How would you like wearing a shirt made out of 100% real spider webs? Zheng Xianwen used the ancient method of creating clothing out of cobwebs to create this spider web shawl / shirt.
The shirt took him two days to make using the ancient methods. The good news is that he has plenty of spiders left over to snack on. Hopefully he didn’t leave any stragglers.
Out in Livermore, California, one particular light bulb has seen more wars and events than anyone alive today. It’s been burning for 107 years and was manufactured by the now-defunct Shelby Electric Company. The lightbulb now has a home inside Livermore Fire Company’s Station No. 6., probably next to one of those cameras it powers.
Unlike light bulbs today, this particular bulb is said to have a perfect seal that allows no air to enter it. This keeps the bulb burning continuously for 24-hours a day and it emits no heat, just like that glow-in-the-dark doorknob you bought the other day.
