DO WANT

(anyone up for a trip to the Netherlands where we beg, borrow, bribe, or steal these?)

Unfortunately, the supplies involved seem to include a parasailing kite, which nevermind all the engineering involved (these are motorized; he's just controlling the timing of flapping) sounds expensive.

Does really drive home just how big of wings you need on a human-sized body (never mind a dragon) to enable flight in Earth gravity, though.

edit: See also Man Claims to Fly With Custom-Built Bird Wings; Analysis of the Human Birdwings, which discusses whether there's anything in the video saying it must be a fake based on camera motion and some of the physics; and Man Flies Like a Bird Flapping His Own Wings (Update 6) on Gizmodo, which has a bunch of updates with people saying both "OMG fake" and "this is feasible".

This really doesn't look like 3D CGI to me, though it could possibly be a physical rig with cables painted out.

good god
ok, this is a book called "what the world eats", featuring photographs of families from various places in the world with a week's worth of their groceries
this Australian family of seven, a single mother, her parents, two teenage boys, one teenage girl, and one younger girl, has this:
11 lb smoked ham, 9.9 lb corned beef, 6.6 lb each ground meat, pork chops, sausages, "steakettes", 4.4 lb each chicken, rissoles (?), 2 dozen eggs, 2.2 lb each beef patties and fish fingers
and one week's food in January: at time of publication, USD$376.45 !!
(in 2008)
elsewhere they talk about biweekly trips which would be a little more believable, but still
SIXTY POUNDS of meat products per week?
i do not believe each of these people is eating 8.6 pounds of meat per day
especially a five-year-old girl
so i can only imagine this is "typical grocery trip" and that a number of these things last longer than 1 week
however, there's no note similar to those next to some others that say "amount of dried fish in the photo is approx 3 months' worth"...

HOLY FUCKING SOMETHING

My website is the #1 hit on Google for "zork walkthrough".

I want to note that this is two ahead of GameFAQs which I think of as the go-to site for this kind of thing.

Also #1 for "kings quest 3 remake walkthrough" (this game) and #2 for "kings quest 2 remake walkthrough" (this game).

What the crap?!?
