Sorry about the scantily clad woman, but this is incredibly beautiful (and decent, at least in my area of the world)

Jellyfish force nuclear plant to shutdown
High volumes of jellyfish forced the Torness nuclear plant in Scotland to shutdown for two days after swimming into its seawater filters. I say 90% water 1 – Greenpeace 0 !! :-P See video here on BBC News Scotland.

Adlington suffers from OCD, can’t stand odd numbers
I think that I have found a kink in Rebecca Arlington’s armor. Attack with for instance three laps to go, and she will have to wait a lap before starting her pursuit ;-)
The 22-year-old swimmer is only comfortable with even numbers. She said: “It’s odd numbers in particular. I can only set my alarm on two, four or six. I can’t even set it on a five or seven.
“Otherwise, I think the worst is going to happen.” Perhaps it’s just as well she swims the 400 and 800 metre races, then, and has two gold medals.Read more here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/health/health/3667950/Why-Facebook-can-give-you-OCD.html#ixzz1Qn9PK7zr

Behold, the Seabreacher dolpin-like submarine
Outfitted with a 1500cc engine, a watertight cockpit and six dolphin-like fins, the Innespace Seabreacher redefines personal watercraft. The 17-foot vessel can reach 50 mph on flat water, cruise beneath the surface, and launch 18 feet in the air. It’s also got and iPod-compatible sound system and a digital periscope. Looks a bit tail-heavy, but also very, very fun. Via popsci.com.
