Fabric that repels stun guns.

Thrill seekers, however, shouldn't look for Thor Shield at New York Fabrics. G2 sells the material only under nondisclosure agreements to law enforcement agencies and the military. The idea behind the fabric is that it could prevent officers from being hurt by their own weapons.
Duh factor: Cutting calories leads to longer life.
Quote
People on the caloric restriction diets lost an average of 10% or more of their weight. The researchers also found that these subjects had reduced fasting levels of the hormone insulin, a trait associated with longevity in animal research. They also found that volunteers who restricted their caloric intake by 25% or achieved similar results by cutting calories and upping exercise had a reduced average core body temperature at the conclusion of the six month trial. Lower body temperatures are also associated with longevity.

But that amount of water is 10 to 20 times greater than that reported by other ground- and space-based observatories. The discrepancy underscores the difficulties scientists face in painting a coherent picture of the Deep Impact collision and its aftermath - a one-off event observed by dozens of observatories.
