Scientists Find Lost Continent (or, at the Very Least, Some
Weird Sand)  Photo: iStockphoto  Scientists believe they've
found a lost continent in the Indian Ocean*, one that was wedged
between Madagascar and India about 85 million years ago. The
discovery is based on an analysis of the sand on the island of
Mauritius, but, long story short, the lost continent is far
beneath the ocean and is way too old to have any cool ancient
ruins like the ones in the adjacent stock photo, so it doesn't
really do any of us any good.  *Indian, not Pacific.
