[Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] And due to the way it is made, even if you didn't want to eat the bottle, throwing it away still wouldn't have a negative effect on the environment. The Ooho! is designed to be peeled like a fruit, with an outer layer keeping the inside clean. Plus the seaweed-based design is even cheaper to create than a plastic bottle. |

 Vodka saves British cat after brake fluid poisoning ...  Veterinarians in London said a cat that accidentally poisoned herself with brake fluid was saved by an unusual antidote: vodka. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] The Blue Cross animal hospital in London said 7-year-old cat Princess was brought in by her owner, Teresa Correira Maria, after the feline was found covered in spilled brake fluid in a garden shed.

These photos aren’t censored, that’s just an object painted with the world’s Blackest Black ... People are freaking out over a series of photos of people holding something censored by what looks like a photoshopped black circle. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Only that’s really just an object painted with Vantablack, the world’s blackest black. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Developed by UK-based Surrey NanoSystems three years ago, Vantablack has been fascinating both scientists and artists ever since. This amazing pigment is composed of a series of microscopic vertical tubes that deflect light between them, essentially trapping it. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Vantablack apparently absorbs 99.96 percent of light that hits it, making any three-dimensional object coated with it look like a black two-dimensional flat surface. So the object in these photos could literally be anything and you could never tell unless looking it from an angle that reveals its texture and depth. |
