...have you ever felt like doing some diving on coral reefs but haven't been bothered to actually do it?... well now you can do it via your computer... on this website below...

http://www.catlinseaviewsurvey.com/site/panedia/heron-island

... here are some screenshots of the 360[SUP]0[/SUP] panoramic views... you can look up/down and all around to see some of the wonderous reefs that sit on our coastline and others... the white dotted lines are where you click on to swim further along the reef to see the different areas all around...









...in the last two images you are in 'virtual mode'... you can have it so you're looking through a diving mask if you so wish to make it 'feel like you're there'... it's a great little website for people that have phobias that don't want to do the actual dive... cheers.

They show you how the gyrocoptor bit of it (because that's all this is really - and they're bloody dangerous if that rotor fails) unfolds and then folds back up again in seconds... but what they DON'T show you in both cases is how the actual rotor blades fold up. What's the bet that's the stage that takes 20 minutes and requires a boot load of special spanners and bolts..?

...ha!ha! SeanE... I never even picked that up until you said so... yeah... that'd be a bugger wouldn't it?... well so much for getting to work the easy way!... cheers.

[Mr Stickyfingers]

...On March 15 in 1985 'Symbolics Computer Corporation' made history by registering the first ever domain name... in that year there were only five websites in existence... today apparently there are now over 192 million domains that are registered and there are more than 2.1 billion users worldwide... they're mostly based in Asia... (wow!... who woulda thunk that?)...

...here is the link to it's website...


http://symbolics.com/


...there are some really interesting facts and figures to ponder over... this for instance...





...it's incredible to think how far the Internet has developed in 28 years... the facts will boggle your mind... cheers.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

...some amazing looking things on Pinterest... just scroll over most of the images to find out where they are from... some had no title...




...this looks Photoshopped to me but the title says...'The largest umbrella in the world is in China, Gansu Province' so who knows eh?... apparently it is legit... I don't believe it... cheers.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

...while flitting around on the Internet I discovered this website under the name of 'Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencil by Dalton Ghetti'... you will not believe the detail of miniature art done by this guy... here are some examples...

...to quote his website...

...Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. He even refuses to use a magnifying glass and has never sold any of his work, only given it away to friends. He said: “I use the sewing needle to make holes or dig into the graphite. I scratch and create lines and turn the graphite around slowly in my hand”...

The longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains. A standard figure will take several months. He said: “The interlinking chains took the most effort and I was really pleased with it because it’s so intricate people think it must be two pencils”

...here is the website page with his artwork... truly incredible stuff... cheers.

...bumps thread to avoid the Ad... cheers.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

...bloody Ad!... hmmmm!... I'm not overly impressed with the ending of this video... according to the experts Australia disappears from the surface of the Earth!... mind you... it is a 100 million years from now but that's still quite annoying to me... I love this place!... cheers.

Jetpack


...from this website...

http://www.inventor-strategies.com/modern-inventions.html

The Jetpack is one of those modern inventions that is just so cool.

Time magazine listed this innovation among the 50 Best Inventions of 2010.

New Zealand inventor Glenn Martin has spent the past 30 years developing his personal flying machine - a dual fan, gas fueled, vertical take-off and landing ultralight.

The Martin Jetpack is enthusiastically supported by the Research, Science and Technology Ministry of the New Zealand government.

In fact, the country has a rich history in aviation innovation dating back to what some historians claim to be the first invention of the airplane by inventor Richard Pearse.

The Martin Aircraft Company has completed a joint venture to begin production of the Jetpack. A remote controlled, unmanned model (UAV) has also been developed.

It is anticipated that emergency response and rescue organizations, border control agencies, law enforcement agencies and the military will be among the first to order this invention, which should be available by the end of this year.


The Jetpack has a maximum flying altitude of 2,438 metres (8,000 feet), a maximum speed of 100 kmh (60 mph), and a flight time of 30 minutes. Fueled by regular gasoline, the Jetpack comes equipped with a ballistic parachute, redundant systems and an impact absorbing undercarriage.

This invention is classified as an ultralight aircraft, which doesn't require a pilot license in most countries. However, all owners are required to pass a training program before being allowed to fly the aircraft.

Perhaps soon, we'll be watching overhead as commuters fly to work using one of these modern inventions. The price tag is about $100,000.

...a $100,000 price tag eh?... I could see that selling for sure... some luxury cars are around that range in price... although it would be a bitch to fly in wet weather I have to imagine... still... I'd love to have a fly around in one but a tad bit too rich for me I'm afraid... are there any rich people out there that feel like buying Sticky an early Xmas present?... cheers.

Puts geography teacher hat on...

This assumes that there's the global warming sea level rises, which may or may not happen and I doubt would have a 100 million year impact. And yes, Australia does disappear, but I assume he's going with the theory that Australia embeds itself in southern china, other theories say we end up off the coast of Japan

...thanks for enlightening me SeanE... I'd rather Australia end up next to Japan rather than disappearing under the ocean any time... thanks for the information... cheers.

Now do it backwards and discover this other way the uniformitarians/darwinists have been lying to us and to our children, etc, etc, etc.

[youtubevid]7kL7qDeI05U[/youtubevid]

We live in a very young world that was once much smaller and much healthier.

There also used to be a large amount of water ABOVE our atmosphere ... and our moon wasn't nearly as strange and suspicious as it currently is.

Then came "the flood" and the rings of ice etc came crashing down and the fountains of the deep were opened up and it took the entire landmass of the planet nearly a year to rise about the waters again.

The nephilim were here prior to that flood and after it ... and shall be here again prior to the next time of tribulation and all that too.

Where are they now ? Still here But Of Course, and also on/in that perfectly positioned massive sun-blocking satellite wot runs rings around us every 28 days and can eclipse "sol" virtually perfectly.

Satellite ? German types ? Ah, must be time to "buy new underwear light blue" again. ;-)

...thanks for that video Ders... it was great... the formation of the Earth does look more plausible in that video but I guess that we will never really know for sure...

...I've seen that 'Iron Sky' movie... it was pretty lame but wasn't too bad as a flight of fancy to pass a little time... it'll probably become a cult classic because of it's silliness... there are a couple of good laughs within the movie to keep the interest going longer than you would normally give to something like it... cheers.

I simply don't have the time to describe and explain how utterly inaccurate that video is... But I'll start with how the earth spins in the wrong direction....

You being an evolutionist/darwinist/uniformitarian busy inflicting the party lies, uh, lines on the minds of the young so they too may grow up to share your chosen delusions and all that ?
