I think it's clever that this little rover reported on by the BBC can pick up cigarette butts but what I REALLY find amazing is that it can pick up other science news. How does it DO that?

Back when the Boy Scouts were still an American tradition, way back when I was a kid, we scouts had huge events call Jamborees. This is where up to hundreds of troops from all over the State, or even from all over the country, would gather and set up camp for a few days to a week, to take part is a wide range of scouting events.
There were two grand traditions for new scouts. I experienced the first when told that our troop was in short supply of bacon, so I should go around and ask other troops if they have a bacon stretcher. This was used to stretch the bacon so that one piece could be made into two. Much to the surprise of my Scoutmaster, the first place I checked had a bacon stretcher, which I promptly took back to our camp. But everyone was acting weird about it. For some reason they were all snickering.
I don't think I realized that there is no such a thing as a bacon stretcher until the next day.
The other tradition to which I never did fall victim was the snipe hunt. Snipes are mysterious critters that can be seen in the trees at night if you flash your lights at them. We would send out the new Scouts to hunt for snipes in the forest at night.
