	Hand vs. Liquid Nitrogen and the Leidenfrost Effect “I stick my hand (momentarily) directly into liquid nitrogen but don’t suffer any injuries due to the Leidenfrost effect.

	Starwars, solo. A woman plays all parts of the original Star Wars score at once with a sine Electone organ. Link
	QI – What’s The Commonest Metal In The Human Body? Do you know? The contest on the always hilarious QI does – and lots more about the elements too. Link
	What exactly IS Schrödinger’s Cat? You’ve probably heard of the famous thought experiment – but this is a very nice explanation on how it actually works. Link
	Guy Installs Horn from a Navy Destroyer on his car! YT: This is a 1940′s Doran Cunningham air horn. Usually found on WWII US Navy destroyer ships, and also found on some older ferries. There are only 2 of these that are being used that I know of. Link
