While other 16-year-olds were watching TV and hanging out with their friends, St. Petersburg, Florida-native Evie Sobczak was hard at work in her garage developing a device that turns algae into fuel. Sobczak told the Tampa Bay Times that she spent about an hour each day tinkering in her garage on the project. After about four years, her hard work paid off, as Sobczak figured out a way to harvest and extract algae oils — without using any chemicals — and turn them into biofuel. And the technique is 20 percent more efficient than existing technologies. Sobczak’s algae-to-biofuel invention recently won first place at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix.

Sugar: Right about now, we could use some. Or... so we think? According to this terrifyingly informative Buzzfeed video, we're consuming way more sugar than we realize, in things we wouldn't suspect — for example, um, beans.

We already knew about the sugar in soda, juice, and energy drinks, but we were less than pleased to hear what's in our "healthy" cereals. Of course, all the food featured here is processed, which means it has all kinds of less-than-desirable ingredients. And, it's important to keep in mind serving size: Yes, it's gross that BBQ sauce has 168g of sugar in it, but are you going to eat the whole thing in one sitting? (If so, you deserve a high-five. We'll just be over here having less fun than you.)

Check out the video and let us know if you're surprised by the sugar content of the food that you're eating — or, that you're not eating. (Buzzfeed)

How wonderful and smile-inducing is this VW Bus Tent? It actually makes me want to own a tent. But then, maybe not, I just looked at the price tag. Ops! Maybe I’ll stick to the toiletry bag.
