Learn why you can't have breakfast at McDonald's all day
It turns out there is a legitimate reason these chains deprive us of egg sandwich dinners. The grill temperature required to cook beef patties, which of course are the base of McDonald’s famous burgers, is quite different than the grill temperature required to cook an egg. In order to increase the efficiency of this “fast” food establishment, they can’t be splitting grills.
In some cities, such as Hong Kong, McMuffin sandwiches are actually served all day. This is because of the prominence of the egg in other meals besides breakfast in these countries. So next time you’re craving an Egg McMuffin in the evening, consider a trip to China.

There's a gun that silences people without pain or discomfort!
The gun records the target’s speech and fires it back at them at a delay of a few hundred milliseconds. This affects the brain’s cognitive abilities and causes the person to stutter and then stop talking.
The gun is based on the principle that speaking requires constant auditory feedback. This process is disturbed when there is a delay between when someone says something and when they hear it. When there is this delay, the person gets confused and stops speaking. The SpeechJammer may be the perfect solution to hush those speaking too loudly in a quiet place or just for people who talk too much.
