There are some amazing scientific experiments that happen everyday that you never hear about, I’m not sure if this is one of them but it’s an interesting idea.
Scientists are thinking about capturing an asteroid out of space and dragging it into the orbit of the moon, giving the moon a moon. Don’t worry though, the asteroid is only going to be about 20 feet in size. The guys from NASA say this:
There have been some amazing technological advances this year that you may or may not have heard about in the news. Did you know that 3 states have already legalized driveless cars? How about that they can treat burn victims with spray-on skin? The next 5 years are going to be AMAZING. Check out these 27 insane accomplishments of 2012!
I actually bumped into a couple articles today with interesting facts about us guys and decided to clump them together in one. First, after a massive new global study, scientists have officially declared that women are LAZIER than men. 34% of women worldwide are “Inactive”, which means they do less than 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. 28% of men are “inactive”. In the U.S., overall, 40.5% of adults are inactive, including 33.5% of men and 47.4% of women. Sooo HA! Men are not as lazy as you ladies think we are..well I am but the majority aren’t.
Second, we finally have a logical excuse for wanting to go to sleep right after we are done doing the DEED. It’s not our fault, it’s science once again to save our butts. A team of neuroscientists in France have actually found that after a man’s climax, the brain shuts down its area for sexual desire and FLOODS with chemicals. One of those is serotonin, which makes him want to go to sleep. Women’s brains don’t do that.
Well if that isn’t an oxymoron then I have no idea what would be. A bunch of science geeks got together to figure out the formula for being “cool.” Nothing cooler than that right? Thankfully these scientists have the spare time on their hands “Why are we trying to cure stuff? Let’s find out why Skylar was the most popular kid in my high school, now THAT’S Science!” So basically what they did was follow me around for a month so they could see how cool people live. Then they put together the top 11 qualities that make me so awesome and you can check them out after the jump!

Just when I thought my brain was completely numb from all the Kardashians in the news I accidentally learn something. It’s cool though! There are 6 parts of your body that are WAY younger that you are. Now I don’t feel so old, well at least by body doens’t think of itself as old anymore. I still creak and pop when I get out of bed. What’s sad is that I’m not even 30 yet! Oh well moving on. Have you ever heard that ALL the cells in your body regenerate every 7 years? Well thats not true. However, there are some parts that do “replace” themselves constantly. Check out the things that are pretty much brand new on your body after the jump!

Well, it would be the oldest disease still alive if it was considered one. Scientists may have actually (technically) found a cure for racism. Of Course, like every other “Discovery” in science for the last 50+ years, this was a complete accident. A study in England found that people who took a heart disease drug called propranolol scored significantly LESS RACIST on a test than people who didn’t. The theory is that racism is rooted in fear and anxiety. Propranolol calms people down, so by reducing people’s fear, it also reduces their racism.
