Don’t Do Drugs

trippin on acidCheck out the full sized version of this pic on the left.  This psychedelic image moves with such fluidity that it might make you want to throw up lol.

Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба, literally “Emperor Bomb”) is the Western name for the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb of about 50 megatons was codenamed Ivan by its developers.

Cut Glass Using Water and Scissors!

Did you know you can cut glass under water… with scissors?!  This video from YouTube shows how it is done.  I also googled it a little bit to find out why this works and here is what i found:

According to Scientific American, water causes glass to crack more easily because when a water molecule enters the crack, a reaction occurs in which a silicon-oxygen bond at the crack and an oxygen-hydrogen bond in the water are cleaved, creating two hydroxyl groups attached to silicon. As a result, the length of the crack grows by the size of one bond rupture. The water reaction reduces the energy necessary to break the silicon-oxygen bonds, thus the crack grows faster.

And now for the video:
