I guess building nanobots to seek destroy cancer cells in the bloodstream can wait, we gotta build a snowman!!!

 

[GlacierFreeze]

Pretty cool. 1/5th width human hair, would you even be able to see it in your hand? Wouldn't think you would.

 

[soo-nah-mee]

Snowman FAIL! Everbody knows snowmen have THREE sections, not two. Careless scientists. 😛

 

[warezme]

reminds me of a joke:

Question:
Do you know how moth balls smell??

Answer:
Yes, they smell awful.

Joke:
Really, and how do you get their little legs apart?

 

[doc70]

Awesome!

Not true!

Hehe, that's what I was thinking. However, just like people snowmen can come in all sizes.

That one has 3 sections, just like us head, torso and the legs section, the micro snowman just has 2 he has no legs :/

 

[theubersmurf]

That was pretty cool.

Like all of us, even researchers working for the greater good need a break once in a while. Why not mix in a little fun with your work... nano style!

Next year: Frosty the cancer-hunting nanobot...

Cue the music:

Frosty the nanobot was a cancer eating fiend,
With a biomolecular pipe and a ion deposited platinum nose
And two eyes made by depletion via ion beam.
Frosty the nanobot is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of tin but the children who are
Thin, know he saved a life by destroying cancer cells.

I think Renegade is actually Tommy Shaw trying to sell greatest hits albums by posting in forums found by googling styx lyrics! 😀

Neat-o Cheeto.

The snowman has quite a defect (a missing chunck) on the lower left of his body.

 

[WyomingKnott]

Umm, if made out of two tin beads, it's not a snowman. It's a tinman.

Riddle: What's the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman?

 

[buwish]

These guys have a bit too much time on their hands...

 

[soo-nah-mee]

[citation][nom]buwish[/nom]These guys have a bit too much time on their hands...[/citation]Yeah, Styx should write a song about it.

[citation][nom]wyomingKnott[/nom]Riddle: What's the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman?[/citation]snowMEN are much better drivers.

 

[Swivelguy]

So the snowman's height is like 30 um. That's really actually not all that small. I suspect there are no fewer than 100 research groups in the world that could make a smaller one in under a week if they wanted to.

don't sneeze!

Exactly what I was thinking too. Doesn't a SNOW man need to be made out of... snow?

Cool either way.

Its amazing what scientists can accomplish when they dont feel like doing work.
