Spider Robot
“A giant mechanical spider, part of a piece of free theater by French company La Machine entitled “Les Mecaniques Servants”, walks along the waterfront in Liverpool, England on September 5, 2008. The 37-ton spider which stands at 50 feet (15 meters) tall was in Liverpool as part of the city’s European capital of culture celebrations.”
Jet Pack FTW
“Swiss pilot Yves Rossy, the world’s first man to fly with a jet-powered fixed-wing apparatus strapped to his back, flies during his first official demonstration, on May 14, 2008 above Bex, Switzerland.”
The Dumbbells
Tags:APOD, Science!, Space, Wallpaper
Explanation: These two nebulae are cataloged as M27 (left) and M76, popularly known as The Dumbbell and the Little Dumbbell. Not intended to indicate substandard mental prowess, their popular names refer to their similar, dumbbell or hourglass shapes. Both are planetary nebulae, gaseous shrouds cast off by dying sunlike stars, and are similar in physical size, at a light-year or so across. In each panel, the images were made at the same scale, so the apparent size difference is mostly because one is closer. Distance estimates suggest 1,200 light-years for the Dumbbell compared to 3,000 light-years or more for the Little Dumbell. These deep, narrow-band, false-color images show some remarkably complex structures in M27 and M76, highlighting emission from hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms within the cosmic clouds.

SantaClaus
As earlier said as in a recent post, www.myconfinedspace.com/2008/12/24/santas-little-helper/ , i took the liberty of taking this picture today of the original statue made by Paul McCarthy called Santa Claus, currently residing on the Eendrachtsplein (plein means square) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In Rotterdam the statue is known as \’Kabouter Buttplug\’ since the christmastree he\’s holding resembles a sex-toy called butt-plug, however the term \’kabouter\’ means pixie and not santa claus which takes Santa off the hook i guess.
Makes sense to me
