Fun Drinking Games - Circle of Death
This game is played similar to many ring games but i find this to be a fun game with hilarious effects after a couple of drinks have gone down the hatch. Also make sure you play with a standard 52 card deck of playing cards. 5 = Thumb Power: At any time player who drew card may put thumb on table, last person to do so drinks (player can do this at any time - this card stays in effect until someone else draws a 5 then the player who had the 5 originally no longer retains thumb power)Scientists trying to create artificial life generally work under the assumption that life must be carbon-based, but what if a living thing could be made from another element? One British researcher may have proven that theory, potentially rewriting the book of life. Lee Cronin of the University of Glasgow has created lifelike cells from metal — a feat few believed feasible. The discovery opens the door to the possibility that there may be life forms in the universe not based on carbon, reports New Scientist . The high-functioning "cells" that Cronin has built are constructed from large polyoxometalates derived from a range of metal atoms, like tungsten. He gets them to assemble in bubbly spheres by mixing them in a specialized saline solution, and calls the resultant cell-like structures "inorganic chemical cells," or iCHELLs.
