The great New York City soda ban has finally happened. The sale of sodas and sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces is now prohibited across all five boroughs.

Over the past few weeks, the Bloomberg Administration and the soda lobby have mounted a furious campaign war over the legislation. In retaliation, Mountain Dew and the New York Art Department

teamed up to make a statement all over the city:

The fungus then kills the ant, and fruiting bodies erupt from the ant's head and spread more spores. Because of this, scientists thought that the forest floor must be festooned with spores of these fungi, making it very dangerous for the ants. Not so, Hughes discovered. Combining new data from Brazilian zombie-ant graveyards with from previous studies of Thai graveyards, the scientists realized that an as yet unnamed fungus keeps the zombie-ant fungus in check. "The vast majority [of zombie-ant spores] have been taken out of the game" by the other fungus, Hughes said.

To hear David Hughes tell it, rain forest floors are littered with corpses of fungus-infected "zombie ants." This made the entomologist wonder: How do the lucky ants escape zombification? The answer, his team found, is that the ants have an unwitting ally: a fungus that "castrates" the zombie-ant fungus. Ant zombification begins when a fungus shoots spores onto an insect. The parasitic fungus gradually takes over the ant's brain and directs the insect to a cool, moist location.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to hit theaters on December 14th. Some audience members at advance screenings are reporting nausea, migraine headaches, and general queasiness after watching it.

The film was shot at 48 frames per second, twice the normal rate, to achieve an unprecedented feeling of reality. But that can backfire.

This faster camera speed "requires the eye to sweep up and down faster than usual in close-ups to absorb unparalleled detail on a big screen," causing a significant amount of cognitive and eye strain.

This technique "works for the big snowy mountains, but in close-ups the picture strobes," said one moviegoer. "I left loving the movie but feeling sick." Another audience member was more blunt: "My eyes cannot take everything in, it's dizzying," he said. "Now I have a migraine."

If you're uncertain of the science here, it's really straightforward. Bananas, like many fruits, release ethylene gas naturally, which controls enzymatic browning and ripening of not just itself, but other fruits nearby.

If you want your bananas to last as long as possible, the real key is to separate them and then wrap each individual stem with plastic wrap.

Much of that off-gassing takes place at the stem—or the crown—of the banana. By wrapping the crown of a bunch, you slow down the ripening process a bit.

Ear pulling is a traditional Inuit game in which competitors sit with their legs in front of their bodies and intertwined, facing each other. Competitor's left and right ears, respectively, are

linked to their rival's via a two-foot-long loop of waxed string. From there, the game is more or less self explanatory: the two competitors pull. The idea is to endure as much pain as possible. The winner is the first man or woman to dislodge the string from the ear of their competition,

FlightCar's business model would allow people who leave their cars at airport parking lots to rent them out for a few days: Owners can post details of the airport they will be departing from, how long their car will be available, details of the vehicle and how much they want to charge for rental. Those flying into the airport at the same time can then avoid more expensive rental companies by borrowing a car that would otherwise have sat in the parking lot for the duration of the owner’s break.
