Kryptonite is real...sort of

A mining group in Serbia discovered a mineral that was unusual and sent it to the British Natural History Museum. Where they discovered that it was remarkably similar to the fictional description of Kryptonite from Superman Returns. The mineral is crystalline, white and lacks fluorine. It will officially be named Jadarite after the location which it was discovered. Next they're going to tell me that people can fly...oh yeah they already exist, they're called Chinese martial arts stunt doubles.

Machine aged wine
Posted by lj on December 18, 2006 at 11:59 AM
I'm not a wine drinker, but this certainly made me raise an eyebrow. A Japanese company (Innovative Design and Technology Inc) has invented a machine that uses electrolysis to rearrange the molecules in wine to give it a more aged taste. The "machine is a two-chambered device roughly the size of a stereo. Wine passes through one and tap water passes through the other; a membrane the company has patented separates the two. Platinum electrodes provide the juice, driving negative ions -- the cause of acidity -- from the wine into the water." (source) This process apparently breaks up the water molecules so that they mix more freely with the alcohol, a process that takes place naturally while aging in a barrel. Obviously there has been a lot of skepticism with the traditionalist, but the company did manage to talk a couple of wineries in California and Washington into trying it out. What I found most interesting about the whole thing is this video ad that explains (sort of) the machine/process.
