The Persistent Penguin

(YouTube link)

A Cape penguin at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo has a hard time walking up a slippery slope. At first you feel sorry for him, then you start to get the idea that he's enjoying this. My Japanese is a little rusty, but I think the uploader said the little guy gave it up after about ten minutes and went to sleep. -via Arbroath

Running away is probably a bad idea. Walk briskly and you're a lot less likely to trip or go the wrong way.

I used to do model rocketry. We ignited rocket engines remotely using a battery pack wired to an ignitor, sort of like a match-head on a thin wire (all Estes products). Couldn't the same be done for fireworks?

Nice graphic. Yikes.

Unfortunately, in NY state you can't do any of this. It's either go to a fireworks display being held somewhere or get them in Pennsylvania and set them off illegally.
