Geekologie.com | May, 23rd 2007 | This Chinese woman claims her cat has grown two 4 inch long wings.
"At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings," she said. Feng, of Xianyang city, Shaanxi province, says the wings, which contain bones, make her pet look like a 'cat angel'.

Her explanation is that the cat sprouted the wings after being sexually harassed. "A month ago, many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said.

Zephyr Solar Plane Lands After Over 2 Weeks In the Air

Treehugger.com | July, 23 2010 | A week ago we wrote about the Zephyr "Eternal Aircraft", an unmanned solar plane that had just broken many records by staying up in the air for 7 days.

Well, the Zephyr has finally landed at the US Army's Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona after 14 days and 24 minutes, setting a new record that will no doubt be broken the next time the Zephyr decides to take off (at this point, breaking records seems to only be a matter of being patient enough, since the solar plane doesn't need refueling anyway)

Monowheel - A One-wheeled Bicycle

Obviousmag.org | May, 24th 2008 | Although the concept isn't new and various monocycles of this kind had already been built, it's unlikely you'll find one for sale, even in special stores. That's what happened to british designer Ben Wilson, who, consequently, decided to build his own one-wheeled vehicle, which he simply named Monowheel.

Like many others, the Monowheel is powered by pedals, however, in this case, the rider sits within the wheel, in an almost lied down position. It's not a very confortable position, but this is not an utilitary vehicle of any kind, merely a demonstrative one, ordered for the "XXI Century Man" exhibition in Tokyo.

Seven Legged Calf

Neatorama.com | May, 25 2009 | A seven-legged calf was born in Steamboat Springs, Colorado on Thursday.
Veterinarian Lee Meyring delivered the animal and called its condition a birth anomaly.

“I’ve been in practice for 14 years, and I’ve only seen one other calf with a fifth leg,” Meyring said. “And so this one’s definitely the most bizarre I’ve seen. It’s just a twinning process that had an incomplete splitting of the embryo, then the fetus.”

The mother seemed to be OK, Lynn said. The calf lived only 10 minutes, she said. One of the seven legs had two hooves. The calf had two spines but just one head. The veterinarians don’t plan to examine its organs.

Tree That Charge Your Phone

walyou.com | June 25th, 2010 | Plants have an excellent process to produce clean energy and make their own food. The leaves trap light energy, which they receive from the sun, and convert it into chemical energy. This chemical energy uses water and carbon dioxide (that enters the leaf through the stomata) in a chemical reaction that produces sugar – food for the plant. The by-product of this reaction is oxygen, which is released in the atmosphere.

Plants are able to produce clean energy without disrupting the balance of Earth’s ecosystem, and providing us with an important life support in the form of oxygen.

Human beings are the most advanced species on this planet. However, in spite of all our progress, we have not been able to produce clean energy on a mass scale as the plants do. In fact, the energy produced by photosynthesis is six times more than the power consumption of our entire planet.
