Answer 1

I have a few things that might be interesting...brb.
The interesting bottle design of Coke was fashioned after a woman's dress.
Coke invented the Santa Clause we know.
The Coke bottle helped with the design of the Avro Arrow, (A Canadian jet, that even by today's standards would have been a great plane... Got discontinued).
Was originally an alcoholic drink, that was supposed to help cure a drug addiction of, (I believe), morphine.

Right now most robots are focused in one field for the most part, (lifting things we couldn't, prosessing information like Big Blue, there is even a robot that can talk using air pumps and synthetic vocal cords. The list is extensive...). But that is starting to change...
For humanoid styles, there are two options for mobility.
1)Wheels, which have a better battery life, but lack in mobility.
2)Legs, which have better mobility, but the battery life is very short.
Scientist are working on a way for robots to walk, and cut down on the batteries using "elastic refleces", but are now faced with a stability problem... never the less they are fine tuning the problems, and once humaniod robots become "mainstream", there will be two options you should be able to go with...
1) The robot learns everything from the ground up. Down side, it takes trial and error, but will "learn" how you like it done.
2) You would be able to buy programs, so it could do preset things. Down side is that would be the way it is done, unless you pay for specialized programs. The good thing is, it gets it right the first time.

Scientists have studied electrons, and there have been curious findings.
When they shot electrons through a slit, in a plate of metal, the electrons came out the other side in a pattern the same as the slit.
When they added more slits, the electrons acted more like waves of water, That is that there was a pattern from the electrons as if the electrons turned into a fluid.
They then hooked up a piece of machinery to monitor the electrons as they passed though the slits, only to find that the electrons went back to forming patterns that were the same as the slits in the metal.
They cannot describe it any better than the electrons sometimes being in one spot, other times in mulitple spots, and even in some cases nowhere at all.
To better understand, chech out the DVD, What The Bleep Do We Know, Down The Rabbit Hole Edition.

If you were to wear a pair of glasses that inverted your sight. Your Brain would rewire itself to see normally again. After having this happen, if you were to take the glasses off, you would be seeing things upside down through your natural eyes, even though you were right side up.
I hope this has helped with your boredom...

Answer 2

How about surreal?

We had a home invasion about a week ago (I work for the police department) and when the officers got there, the robbers were still in the house so they were easily taken into custody.

A few minutes later we get a call from the hospital saying there's someone in the emergency room who said she was just attacked and robbed. When the officers arrived there, they found out it was the homeowner from the house that was just broken into. She had apparently fled on foot to the emergency room (not a bad hike either).

As the investigation went on, it was found out that the would be robbers were disguised as police officers trying to break in. That, in and of itself is bad enough. But then they found out the the homeowner was running a meth lab out of her house and found several pounds of drugs in various stages of packaging inside.

Soo... Pretty much everybody got arrested that night.

The clincher: The homeowner (meth-lab operator) was the one who called 911.

As I stepped off the train from Penn Station to go to work a Neutrino went through my body. This is hardly a unique event. Except one of them went through the exact center of a bagel someone one floor above me was eating. I thought this was fitting. Because right next to the station is Madison Square Garden which is home to the Knicks.

Answer 4

I've received a exceptional aspect within the wintry weather competition at my church that I am relatively excited approximately! I'm going to hang around with a few very well peers this night and I'm watching ahead to that! I've received plenty of excellent solutions lately, which makes me consider superb. I like serving to humans. I misplaced 3 kilos. I rescued a fuzzy caterpillar the day gone by. Does that aid? This is the one blank non-offensive funny story I understand: Three ropes stroll to the entrance of a bar. There is a signal that says "No ropes allowed". The first rope says that you simply ought to exhibit them who is the boss and he storms within and needs a drink. The bartender says "Sorry we do not serve ropes right here" and kicks the rope out. The moment rope says that you'll be able to capture extra flies with honey than vinegar and walks with courtesy into the bar and asks effectively for a drink. The bartender says "Like I informed your buddy, we do not serve ropes!" and kicks the rope out. The 3rd rope ties himself up and rips aside his ends and is going into the bar. The bartender sees him and says "Say! Aren't you a ROPE?" The rope says "Nope, I'm a Frayed Knot".
