5 Over-the-Top Ways to Get Around While Going Green
We're living in an interesting time, where efficiency has become paramount for modern vehicles. Not only that, the ultra-efficient green vehicles that were once pipe dreams are actually becoming reality. But let's set aside the simple and the small and take a look at the big and the bold -- like a car that runs on coffee, or spaceships propelled by lasers.

Why don't mosquitoes die in the rain? They're too small
Mosquitoes thrive in rainy climates, even though a typical raindrop can weigh up to 50 times as much as the insect. Scientists have thus long pondered how mosquitoes can fly through a rainstorm without getting killed by such collisions, the impact of which is comparable to a human being hit by a bus. The short answer is that the mosquitoes are so light that they simply hitch a ride on the raindrop without any significant force being transferred to them.
