Wednesday Zeitgeist

Ah Wednesday, everyone's favourite day of the week. Better than working, that's for sure.

We're all doomed: Scientists have estimated the asteroid (named Apophis after the Egyptian god of destruction) has a one-in-45,000 chance of striking Earth on 13 April, 2036. You'll never believe the plan they've concocted.

Forgetting to take medicine may be a thing of the past as researchers close in on creating an artificial tooth which automatically releases medicine. The Intellidrug device is small enough to fit inside two artificial molars in the jaw, the Engineer journal said


Dates are really really hard to program: Lockheed's F-22 Raptor Gets Zapped by International Date Line

Albino Peacock:


Mother coached children to fake retardation

Release the Freaks: the premier destination for character art presenting an unparalleled collection of designer toys.

Speaking of freaks:


Why can't programmers program?
Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”.
