Bicycle Sky Lanes

If you do a lot of cycling, especially round city centres, then you've probably come pretty close to getting squashed under a bus or some equally horrific accident while you've been out and about. This is a pretty genius solution to the problem - by taking all the cyclists off the roads and putting them on special "lanes" which are suspended above the road. It sounds like something out of Futurama but read through the idea and you'll see it's not actually that stupid...

Crocodiles

If that last one was a bit too much, heres some pictures of some pretty menacing-looking crocodiles.

F1 Car(d)

Just watch the video...

The Zonkey

"Sometimes", said Father Donkey, "When a donkey and a zebra love each other very much...."

"Deweaponising" the Gun

Is deweaponising even a word? I'm not sure, but this guy probably isnt arsed - he's too busy making masterpieces by shooting 22 calibre rifle at a sheet of metal.

A Load of...

...Kinetic Balls, moving in perfect unison - apparently. This installation at the BMW museum comprises 714 of said "balls" which "seem to float weightlessly in the air, first rising and sinking haphazardly, then assuming rhythm and pattern as various undulating shapes, and eventually taking on discernible vehicular form". Obviously that's just fancy talk for "theres some balls suspended on wires that move up and down" but the effect is pretty cool.

Just a minute...

What can you do in 60 seconds? Probably quite a lot of things, which is why, I'm guessing, someone decided to throw this list together to put things into perspective - including the fact that in the time it's taken you to read this sentence, Oprah Winfrey has made $523.
