While looking up something utterly different, I stumbled across a Japanese website, some feller talking about his dad who designed fighters during WWII. On the page is a blueprint of the Boeing B-29… drawn by the Japanese in 1944 or thereabouts.
It’s not uncommon to see Allied drawings of Axis planes; less common to see Axis drawings of Allied planes.
NASA’s big news: bacteria that use arsenic instead of phosphorus.
Meh.
It’s interesting news, to be sure, but certainly overhyped. It’s counter-productive to try to make a big public deal out of something that assuredly *will* *not* interest the public.
Now that NASA is out of the “boldly going forward” business, they have to hype whatever they can to try to seem relevant.
And so it begins: near-naked TSA searches.
A woman in a wheelchair wearing only her bra and panties in hopes of preventing an intrusive search by Transportation Security Administration employees missed her flight Tuesday at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.
