I so always wanted the ability to see in the dark!
I wonder if this news is true and the boy does possesses 'night vision'...what scientific achievements it may lead to...!:rolleyes:
Like, as mentioned on dailymail site, the next thing we could get to see is humans with wings! (Just kidding! :-p :biggrin:)

Would like to know other members views on this topic..:smile:

We used to find out about these guys from tabloids like 'News of the World' when we were catching up on Bat Boy and the latest petroleum strikes on the Moon. Looks like the Daily Mail is slumming now.

'A' better watch hisself next time he goes fer Chinese: he might find a extry surprise in his fortune cookie.
 
Ever notice that most, if not all, zombie movies have them hulking around at night. Zombies have great night vision and will find you - you can run but you cannot hide. Dark Boy has jumped the queue of the next phase in human evolution. Coming to a theatre near you, Night Vision Bat Boy Zombies striking fear and terror in the hearts of men and woman.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
