This is fun: Levitating insects, along with a fish who had to perform the feat out of water. It's long been known that objects can be raised to a floating position using high-frequency sound waves. The below "levitating ant" video was not, as far as I know, produced by the same team featured in the story linked above, but it's the same idea. It's almost as hilarious as the trap-jaw ant movies from last August.

Meanwhile, there were no category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic this season. No category 4's, either. In fact, only two Atlantic tropical storms evolved into hurricanes this year [correction: This should have said "major hurricanes." --see update to this post below], and neither one made landfall, in spite of dire warnings given last May of a "very active" season. Gulf Coast residents are happy that forecasters are not always spot-on.
