Koreans
Back in January the FDA announced that cloned meat is safe to eat. In a similar move, today I read that a South Korean company will clone your dead dog for $150,000. (drumroll)
Last month I learned that Duluth is a mecca for South Koreans. That is, if you mention this particular Atlanta suburb to an average person walking about Soul chances are they will know exactly where you are talking about. For years I knew Duluth had a strong Korean presence, but all cities have parts that are heavily influenced by a particular culture. Who knew Duluth was so special?

10.26.07Fun Science Videos
Discover Magazine ran a contest for the best 2 minute video that explained basics behind String Theory. The winner is titled String Ducky. I think the narrator may be Dexter’s real-life seester, not to be confused with steupid Dee Dee. I just learned of the results this morning, which is quite a coincidence given our recent dinner conversations. The video reminded me of another scientific short I enjoyed. It is a 10 minute video promoting a book titled Imagining the Tenth Dimension. The video does a fantastic job illustrating the lower dimensions and gracefully moves to describe what it higher dimensions might entail. It concludes by explaining how the author believes this fits into popular variations of String Theory.

I am fascinated by drinks the suspend the require an opaque liquid suspended in a clear one. This summer I ran around town trying to create by own Jellyfish shooter. This Halloween I find a photo of a Bloody Brain. It’s no where near as interesting as the Jellyfish, but It would make fun detail to add to an adult costume party.
