Must see! Skydiver climbs from one glider to another. Crazy!
Unbelievable stunt with two gliders and a skydiver. Skydiver Paul Steiner climbs from one glider to another and touches the rudder during mirrorflight. Must see!

Kulula Air Planes Get Witty Redesign
Kulula Air is a low-fare 737 carrier based in South Africa. Recently the airlines received an unusual paint scheme. The entire airplane is covered with details about the plane, with arrows pointing to the most important parts including little bits of clever commentary. Someone there clearly has a sense of humor.

Old maps and brochures of Cedar Point
I've been visiting Cedar Point for at least 30 years. I was able to watch it change and grow and I wished at times I would have kept the maps and brochures through the years. Not any more! What fun it is to look at these! Find more maps and brochures of dozens of amusement parks at http://www.themeparkbrochures.net/main.html

The Mojave Desert’s Airplane Graveyard, Where Airplanes go on Retirement.
The Mojave Air and Spaceport, as it’s officially known, isn’t just a graveyard for inactive planes. It’s an active airport, home to one of the nation’s only civilian test pilot schools, and most famously the place where Space Ship One was developed and performed the first privately-funded human spaceflight in 2004. But it also functions as a giant parking lot for hundreds of jets owned by dozens of different entities, from major airlines to private individuals. If an airline doesn’t anticipate needing some of its planes for an extended period of time, it’s much cheaper for them to park those planes in the desert and have maintenance crews check them out once every few weeks than to keep them active.

The Illusion of Sex
The Illusion of Sex, by Harvard psychologist Richard Russell, won Third Prize at the 2009 Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest. The two side-by-side faces are perceived as male (right) and female (left). However, both of them are versions of the same androgynous face. The two images are exactly identical, except that the contrast between the eyes and mouth and the rest of the face is higher for the face on the left than for the face on the right. This illusion shows that contrast is an important cue for determining the sex of a face, with low-contrast faces appearing male and high-contrast faces appearing female. And it may also explain why females in many cultures darken their eyes and mouths with make-up. A made-up face looks more feminine than a fresh face.

Playgrounds from the 70's
I am dating myself here, but I can remember playgrounds looking like these. There was a definite space theme back then. How could you resist playing on these! Find more photos at http://www.divinecaroline.com/22111/84399-playgrounds-70-sComments [0]
