Imagine a night where your children roam in the dark, knock on strangers’ doors, and wear clothes that disguise their identity, among dozens of other children. And suddenly, you’ve misplaced them because all of the children look the same. Sound like a nightmare? No, in fact, it’s just Halloween.

If you don’t know what Safety Tats are, you should! They’re skin-safe temporary...
What happens to your brain when you swear?
What happens to your brain when you swear?
Interestingly, the brain doesn’t process swear words the way it processes other words. In most people, the left side of the brain handles language, while the right side creates the emotional content of language. Language processing is a “higher” brain function and takes place in the cerebral cortex, while emotion and instinct are...

Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon →

Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed the cute little guy to the right: a metal man gastronomist, “an electromechanical sommelier”, capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d’oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been...

Desktop Underwriter = Illogical
whotookpoop:
Dear Loan Officer,

My status change from Employee to Contractor, at the same company where I have so faithfully worked, should not be the deciding factor on my qualification for a loan. I still make as much money and I am still the same old responsible person as I was when I was receiving that...

“Last night I was just in the mood to go exploring, so I grabbed my trusty torch and headed out. I bought some fresh batteries at the servo across the road and I was on my way! I left at about 12.30am, figuring I’d be back in time to get plenty of sleep before work the next day.”

When Martin Jones met his wife four years ago, he never imagined that one day he would get to see what she looked like.
The 42-year-old builder was left blind after an accident at work more than a decade ago.
But a remarkable operation - which implants part of his tooth in his eye - has now pierced his world of darkness.
