Scientists in the kitchen/Cooks in the lab
Only recently in print, The Hungry Scientist Handbook
shows how to bring the latest, greatest technology available to bear
upon the culinary arts. It compiles the most mouthwatering projects
created by a mechanical
engineer and his band of intrepid techie friends (like Robin Hood, but
without the tights). Their mission: the pursuit of projects possessing
varying degrees of whimsy and utility, and this book is a chronicle of
their success. In no time, you'll be donning lab goggles in the kitchen
and kitchen goggles in the lab - just make sure to label your
ingredients (don't want you drinking acid by accident).

The Money Tree!
According to the developers of a GM tree, "It was only supposed to be
an eco project!". In the end, they got more than they had bargained for
-- a tree that produces US currency. They claim you can buy one for
yourself for US$30.
