Next time someone asks you to walk to the corner shop to save fuel and the environment, say “No Problem” I’ll just put my shoes on.

Deep, black mars holes

Wow! And when you look at the edge of these holes, they look like the crust is quite thin.

Radical ‘new’ tire design by Michelin

I know they've been out a while but I hadn't seen them till my niece Kelly sent me an e-mail with these photos. Anyway, I figured if I hadn't seen them maybe others hadn't either.

The accompanying blurb says:-

Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.

The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires.

This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology:
A.) no more air valves...
B.) no more air compressors at gas stations....
C.) no more repair kits...
D.) no more flats...

I was surprised to see the new Michelin tires though on an Audi in a Philadelphia Car show, but I guess the Germans do make the world's best cars... they just cant win wars. So now I've both offended and pleased some Americans & Germans. Oh well, you can please some of the people etc. etc. Take the blue pill not the red one if it's a problem.

Elvis Presley sang about the Devil in Disguise, I wonder if way back then he really meant the future pope.

Dolphin Submarine

“Powered by a 400 horsepower small-block V8 (the same standard engine that powered the 2005 Corvette) the Bionic Dolphin can travel either on the surface of the water like a boat or completely submerged like a submarine. While the current models are only single-seaters Rowe has also designed a two-seat prototype that will serve as the production model. The Bionic Dolphin was scheduled to go on sale in early 2006 with a price tag of around $50,000 but looking at the website they still seem to be involved in the very important safety-testing stages.“ - Fast-World

Well as far as the general idea goes it’s great, I want one! As far as a submarine goes, a Dolphin would have to be the ideal shape, but as for using 400 horsepower small-block V8, I’d say that oxygen is going to be a problem, since a motor that size needs considerable amounts.

Personally, a high torque electric motor driving a pump, as they use in jet boats, and making up the weight from the V8 with batteries may be a better idea.

Every time I see a photo like this I think ‘Earth Quake’… the question is am I paranoid or have I just got a sick sense of humor?

Brilliant moon shot

I found this brilliant image on a Russian website, not sure how much of it is real or photoshoped, either way it’s a nice shot.
