Military Experimenting With Airless Tires.

We've known about airless tires for a while now here on Geekologie, but now the US military is getting involved and testing them sums of beaches out on some of their vehicles. But not their tanks -- they don't have any air to begin with, silly!

The advantages of airless tires are obvious: they can't be punctured and they never go flat. But it clearly takes a lot of science to get the proper material that can stand up to the pressure of a multi-ton military vehicle sitting on top of it.
Nice, military, but how about some REAL airless tires. I'm talking about hover wheels, bitches! I know that shit exists, we stole the technology from the aliens. GET OUT OF MY HEAD GOVERNMENT! Quick, somebody Reynolds Wrap me, STAT!

Demitiu-se assessor de Obama que autorizou voo do Air Force One sobre Nova Iorque.

Barack Obama aceitou a demissão do assessor que autorizou o voo rasante sobre Nova Iorque do Air Force One, o avião presidencial norte-americano, para uma sessão fotográfica que gerou o pânico em vários pontos da cidade.

Louis Caldera era o director do gabinete militar da Casa Branca e terá sido ele a aprovar a sessão do passado dia 27, que se destinava a fotografar o avião com a Estátua da Liberdade em pano de fundo. Mas para tal, o aparelho foi obrigado a sobrevoar a baixa altitude Manhattan e Nova Jérsia.

Imagens captadas por transeuntes mostram os voos rasantes do avião, fazendo lembrar os atentados de 11 de Setembro, e o pânico das pessoas nas ruas e nos arranha-céus da zona.

O mayor de Nova Iorque não escondeu o seu desagrado por não ter sido previamente informado e o Presidente norte-americano apressou-se a criticar a sessão, que custou mais de 320 mil dólares, dizendo que se tratou de “um erro”.

Wine Glass Features Convenient Reservoir.

I know what you're thinking, "holy shit, that glass has a tumor!", and you're right, it kind of does. The Glass Tank is a conceptual wine receptacle that keeps your glass topped off at a constant level. That way you get drunk with while you're, you know, I've been drinking. Now I know -- 4.20's supposed to be about smoking, but, and it might just be the booze talking -- but I love booze. Also, this is a stupid idea. I already have a wine glass with built in receptacle -- it's called the box. Or, if I feel like being Mr. Fancy Pants, the bottle. Class: you can't spell Geekologie Writer without it.
