In an early scene, Widow Twankey, Aladdin's transvestite mother whose outlandish outfits rival those of Lady Gaga, recounts why she had to return her antiperspirant to the local pharmacy: "The instructions said, 'Take off top and push up bottom.'

He sits in front of one of dozens of dimly lit, tin-sheet roofed shelters, with clothes, suitcases, extra furniture, garbage and even domestic chickens littered out front.

British scientists discovered the gaping, man-made hole in the ozone layer in the 1980s, while studies of Antarctic ice have contributed to our understanding of climate change - and increased concerns over catastrophically high sea levels if the continent's thick glaciers were to melt. One of the most integral aspects of Antarctic scientific study remains, surprisingly, meteorites: the continent is a collecting ground for them, preserved well because they naturally bury into the ice for thousands of years...
