Sprint comes to the rescue with their Sprint Project Connect program. Jump to the FREE postage-paid mailing label and feel good about how green you are on Earth Day.

Mice Arena

"We want to enable pets to play games in a way very similar to the way human players' play. To play a computer game with your hamster would definitely make us think about where we have come with digital tradition now."

Combining Alcohol and Popular Energy Drink Reduces the 'Perception' of Impairment

Well, this explains a lot.

"Brazilian researchers have conducted the first controlled scientific study on the effects of combining alcohol with Red Bull energy drinks and found "a considerable disconnect between subjects' perceptions and objective measures of their abilities."
