The home of a Hollywood sex symbol is now officially an historical landmark. The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously yesterday to give Marilyn Monroe's home in LA's Brentwood neighborhood the designation. The current owners of the home had planned to demolish it and combine it with the property they own next door. The 29-hundred-square-foot home was the only one ever owned by Monroe and is where she died in 1962.

A 400-million-year-old species has returned to the Oregon Zoo. 25 Pacific lamprey moved in this week. The ancient fish predate dinosaurs and even trees. Guests can see the lamprey in the Cascade stream and pond section of the Zoo's Great Northwest area. They're often suctioned onto the glass, showing their sucker-like mouths and rings of sharp yellow teeth. The lamprey stay at the zoo through the winter, and are transported to tributaries of the upper Columbia and Snake rivers once they're ready to spawn.
