Hey Stupid - There's a Train Coming
Looks like he got his legs knocked pretty bad when he finally got on the platform.

Israeli Exoskeleton Suit Enables Paralayzed People To Walk
This is the first PSA on a major bio-medical technology advance I've seen in a long while without an obvious tie-in to its military applications. Upvote for that alone!

The Most Obnoxiously Tuned Toyota Prius... Ever
It's OK. It needs more teevee screens, however. Otherwise you might be able to look somewhere without one in your peripheral vision.

Vintage World War II footage of Kamikaze attacks. In color.
Slow-motion colour film, from the deck of the ship being hit. Amazing find!

Inside "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" video game and book
Love the concept art. Will that be in the book or do I have to find the "making of" book?

Cloaca, the machine that makes poo
I don't think that plate is paper. I think it's porcelain.

Raccoon Willie - Ungrateful Bastard!
Raccoons do not take to domestication very well. They're beguilingly cute when they're babies but as they grow they get big, strong and surly. They're wild creatures with a strong independent streak. They're also most active at night when they'll keep everyone up by climbing on, and breaking whatever they can, and they can break a lot. They also have a painful bite if anyone's tried to hold a raccoon that's larger than a baby. Welding gloves and some sort of protective codpiece are essential gear for raccoon wrangling.

Rama - A Cylindrical World - stunningly beautiful views
Not to be a stickler, but the tag is spelled wrong: it should be rendeZvous with rama.

Digg: LongBoarder Gets Wiped Out by a Motorist
More importantly, did they get his plate? Those longboarders are asking for injury riding like that but that motorist is asking for jail time.

Platypus - bird, reptile, or mammal?
I've seen better pieces on the platypus. There's very little actual interesting content in this piece, and not enough underwater antics.

Volcano Chaiten, Chile [2008/05/12]
Eerie lighting. Super quiet. Nobody around. I kept expecting Jack Nicholson to jump out of a doorway.

Running Into a Giant Dust Devil
It's like the Burning Man level in a first-person shooter. Sweet effects!

Breakthrough in storing Solar Energy
It still depends on the installation of a PV cell of sufficient capactity not just for the day, but for the night. Then it requires the installation of a fuel cell and an Oxygen/Hydrogen storage unit. I suspect it would be cheaper to install batteries of the same capacity as compared to this style unit for a house, but economies of scale would win out if this sort of unit was installed in an apartment building, for example.
