Just Passin’ Through

Pictured above is the Gate Tower Building in Fukushima-ku, Osaka, Japan. The tennent for the 5th-7th floors of the 16 floor structure is the Hanshin expressway. Reminds me of part of a children's song, 'Can't go over it, can't go under it, gotta go through it."

14 People in a Smart Car

I remember the good old days when a Volkswagen Beetle was the standard, but now it's official -- get 16 people in a Smart Car and you may break the world record.



Here's a shot of the world's smallest car, which is street approved and goes about 40 mph. At 52 inches long, not much back seat action is going to happen in this car.


This tiny car is officially known as the Peel 50 (about 50 were built) and has two front wheels and one in back.

World Record Bamboo Dance

Watch this video. Now picture ten thousand people doing it simultaneously.

Teeth Cleaning

At the Zurich Zoo in Switzerland a number of visitors were charmed and amazed today. In an enclosure housing a zebra and a mother and baby hippopotamus the strangest thing was observed. The mother hippo opened her mouth wide and allowed the zebra to reach his head in and clean her teeth. This went on for 15 minutes while visitors observed and took pictures. Never once did the hippo attempt to harm the zebra and the zebra showed no fear while his head was in her mouth. The second link has more pictures.

Just Imagine!

I can almost believe that I myself, starting from scratch and given several years, might be able to handcraft the 433 parts of a 1940s phone and assemble them into a working unit.

But how could I build the billion-dollar computer-chip fabrication plant in order to create one chip or hard-drive for an iPhone?

Car Keys

A car covered completely in computer keyboard keys, sounds cool doesn't it? Looks cool too! There's not alot of information about the car. It was spotted and photographed in California.

The Trembling Veil of Bones

I can't find any info on when the full-length version of this cartoon will debut, but the trailer sure looks weird enough to intrigue me!
