Image of the Day: scientists in panda suits examine bear cubs

Share

'To help prepare cubs born in captivity for life in the wild, Chinese
researchers are doing something a bit unexpected: donning panda
costumes. I know what you're thinking…doesn't the baby panda sense
something's afoot? But folks at the Hetaoping Research and
Conservation Centre in western China think cubs will be much more
likely to adjust to the wild if they are cared for by "pandas" in
captivity.'

"It's been a while since there's been a big time step forward in the world of toilet paper, but hoo boy, it's been worth the wait. That's because Kimberly-Clark is rolling out a new line of Scott TP that has no tube. What witchcraft is this?"

Think About Your Next Cruise!

Share

Here is a wild video of a cruise ship in a bad storm and it looks like multiple failures of safety procedures. If there were any at all! :-(

The above video is from LiveLeak and is longer than the one from the Dvice article.

Share

"Every time a toilet flushes, water rushes downwards thanks to gravity and an opportunity is lost. But with the HighDro system, those flushes can be converted into energy to power whatever building they're in."

Great, even our beds could be causing cancer

Share

"Swedish study is trying to nail down the reason that cancer is 10% more likely to occur in the left breast over the right, on top of the steadily increasing risk of cancer over last 30 years. One theory? Your box spring could be a giant, radiation-emitting antenna."

Fake Newspaper Laptop Case Guards Against Uneducated Thieves

Share

A Macbook Pro laptop case looks like a newspaper and may just may make your Macbook Pro less of a target for thieves. One improvement I can think of... Allow the user to slip a current sheet of newspaper into a sleeve on the outside of the case.

Own A Real Star Trek Phaser

Share

Nice. Here is a model kit based on the Type 1 Phaser of Star Trek TOS.

There's no shortage of Star Trek paraphernalia, but this Star Trek Hero Type-I Phaser Kit gives you exactly the same prop that was used on the original Star Trek series. You can be sure this replica will have the same look and feel of the original, because it was "molded off an original prop for perfect accuracy."
