A real cyberpunk: scientists have unveiled a bionic leg that a person can feel like their own.

The Great Molasses Flood: Fiery hot molasses flooded the streets of Boston on January 15th 1919, killing 21 people and injuring scores of others. The molasses burst from a huge tank at the United States Industrial Alcohol Company building in the heart of the city. The tank contained 2.5 million gallons of molasses. When the bolts holding the bottom of the tank exploded, an eight-foot-high wave of molasses swept away the freight cars and caved in the building’s doors and windows, spread out into the streets and knocked down the local firehouse. Residents claimed for decades afterwards that the area still smelled of molasses on hot summer days.
