POPSNest of Nails Believe It!! I belong to the Cornell University's Ornithological Labs Department for the preservation of Urban Birds (that's a mouthful). Anyway we hold several lab experiments annually, and the last one was called the "Funky Nests" contest. Over 10,000 entries were received from all over the globe, but this wasn't one of them, although, it should have been. You gotta love those crazy Russian Pigeons man!

POPSThere is Now a Scientific Way to Measure Smelly Farts "The contraption could even have use outside of fraternity houses, Clain says, as a biosensor for harmful hydrogen-sulfide-producing bacteria in hospitals. Or dentists could use it to measure oral malodor. They’ve also received some interest from doctors with four-legged patients. “You can test the health of livestock through the quality of their farts,” Salas says. “Smell and sound can tell you a lot about their bowel movements.” When it came time to present the invention in class, though, Clain and Salas had to test their detector by making raspberry sounds and breathing on it—human exhalations contain enough hydrogen sulfide to trigger the sensor. “It’s hard to fart something really smelly on command,” Clain laments. “Besides, it provided a nicer atmosphere for those around us.” Still, their professor saw fit to award the project a well-deserved A."

Tomato fruit will show firm, brown spots.

POPSDoes Having Daughters Make You More Liberal? He theorized that having daughters made men “gradually shift their political stance and become more sympathetic to the ‘female’ desire for a… larger amount for the public good. They become more left-wing. Similarly, a mother with sons becomes sympathetic to the ‘male’ case for lower taxes and a smaller supply of public goods.”

POPSEthanol's Thirst Is Growing "This is one more nail in the coffin for ethanol," says David Pimentel of Cornell University, in Ithaca, NY, whose own studies have shown that ethanol requires more energy to produce than it releases when burned, and that the fertilizer used to grow corn for ethanol has contributed significantly to dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico (areas of the ocean with low oxygen content due to increases in chemicals in the water).

POPSDo We Need a New Internet Right now, I can't see how creating a new internet would provide any more security. Creating a new internet will open the door for charging to gain access to it and even then hackers will find ways to get to our information. So, why bother?
