40 year annaversary of the exploding whale

Yes, you've probably seen it before but every time I see it it brings me to tears of laughter.

"Well I'm confident that it will work.   The only thing is we're not exactly sure how much.. uh... explosives it will take to disintegrate this thing."

Apollo vs LHC

I've always been envious of the awe that kids felt during the days of the Apollo missions.  I think the LHC provides us with a taste of what it must have been like to see technology on such a scale.  This thing is simply beautiful.

Great pictures here:

Pigeon in airport terminal.

You can take the island out of its agrarian past but you can't take the agrarian past out of the island.
