Many in Top 10 Are Strange, Some Interesting: LiveScience.com has released its list of the 10 Weirdest Science Stories of 2006. These include Steve Irwin's bizarre death-by-stingray, a partial cloak of invisibility and also rats born to mice.

I think the most interesting story is the one about how scientists figured out a way to write on water. Pretty amazing! I don't see how you could make letters form in water and remain there permanently.

Which story do you think is the weirdest of the 10? The most interesting?

  In my opinion, the weirdest science story of 2006 was the transportation of single-celled animals, like the Star Trek transporter.  That story did not get enough press.
