Impressive, the artist must have eyes of an eagle to make something that tiny look good not to mention dexterity. Working in gold and silver at that tiny level, wow!

How's this?



The seriously asymmetric plane that actually flew. I understand it was actually a good performer, but the Luftwaffe couldn't get over it's strange appearance.

Is it Silly Putty, or is it Steel?

Well, it's a bit of both actually.

OMG! He wasn't even going that fast. It's like his right wrist and hand locked (20% throttle), and his right elbow locked fully extended.

Thumbs up Parrot imitates smoke alarm, saves family

MUNCIE, Ind. — A noisy parrot that likes to imitate sounds helped save a man and his son from a house fire by mocking a smoke alarm, the bird's owner says.

Shannon Conwell, 33, said he and his 9-year-old son fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. They awoke about 3 a.m. Friday to find their home on fire after hearing the family's Amazon parrot, Peanut, imitating a fire alarm.

"He was really screaming his head off," Conwell said.

The smoke alarm had activated, but it was the bird's call that caught Conwell's attention.

"I grabbed my son and my bird, and got out of the house," he said.

The fire destroyed the home's dining room, kitchen and bedroom, Muncie fire officials said. It remains under investigation.

Conwell said the fact that he and his son fell asleep on the couch helped save them. They may not have heard the alarm or the bird if they were asleep in their bedrooms.

Conwell said he runs an air conditioner and a breathing machine in his bedroom and they drown out a lot of noise around the house.
