Today's animated Martian Dust Devil!
This awesome ACTION animation shows a dust devil scooting across a plain inside Gusev Crater on Mars as seen from the NASA rover Spirit's hillside vantage point during the rover's 459th martian day, or sol (April 18, 2005). The individual images were taken about 20 seconds apart by Spirit's navigation camera, and the contrast has been enhanced for anything in the images that changes from frame to frame, that is, for the dust devil. HELL YEAH!

Today's ACTION packed consumer product!
Shock Coffee
Supercaffeinated java beans and drinks - HELL YEAH!!!!
New York-based Shock has developed a coffee blend with twice the normal active ingredient. "Beans that grow at a lower altitude have a higher caffeine content," vice president for sales Serge "Shakey" Karnegie explains.
The company sells regular beans, candy-covered beans, and a brew marketed as an energy drink.
The tagline: "Sleep is overrated." Nice.
