World's smallest lunch!

This story caught my, and made me hungry for Ramen too!  Japanese scientists say they have used cutting-edge technology to create a noodle bowl so small it can be seen only through a microscope.  Mechanical engineering professor Masayuki Nakao said Thursday that he and his students at the University of Tokyo used a carbon-based material to produce a noodle bowl with a diameter 1/25,000 of an inch in a project aimed at developing nanotube-processing technology.  The Japanese-style ramen bowl was carved out of microscopic nanotubes, Nakao said.  Okay, I guess it’s cool, but it won’t help with your hunger and you can’t even see it without a microscope, but it is a scientific advancement. 

Well, it’s not a drive by, but it is a crime. 

A New Zealand man has been accused of assault with prickly weapon — a hedgehog!  He’s been fined by a court and ordered to pay most of his fine to his teenage victim.  Whakatane District Court was told Thursday that William Singalargh picked up the hedgehog and threw it several yards to hit a 15-year-old boy in the North Island east coast town of Whakatane on Feb. 9.  Police told the court the creature had hit the victim in the leg, causing a large, red welt and several puncture marks. The teen did not need medical treatment.  Okay, but what about the hedgehog?

That's just weird!
