Ludicrous – There is no limit to what criminals do. Sometimes stupid, sometimes creative, always wrong, too often hurtful, and, in this case, simply strange. After realizing a child was in a car they stole, they dropped the kid off at school!
Useful – While you are going to have use Google translate, this is a list of the most returned items. In other words, stuff not to buy.
Music – While I grew up with MTv, the truth is most music videos are not that great. Here is a Red Lips cover that is just off the hook! GTA – Red Lips. Kudos to io9 for the find.
PPhoto – I totally agree with io9, the US Navy nailed The Force Awakens with the best spoof to date
Yours – Nothing this week
Science – The article refers to it as Flower Power, a circuit inside a rose!
Thank you for checking out the first list of weekly links I have shared in a good while.
Here they are:
Ludicrous – While I am all for freedom of religion, wearing a spaghetti strainer helmet for you driver’s license photo, in my humble opinion, is ludicrous. Although I confess, she looks happy in the photo.
I had to mention this one as a bonus. It is just a really kewl looking Alien
Since it has been a while since I have published one of these and also the week of Thanksgiving here are a few links for the black shopping days. I originally heard of or found all of these and many more useful tips, hacks and tricks Lifehacker.
Thanks for reading, feel free to share, comment or even send me a PayPal Tip. Feel free to send me any and all suggestions you wish or hit @Lumpy on twitter
Science is awesome! By using a laser, check out what this graphene-based paper can do.
Originally, I found this over at Gizmodo. I also found a little more at nature.com. It is reported that this technology may be used for “robot muscle” and several-molecule-thin popup displays. It works by a laser (or heat) forcing moisture out of the material. When dry it folds one way and when moistened by humidity in the air it bends the opposite. I wonder if it will lead to self-folding origami?
Don’t get me wrong, I love animals and nature. I think it is sad that mankind has driven so many animals to the brink of or literal extinction. I am also an avid reader who tries to keep up with our destructive ways. I am in favor of conversation and alternative energy not because I feel that we understand the environment and our impact on it but because we have no clue.

If I recall correctly, when I studied physics I was taught that the reason we can ice skate and curl “the rock” on ice was due to friction and pressure. In short either pressure, friction or both, create a thin layer of water to glide on. While listening to a recent edition of Science Friday, I was intrigued. This is not actually the case. While the podcast is always very informative, I seek a more detailed explanation. Continue reading “Understanding Ice – Solid, Liquid, Hard or Soft?”→
