French Scientist Uses Genius To Save Lives
This is good stuff. A scientist not only creates a product that helps solve an ongoing problem with starvation in children, he does it in a simple, straightforward, cost-effective way. A simple collection of nutrients in the right delivery package, less likely to spoil than milk (take that dairy political action groups!), and can be administered by the parents rather than over-worked out-numbered doctors. This guy deserves a Nobel Prize, and a round of drinks from everyone on the planet.

Plastic's "Perfect Album"
I purposefully did not go through my music collection to try to answer the question of a "perfect album." I can, however, provide a few without even thinking about it:

PJ Harvey - Rid of Me: Raw, emotional, visceral. You can almost hear the nervous breakdown. Played on headphones, you feel like you are in the room with the band, thanks to Albini's incredible recording and production. Recorded in two days, mixed down in a handful more, it is a two-week masterpiece of hard-hitting emotional roller-coaster.

The Cure - Faith: One of the Cure's tightest and most impressive albums. Start to finish a memorable and amazing dive into the somber surreality of Smith and Co. The Holy Hour followed by Primary is among the best album openings of all time.
