They say that no news is good news, and in this episode of scienceTASTIC we may prove that to be true. Mark tells us of a jellyfish that can live forever (obviously they'll be plotting to take over the world), Mike breaks it to us that green people are selfish, cheating thieves (what hope do we have left?), and Joe describes how the problem of waste disposal has gotten so bad in Beijing that all they can do is install giant deodorant guns to cut down on the stink. There is a bright side, I guess. The HeatSwell is a nifty - and ecological - alternative to cardboard coffee cup sleeves, there's a new satellite that throws itself away, and the next generation of RFID tags could have your cartload of groceries rung up in an instant. Things aren't so bad after all.

What we didn't get to: the world's only poisonous bird, controlling video games with the blink of an eye, and the must-see documentary The Elephant In the Living Room.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: On Saturday, April 12, celebrate humankind's first flight into space on Yuri's Night. If you can't make the party in Cleveland, find a celebration closer to home.
