Washington, Mar 13: For the first time in 11 years, 2009 registered Friday the 13th falling in two consecutive months-February and March.

If this wasn''t enough, the double threat isn''t the only Friday the 13th claim to infamy for 2009, a particularly tough year for superstitious minds.

The ominous date falls on three Fridays this year: February 13; this Friday, March 13; and again on November 13.

5-mln yr old shark fossil sheds new light on Great White’s origins

Washington, March 13: A new study of a preserved 4- to 5-million-year-old shark fossil has shed new light on the great white’s origins, and has helped scientists decide which line of species did it evolve from.

Other paleontologists disagree, arguing that the great white shark evolved instead from the broad-toothed mako shark.

The second group contends megalodon, which grew to a length of 60 feet, should have its genus name switched to Carcharocles to reflect its different ancestry.
