DIY bulletproof backpack
Is this good? Bad? Certainly it's sad that there's been enough shootings in schools to make this product even viable, but I wonder how you'd make your kid feel if you bought one of these for them.

How to tie the world's fastest shoelace knot
It's hard not to admire the sheer dedication of Ian Fieegen, who had a dream in 1982 of creating the world's fastest tying symmetrical shoelace knot, and achieved it. From such an ignominious start has erupted the world's best shoelace site.
Ian's Shoelace Site
My favourite page is his history of the "Ian Knot" (which anyone who had a knot book as a kid, like me, knows is really a reef knot even though he never admits it):
Ian's Shoelace Site - History of the Ian Knot

Honey Bees On Cocaine Dance More, Changing Ideas About The Insect Brain
I think the real question that should be asked is why the hell there are scientists in the world giving bees cocaine. I struggle to see the scientific merit of getting bees high. I think what's more likely is that a bunch of uni students were at a party one night and were saying to each other "Hey, you know what would be really funny? If we could convince our uni that we needed them to get cocaine for us because we wanted to make bees get high!"
ScienceDaily (2008-12-25) -- In a study that challenges current ideas about the insect brain, researchers have found that honey bees on cocaine tend to exaggerate.
