    Scientists used these clever blood cells to develop a test called Limulus Amebocyte Lysate, or LAL, which checks new vaccines for contamination. This technique has been used all over the world since the 1970s to stop medical professionals giving out jabs full of bad bacteria that could make humans very sick.

    If you play trumpet in band, you instantly become so cool that your coolness actually has a gravitational pull. In addition, there's something (i can't remember the nane) that can happen to your skin if you're too close to a heat source for a really long time- your vessels leak out bits of iron, slowly turning your skin mottled red. It takes a really long time to go away, but it's harmless. I know this because I have it on my lower legs

    Nobel Peace Prizes are like the Golden Globes of humanitarian awards. They look really nice, but in the end they'll hand them out to anyone that looks good - no matter how much of a race-baiting jerk they were or how they used that philosophy to get into power (and I'm not talking about Adolf here)
