The Best iPad Apps
You've seen the commercials; Apps are what makes an iPad come to life. Here are the very best ones for work, play, creation, consumption and everything in between.
Poland's Crooked Forest
In a tiny corner of western Poland a forest of about 400 pine trees grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks - all bent northward. Surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees this collection of curved trees, or "Crooked Forest," is a mystery.
Why Do Fingers Wrinkle When They Get Wet?
We know you've asked yourself that question in the headline and common knowledge dictates that the reason your fingers look pruney when you're in water for too long is that the skin absorbs water.
Well, Mark Changizi, an evolutionary neurobiologist at 2AI Labs in Boise, Idaho, thinks he has a better theory. Nature reports on the study, which was published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Evolution:

Go And Find One Of These Right Now!
f'real.
We believe in the power of the milkshake; that inside each cup is enough pure, freshly-blended happiness to make the entire world smile. And simply put, that’s our mission: to help make the world a better place—one giant slurp at a time.
Is it far-fetched to think a frozen beverage can do so much? Not really. Think about it. Milkshakes make people smile. And when people smile they are happier. And when people are happier the people around them are happier. And, suddenly, spontaneously, irreversibly, a tidal wave of chilled joy rushes around the globe. We call this the Milkshake Revolution, a groundswell of swell, and we proudly lead the charge, f’real flag raised high.

Replacing The Dead Trees
The last two winters have been hard on the back yard. When it gets below zero and the wind is howling at 25 mph you have to be a real hardy tree to survive! Some have it others don't.
 |
| Didn't have it. |
 |
| Replacement. |
 |
| Dead. |
 |
| I asked for big... and I got it! |

Most Disgusting Food in the World: Surströmming
NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACHED
OR THOSE OFFENDED BY LANGUAGE!
Click on the title for more information on Surströmming
Hold on to your Morning Coffee
The No. 1 coaster in the world is in the good ol' US of A, and it's one hell of a white-knuckle ride. Not only is it the world's tallest roller coaster at 456 feet, it also has the biggest drop at 418 feet, and goes from 0 to 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds. We don't want to overstate things here, but the line to this ride smells like fear. They're selling last rites for $4.99. Alright, maybe we made that last one up, but point is, there is no better roller coaster in the world than Kingda Ka.
Theme Park: Six Flags Great Adventure
Location: Jackson, New Jersey
Height: 456 Ft
Top Speed: 128 mph
See a list of the top 50 Roller Coasters here!
