Your guide to interesting stuff
Like the salad served at the Pizza Hut but dislike the idea that it’s expensive and you are not allowed to take more than once? Here is a guide on how you can maximize your return of investment, invented by some creative Taiwanese students.
I take no responsibility if you get booted from the restaurant for practicing the following guide. So, beware.
Got Google Earth and want some fun? Search for “Huntingdon” and see whether you can spot the plane.
Spoiler: The plane is at 52d20′10.89″N 0d11′43.34″W. Or you may also use this kmz file.
The Lancaster in question is the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s “City of Lincoln”, as discussed in this thread.
Sort of. Nissan Motor said on Friday that it has created a paint that automatically repairs scratches on its own. Depending on the temperature and the seriousness of the scratch, the paint is said to be able to restore the original look of the car within a week.
Next: Apple seeking to license the technology for its iPod Nano.

Don’t you just wish that your cellphone would one day look as cool as this? Meet Isamu Sanada, which Wired Magazine calls him “a photographer by trade, but an Apple designer by calling”. His Applele website is a popular showcase for dozens of speculative designs for future Apple machines.
Since it’s speculative, it means his designs are likely not to end up in stores soon. Still cool nonetheless.

It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, it’s no superman and it’s a human cannonball. David Smith, a self pro-claimed human cannonball, is said to be the first person to be fired across an international border. He saild across the border with his passport in hand. Prior to the launch, he was granted the permission for crossing into the US in such an unconventional manner.
“I had to make sure to have some kind of official ‘OK’ high enough up to make sure he doesn’t land in the US and go to a federal penitentiary,” his son said.
This guy is out of cash, and he can’t afford to have an Ikea shopping spree. Inspired by his friend who built a computer desk by utilizing the free Fedex boxes, he has contructed a desk, bed, couch, dining table and chairs out of the boxes.
Fedex didn’t like that idea, and sent him a cease and desist letter and claimed it violated the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). Sometimes big corporations just like to do stupid things to destory their own images.
