Lots of people think different parts of the tongue are fine-tuned to detect different tastes. The tip of the tongue is where you get your cupcake on, the sides are where the salty taste really hits home, bitter's in the back, and in between is the sour zone. This "fact" was the prevailing notion for a very long time. It has persisted in spite of millions of kids in health class insisting that the wooden spoon just tastes like wooden spoon, no matter how they lick it. More recently, however, we've found out that the whole zones theory was pretty much bologna. Then there's the fifth basic taste that doesn't get a lot of PR, and that's umami. Even though umami was a familiar taste in Japan, the "fifth taste" idea didn't get much traction there, either.
No one at the time believed him, though, and it wasn't until the end of the 20th century that scientists decided to look into it. Invisible cars no longer a thing of the future. When driving, seeing less seems like the opposite of what you would want.
But researchers from Keio University aren’t increasing the size of your blind spot, they’re trying to make car interiors invisible to give drivers an unobstructed view of what’s behind the car. With the device in place, it would feel like the driver was in a glass car — with a transparent back — and would provide a better view even than video dashboards display. The technology is going to be showcased in a Prius at 2012 Digital Content Expo in Tokyo at the end of this month. You’ll have smaller brains, more wrinkles and fewer teeth. Almohada inspirada en avestruces permite dormir en cualquier lugar y momento. Why Are Rape Victims More—Not Less—Likely To Become Pregnant? Representative Todd Akin of Missouri made two mistakes when he said recently about pregnancy resulting from rape.... “From what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”
His first mistake was linguistic. The term “legitimate rape” is an oxymoron. “Legitimate rape” does not exist. His second mistake was believing the “doctors” who gave him the idea that the female body can “shut the whole thing down.” ( According to the L.

Batman and the Psychology of Trauma. Untitled. 6 Terrifying New Creatures Science Just Discovered. Nature is just one big arms race.
You evolve thicker skin, they evolve bigger teeth.

For instance, just recently scientists have discovered ... #6. Imagine you're riding your bicycle down the middle of an empty, wide-open street when suddenly your face is tangled in a spider web. Congratulations, you somehow have a Darwin's bark spider in your neighborhood. 10 Creepy Plants That Shouldn't Exist. We spend a lot of time here at Cracked pointing out horrors of nature that slither on the land and lurch through the sea.
But staying under the radar in nature's landscape of nightmares is the twisted carnival of things that grow out of the ground. Like ... Bleeding Tooth Fungus The bleeding tooth fungus looks kind of like a wad of chewing gum that leaks blood like a rejected prop from The Shining. They're also called the strawberries and cream, the red-juice tooth, and the devil's tooth. Oh, and they are listed as "inedible," which implies that someone attempted to eat one at some point. Chinese Black Batflowers There's a good reason that Batman uses bat imagery to strike terror into the hearts of Gotham's criminals, rather than, say, some kind of shrew. It is kept as an ornamental plant by gardeners who prefer to cultivate nightmares, and have the balls to live in the presence of a plant that looks like it crawled out of a Bosch painting and wants to plant its young in their head.
Learning an Alien's Language. From my perspective, there haven't been enough big sci-fi plots with polyglots in them, and why should there be?
In sci-fi worlds, you can invent translating fish that live in the ear canal, protocol droids that know 6 million languages, or pan-galactic English. But Sam Roberts' op-ed in the NYT, "What do you say to an alien? " Are We Ourselves? Let me start by admitting a persistent befuddlement in the face of many of life's presumably easily answered questions.
The one that has mystified me the longest is - why, if we're constantly replacing the cells in our bodies, do we retain scars? Get wrinkles as we age? Shrink and limp our ways to the grave?

Por más insólito que parezca, un nuevo estudio de la revista británica ‘Journal of Experimental Biology’ reveló que su origen no se debe a un capricho de la naturaleza, sino que obedece a una razón práctica. De acuerdo a lo comentado por RT, la profesora Susanne Akessson de la Universidad de Lund (Suecia) y su grupo de investigadores pudieron determinar que estos animales “habían evolucionado hasta lograr que su diseño fuera óptimo para generar la menor atracción posible en los mosquitos”.

My Hero Diogenes the Cynic. Diogenes of Sinope or Diogenes the Cynic (c. 412-323 BCE) was a contemporary of Socrates' pupil Plato, whom Plato described as ‘a Socrates gone mad'.
Like Socrates and, to a lesser extent, Plato, Diogenes favoured direct verbal interaction over the written account. When a man called Hegesias asked to be lent one of his writing tablets, he replied, ‘You are a simpleton, Hegesias; you do not choose painted figs, but real ones; and yet you pass over the true training and would apply yourself to written rules.' After being exiled from his native Sinope for having defaced its coinage, Diogenes moved to Athens, took up the life of a beggar, and made it his mission to metaphorically deface the coinage of custom and convention, which, he maintained, was the false coin of morality . He disdained the need for conventional shelter or any other such ‘dainties' and elected to live in a tub and survive on a diet of onions.
