CD Copying
From CNN.com: a student who posted a paper on how to defeat a CD copy protection mechanism (by just pressing the shift key when the CD tray is closing) is being sued by the software maker. Let's see how this works ... someone releases information on the weakness of a piece of software and they're being sued for it? This shouldn't last a second in court. What's disturing here is that the way the protection mechanism works is by loading a driver file from the music CD as soon as it's inserted into the drive. Hmm ... someone should sue the software maker for not disclosing to end users that they're loading software on their computer.
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 ]
