A 16-year-old high school student has invented a new way of producing electricity by harnessing the brawny power of bacteria.

Online auction site eBay rules that New Zealand not for sale
SYDNEY, Australia -- New Zealand is not for sale, despite somebody in neighboring Australia trying to offload the nation of 4 million to the highest online bidder.
With a starting offer of just one cent, brisk bidding for the prime chunk of South Pacific real estate quickly boosted the price to 3,000 Australian dollars (US$2,330) before eBay pulled the plug on the auction this week.
"Clearly New Zealand is not for sale," eBay Australia spokesman Daniel Feiler told the New Zealand Press Association, adding that 22 bids had been made before the company acted.
Who would be dumb enough to bid $2,330 for New Zealand?
Also, I bet the shipping costs would be a bitch....
