Invisible Vehicle

Invisible Vehicle

Everyone from Harry Potter to Frodo Baggins has already got an invisibility cloak.
But scientists have now figured out how to make an entire car disappear.
Using optical camouflage technology boffins at Mercedes Benz created the illusion that their new zero emissions F-Cell car is not even there at all. taking the principal that to see through something you need to see what's behind it, they covered the driver's side of the car in mats of LEDs, and mounted a digital SLR camera on the opposite side of the vehicle.

The camera shoots video on the passenger side of the car and the video is displayed in real time on the driver side of the automobile.
This ingenious approach, originally pioneered by scientists at the University of Tokyo, works on the same principles of the blue screen used by TV weather forecasters and Hollywood filmmakers.
The idea also mimics the iPad 2 Halloween costume that seems to displays a gaping hole in the human body.
The next conundrum-what to do with an invisible car ? Take it on a week long tour of Germany, obviously.

Stop holding those farts in. Here are 7 unexpected health benefits of passing gas

Stop holding those farts in. Here are 7 unexpected health benefits of passing gas If you’ve ever shamed yourself or have been shamed by someone else for passing wind, just tell them you’re being healthy. Farting isn’t the most glamorous way to improve or assess our health, but it is indicative of a healthy, well-functioning digestive system and balanced level of gut bacteria. According to  thefartfacts.com , 9% nitrogen 21% hydrogen 9% carbon dioxide 7% methane 4% oxygen 1% hydrogen sulfide (this is what makes it smell) Medical Daily  suggests people flatulate between five and 10 times a day, though thefartfacts.com  has that number at 14. Most of our farts occur while we sleep. Foods that are known to cause flatulence are high in carbohydrates like including beans, artichokes, dairy products, sweet potatoes, oats, nuts, soy, and wheat. You’d have to eat only refined sugars if you wanted to stop farting, and that isn’t healthy for anyone. Despit...
