This isn't really scary. It's actually very cool! But I didn't see an appropriate category to post this in.

Charge your cell phone with fire! Unbelievable!

A clock that runs on just water .....

Bedol has an alarm clock that runs on tap water.  You don't have to put anything in the water – no salts or anything – just tap water.

I see those TV shows about Sasquatch and laugh. But then ..... I see this. Who knows?

World's Rarest Whale Seen for the First Time

A whale that is almost unknown to science has been seen for the first time after two individuals — a mother and her male calf — were stranded and died on a New Zealand beach. A report in the November 6, 2012 issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, offers the first complete description of the spade-toothed beaked whale (Mesoplodon traversii), a species previously known only from a few bones.
The discovery is the first evidence that this whale is still with us and serves as a reminder of just how little we still know about life in the ocean, the researchers say.

Yup. Saw this a few days back and thought, "Wow. We apparently have not even scratched the surface surrounding what this planet contains."

It looks more like a dolphin than a whale...very cool though.
It makes you wonder just how many more "rare" spieces are out there....

Yet another Star Trek prediction comes true ....

Star Trek's "tractor" beam created in miniature by researchers

A team of scientists from Scotland and the Czech Republic has created a real-life "tractor" beam, as featured in the Star Trek movies, which for the first time allows a beam of light to attract objects.
