By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb — the area of the brain that receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose — the researchers at the University of Tokyo were able to create a "fearless" mouse that does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators.

I've often been annoyed that almost every package of food in the grocery store has a "Nutritional Facts" label; however, there's not one single drop of Nutritional information in the produce aisle. I certainly do not want every single apple to be packaged in a box or bag just so I can see the little Nutritional Facts table, but adding a little sign by the apples would be a nice touch.
In my quest to see how healthy today's lunch is, I came across the coolest site that shows all sorts of info about the food you eat with really neat graphics that do a great job at communicating the Nutritional Facts visually. Here's the low-down on an average Apple -- www.nutritiondata.com .

In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I, in turn, will do my best for the Cause by writing editorials – after the fact."

Stumbled across this site while looking for a Lawrence Welk e-Card (because hey, anyone would love to get a Lawrence Welk e-Card, right?)...
Heck No!
It is now a well known fact that robots and the internet are taking over the world. Also, through my research it has become apparent that robots do, in fact, prefer techno to country, bee-bop, and/or punk.
"Every sixty seconds, thirty acres of rain forest are destroyed in order to raise beef for fast-food restaurants that sell it to people, giving them strokes and heart attacks, which raise medical costs and insurance rates, providing insurance companies with more money to invest in large corporations that branch out further into the Third World so they can destroy more rain forests"
