This is absolutely fantastic. The Japanese, the craftiest of all scientist, have created a robot with the specific purpose of identifying wines. A mechanical sommelier. Researchers at NEC Systems Technologies and Mie University unveiled this adorable wonder two months ago,…

Have I mentioned before how much I love potatoes? For many years I was an addict, barely able to prepare a meal without them. I'm a mashed potato expert, but never tell my guests that they're eating equal parts potato,…

Have you heard the latest cautionary tale? Apparently, you should never pack a carry-on bag with bacon. It seems that bacon has "a similar molecular density to certain types of explosives." One man learned this the hard way at the…
