A LITTLE GLASS HOME

Artist Robert DuGrenier makes hermit crab homes that let us, the curious humans, see exactly what’s going on with those cute little decapods even when they’re hiding in their homes.

The blown glass shells allow for a rare view of the crabs’ soft bodies, which are normally hidden inside their mobile homes. DuGrenier sells the glass shells, which come in clear and colored varieties, starting at $14.50.

ZERO GRAVITY WATER IS REALLY COOL

MOTHRA NEARS: MUTANT BUTTERFLIES IN Fukushima

In news that shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with old Japanese monster movies, mutant butterflies have been found to be breeding near the site of Japan's 2011 Fukushima power plant disaster.
In May 2011, researchers collected more than 100 pale grass blue butterflies in and around the Fukushima prefecture and found that 12% of them had abnormalities or mutations. When those butterflies mated, the rate of mutations in the offspring rose to 18%, according to the study, which added that some died before reaching adulthood. When the offspring mated with healthy butterflies that weren't affected by the nuclear crisis, the abnormality rate rose to 34%, indicating that the mutations were being passed on through genes to offspring at high rates even when one of the parent butterflies was healthy.

The scientists wanted to find out how things stood after a longer amount of time and again collected more than 200 butterflies last September. Twenty-eight percent of the butterflies showed abnormalities, but the rate of mutated offspring jumped to 52%, according to researchers. The study indicated that second-generation butterflies, the ones collected in September, likely saw higher numbers of mutations because they were exposed to the radiation either as larvae or earlier than adult butterflies first collected.
They are already pretty awkard without extra mutations I think.

WANNA SEE JAPAN'S FUTURE SKYLINE?ASK LEGO

This is a 1.8-million LEGO block build of a futuristic version of Japan's skyline. Over 5,000 children gathered at six different centers across the country to participate in the project, and all the buildings were brought to Tokyo and connected into a giant map of Japan.

ROBOT NOODLE IT'S YUMMY!
