Data Overload
If RFID adoption goes like the software vendors, hardware manufacturers and not to mention, the consultants, wish, then in a few years, it is expected that there will be billions of RFID chips being read by hundreds of millions of readers. Network traffic will be dominated by RFID tags screaming, "I'm here!" Are we ready for this? Read the InformationWeek article for the answer.
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 ]
