Jet-Powered Merry Go Round


(YouTube Link)


The Madagascar Institute is a Brooklyn-based art collective that "that specializes in large-scale sculptures and rides, live performances, and guerilla art events." The artists are especially fond of attaching jet engines to large sculptures and improbable vehicles. Most recently, they made a two-person carousel powered by small jet engines. The action in the above video starts at the 1:23 mark.

oooh lucky doggie. ^_^

Hmm now theres a thought... They have dogs trained to sniff out everything these days. I wonder if anything in a dinosaur fossil would have enough scent for a dog to track. Might be fun if you're an amature fossil hunter, a dog might spot something that the eye could miss.

i know you d with tresure and coins like Roman and bronze age stuff, but does that cover dinosaurs etc?

This will sound odd but the English channel is so littered with Mammoth bones that the fishermen have never bothered to bring them ashore as they are not thought to be note worthy.
