Fine, maybe not 'guaranteed,' but your chances of getting bitten by a mosquito carrying malaria skyrockets if you have stanky-ass feet!

WASH YOUR SOCKS! Science says so! LOLz!

Mosquitoes infected with the malaria parasite are significantly more attracted to

Do you smoke? We would hope not, but if you do, the switch the e-cigarettes is seen by some to be healthier… plus, if you get way into it, you can call yourself a "Vaper"! LOLz!

The Vaper subculture isn't just for those who switch, instead it's for those who are actually outspoken about the switch — and the fact that they have NO intentions of quitting. They're the same people who you'll find yelling from the rooftops that they believe their their addiction can save the lives of millions because the vapors they inhale, along with nicotine, are far safer than the tar and chemicals in tobacco cigarettes.

Why yes, this hybrid car DOES have wings!

The pic (above) is the next-gen TF-X, and it will be a street legal plug-in hybrid car that has collapsible wings, retractable propellers, and is capable of driving and flying on its own in the event of an emergency. Emergency? More like EVERY TIME WE NEED TO GO TO WORK!

Raise your hand if you'd like a cure for HIV!

ALL OF YOU better be raising your hands! The disease has killed 25+ million people since 1981, and that is just plain unacceptable!

Apparently researchers at Denmark's Aarhus University Hospital believe they are "within months" of a breakthrough that could lead to an affordable cure

Science is one crazy mofo!

We're not talking about new cell phone tech or a pill that will keep you rock hard for hours, we're talking about a prosthetic limb that runs on thoughts and can have all the flair and grace playing a piano as your talent will allow! LOLz!

This new limb — an arm and a hand — is really freaking good at recreating virtually every movement of a natural arm, and it's all controlled by brain power!

Here's what Matheney says, the amputee testing the product:

To all the stem-cell nay-sayers out there: just LOOK at this girl and realize that it was stem cell research that resulted in a better life for her! Of course, they didn't use embryonic stem cells… but still!

Hannah Warren is a 2 year-old girl that was born without a windpipe, and has been unable to breathe, eat, drink or swallow on her own since she was born in South Korea in 2010. She just had a new windpipe grown from her own stem cells. Absolutely incredible!

The stem cells came from her own bone marrow, specifically from her hip bone. Are you ready to have your mind blown?

Gone are the days of quickly popping in a piece of gum to hide whatever illegal thing you were doing from cops, because science just found a way to breathalyze that shizz! LOLz!

The good news is that the new technology is a super computer that isn't portable and costs a half a million dollars to build, right? WRONG, the scientists in Stockholm used a cheap, commercially available monitor called the SensAbues. Your driving under ANY influence days are numbered!

This new technique forgoes having to take blood and all of that, and only needs you to breathe. It detects not just weed, cocaine and amphetamine, but also prescription drugs such as diazepam and the painkiller buprenorphine! The roads already feel safer!

How does it work?
