So this week I've read articles about:

Homing bullets
http://gammasquad.uproxx.com/2012/02/the-homing-bullet-has-finally-been-invented

A man with a machine in place of his heart that means he has no heartbeat or pulse any more
http://designtaxi.com/news/351464/First-Heartless-Man-You-Don-t-Really-Need-A-He art-Or-A-Pulse/

And human skin blended with spider silk to make it almost bulletproof

I think I love the 21st century.

Yesterday I read about a new fungus that feeds on plastic. It is believed that it will eventually save us from the plastic pollution which is killing our planet. In the same article a toadstool was mentioned which feeds on - wait for it - soiled baby diapers. Apparently the thing tastes ok after it has done away with a urine-soaked specimen.

I'm not making this up.
