Freaky Friday


Do you remember the movie "Freaky Friday" where a mother and daughter changed places for a day? The mother finding herself back in school and the daughter finding herself in the grown up world... Sevens member Sue King sends along the picture above, which is very odd. Sitting at your computer, the angry man is on the left and the calm woman is on the right... but as you back away from your computer they change places on you. If you click on the picture it will get bigger and give you a better view.

As Sue's email says, it makes you wonder about seeing expressions in people that aren't really there at all.

Thanks, Sue!

Fort Wayne Police Scanner

Did you know there was a Fort Wayne City Policy & Fire Scanner online? I didn't. It seems to work best using Internet Explorer (rather than Firefox or any other browser) and it may require you to run an active X control to allow it to function the first time. I used to have a nice scanner and then the Police went all digital on me... so this is nice. It may not make it through any work-type proxy servers, but it's nice for home.

Similarly, the Allen County Police & Fire Scanner is online is well.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn currently has a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 on display. Not a bad little car... it will do over 250mph, 16 cylinders, over 1000 horsepower.
At top speed, its tires only last about 15 minutes, which is a moot point since the gas tank will be empty in just 12 minutes.
