#3127 Pom Wonderful

I'm eating a giant, grapefruit-sized pomegranate. It's a really good one too; very sweet. So many seeds...

Pomegranates are one of the coolest-looking fruits that exists. If you haven't seen one, it's pretty much the shape of an orange, with a red mango-like skin. The fun part is inside. Under the skin is a white pulpy mebrane, again, much like an orange, but thicker. Encased inside the membrane are hundreds of seeds that look like big translucent magenta kernels of corn. It looks very alien and sci-fi, and if you cut too deeply, it bleeds all over the place, as mine is doing now. So cool. My gerbils seem to enjoy it, too.

Cool.

It's so time for a remake of "The Legend Of Billie Jean".

Fair is fair!

Help me, Obi-Wan, You're my only hope!

Sci-fi World Exhibit #204674832: "holographic" projector

"The Heliodisplay projects full color streaming video into free space (i.e. air). It is plug-and-play compatible with most video sources (TV, DVD, computer, etc.). These non-holographic images can be fully interactive, allowing a hand or finger to select, navigate and manipulate — as if it were a virtual touch screen."

I saw video of this. It's amazing. It's not 3-D... yet, but you can grab and move the image in mid air. An important sci-fi device realized.....

"NEW ORLEANS -- Scientists say a pill may help people overcome their worst phobias.

In a small study released Monday, a drug already on the market for tuberculosis helped people who were terrified of heights get over that fear with only two therapy sessions instead of the usual seven or eight."

Sci-fi World Exhibit #204674834: instant fingernail color change

I can't find an article online about this, but i heard recently that they've invented a way to coat fingernails with a substance that will allow people to change the color of their fingernails instantly, as often as they want. Just like the woman in "Total Recall".....
