Carrot bombs kinda bombed – is this recent rash of carrot-related news indicative of something?

Legos that do braille – how cool i s that?

Diamonds are no longer the hardest substance – might be time to dump that De Beers stock

At last, colored soap bubbles – I can’t think of a better use of R&D dollars

A tribute song to the inventor of chicken nuggets – I had no idea anyone was willing to take credit

Hopefully this Canadian crime wave will cease before the Olympics

There’s a sheep photography competition – a creative challenge if ever there was one

Apparently carrots started out purple – who knew?

UFO-spotting and alien abduction is becoming more popular in Turkey including the brief, friendly abduction of 1991 Eurovision contestant, Reyhan Karaca, by a ‘prawn-colored’ alien -  not the usual color so maybe things are looking up in alien fashions.

There’s nothing wrong with growing carrots – this perhaps the oddest known goal of a lottery winner but at least it’s a healthy one

Raindrop science – some of them really are hitting your head harder!

The guy who loves the American Flag – I can personally attest to the patriotic spirit of his yard
