Cape Town Ocean Foam – An Extremely Rare Phenomenon:

Cape Town Ocean Foam – An Extremely Rare Phenomenon

If you take a look at this picture, you’ll probably think it’s an amazing picture of a frozen seashore, but have a closer look… you’ll notice that what appears to be ice, is actually foam.
The inhabitants of Cape Town, South Africa were given a chance to witness an extremely rare phenomenon that turns the ocean into one big cup of cappuccino.
This odd occurrence is also known as “sea foam” or even “beach foam” and it happens due to the crunching of the water with organic matter impurities, such as plankton, dead fish, dead plants and other such elements floating at the surface of the water.
The powerful currents cause the water to form tiny bubbles which have the tendency to “join forces” and cause this rare event.

Scientist have declared that if the speed of the wind is more than six meters per second, then the energy transferred from the wind to the water is proportionally higher, and a force known as the supperficial tension of the water is not enough to hold the molecules on the surface together.
The water breaks up into small drops which adhere together due to surface tension which causes them to appear as white foam.

Have a look below at some really amazing pictures of the ocean foam phenomenon.

Cat-eyed Chinese Boy With Night Vision Superpower:

Cat-eyed Chinese Boy With Night Vision Superpower

Night vision! What an awesome superpower. Almost all of us must have wished for such an amazing power when we were kids, but we eventually grew out of it and realized that only superheroes have nigh vision… and of course cats. Well, cats are no longer the only beings in “town” who can see in the dark.
A young Chinese boy named Nong Youhui was born with blue eyes (a rare color for the Chinese people), but that’s not the strangest thing about him. Nong is able to see in the dark, just like cats do. Also, just like a Siamese cat, his eyes flash neon green when they’re illuminated in the dark.

Rumors and speculations have it that the child is either The Starchild, or a human with hybrid alien DNA…pretty spooky, wouldn’t you agree?

His weird eyes enable the boy to be able to read and write down the answers to some questions, in a pitch black room. The scientists are now interested to find out if his DNA is has indeed mutated genes, and if not, how is it possible for him to have a special layer of cells in his eyes, called the tapetum lucidum, which exists only at cats and other nocturnal animals.

Below you can view some more pictures of the strange boy, and also a video of him and his mysterious super power.

Nissan Lends Amazing “Self-Healing” Paint To iPhone Cases:

Nissan Lends Amazing “Self-Healing” Paint To iPhone Cases

Have you ever resented the fact that sometimes you’re an incurable butterfingers?
This can be especially annoying when you drop your brand new, state-of-the-art iPhone, right? And in that moment when you see the phone dropping to the floor, and you know there’s nothing you can do to stop it, don’t you just with you either had superpowers and you could freeze time, or better yet, don’t you wish they just made the phones more resistant to scratches and such “injuries”?

Well the answer to your prayers has now arrived in the form of a special, amazing self-healing paint.
Nissan, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, have managed to develop a type of paint that expands when scratched, and in just 30 minutes after the scratch was made, it will be completely gone, due to the fact that the paint filled it in. For more severe “injuries”, the process may take longer, but eventually, the results are amazing!

The revolutionary paint was invented in 2005, and it has been forgotten by the general masses immediately after it was announced, despite the fact that it’s used for the Nissan Murano, 370Z and X-Trail models.
Luckily for us, Nissan has decided to create a new case for smartphones, using the amazing paint, which will allow your phone to self heal in just under an hour from the drop. Pretty awesome, wouldn’t you agree?

So far, Nissan is keeping its magic paint on in testing for the time being, licensing the material to Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo. Luckily, the Leaf-maker is also said to be considering a commercial launch scheduled for later this year, so until the new wondrous casing is out, make sure you get a better grasp of your phone.

Have a look below at a crash test comparing the results of different smartphones. I don’t know if the magic paint will be able to heal the broken screen on the iphone, but hey… if you bought it, try to take better care of it…

Chun Chun is a real bundle of joy, a 15.5-pound bundle mind you! Not only did this newborn baby boy make his parents very proud, but he also made an entire nation proud, and not just any country, but China, the country with the most inhabitants.

This gigantic baby was born in the Province of Henan, more exactly, in city of Xinxiang. Despite the baby’s immensity, the caesarean section which was performed to deliver him took a mere 20 minutes, and both the mom and the huge newborn are healthy and well.

Between 2008 and 2010 another three babies were born weighting 15 pounds exactly, but Chun is now the heaviest baby ever born there due to the fact that he had 15.5 pounds.

The baby’s mom is 29 year-old Wang Yujuan and she’s not at her first pregnancy, she also gave birth to a perfectly normal baby girl who is now six years old. The proud mother declared that: “I clearly felt that my body was more clumsy than when I had been pregnant with my daughter. My belly was bigger than it was then. I guessed the baby would be between ten and 11 pounds. I never expected to hear that he weighs 15.5 pounds.”

The head of the Obsetries department declared that “little” Chun Chun is twice as big as any other newborn, and that they’re very happy they were honored to bring the baby boy in to the world.
