Or
Elon Musk Digging a Tunnel Under Miami?! (And More TECH News)
Listen to this. A group of MIT researchers are claiming they've "taught" spinach plants to detect landmines and send an email when they find one. Asked what they're planning next, the scientists said they're teaching these email-savvy spinach plants how to reply-to-all.
Big news in the Amazon world: Jeff Bezos has stepped down as CEO. Apparently he plans to dedicate the rest of life to searching for his missing toupee that never got delivered.
Apple is taking criticism because the iPhone's "Limit Adult Websites" filter uses absurd rules, such as blocking all google search results for the word "asian". That's crazy! There are plenty of legitimate, non-pornographic reasons to google the single word "asian". And I will get back to you when I find one of those reasons.
In Miami, Elon Musk is planning to dig a two-mile tunnel under the city for $30 million. Apparently, the tunnel isn't to make room for a mass transit system, Elon just needed a place to store all his Dogecoin.
In Germany, scientists have discovered a molecular "switch" in sperm that could allow men to turn their fertility on and off. The Catholic Church has said they will cover the electric bills for all their parishioners who leave their switches on 24/7.
Finally, a new leak has revealed that a hacker compromised several US hospitals in 2018, resulting in colonoscopy results being posted on the dark web. I researched the hacker who did this, and also looked at one of those colonoscopy results, and I had the same reaction to both: what an asshole!
