Adjustable Hot Sauce: Dial N For Napalm
via Wired: Gadget Lab by Charlie Sorrel on May 12, 2008
Dave's Adjustable Hot Sauce appeals to our capsaicin addiction and also our love of gadgetry.

via www.inc.com by (author unknown) on May 11, 2008
As I wrote last month, I didn't learn much in the Army.Well, let me amend that statement: I got pretty good at taking apart an M-16, blindfolded, in 15 seconds flat. And if the flight attendants on the JAL 747 from Tokyo I'm on right now were to, in a remarkable lapse of Japanese standards of service, throw me off the plane with a parachute, I could do a pretty nice roll when I hit the...

Several days ago, a volcano that had been dormant for 9,000 near the coast of Chile erupted spectacularly, hurling liquified metals and lightning many miles into the sky. The results, which you see here, are called a "dirty thunderstorm," and are quite rare.
