~TRAILS of KNOWLEGE~ Ananova:Spinach-aided solar power US scientists say they have invented a device that uses spinach to convert sunlight into electricity.Shuguang Zhang, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, used spinach chloroplasts to make a solar energy cell. Chloroplasts are packed with chlorophyll - the substance that gives leaves their green colour and allows them to photosynthesise."Nature has been doing this for billions of years," Zhang told New Scientist. "This is the first time we've been able to harness it." The resulting cells are much thinner and lighter than existing solar panels and could eventually be used to make much more efficient panels, says Zhang. Previous efforts to integrate the energy harnessing capability of chlorophyll with conventional electronics have failed because it normally requires a watery environment in which to work. So far, the cells convert only 12% of light to electricity but Zhang says efficiency could be boosted dramatically by layering cells on top of one another.

#1
A customer moves away from a bank window, counts his
change, and then goes back and says to the cashier, "Hey,
you gave me the wrong change!"
"Sir, you stepped away from the counter," said the cashier.
"We don't make corrections after you leave. There's
nothing I can do about it now. That's the policy of this
bank."
"Well, ok," answered the customer. "Just thought you'd
like to know that you gave me an extra twenty. Bye."
#2 Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their contract's sick-leave provisions. One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper, "This man," he announced, "Called in Sick yesterday!" There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score. The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator. "Wow," he said. "Think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn't been sick!"
#3
After just one year of marriage, Jill filed for divorce, A friend, trying to console her said that you never know what a man's like until you live with him. "I should have left him right after the honeymoon. Instead of taking me to Niagra Falls, all we did was drive slow through the car wash a couple times".
#4 A priest was walking along the cliffs at Dover when he came upon two locals pulling another man ashore on the end of a rope. "That's what I like to see," expressed the priest. "A man helping his fellow man." As he was walking away, one local remarked to the other, "The Father sure doesn't know the first thing about shark fishing, does he!"
