News from across the ocean

Three interesting stories from the UK Register:

• Scientists create a malaria-resistant mosquito (with green-glowing eyes) to hopefully out-compete malaria-infected mosquitoes.
• The US Navy has announced the development of an electromagnetic ray that upsets the inner ear and causes violent motion sickness.
• Researchers from the Lancet arranged drugs into a top 20 list, depending on the damage they do to users and to society in general. At the top was heroin, with cocaine number two. Fourth worst drug was alchohol, and tobacco number six. Cannabis was number eleven. From one to four were considered class A drugs, the worst. From cannabis at eleven down to number twenty was class C, the mildest, with those in between being class B.
