    The race towards an early grave or grace?

    Graduate What is the Scientific Explanation for Spontaneous Human Combustion?

    I think its all bollocks, people smoking cigarettes etc burning their clothes. Statistics is the way forward, it all seems so unlikely when there is so many more rational explanations.

    Can a Wasp Resurrect After Freezing?

    I heard if you put a wasp quickly in a freezer then thaw it some time later, it comes bacl to life. I am guessing the wasp would on average live as long as it would if it had not been frozen?

    EMP generator using a spark gap

    Well here is a unusal favourites link I found in my browser. Expensive but you might find it interesting if you are going for a home made job. I think the easiest way to generate a large emp involves explosives. Whatever they are all probably illegal in built up areas (or any area if the pulse...

    Morse Code IC Timer for Intercoms

    Thanks, one of those PICAXE chips should do the job nicely. I can not have my pc constanly connected to the intercom and really need the electronics in the same plastic housing. I could either power the chip from the intercom itself or use a small battery. Should be fun.

    News Did I Vote for GWB for the Right Reasons?
