How about a sink that drains water from the attached fishbowl every time you use it. It’s supposed to be a strong deterrent for wasting water, but rumor has it, PETA wasn’t at all happy with that plan. Then there’s the Numi, a toilet that lights up, plays music, heats your rear and your feet and even has a self-cleaning bidet.

In space, nuts in a can might freak you out

In space, nuts in a can might freak you out

“Mixed Nuts in Space.” No, it’s not a sci-fi comedy starring Simon Pegg or a strange space porno. It could possibly be a portion of a horror flick based upon the creepy movements of the nuts in a can suspended in zero gravity. As you’ll see, they seem… alive. Nuts will never be the same again.  …

Health, environmental improvements eyed in shift to electric vehicles

NASA jumps the gun, tells us why the world didn't end ahead of it not actually ending

When you’re talking about why the world didn’t end yesterday, the normal way to do so is to make sure that “yesterday” actually already happened. NASA sets aside conventional thought with their latest video that tells why the world didn’t end yesterday. It’s available on YouTube now, but don’t watch it until December 22nd or it won’t really make any sense. There’s another, more sinister theory.
