4. Pets

Sometimes when you shop online, you'll order something that doesn't fit. It can be a little more problematic when it's a living creature who may not “fit” your lifestyle.

You will be scammed in a number of different ways.

1. The puppy is not ACTUALLY a “champion.” 2. He's from a puppy mill 3. There is no puppy, you're just being scammed

"If you buy a puppy over the Internet, not only are you risking supporting puppy mill cruelty, you're also risking being scammed out of your money. According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, hundreds of complaints are filed every year from victims who were scammed when buying a dog online. The puppy you receive may not be the puppy you agreed to buy, and you may not even receive a puppy at all! Internet scams abound, including everything from fake "free to good home ads" where the buyer is asked to pay for shipping, only to never see that puppy they tried to help, to breeders posing as sanctuaries or rescues, but charging upwards of $1,000 in "adoption" fees."

"Gunther von Hagens, the anatomist who invented a new way of preserving anatomical specimens with the use of reactive polymers (a process called plastination, which replaces water and fat with plastic), has one for you. Von Hagens is the man behind the controversial Body Worlds exhibit and its display of posed, dissected corpses.

According to a Reuters report, “A whole body from www.plastination-products.com costs about 70,000 euros ($97,400), torsos start at 55,644 euros and heads come in at around 22,000 euros each — excluding postage and packaging.

Go green with urine powered batteries.

"To make the battery, Lee and his colleagues soaked a piece of paper in a solution of copper chloride and sandwiched it between strips of magnesium and copper. This sandwich was then laminated between two sheets of transparent plastic.

When a drop of urine is added to the paper through a slit in the plastic, a chemical reaction takes place that produces electricity, Lee said.

The prototype battery produced about 1.5 volts, the same as a standard AA battery, and runs for about 90 minutes. Researchers said the power, voltage, and lifetime of the battery can be improved by adjusting the geometry and materials used."
