Sub-Zero Garbage Can Keeps Your Trash Nice and Frosty

Organic garbage, like banana peels and coffee grounds, stink. Sitting in your garbage can all day at room temperature guarantees that your place will smell like a dump. Not if it’s frozen, however.

Blackened-Lungs Cigarette Lighter Really Rubs Your Face in It

Cigarette smokers understand the damage they’re doing to their bodies. That’s why “shocking” anti-smoking ads like these blackened lungs won’t do anything to stop them.

93-Year-Old Japanese Man Certified as Double A-Bomb Victim

You have some lousy luck if you’re near the site of an A-bomb strike. You have really, really bad luck if, three days later, you get hit with another nuke.
