The Wired 40
Wired Online has just published it's Wired Index (now called Wired 40), ot the most innovative companies. Topping the list is the privately held Google. The love affair with Google is apparently seeing no end. You'll also find Nokia, IBM, Yahoo!, eBay, Amazon.com, Microsoft, and some non-tech firms like GlaxoSmithKline, FedEx, Wal-Mart and L-3.
Inner Cow
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
