In what has to be one of the weirdest science stories I’ve heard lately, scientists in China were able to induce clouds to spit snow out on the unsuspecting country. How’d they do that? The same way other fun things happen. They shot them full of chemicals. [...]

You’ve probably said to yourself at one time or another, “Man, I’d love to plaster cast my dick and then give that as a gift to my girlfriend.”

The whole thing does kind of have a creepy feel to it, though. Like it’s too clean and sanitized, which is an odd thing to say considering we’re talking about food. But if the meat or fish made by the Cocoon is safe and just as tasty as “real” meat… then why not use it? [...]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve had it up to here with riding my giant original penny-farthing bike. I sure wish someone would take that design, shrink it, electrify it and make it a cool, foldable, portable mode of transport in a crowded city.

Sharks are ridiculously awesome animals. They’ve been unchanged killing machines for millions of years, they can repel even the nastiest of diseases, and now, researchers are finding out that even when they synthesize features that belong to sharks, they’re incredibly useful. Such as synthetic sharkskin. [...]

Sometimes science gives us things we don’t need. Other times, science gives us things nobody thought we needed originally, that are really quite horrifying … and why would you even THINK OF INVENTING THAT? This is one of those things. This is a hat, that if you’re not smiling, pokes you with a metal spike. Until you smile. [...]
