Japanese Want To Launch Origami Space Shuttle
Japanese scientists believe origami airplanes could make it back to Earth without burning up. A prototype shuttle built from folded paper and coated to withstand stress was able to survive durability tests in wind tunnels.
If this all sounds nutty to you, consider this is from a country that has a culture of alien creatures sodomizing school girls, Mount Doom sized buildings, and food delicacies that guarantee a 99.9% chance of death if prepared incorrectly. So why are you surprised? I'm not. Hell, I'm sitting here wondering why the entire Japanese airforce isn't made of origami planes.

Better Than Your Weatherman
Science is humorous. We spend so much money and time inventing machines to do things nature already figured out millions of years ago. Take a shark for instance. Researchers at Aberdeen University concluded they're much better and forecasting weather. Their super sensory organs pick up everything from temperature shifts to changes in air pressure.
So maybe sometime in the feature, bimbo-like weather ladies (sorry I call them like I see 'em) will be replaced by more competent sharks.
