Eternal Cheeseburger

This video is not for the faint of heart, and those who visit fast food regularly.

A cheeseburger from McDonald, New York left untouched for 137 days, still fresh. Dunk in hydrochloric acid, no problem. I am not sure, did they try electrocuting it? Maybe it's only weakness is Kryptonite.

This is The food they should pack for a nuclear fallout.

Stock it now! in case the price of gold drops, or you can sell them back to McDonald when they run out of burger.

Will MaxiCash accept this huh?

Thanks, jymster.

In year 2011, an average person can afford to pay 200K for space travel

The world first spaceport will be build in New Mexico, quote from Coolest Gadget,

"So it should be two years before the average person will be able to fly into space as a tourist. By “average person”, I mean anyone who has $200,000 to spare. Yeah, I didn’t think this whole tourist space travel thing would be cheap, either."

How to make 200USD in cash before I leave this world? That is the question.

Scientist discovered flight theory that can reduce drag on cylinder

It turn out, wing of bird was very well designed, er, evolved. According to New Scientist’s report and Journal of Fluid Mechanic, the vibration of some convert feathers on bird’s wing reduce drag on the wing significantly by sticking up at right angles to the surface. This finding, allows researcher to create synthetic feathers as rigid keratin bristles 4 to 6 centimetres long and 0.5 millimetres in diameter which can reduce drag on cylinder by 15%. Quote fro NS,

“With the feathers, the low-pressure slipstream does not form, and the vortices affecting the cylinder are weaker.”

Ben 10 Final Alien mockery

I love this final alien of Ben 10, where he transforms into the most powerful being in the whole universe. This omnipotent 3 in 1 cannot get anything done. Rage and Aggression is against the extinction of dinosaur. Love and compassion sez, “I am sad about Earth is going to be destroyed”.

Ben Tennyson (The voice of reason) sez, “You guys are useless, you don’t do anything! Let me out!”

This Alien X, is just another cartoon hor? No subliminal message hor.

HIV vaccine by 2010. Good news?

A small group of Ugandans were found to have natural HIV resistant. Quote from New Vision online,

“They have special white blood cells that can only be produced when the virus attacks the body. However, even with the most sophisticated tests, HIV could not be found in these individuals, implying that the virus had tried to infect them but the immune system kicked it out.”

But wait, there is no breakthrough yet.

Bandai HR Calculator, Predicts Your Future

I cannot read Japanese. According to TokyoMango, it combined techniques of numerology to forecast your future. It is only for fun, isn’t it? No one can say accurately about future.

You see, my analogy of future is like this, if you can tell but cannot change, then there is no point to know. You won’t need to know if you can change. Right?

Have fun with this calculator(Link). 4 colors. Via TokyoMango.
