A relatively new website is coming to the rescue in looking at the real lethal does of caffeinated beverages. Turns out it would take 74.65 cabs of Monster Energy drink or 314.31 cans of Pepsi Cola to reach a lethal does of any of the active ingredients. So should you consume this many...or course not; this site does however, put the real ingredients into perspective. We're talking about Mg's worth of chemicals in a whole lot of sugar water.

It's worth a look, just punch in your weight and select a beverage!

Cheers to a new light on what we all assume is a great and deadly danger!

Lately there's been a stigma that all Hybrid cars need to be boring little family econo-sedans with no character and heavens-forbid a bit of fun to them... This is something that Belgium won't stand for!

Powered by a 210-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder, tied to a 136-hp electric motor and battery unit, the company claims a 6-second 0-60 time in electric mode or a 4-second time in hybrid is the goal.

So this isn't your average everyday hybrid, nor is it going to be available to everyone. At a starting price of 100 grand, it's really not meant to be competitive with the Prius, this is just a stigma changer.

Cheers to Imperia, this car should rock the boat...if we're lucky!

The world's more comprehensive 3D image of the HIV virus is released. The verdict: Looks Fuzzy! But you wouldn't want to snuggle with it...
"The winners of the 2010 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored jointly by the journal Science and the National Science Foundation, share spectacular photographs, graphics, illustrations and videos that engage viewers by conveying the complex substance of science through different art forms. This detailed 3-D model of the human immunodeficiency virus won first place in the illustration category."

Cheers to 3D actualizations of things we'll never see with the naked eye.

So this is just a quick reminder that it's that time of the week again and we need you to send in some original and rare lolcats to the forum!

You people should feel terrible!

So spare this Kitten another abusive weekend and send in pics to the Forum.

Cheers to you guys, because you make me lol... keep sending in cute pics. We'll make them LoL-worthy on our end!

You have to sort of wonder sometimes, how does this happen. I can understand when people argue for theology and they say it's just too coincidental, it couldn't have just happened. To them I say, look at the coincidences in things we know weren't intelligently designed to be so.Just this beautiful, complex Wonderfully unfathomable world?
How does it so fail to hold our attention
That we have to diminish it with the invention
Of cheap, man-made Myths and Monsters?
If you’re so into Shakespeare, Lend me your ear:
“To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw perfume on the violet… is just fucking silly”
Or something like that."

Protesters in Finland take honours this month for the greatest protest signs! If there's anything the internet had taught us, it's that it's a reflection of reality. Like any good art, it's not official until reality imitates it, itself.

Cheers to Finnish highschool students; epic protest!

So it seems following the protest in Egypt, which took to the world stage like a Broadway show, many other middle-eastern countries are taking to the streets. The people's minds are seeded with the notion of freedom and human rights, and there's no reversing that image. 
Is war in the middle east a thing of the past? Not by a long shot, but those who have been oppressed for decades are fighting back and it's not going to go unnoticed this time. Check out the BBC's interactive chart to explore the different regimes and the different protest groups from one country to the next.

Cheers to democratic action, the way our forefathers' fought for it. These countries may just be where the USA was in the Civil War, or where Canada was in the 1800s. We can only hope it goes so well.

So it's funny on it's own, but it more than that. Science has found that the genetic differences between men and women may actually cause for difference in perception. How does this work?  7 percent of the male population either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently from most people. This is most common form of color blindness, but it affects only 0.4 percent of women. Men, having the odd Y chromosome tossed in the mix, have a higher chance of problems related to this genetic fail. Women, who've got the extra XX sitting in reserve are more likely to have a back-up gene to spare their vision.
