fog into drinking water, how hookworms might help stave off diabetes, and a surprising link between memory and paranoia.

Without further ado, let's satisfy some curiosity.

What if you could drink clouds?

That sounds like something out of Willy Wonka.

Um, would it work? Like you take a hot air balloon up and just start chugging? Do I get a

straw? Like how's this work in here? The great water fountain in the sky, right?

All right, well not quite. Think about maybe a cloud that's a little

closer to the ground like fog exactly scientists have come up with a new way to do this

and it's pretty cool backup a new way does do this and it's pretty cool.

Back up, a new way?

Does that mean that there's an old way?

Well, thing is, people who live in places where there's a ton of fog,

but not a ton of drinking water,

have been gathering water from fog for a long time already.

Gotcha. Okay, so I'm guessing it some kind of condensation catcher, like a pitcher of lemonade on a hot day with beads of water just sort of

dripping down the sides?

Well, you're not too far off.
