Jun 2 2008I'm Still Hungry: World's Smallest Ramen Bowl
Scientists in Japan recently made the world's smallest ramen bowl, with a diameter of only 1/25,000 of an inch. Which, in scientific terminology, makes it invisible except to superheros that got shafted in the cool powers department (unless they can also see through walls, in which case boobs, sweet). The bowl was carved entirely out of nanotubes and was entered in a recent microphotography contest. Now as someone who just recently finished a project on nanotubes and nanotechnology, I know all about these things. Some interesting facts I uncovered during my research: They're made of carbon. They're mad small. Like super-duper small. They put my junk to shame. I hate nanotubes. Nanotubes are stupid.

Thanks to Hunter, who holds the competitive eating world record for nano-ramen: five quadtrillion megazillion boobillion bowls
Also thanks to Matt, who's been training hard and might take the title back this year

First! And finally, something small enough for me to catch walls when I stick my tiny penis into it!

It's about time they started offering the economy Ramen bowl. Maybe now I can afford to buy them from Costco.

Haha, I like CNN's title "microscopic ramen bowl BELIEVED to be world's smallest." I guess there's doubts.
Shame they didn't put the nutritional facts on there (just so they can brag about it).

ok so who's going to invent the nano-ramen?
