strange

From the "What the heck were they thinkig department?"

Apparently, designer Franziska Dierschke has designed a point-and-shoot camera that makes it actually look like you're going to shoot.

The other day, Yves Rossy took to the skies in Switzerland with a winged backpack loaded with four mini-jet engines.

He swooped and soared for a handful of minutes before cutting the engines and pulling the cord on his parachute and drifting to the ground.

It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Read about it here.

When I saw the first pictures from it, though, all I could think was, "Hey! I've seen that before!" It took me a little while to remember where...

It's official, the big Norwegian Doomsday Vault is taking deposits.

This huge underground vault is located about 600 miles away from the North Pole and will be used to hold samples of every seed they can get their hands on. They'll be cataloged and stored in the ultra-secure facility where they'll be safe from virtually every tragedy that could befall the planet (including massive climate change).
