I was thinking of how much those Tobacco companies are missing by not tagging their Ultra Light Cigarette Packs with the term: "Smoke Responsibly". But I guess the reason they haven't gone with this approach is the additional liability. In fact, it seems that ultra light cigarettes are as harmful to one's health as regular ones - if not worse.

That would translate the term "Smoke Responsibly" to "Minimize Smoking" or get rid of this habit once and for all.

I've recently noticed Redbull coming up with a new can; double the size (16oz) of the standard Redbull can (8oz). I did a quick search online, and it seems they also have a 24oz can too. That got me thinking... Why don't they think of marketing a new can the size of a shot (~4oz).... I can already imagine sales doubling!

Ever wondered how many feet is your foot? According to the French system, the shoe size is measured as follows: shoe size = 3/2 * (length of foot in cm + 2cm). My shoe size is 42. Thus, the length of my foot in cm is (42 * 2/3) - 2 = 26cm ~ 1/4 meter. In feet, it's 26/30.5 = 0.85 feet.

This pops another questions... Who has the perfect feet? Someone with a shoe size of 3/2 * (25 + 2) = 40.5 (1/4 meter). If you are one of them; go celebrate! You 'naturally' fit into the 'French System'. Doh...

Imagine inhaling all that is in a cigarette and then blowing... but there is nothing... No smoke coming out! What sense does that make?

Is it the smoke that gives the pleasure or the nicotine?

I guess the former...

Wired magazine has a gallery containing images from the nanoworld with a little description of each image.

It is really important and fun to explore smaller worlds that the human eye can't see. That's what makes Immunology and Quantum Physics so cool. Worth checking out: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/multimedia/2008/02/nano_gallery_jmm?slide=1&slideView=10

British scientists have discovered a way to turn female bone marrow into sperm, which makes our species capable of surviving without males! One more factor that takes males out of scope is that newborns are only females, due to the lack of the Y chromosome in females (females are XX while males are XY). However, the method does not guarantee a birth without defects, and so it's not the right time to put men out of the shelf of evolution. In fact, for ages to come, this would still not be possible as it's not a process of 'natural' selection.
