In desperation, the police sent his urine to Britain's Atomic Weapons Establishment, which has equipment beyond the reach of any hospital. There, experts discovered Litvinenko's urine was teeming with radiation--not the gamma rays they had been looking...

To wit: Australian scientist Richard Helmer, left, recently developed an air-guitar T shirt with built-in motion sensors that detect arm movements and turn them into audible riffs. That's not all. A slew of video games, camps and classes are rolling out to fulfill your delusions of rock-'n'-roll grandeur.
