and noise levels.

Japanese innovation
Interesting advertising from Japan. You will
want to buy one of these extra sanitary toilet
seats. I wonder if it will wipe for you too.

Lost in Translation
What happens when an English phrase is
translated (by computer) back and forth
between 5 different languages? The authors
of the Systran translation software probably
never intended this application of their
program.
The resulting half-English, half-foreign, and
totally non sequitur response bears almost
no resemblance to the original. Remember
the old game of “Telephone”? Something is
lost, and sometimes something is gained.
Try it for yourself!

terror watch
In November of 2004, visitors were asked to
anticipate a terrorist attack, and to be creative.
The report from the 911 Commission sited
a “lack of imagination” as a reason that the
World Trade Center hijackattack was not
averted.

A photo series of an abandoned amusment
park. Pretty errie if you ask me. It makes one
wonder. I am presuming that this is in Japan.

Wrecked Exotics
A website devoted to nothing but wrecked cars
and trucks. Some amazing and not too amazing
photos for your perusal. People should look at
these instead of rubber neck on the freeway!

Voyager One Approaches Interstellar Space
Launched from Earth on September 5, 1977, the Voyager 1 spacecraft is now 8.7 billion miles from the Sun and is reaching what most scientists believe is the edge of of our solar system. It’s too bad that this program is one which is curently facing cuts from the NASA budget (I believe that their staff is already under two dozen people). Hopefully they will keep this one alive as long as it keeps bringing back new, unique, science data.

Casket Styles
If you are extremely big when you die, these people have
a casket for you. I doubt that just six poll bearers can
handle this one.

The Nap-Cap
Why didn’t someone think of this thing
a century ago? No longer will you nod
while you nod off on the train. Cool.
