“Any ketchup fan will tell you: Getting that last dollop of the red stuff out of the bottle is a headache – and it normally just ends up in the bin. But now, a radical new bottle design could spell the end of that problem forever. The MIT university team came up with LiquiGlide, a ‘super-slippery’ coating which makes the insides of the bottle so frictionless that the sludgy goo inside just slides out like water. The results are astonishing – and any burger and chips fan out there should prepare to be amazed. MIT PhD candidate Dave Smith and his team of mechanical engineers and nano-technologists at the Varanasi Research Group spent two months devising a solution.” — GV Medias

“The 20-year-old junior from Thomas More College was in left field when Reds pitcher Mike Leake hit his first career homer in the fourth inning. The ball went directly to Lloyd, who had never caught a ball at a game. Three pitches later, shortstop Zack Cozart hit another one to the same area. The ball bounced right to Lloyd, who had one free hand. He gave the second home run ball to the friend who had convinced him to go to the game and provided the tickets. Knowing it was Leake’s first career homer, Lloyd saved that ball and offered it to the pitcher for an autograph after the game. The Reds beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1.” — ESPN

“Love the idea, but does anyone else see the irony in promoting the naturalness of fruit by cramming them in plastic molds to force them into unnatural shapes?” — vdias

“Disco does get a LOT of interaction – he has three humans who are crazy about him (and just plain crazy)… I know some people are dubious about his speaking ability. It does seem odd that a little green thing could speak so clearly and say so many things, I understand!” — MsJumpinJude

“The nudibranch is a soft bodied marine gastropod mollusk – but many people simply refer to them, perhaps somewhat unfairly, as sea slugs. You can see why they gained this nick name (even though it is often taxonomically inaccurate too!) but compared to the land bound version they are an explosion of color and grace. Here are just a few of the 3,000 species.” w/ photos

“Just the thought of mold is something that makes many people involuntarily shudder. Yet there is more to it than meets the eye – particularly if you are lucky enough to see Kim Fleming’s remarkable macrophotography. Up close we are witness to an enigmatic and beautiful alien world on our own doorstep. This strange and wonderful thing is Hemitrichia calyculata. It typically has stalked sporocarps. These are fruiting bodies which contain sporangia – the mold version of seeds. They look like the weird plants that featured in numerous 1950s science fiction B-movies. Or maybe even some strange alien egg pods, left to be discovered by innocent space travelers. No need to worry, though – at most they reach two and a half millimeters in height.” w/ photos

“Rules: Just the beeps, whirs, chirps, and scratches that make up the ‘dialogue’ for R2D2. He needed to be on-screen, and beeping/talking… everything else was cut.”

“Part of a water park near the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, Insano is known as one of the most thrilling water park attractions in the world. Constructed in 1989, it still holds the record for the highest water slide on Earth, at 134ft high. That’s as tall as a 14-storey building, in case you were wondering. What makes Insano ‘the most extreme equipment of this type on the planet’ (according to the beach park’s official site) is the very steep slide that really lets gravity do its number on anyone crazy enough to try it. Apparently, the whole decent takes just 4 to 5 seconds but during that time you can reach speeds of up to 65mph. That’s as fast as a Ferrari.” w/ photos + video

“I developed a strange obsession with a particular scene that uses this song, I’ve watched it probably a total of about 30 times. That’s why I made this. I regret nothing.” — m.m26

“Nice concept, but there’s no point putting a scope on it or pretending it’s going to have any sort of reliable accuracy when the first thing you have to do to fire it is remove your steadying hand and then jerk a trigger mechanism… at the slow mo bit, just look at how much your barrel bends and shakes just before you actually turn the release valve… just when you really don’t want it to move even a mm if you can help it.” — LordDarkwii

“It happens a lot. The bar backed up right before the cobble shears. When that happens the bar comes out before going into the shears. By the way this is not just a steel mill, we run a lot of nickle base alloys. Different properties all of the time.” — irlvs
