Science has grown colossally, especially over the last few years. It has managed to eradicate a number of diseases and make our lives easier. However, as they say- there is always room for improvement.

1. DNA Computer

The DNA molecules in our body are programmed to store massive volumes of genetic information on a long-term basis. One milligram can store anything and everything that has ever been printed since the beginning of time. One can only imagine how much information a DNA computer will be able to save.

2. A Colonized Moon

When a great mind somewhere in the world realized that it would be possible to colonize objects and room in space, he also figured out that the Moon could get colonized. When man walked across this object, the dream almost became a reality but not quite. NASA has not been able to achieve this objective just yet but hopefully, they will in the near future.

3. Head Transplant

The mere thought of such a transplant is bizarre and maybe that is why the surgery has not become commonplace today. For a head transplant to take place, the patient would need to get decapitated voluntarily and then have his head replaced with that of a donor’s. The main reason why the world needs this technological advancement is that it will help get rid of such diseases that effect the body, but not the head directly.

4. Clean Energy

Fossil fuels are depleting as we speak and according to studies, there will be no oil left in the world in about 55 years. This is why we need to develop or look for additional sources of clean energy. They are eco-friendly and just what the world needs.

5. Cure for Cancer

In many ways, this deadly disease is like the common cold because even though it is possible to treat it, there is no definite cure for it. Cancer kills about 7 million people every year which is why a cure should be found as soon as possible.

6. Travel to Mars

When man walked across the moon in 1969, the idea of walking on Mars became feasible as well. If the technology required for such a mission can be developed, scientists will be able to under the dynamics of space further.

7. Space Elevator

A space elevator would be massive, to say the least. It would be thousand times taller than any skyscraper in the world but it would make space travel extremely simple. Interestingly, creating this structure is not all that difficult because its centre will be in orbit. So then why don’t they do it?

8. Theory of Everything

Scientists have always believed that each and every happening in the universe is kicked into motion by one single force. The Theory of Everything attempts to prove this belief and amalgamate every force that has been recognized till date.

9. Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology can be revolutionized to change the very foundation of modern medicine. If it is perfected, doctors will be able to use certain molecules to destroy the very being of cancer cells.

10. Reach the Core of the Earth

In the past, people believed that it would be quite easy to reach the core of the Earth. They were wrong mainly because the weight and pressure at the core is enormous. If somebody is strong enough to make the journey, we will be able to find various other sources of energy and extend our time on the planet.

A cake is supposed to be good looking so that we want to eat it. Those who created these obviously did not think so because they are nothing if not ugly and repulsive.

1. The Lung Cake

Hopefully this cake started off as a normal and round chocolate cake but the baker seemed to have had a very bad idea. He covered it with a sickening version of the color pink and added irregular red lines all over it. The pink portion was meant to be the base of the lungs and the red lines were the veins. Bon Appétit!

2. Dead Crow

The name says it all. This cake was in the form of a crow that was placed belly up on the round foil-covered base. Its head was turned to the left and its mouth was open. The best part is that some red blood-like liquid was placed next to its mouth because God forbid, we may misunderstand and think that its asleep.

3. Decapitation Cake

The baker here placed a severed head on top of a grey round base- splattered with blood-like frosting. The ‘person’ had its eyes closed, his skull was bandaged and his face was horribly bruised and cut up. His features were molded to put across the fact that it had been through great torture. That is exactly what we want to think about before we eat something, right?

4. Kitty Litter Cake

The base of this cake was molded into the form of a container that is used to collect kitty litter. The main portion of this cake was a sickly brown, green and mustard-yellow. It was probably delicious- once you got over how gross it looked.

5. Divorce Cake

We all know that wedding cakes are three-tiered, beautifully iced and decorated with marzipan flowers. A divorce cake is similar- the only difference is that instead of the statue of the couple, it has only the bride atop the cake and the poor groom is lying face down at the base. Blood trickles down the various layers and makes the cake look quite hilarious.

6. Skull Cake

This cake is in the form of a skull which is deteriorating horribly. The eye sockets are filled with black icing as are the ears and teeth.

7. Carrie Cake

We all know who Carrie is- the timid fictional character created by Stephen King who had pigs blood thrown all over her at her prom. This cake depicts the scene and shows the telekinetic girls standing with a bouquet of flowers, drenched in blood.

8. Zombie Cake

This horrible cake was created by a woman who obviously had a great imagination. The zombie’s head was painted a gruesome shade of black and its hair was yellow and seemed to have been ripped out of its skull. It had rotting teeth and a single blue eye. The other socket had blood sprouting out of it.

9. Thorax Cake

The thorax is that part of the body which extends from a region below the head till the abdomen. The lungs and the heart are placed within this cavity and needless to say, so are a bunch of blood vessels. All the makings of a yummy cake, obviously.

10. Severed Hand and Rats

The baker first created a bloody and severed hand and then some rats. He then placed the rats around the hand to make it seem like they were coming towards it to nibble at it. You can pretend that you are a rat when you eat this revolting cake.
