Not today's news, but funny. I stumble upon this:
Which is worse Bird Flu or Kimchi Air Conditioning?

Let me start off by disclosing that I was brought up in a Korean-America household in the middle of the midwest. Part of being a Korean Family in America means that you need to have at least two refridgerators if not more. Your extra refridgerator will be placed in either the garage or the basement. This system was devised to help prevent everything you eat, touch or breathe from smelling like kimchi.
For those uninformed of the powers of kimchi smell, go to any korean/asian grocery store, buy one of those ginormous glass jars of kimchi and take it to your car. Take off the cap, roll up the windows and stay in the car for 1 hour. Then see what happens.
Not only is this smell so foul that it can kill a man or a grizzly bear, apparently it can also fight disease. Back when sars was the fad sickness, there were rumors that kimchi was the reason why the rate of infection in Korea was much lower than in China. This caused a lot of chinese to start importing some of this Kimchi. I think it may have just been some marketing ploy by the Kimchi Overlords in Korea.
Now they've decided to take this marketing to a whole new level. In case you don't want to eat kimchi, but only enjoy the sickness fighting qualities of it, LG has made an air conditioner that uses Kimchi to fight avian bird flu. Forget UV filters or any other things you can't really tell are working. Make sure that you can taste the power yourself.
