♪ ♪ it is st. patrick's day, and we're continuing the irish theme with our weird science. of course a big tradition here in the united states, particularly in chicago, is to dye the chicago river green. >> we thought it wasn't going to happen. >> right, because last year it was a big blow when they announced that the st. patrick's day celebrations were going to be canceled. so this was like a nice little return to normal, right? but we are going to brake down the science of how they do it. because the chicago plumber's union has been coloring the river since 1962. apparently, it's more or less just food dye. >> you scared me when you said the plumbers were involved. why is it green now? >> because they needed to track leaks.

so they would use this dye that wouldn't interfere with the water. since '62 they've been tasked with turning the river very festive. and so they don't talk about what concoction they use, but it's more or less food dye. >> they do use two to three motorboats, a smaller one to churn up the water. mm-hm. speaking of churning something up. >> mm-hm. >> apparently, we're learning here on weird science that life was started by lightning. yes, a lightning strike. apparently, they believe that the lightning striking the surface of the planet earth billions of years ago may have unlocked the phosphorus necessary for the creation of dna, cells and bones. this is a new study here. >> >> apparently, dr. frankenstein was on to something here. when there's a lightning strike near me, it scares the life out of me. >> that is very true. okay. that's very different from what i've learned in school. but we're open to new theories, i guess. >> weird science.

>> a lot of people who are in school have been doing it remotely. this woman in the uk got a tattoo remotely. >> what? >> she was in the netherlands, the artist was in the uk, and he's the one operating that robotic arm, and they did it using 5g cellular technology. it was organized by t-mobile netherlands and another london-based technology company. and maybe this is the future. maybe this is how you don't have to fly to new york to go to your favorite tattoo artist or whatnot. >> people take photo shoots remotely now as well. at least during the pandemic. >> it knows no limits. >> talking about weird science in motion. look at this motion right here. whoa, wait, no one is driving that car? man doing pushups on the car. this is in india, and guess what, y'all, he got a ticket. how's that for lucky on this st. patrick's day. >> he tried to multi-task. >> top of the morning to you.
