Cell phone in man's chest pocket saves him from a bullet


In Covington, Louisiana a 68-year-old man says his cell phone saved his life. A stray 45-caliber bullet hit R.J. Richard's chest while he was mowing the lawn on Saturday. It hit him so hard that he thought it was a stone that came out from his tractor. He pulled out the cell phone and it fell apart. He figuired the bullet was most likely shot by a hunter from the forest next to his 5 acre property. He claims that god told him to put his cell phone in his chest pocket instead if his leg pocket and this event has strengthened his faith. 
I think this is scary but cool at the same time. What if a bullet randomly hit me? Would my cell phone save me?

'Smart' fabric glows in response to allergens




Scientists in Michigan State University are developing a "smart" fabric that glows when it detects allergens. It can also instantly tell where a soldier is bleeding. They created this cloth by dipping cotton fibers into a vat of water, a conductive polymer (fibers that conduct electricity), and carbon nanotubes (carbon sturctures that are used to strengthen polymer fibers). This is very good technology, but i dont think we should have it because then we would start becoming paranoid about how many germs and allergens there are in the world around us.
