Sumo's make babies cry.

At least, that's part of the tradition being shown here.

Scans of a 19th Century Science Book

After looking at this picture, I realised how much science has advanced over the last 100 years. Certainly, we don't believe in such monsters anymore. At least not the loch-ness monster. Or the fact that crocodiles cry 'fountains' of water from their tears or that they are any sort of 'competent' living being to be able to lift their heads that high above the water.

What's interesting to note is that this is what scientists believed and perceived the world to be like 100 years ago. Fascinating really. At least they had the background right.

Ipod Earrings

Why would anyone want this? Someone please tell me.

They're alright. Just, not something I'd wear.

A new way to do Surgery

Removing your appendix via your mouth. Amazing. No scars. Just removal. Through the mouth. Interested? Find out more.

P.S I didn't put any pictures, just in case some of you are sensitive to that stuff.

Women Drivers Better?

Apparently. I mean, according to ONE survey. I guess, you'll have to check out this report from The Age, for proof.

Heated water the CHEAP way

What is this thing, you think? Try and look closely and think of the most subtle thing. It's a block of cans. Aluminium cans. What is it for? Water heating of course.

If any of you had done science, you might know that black absorbs heat. So the cans are painted black in order to absorb the most amount of heat from the sun, and the air inside is thus heated from the sun.

Apparently it heats up to 15 degrees higher than what you put into it initially. Quite... fascinating... to say the least. But yeah. I guess if you wanted to make one, you could click the link above.

Improving energy production methods

www.treehugger.com recently wrote an article about improving ways to implement different forms of energy production. It's a website pretty much dedicated to articles about helping global warming, or pertaining to the subject and I'll be referring more blog articles from that website too as I see fit so that you guys don't have to go to it all the time.

The new article I'm talking about is about implementing wind power. They talk about putting these wind structure thingies on highways to help wind generated power. It seems rather interesting to me. Check out the full article here.
