Brilliantly Odd Takes Of Super Mario, LOTR And More…

However, that doesn't mean that we won't keep trying until we figure it out. As a matter of fact, there are several institutions and scientists that are working on ...

Beware Criminals: McDonald’s Will Spray You With DNA!
This is awesome! I don't know much about DNA technology, but what I do know is that if a thief leaves a trace of DNA, he's totally busted. Of course, I learned that from watching CSI: Miami, which is surprisingly educational.
