"Scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a new cellular oncogene essential for the development of cancer. Oncogenes are genes that, when mutated or dysfunctional, lead normal cells to become cancerous. The investigators have named the gene POKEMON (for POK Erythroid Myeloid Ontogenic factor)."

A top Sony official has finally admitted that Sony's long-standing stance against MP3 support in their devices was, in fact, pretty boneheadded. Here's hoping for cool stuff from them in the future now that they've wised up.

MIL-C-44072C: MILITARY SPECIFICATION COOKIES, OATMEAL; AND BROWNIES; COCOLATE COVERED
No, I didn't type "chocolate" wrong in the link. That's in the spec. Twenty six pages explaining every chemical component of the cookies in question, and they can't spellcheck the title.
Normal Recipe:
"Finely chop nuts"
Military Recipe:
"A minimum of 90 percent, by weight, of the pieces shall pass through a 4/16-inch diameter round hole screen and not more than 2 percent, by weight, shall pass through a 2/16-inch diameter round hole screen."

How easy it is to steal a bike
The Neistat Brothers show how easy it is to steal a bike in their 5-minute short film. This is amazing - it seems totally obvious that they're stealing bikes (their own), but people just overlook them - or even help them out! Amazing.

Quake alters Earth
That doozy of an earthquake has affected Earth's rotation, decreased the length of day [by 2.68 microseconds], slightly changed the planet's shape, shifted the North Pole by [one inch]...[and] changed the Earth's rotation. So says NASA.
Interestingly, China's Three Gorges reservoir would also alter the Earth if it were filled with water.
