New chemical compound could make humans “invisible” to mosquitoes

Little bugger's, this can't come out soon enough! 

It’s a breakthrough in the fight against disease-carrying
mosquitoes. Researchers have found a chemical that disables the part of the insect’s brain that smells humans. Future bug repellents
based on the compounds could give people an invisibility cloak against the
winged pests. We talked to a scientist who worked on the discovery to find out more.

Watch a real life Human Torch create fire with his bare hands
Who knew that one of the easiest superhero powers to get (at least on a neutered, pathetic human scale) is the Human Torch’s Flame On power? If you’re Russian and/or drink a lot of vodka, you can use a hot wire and a debauched sense of pain to create fire with your bare hands.
