If this article is to be believed a man has created a whisky made from urine. The whisky is made using the high sugar urine produced by diabetes patients. The urine is filtered using the same processes which are used to purify water. This removes the sugars which are used in the fermentation process. The whisky is not available commercially but if do you want to try some tasting opportunities are available at the Materials design event in London in September.

This cute little guy is Luntik. He is unusual because he has an extra pair of ears in front of his regular ones. The ears don’t have any canals so unfortunately the cat is not blessed with super hearing but it does make him look a little unusual. The cat was pictured at a service station in Russia and other than the extra ears appears perfectly normal.

Tailor Walter Sinnhofer used 77 square yards of cow hide to make the lederhosen which weigh 50kg. He is now waiting for Guinness World Records to officially confirm they are in fact the world’s largest pair.
