There can be no doubt that the discovery of DNA and the mapping of the genome are remarkable medical breakthroughs. With such information about how genetics works, we can trace the path of genetic diseases, and predict where they might occur. We can work on cures for these diseases and prevention. There are so many important medical uses of the genome that it has already led to significant advances by scientists working to enhance the fortunes of humanity. And then, there are other scientists who just seem to be having fun with it. Splicing genes just to see what happens and what kind of Frankenstein-esque animals and plants they can create.

This one involves crossing rubber band with an octopus. The team of researchers was attempting to create springs. A couple of strips each bearing equal length were glued together and stretched before each end was clipped with slim strings such that they could freely rotate around. The strips took an entirely new shape as the force stretching the strips died out.

The spikes deter predators from attacking young turtles, but they also act as a form of camouflage, disguising the turtle as leaf litter. The brown color also helps to mimic leaves

When you soak a raw egg into a vinegar over two days, the vinegar will dissolve the eggshell. Eggshell is mostly made up of calcuim carbonate and that is the reason it is hard. Vinegar contains acetic acid so when vinegar gets mixed with the egg, the acetic acid which is present in the vinegar dissolves the shell of the egg and the egg becomes elastic. The contents of the egg becomes soft and looks like jelly. If you repeat the same experiment with a boiled egg, the shell gets dissolved and the egg becomes elastic like a rubber ball.
