Science truly can benefit
mankind - and there’s no better
example than new technology
which enables DVDs to smell
exactly like pizza.
The breakthrough has been put
into practice in Brazil this week,
where Domino’s has partnered
with a chain of video stores to
offer special DVDs with heatactivated
inks and lacquers.
When viewers watch the movie,
the DVD gradually warms up as it
spins in the player, activating the
odorific chemicals so when the
film is over there’s a distinctive
waft of cooked cheese in the air.
The idea, presumably, is to
prompt people to then order
some home delivery so they can
smell the real thing.
A New study published by
Britain’s Institute of Economic
Affairs has found that the best
way to stay healthy in retirement
is to not retire at all.
The report found that when
people stop working there’s
generally a “drastic decline in
health” in both the medium and
long term.
Although there was a small
boost to health immediately after
retirement, that then leads to a
significant decline, with retired
people 60% more likely to suffer
from a physical condition, with a
40% higher risk of depression.
CHICAgo’s Navy Pier
amusement park set a new world
record this week, after one of its
staff rode a Ferris Wheel for more
than two days.
Clinton Shepherd said he went
around 384 times in a total of 48
hours, 8 minutes and 25 seconds,
with the stunt documented by
a video camera along with an
extensive Twitter following.
A special gondola on the wheel
was fitted with cushions, curtains
and a big screen TV, and fans
could join in for a spin in return
for making a charity donation.
After the ride he said his legs felt
“a little wobbly”.
