Leopard Seal Forcibly Feeds Photographer Penguins

Firstly, I’ll start out by saying “hahahaha”. A photographer for National Geographic went to Antarctica to take pictures of one of the top predators there — the Leopard Seal. He went in the water where at the time, the Leopard Seal had a penguin in its mouth. The seal let go of the penguin, then put the camera in its mouth and let go. It then proceeded to try to feed the photographer, thinking he was another predator of a lower life form. At first he gave him full penguins, then got disgusted as the photographer kept letting them go and not eating them…So he then gave him weak penguins…and then dead penguins…and then partially eaten penguins in an attempt to show him how to eat them. This went on for 4 days straight (not that the person was in the water for 4 days straight of course, but he just kept coming back). Here’s the interview about the situation with the photographer:

I found this to be actually a very, very cool card trick. Basically, the guy is telling a story using cards and announces each one before it shows. Watch it to see what I mean. Enjoy!
Gaming Vest Makes First Person Shooters … Hurt!
Last Updated on Wednesday, 31 March 2010 10:51 Written by DarkKnightH20 Thursday, 1 April 2010 10:00
A gaming vest is being created at the University of Pennsylvania that brings a whole new level of reality to gaming. In this case, the vest allows you to feel what’s going 
on in the game. For instance, if you get shot while playing a First Person Shooter (FPS) game, then the vest will make sure you feel it. This remains the same if you are stabbed, kicked, and so forth.
Vibrations are used to help simulate the feeling of being hit, having four solenoid actuators in the chest and shoulders, and two in the back. The pain is comparable to being shot by a paintball gun, but doesn’t hurt as much.
I must say, this sounds really cool and it even has combat training uses. If I had one of these on when playing a first person shooter, I would probably feel beaten to death since I’m so terrible at those games. In gives you motivation to not get hit though, unless you like the feeling it gives off…!

T-Shirt That Tells You When You Have New E-Mail

Though it isn’t the coolest looking thing in the world, but a shirt was created that tells you how much new E-Mail you have. It works via a Bluetooth dongle, a microcontroller, LEDs, conductive thread, and a phone using Android OS. It is very easy to make and I’m sure it can be styled to look cool…though in the end you’re still wearing a shirt that tells you how much email you have 😉
