I keep reading news stories and commentary about how excessive cell phone usage is harming us. I was confused until I saw this video by Japanese inventor Kazuya Shibata. Now I understand the concern: it's easy to drop a cell phone on your face if you use it while lying down. And we have a solution from Shibata: the automatic face shield.
The build video is in Japanese, but I gather that this 3D printed machine automatically deploys the shield when an object passes through motion sensors. It's the kind of genius innovation that we've come to expect from Shibata, who previously changed modern life with his automatic shirt flapper.

[from page 2 of the article] "The fish and its unborn offspring probably fell victim to rapid depletion of oxygen in the water, settling to the bottom of the sea where they were gently covered in layers of silt-like mud that hardened over time, according to the scientists."
hah.
And how would oxygen be depleted THAT quickly... almost a split second? It would be gradual... surely the fish wouldn't still be attached to its mother...
Since they only guess at the age, we can only laugh at their guess.
