These African penguins are playing soccer at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium and amusement park in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo, in celebration of the World Cup soccer tournament, which begins June 11 in the penguins’ home nation of South Africa.

The new study, published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, examines what happened when scientists placed a ‘digital giraffe’ in ‘digital water’.

Creating a digital giraffe involved numerous calculations on weight, mass, size, shape, lung capacity and centre of gravity.Calculations were made to discover rotation dynamics, flotation dynamics and the external surface area of both a giraffe and – for control purposes – a horse.

The authors found that a full-sized adult giraffe would become buoyant in 2.8metres of water. Giraffes can wade across bodies of water that are shallower.

Dr Henderson said: “The idea that giraffes are poor waders or will not cross rivers is untrue and there are no obvious reasons why giraffes might be more prone to sinking than other animals.”

The unusual shape of the giraffe meant that it floated in a peculiar manner, with the long front limbs pulling the body downwards.

so now giraffes can swim, can pigs fly too? LOL

Looking to bake the ultimate super-weapon? Well, you need glow-in-the-dark eggs. Find out how to make eggs glow using common household objects like egg dye, microwaves, and laser pointers.

Case the First: Egg Dye

Effectiveness: One in every three eggs.

Materials: A microwave, at least three eggs, and Easter egg dye, or something else that sodium citrate.

How? How? How? Soak a few uncooked eggs in egg dye (check on the packaging to make sure it contains sodium citrate) for five minutes.

Remove the eggs from the dye and let them dry.

Put them on a plate and nuke ‘em in the microwave for ten seconds. Too long and the heat will build up inside the shell and cause the egg to explode, too little and you’ll have stained your fingers with egg dye for nothing.

Take the eggs out and put them in a dark room. One out of every three should glow. The dye reacts with the proteins in the egg and the energy from the microwave to shoot off some photons in a manner which can only be described as “cool looking.”

Case the Second: Lasers

Effectiveness: One in every eleven eggs.

Materials: A few dozen eggs. A laser pointer.

How? How? How? Kill the lights and shine the laser at the eggs. After a while, the egg should start to glow. One in eleven eggs will produce a, well, literal buttload of omega-3 radiation. When the laser excites the atoms in the egg, each atom gets its neighbors riled, and the egg radiates energy.

Bonus: You can crack open this egg and play with the glowing yolk.

Are They Edible?

Do you really want to eat a glowing egg? You know what, nevermind. I know the answer is “yes.”  If you really want something inside you to glow, just swallow a lightbulb, or one of those stick-on glow-in-the-dark stars that you can put on your bedroom walls. Leave the egg alone.

go try this and post onto the forum if you egg really glowed!! i’ll be trying this when i have the time!

I DEMAND MY HOUSE BE BUILT USING THIS!!!

it’s after lunch and we’re all sleepy. they call it food coma.

all full from the food at lunch, and our brains are just now working anymore, our eyelids feel heavy.

i went to google ‘how to avoid food coma’ and guess what! there are ways which prevent you from getting food coma!

step 1: eat all 3 meals a day

When you skip/delay meals, your body is more apt to channel all those nutrient starved blood cells straight to your abdomen ON THE DOUBLE which means oxygen deprivation (food coma) for your brain.

step 2: don’t stuff yourself full

The more stuffed you become, the more life giving blood must be channeled to your intestines to absorb it.

step 3: avoid excess carbs

The resulting sugar spike in your body will cause you to feel extremely fatigued and lethargic.

hope this helps you guys! i will def follow the advice given to prevent myself from getting all sleepy again!!

saw this on the internet!! some guy drove his truck which was on fire to the fire station!
