X-men ARE REAL! (I call being Gambit): Girl confirmed unanimously by scientists has X-ray Eyes

I'm not shitting you on this one (Well I haven't pulled any legs recently, so you have no reason to mistrust me.....although be skeptical, that's just smart) but the mutant gene MAY be real.....
That's right guys and gals, a 17 year old russian girl name Natasha Demkina possess X-ray vision. Although it probably isn't what you think it is, it is still freaking amazing! Oh and she can sometimes diagnose people before them, their doctor, or medical science would even have a clue (although those kind of results aren't typical)

Read on if you are intrigued (and you know you are baby ;-) wink)

AWEscience, you got the hook-up: Nifty Gadgets

I rather enjoy how inadvertantly I stumble things and they accumulate into articles that type themselves. Here's one right here, right now.... So I've compiled a list of some sweet items the Do-it-yourselfer'er may be interested in:

Article Number 1:

The Leatherman Raptor: a multi-tool built to save lives

AWEscience source article: Here
PROS: Best multi use tool EVER (in theory)
CONS: Nothing, makes pocketknifes cry


Continue on with a few more cool gadgets, gizmos and solar powered smiles :-)

Update!: Science is coming your wayyy and T-rex sex too (gotcha with the title)

So I came across a new science journal today (technically last night, but that was 2am so double technically it WAS today....nvr mnd), AWEscience, and it is AMAZING! I found out about it last night while stumbling and reading and just perusing the internet when I found that page on liquid oxygen. The rest is short-term history! But I am getting sidetracked (which is fun also) so here's the point: I want to present a BUNCH of articles from their website. SO HERE WE GO!


Article #1 starts us off: One solar tower to rule them all!

Twice the height of the Empire State – EnviroMission plans massive solar tower for Arizona


Hell yeah, solar energy, now you've just gotta construct Sauron's solar tower and you can begin
to rule 3rd-rock-from-the-sun-Earth (calling it 'middle Earth' was just wayy too impractical) and 
destroy the ELVES and realm of free men. Just kidding. But seriously...
I think it's a wonderful idea, and if it helps cut energy costs who would oppose it 
(energy conglomerates...duh) 
this sucker will sit at 2625 ft tall and is projected to produce 200-megawatts of power generation and will reliably feed the grid with enough power for 150,000 US homes. Here's the best part: Once it’s built, it can be expected to more or less sit there producing clean, renewable power with virtually no maintenance until it's over 80 years old! (boomshakalaka)

Here's a rundown of how it works (quoted from article)
"Enviromission’s solar tower is a simple idea taken to gigantic proportions. The sun beats down on a large covered greenhouse area at the bottom, warming the air underneath it. Hot air wants to rise, so there’s a central point for it to rush towards and escape; the tower in the middle. And there’s a bunch of turbines at the base of the tower that generate electricity from that natural updraft."

more info on the tower here (orig article)


Moving on...... (continue reading for about 4 more articles involving badassness)
