7 Man-Made Substances that Laugh in the Face of Physics
The universe is full of weird substances like liquid metal and whatever preservative keeps Larry King alive.

What the Hell is it Used For? Ferrofluids have a lot of pretty mundane uses, from lubricating and protecting hard drives to providing heat conduction in speakers, but their primary use is in looking cool. #6. #5.
