Yale University researchers determine that electricity-generating bacteria Geobacter sulfurreducens use a single unique molecule which helps them produce a natural snorkel made of conductive filaments allowing them to breathe in oxygen-deprived environments and exhale electrons. Sounds promising until you realize a bacteria-powered Tesla could be stopped dead in its track by a puddle of hand sanitizer.

Photos of what appeared to be a large crashed UFO in a forest near the Polish towns of Ruda Zajączkowska and Gnieździsk had UFO hunters comparing theories until it was determined to be “part of a concrete truck in which the concrete mix rotates during construction works.” Unless ETs are building their own colonies on Earth, that should explain it.

A team of applied mathematicians from New York University demonstrated how the Stone Forest in China’s Yunnan Province is the result of solids dissolving into liquids in the presence of gravity by simulating the concept with granulated table sugar, corn syrup, and water to make a stone forest of rock candy. Well, that’s what they told their dentists to explain all of the new cavities.

NASA has developed a new way to land on the Moon called Safe and Precise Landing Integrated Capabilities Evolution (SPLICE) that eliminates the need for a human pilot and can safely drop a lander in a space half the size of a football field. “Hold my beer and watch this,” said Buzz Aldrin.

Identical twin sisters who married identical twin brothers are both pregnant and their doctor says there are only two sets of DNA, not four, which means that the sisters’ babies are biologically going to be siblings. In this family, “Mom always liked you best” arguments may turn ugly.
