via Yahoo. The quest for immortality has now been achieved… well… sort of. The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the earth’s only immortal animal. Bryan Nelson wrote about this jellyfish on the Mother Nature Network. Check out an excerpt below.
Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).
The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders, which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.
Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They’re now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters. “We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion,” says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.
Here’s a preview of a new record from Dr. Dre featuring Eminem off of his upcoming album, Detox. Check it out below.
Strobe lights + camera + exploding water balloons = awesome! By photographer Ryan Taylor. More photos after the break.
via eater. Fat Ho Burgers is a new restaurant in Waco, Texas that has (to no one’s surprise) caused quite a bit of controversy. Owner, Lakita Evans, is adamantly defending the name of her new restaurant, and suggests that it is similar to several other restaurants, e.g. Hooters. For some reason, this reminds me of other somewhat questionable names that I’ve seen in the past. For Eyes – An eyeglasses shop called “Four Eyes” – isn’t that an insult to people who wear glasses? Athlete’s Foot – a shoe store called “Athlete’s Foot” i.e. A fungal infection affecting the skin between the toes. It is a form of ringworm.
Anyways, apparently the restaurant has turned out to be pretty popular – there is normally a line heading out the door. What do you think of the name? Is it offensive? Check out the menu and some video below.
“Twisted” is a new single from Gorilla Zoe featuring Lil Jon. This song was produced by DJ Montay. Check out the music video below.
The New Boyz (“You’re A Jerk”) return with a new single off of their sophomore album, Too Cool To Care, which will be released on May 17th. The group goes pop with the song entitled “Backseat” and features Dev on the hook, with production by The Cataracs. Music video after the break.

Graffiti is often misunderstood, and it is difficult for a graffiti writer to explain what he feels about it. I have been asked by a book publisher to write few pages to explain to teenagers how to practice graffiti. After hours and hours I came to the conclusion there was nothing to teach about it except providing the tool to do it. The new generation needs to discover it by practising it instead of reading lessons. Rather than a long sterile speech debating on the good or bad vertues I created my own book to share my point of view through a conceptual message.

Similar to the Kindle, the paper phone uses an E-Ink display, and works by bending the phone in different positions to make calls, use apps, etc. I think this technology can prove useful in future versions of cellphones, tablets, newspapers, magazines, etc. It will be interesting to see how this will be integrated. Video after the break.
Created by research teams at Queen’s University in Canada and Arizona State University, the 9.5-centimeter (diagonal) screen is actually a lightweight flexible display. It’s said to feel similar to a bendable piece of plastic.
