This is a strange little project that hypnotized me for 5 minutes. One tiny hand, indeed.

One Tiny Hand is a project by Zach Vitale which presents picture of people you know, only slightly adulterated. This one of the Golden Girls kills me.

I’ve enjoyed this particular meme since I first came across it. And I’ve had the backstory wrong the whole time.

There is something witty to say about leveraging your weaknesses or using the gifts God gave you, but I am hypnotized by / terrified of those eyes.

The video is pretty impressive, but the things I find most fascinating was this: 

As they [the Japenese honey bees]  form a tight ball around the hornet, the ball increases in heat to 47 °C (117 °F) from their vibrating wings, forming a convection oven as the heat released by the bees’ bodies is spread over the hornets.

The Japanese honey bee will COOK it’s attacker to death. With their body heat and possibly friction.

This is either the happiest or most violently frustrated lizard ever.

So there’s this 17 year old that’s won $100,000 grant for her research in using nano-technology to help fight cancer. (Spoiler Alert: her solution not only delivers the medicine using nano-tech, but also improves MRI resolution)

Don’t worry .. last year she only won awards for different medical improvements.

My previous definition of “wicked smart” may have been a bit narrow.
