Bemused

I've just discovered a new site for news/research that I never knew I wanted to know about. The New Scientist (Online News) is filled to the brim with new research to the questions that I never realized I needed the answer to. Such as:

1. How can my cellphone tell me who my friends are? → Answer
2. What does sex during an MRI look like? → Answer (video)
3. Where does white skin come from? → Answer
4. Why do geeks make for more attractive mates? → Answer
5. How can the three little pigs help to identify time of death? → Answer

I ♥love♥ that researchers are finding new and interesting ways of sharing and exchanging these ideas so that they become more appealing to the everyday person. Personally I enjoy reading about new ventures in science and research (what can I say I'm a geek at heart) but it doesn't really seem like the type of thing that would draw in the young-ever-connected-tech-savvy masses especially in this age of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Well I know how I'll be spending my next few lunch hours....
