Zapata Racing just released the Flyboard, a water-powered jet pack available to the public. The Flyboard gets it propulsion from a jet ski idling nearby; its hose forces water to shoot out of the user’s feet. Not as cool as a the real deal the public is still waiting on, but I guess this is a happy medium for now.

The bottom picture has been floating around the internetz for a couple years now, but the story that went with it is usually left out. As it turns out, this was a a life-saving kludge that happened a while back in the Alaskan wilderness. A fisherman went on an excursion and mistakenly left a cooler filled with bait inside the plane. A bear smelled it and tried to gain access to the delicious goods contained within.
Upon discovering the condition of his plane, the pilot radioed not for help, but for duct tape. A rescue plane showed up with three cases of the world’s most magical invention and a pair of new tires. After a couple hours of patching he hopped in and flew home without a hitch.

While this week’s Historical Thursday isn’t very historical, it was just too good of a kludge to pass up. Vince Hannemann of Austin, Texas has been collecting junk over that past 20 years. A lot of junk. What started as a fun project in 1988 with a couple of bicycles and mattresses turned into a 33 foot-high tower encompassing his entire back yard.
