This week's teaser comes from: Caressed By Ice by Nalini Singh
There was no need for Brenna to worry that her tormentor had come back from the grave. Of course that was Psy logic at work and she was indisputably a changeling. More to the point, she didn't know that Judd been present at Enrique's execution and, by extension, her rescue. He had no intention of changing that.

This week's teaser comes from: Does Anything Eat Wasps by NewScientist
(pg 108) "We found that a 750-milliliter wine bottle emptied in 9.9 seconds if inverted, but in 8.1 seconds if held at 45 degrees. Swirling the bottle so that a little tornado forms in its neck, allowing air to enter continuously and replace the liquid, brings pouring time down to just 7.7 seconds."
I'm being geeky and pulling from a science related trivia type book which is a compilation of question and answers from the column "The Last Word" in New Scientist.
