		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve seen the awesome spectacle of Cock-Eyed Science Club on SciencePunk before &#8211; last time they were testing the traffic-slowing capabilities of Mr Potato Head. I&#8217;m proud to award them a second Science Punk prize, given to those who&#8217;ve made a piece of science both entertaining and educational on a loose-change budget.

		<description><![CDATA[Clearly inspired by their academic surroundings, some students at Rice University, Texas, have created the T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project (Tests With Inorganic Noxious Kakes In Extreme Situations).  This involves subjecting the cakes to a whole barrage of low-budget yet ingenious experiments to further humankind&#8217;s knowledge of these indestructible confections.
Witness the soaring beauty of a Twinkie as [...]]]></description>

Living in a leafy suburb that suffers at the hands of speeding motorists, Rob decided to see what objects, left by the road, would reduce traffic speed most effectively.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently chanced upon the strange and possibly true story of William Kogut, a prisoner at San Quentin who came up with a cunning plan to avoid the executioner&#8217;s chair.
Built in 1852 by the prisoners who would eventually go on to be incarcerated in it, San Quentin is California&#8217;s oldest prison.  It has a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The strange and beautiful machine shown above is a reconstruction of a mechanical calculator built by mathematician and inventor Thomas Fowler in the 1830s.  The orignal machine has long since been lost, and precious few clues to its design and construction exist.  Painstaking research by Pamela Vass and David Hogan eventually pieced together [...]]]></description>

From Stuff.co.nz:
Two Kiwi schoolgirls are worldwide celebrities after their school experiment forced an international pharmaceutical and food giant to admit it made false claims about vitamin C levels in Ribena.

Nice one, ladies!

A Tesla coil generating a huge electrical field discharges into the ground as it rotates on a long boom.  Any would-be car jacker with poor timing skills is zapped [...]]]></description>
