Two of my favorite internet friends (whom I do like more than most of my real-life friends I have to confess) are super-talented.
Fred's got a new song out which I kept on repeat for an entire day. I highly recommend downloading it and singing along.
And Jetpacks has an awesome song... about jetpacks that I missed in April. But I've remedied that and have it stuck in my head. It's appropriate since all this weekend I wished I had a robot to clean my bathroom floor.
LONGVIEW (Wash.), April 10.—(INS)—Reports of three motorized birdmen soaring over Longview had the lower Columbia River area agog today.Two laundry employes said they saw the human airplanes or animated comic strip characters fly over the city without the help of parachutes. In January a similar birdman, singular then, had been reported at Chehalis, Wash.
I was hoping it was a jetpack. ;) It wasn't....
Via Cryptomundo.
A US company have developed a car that can easily beat traffic jams - it can fly.
At the touch of a button the Transition from Terrafugia four-wheeled car extends a pair of wings either side of its main body.
Chief operating officer, Anna Mracek Dietrich, said: "It will take just a few seconds to transform and will be fully automated after the command is given in the cockpit. We're currently sold out for at least the first year, approaching the first two of production".
The Transition will use low-cost electronics and feature GPS and auto-pilot weather radar.
The prototype, which runs on super unleaded petrol, cruises at 120mph and lands at 65mph.
The estimated hourly fuel burn of four gallons equates to 30mpg in flight.
Terrafugia - which means escape from the earth - are selling for £74,000.
The company hopes the first car will be ready by next December.
