The Franklin Digital Cooler is not only a cooler, it’s also a warmer!
We have the technology that no one else has. The same technology used by NASA for spacecraft has now been modified for consumer use. Now with a tiny NASA microchip we have made the first portable fridge that can go from hot to FREEZING cold in a matter of minutes.
This reminds me of the old joke about a thermos keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold -how does it know the difference? I guess this answers that question! Link -via Gizmodo
A ten-week-old kitten named Molly survived a 20-minute cycle in a washing machine! Bethany Hall saw her kitten scratching against the washing machine door. Even so, the door wouldn’t open for several minutes while the water drained. Veterinarians treated Molly for eye damage and breathing difficulties.

Gyotaku is the Japanese art of making fish prints on delicate rice paper. This artform reproduces the exact features and characteristics of actual, individual fish. In Japanese, "gyo" translates to "fish" and "taku" translates to "stone rubbing" which refers to the technique of fish rubbing. Gyotaku began in Japan or China in the early 1800s as a means to measure and record a commercial fisherman's catch.
Florida artist Burt Lancaster learned the art of fish rubbing during his childhood in Japan. In addition to painting and exhibiting his works, he and his wife Gladys conduct seminars to teach the art of Gyotaku painting to children. Lancaster will also make a custom painting of your prize catch. Link -via Dump Trumpet

When fire broke out in the morning at Credidio's Farmingville house, Jackson jumped into the tub and put his nose in the drain. Firefighters Vince Egbert and Edgar Trejo pulled aside a shower curtain and found the dog "actually sucking air out of the drainpipe, which is an old-school thing that a fireman would do," Egbert said.
