Discovery News has an Article today on solar powered pants.  The fabric actually has solar cells that will charge an electronic device in your pocket!  A measly 920$, chump change, right?

TODAY'S OVERFLOW:

Today's Article on Science Not Fiction: "Would Death Be Easier If You Know You’ve Been Cloned?"

And finally, an informative and though provoking lecture on the value of peer review in science.  Mixture of lighthearted approaches and somber approaches make for a well rounded, meaningful video.  Found via http://richarddawkins.net/ which points to 3 Quarks Daily
