So I'm going to defer to the last refuge of the blogger, the page of links.
First up, up a follow up on everybody's favourite car, the Citroen DS. This may well be the greatest car chase captured on film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVhx9iZNSmk (Edit: Thanks to Travis for telling me this link was broken. Its fixed now. Edit: Now it is)
Secondly, with all the Hadrons flying about, some of you have heard me talking about a thing called Heim Theory. Its an alternative unified theory that hasn't gotten any peer review, but seems pretty promising, not least because it may allow some form of hyperdrive (Also it supposedly predicts all the fundamental paticles... HYPERDRIVE!). Check out the wiki page here, but also have a look at the reference down the bottom to the AIAA paper on the hyperdrive application (then explain it to me).
Talking of space, the harderst part of space travel is the first hundred miles up. Jonathon Goff over at Selenian Boondocks has just finished an incredibly well written series of articles on getting up there. You can read it here.
And back to cars again. Here's a nice set of photos taken behind the scenes of the Mercedes Benz museum. I'd have the white 300SL, and the blue curvy transporter with the Silver Arrows racer on the back.
Oh, and here's climb dance.
Alright, that's enough for now. Let me know if any of the links don't work and I'll try and think of something other than cars and spaceships to write about next time.

Yes, but at least your linkys are informative/interesting. Not that Seb's aren't either...
As a side note, your first linky (the Citroen DS Camp Car chase) is broken: it has two http sections and so breaks. Simple enough to repair though.
I am liking the informative linkys. I will browse them when i have more time.
Cheers!
For those wishing to have a read/laugh/OMG-How-stupid-are-they at people attempting to dissuade others from Global Warming, go here (found via a couple of steps from Tim's linky to the various potential ways of entering):
Linky
Here's a hint of what you may find:
- people confusing units for Energy and Power and then using them erroneously
- Internet Arguments where they are trying desperately hard not to yell and call each other names.
That says it all really.
I have been entranced for the best end of 2 hours and i am only half way through.
I think we are all nuts.
(apologies, Tim. This was too good an offer to pass up. Please don't kill me.)
Of course, you could also go to Conservopedia for the same effect.
And a quote that is particularly true from that page:
"Chris has shown amazing patience here; as I discovered on the CO2 accumulation thread, trying to debate Alan is like trying to wrestle with Jello. Once again, Alan cannot keep clear the difference between the rate of change of something and the level of something, so his arguments are quite often literally meaningless."
