Transformer Thinking

Imagine if we actually built everyday vehicles so they could transform to kickass robots?

The Pasha Bulker would be off Nobby's Beach:

The Singapore Navy would need far less recruits:

Aussies would actually want to go buy a Citroen car (especially if we had ice to skate on!):

A fear of flying would become much more rational too:

The perfect bacon sandwich

Apparently British scientists from Leeds University have found the formula for the perfect bacon sandwich:

The formula is: N = C + (fb (cm) . fb (tc))+ fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

It's funny what some people do for a living. I guess these university researches will be in high demand with fast food giants.

Ariel Atom - Nuclear Missile on Wheels

Speaking of great gear - this little car is one heck of a supercar, bearing in mind that it does seat two, is roadworthy and even has a (tiny) boot/trunk. The best bit is the price, around US$50k. See more at the Ariel Atom website.



Surely this car needs to be in the next James Bond movie? And if you're running a spy RPG you would have to also consider this little beast as a great getaway car for the heroes (or badguy).
