Thursday Things

Fifty greatest matte paintings - yeah, it's a list, but it's got some weird and wonderful stuff. And Hitchcock was an absolute master of showing things that weren't there, it turns out.
Tailsitter Aeroplanes - as with anything in the early Cold War, completely and utterly insane.
Last house on Holland Island - since fallen into the sea. Reminds me a bit of the Brighton West Pier...
Giant cross-section of ITER tokamak - currently under construction in the south of France.
Bonus Cuddly Robots of DOOM corner:
- Ping Bot - tiny robot which scuttles around a table, beeping curiously - before releasing a tiny knife-missile which plunges through your sternum.
- Yellow Drum Machine - samples its own beats tapped out on its surroundings, then samples your own screams as it burrows through your skull.
