The world nowadays, is full with fucked up guys who look at girls as a sex object, which in turn causing sex crime to increase. The common use of pepper spray or krav maga or both in protecting oneself from being raped certainly makes the male antagonist to be creative, hence, the date and rape drug.
In Malaysia, i believe the use of alcohol is not so often, plus people kinda look weird on you if you consume alcohol without medical purposes. Hence, the fucked up men now use some kind of strong sleeping pills which i think is legally obtained. But rest assured girls, with the new smart straw will help you in ID-ing whether your drink is drugged or not.
Drugs in pills or powder form is used in date rape drug.
From Tel Aviv university's school of chemistry, Professor Fernando Patolsky and Doctor Michael Ioffe have designed a sensor which looks like a straw or stirrer that will test the presence of drugs by sucking a small amount of the drink and the chemical reaction that follows will change the color of the sensor.
Just dip the sensor in your drink and voila, you'll know.
According to the experiment done so far, a 100% in accuracy for GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and ketamine. The next step will be rohypnol, another common date rape drug. All of these were odorless, colorless and tasteless, well obviously or else you'll change your drink.
The formula for the sensor is inexpensive and marketable but in order to communicate the danger of the drink, scientists may need to add features, for example a message text to your phone when the danger is present. Or else, the asshole may notice that the straw changes its color and this will spook him off.
Well, though first date is supposed to be a happy date, having this will surely become a mood killer for you. Anyway, it's for your safety.
Imagine if you're in your late 20s, or early 30s or 40s, and suddenly there's a young, pure prepubescent kid did a job that can cause you to lose yours?? Well, at least that's how i felt about this kid Aidan Dwyer a 13 year old Junior High School from New York.
Dwyer, with his idea of more effective solar panel configuration
This kid, while hiking through the mountain noticed that the arrangement of the leaves on the trees, are following the natural fibonacci sequence, where a number is equal to the sum of its previous two. He deduced that this particular arrangement of leaves must happened for a reason, and he thinks that the reason of why it behaves that way is because to efficiently collect or harness the solar power.
Intrigued by this idea, Dwyer created his own solar tree cells, following the fibonacci sequence. And the result, as astonishing as it is, was it produces 20% - 50% more power output when compared with normal photovoltaic panels. His achievement was recognized by The Young Naturist Awards and granted him a provisional US patent of the solar tree cells.

This amazing biomimicry design is hope to give new insight in designing the solar panel that is more efficient and productive. And hopefully, with the advancement in harnessing solar energy, hot countries can utilize this energy to develop a more advance and well-equipped environment for people to live in.
Among all the impossible thing to do in this world, there are 10 that you can try it yourself. Well, the word almost is because SOME people can do it. But please don't go as far as to be in the world record for this.
NUMBER 10 - Raising One Eyebrow.
Dwayne Johnson, among the character that can lift one eyebrow
Well, it is almost impossible but because the famous actor/former wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can do it, everybody started to try and with passion to obtain this almost impossible ability, they manage to perform this impossible act.
NUMBER 9 - Licking Your Own Elbow
Amazing tongue technique!!
Okay, this is another almost impossible thing to do. In some notes, they listed a few things and among them is "You can't lick your own elbow" and most people upon reading it will try to lick their own elbow according to a simple survey. But damn it, i can't do this either!!
NUMBER 8 - Gleeting
Picture from Wikipedia. This man name Patrick Ellison can do this
almost impossible thing to do with your mouth.
The term gleeting exists only in urban dictionary but the essential meaning is you spit the saliva out of your mouth by using the compression from your tongue. It looks gross, and yet it is fascinating because not many people can do it. Well, this one looks gross, so i'm not gonna try it.
NUMBER 7 - Nose Twitch
At first i didn't know that this thing is actually almost impossible for us to do, well partly because my big bro can do it and some of my friends can too. But yeah, just look at the video to know what nose twitch is.
NUMBER 6 - Wiggling Your Ear
I think the first time i saw this was when i watched Mr Bean starring by Rowan Atkinson. But it has been years since i saw that video and i couldn't find one on youtube, so here's the video showing wiggling ear. Some claim that this is hereditary but there also others who claim that they learnt how to do it.
NUMBER 5 - Touching Your Nose or Chin Using Your Tongue
This one, well, i've tried it a few times and damn it, it's hard. I'm not sure if the shape of the nose and tongue render this possible or not but one thing for sure, you definitely have a long tongue if you can do this.
NUMBER 4 - Tongue Trick
Heh. this one, let's just say i can't do it. Damn it. I think my genetics prevented me from doing anything stupid for that matter.
NUMBER 3 - Sneeze With Your Eyes Open
Apparently it is possible. But from what i know, a person suffering an illness which can paralyze their reflex action can do this if i'm not mistaken. You can also force to open your eyes like these crazy mythbusters. And yes, your eyes won't pop out because the optic muscles around the eyes are strong enough to hold it in place even if you sneeze out a 100mph of mucus/liquid/saliva from your mouth and nose.
NUMBER 2 - Tickle Yourself
I think this one is really impossible for anyone but maybe there are people who can tickle themselves that have not yet been documented. Well, the reason is because our brain can predict our own movement, hence canceling the tickling sensation whenever we're about to tickle ourselves. Unfortunately, the brain can't predict the movement of external tickling stimuli, that's why we laugh whenever someone tickle us and not when we tried to tickle ourselves.
NUMBER 1 - (FOR MALE ONLY)
TOUCHING YOUR OWN *****
Due to graphic violation content, the size of the
picture can't be bigger than 200 x 200 pixels.
Well, this is the sickest among them all. But according to the sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, 2 or 3 out of 1000 men can toot their own horn. One man claim to be able to do it after doing yoga for 3 years. Well, i bet most gymnasts can do it but seriously, this one is the hardest and the sickest among all the things that you can't do with your body.
For the bonus part, you can read the site where i took this information here.
EES, stands for Epidermis Electronic System is now the new thing in medical industry. Remember how the hospital wards look like? Yeah, an advance, sophisticate machines attached to the patient where God knows what will happen if you unplug the machine. But thanks to researchers at the University of Illinois, together with the Northwestern University, Tufts University, the Institute of High Performance Computing in Singapore, and the Dalian University of Technology, in China, who were also part of the study team, we'll probably say goodbye to these machines in the next decade.
This view will probably extinct in the next decade (God i hope so!!!)
The researchers said that the chip that they invented, will looks like a regular tattoo, but with the ability to transfer medical data wirelessly. Heart movement, brain activity, muscle monitoring and even speech pattern can be analyzed using this patch. With the existence of this patch, i think most people won't be afraid to go to hospital anymore because it's less scary and much more charming without the big, bulky machine.
This invention without doubt will blurred the boundary between technology and biology and hopefully with the advancement of this machine, the healthcare system especially in third world countries can be improved and lots of people can be saved within time.
The lead project researcher, Yonggang Huang, explaining the EES technology
Behold! This new machine may helps you think twice before you throw your plastic waste. The machine, invented by Akinori Ito from Japan achieved the dream of converting one kilogram of plastic to one liter of oil. Well, since plastic did came from crude oil, it is not an entirely impossible to convert it back to oil.
The machine, that looks like a big coffee maker,according to its inventor can reduced up to 80% of carbon emission from normal plastic disposal methods. Ito hopes that this machine can be bought by anybody and as for 30 November 2010, the price was USD 9500 and the latest price with some improvement made to the new model, is around USD 12700.
Below is the video showing the details about this machine.
