New Virus-Powered Batteries Could Unleash A Bacteriologic Apocalypse In 30+ Years!

Virus Battery

Since I’m not smoking anymore, I started looking for a cancer-free substitute for tobacco this morning and I stumbled upon a very interesting article about how a tobacco virus can extend the life of a battery by a factor of ten. This of course may sound like wonderful news for RC enthusiasts or for the compulsive cellphone addicts, but for me it sounds like a long-term death sentence for humanity. Let me ask you a question: Don’t we have enough infectious bugs already to create new, artificial ones and use them in every day products? Why don’t we just sprinkle smallpox or ebola on our spaghetti instead of Parmesan cheese?

The virus in question is the tobacco mosaic virus, which you can see in the photo above (courtesy of physorg.com), it originally grows on tobacco leaves and it is well known for devastating tobacco, tomatoes and other crops but some foolish scientists decided to give it a new home in the ever-growing battery industry.

Hit the break to learn how the virus is going to be used and how it may become some pretty scary shit in the future.

Paranoid DIY: Make Your Own Disinfectant and Natural Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer

Like many Paranoid Freaks out there, I am also a germophobe and I try to keep myself and my habitat as germ free as I possibly can. And don’t get me wrong, my bedroom still looks like a filthy pigstyle but you won’t find a single germ anywhere. I use industrial amounts of disinfectant. It makes your eyes sore if you are not used to it.
And nothing would have changed if it wasn’t because the latest news are filled with reports of deadly super-germs that might break loose at any moment, potential pandemics and plagues from the 14th century. Now I will need a whole lot more! So I thought: Why buy it if I can make it! Long story short, here are two useful DIY tutorials on how to make your own disinfectant and natural antibacterial hand sanitizer! You’ll thank me when you are not covered with pustules.

Hit the break for the recipes.

Death under the microscope!

Salmonella

You probably have seen how a person sick from salmonella look like, if not in person perhaps on TV or a magazine, but, do you ever wanted to see what does salmonella look like up close? Well, it’s your lucky day! I got a bucket of rotten chicken for you! There’s a picture of it above! Yes, that’s the real deal.
Now thanks to microscope-armed scientists you can see how actually look like deadly bacteria and viruses.

Scientists get closer to most deadly diseases than you’d ever want to. Here’s the only safe view of anthrax, salmonella, and more: through the scientist’s microscope.

So now you know how the killers will look like if there is a bacteriologic attack some time in the future. I don’t think this changes anything, but hey, at least now you know how they look like! ;)

there are a bunch more after the break in case you are not germophobe and also the link with a gallery of those microscopic bastards!. Link and pictures courtesy of Fox News.
