Some of you may enjoy this. It's about a knifefish, called Stanley, who is being used to help design new submarines. The idea is that knifefish are incredibly efficient: a propeller on a sub wastes 20-30% of the energy, where a knifefish wastes only 2-5%. The knifefish article is about 23 minutes into the show, if you want to fast forwards.

There's also an article on toadfish, and a couple about space.

Enjoy!
