Friday Unrelated Information

1. This article in the NY Times made me smile: A 67-year-old trying to set a new land speed record essentially bought a JET and put wheels on it. He'll be the driver when they try to set the record--800 mph.

2. Did you know Audrey Tatou (of Amelie) is starring as Coco Chanel in a new French movie? I will have to see that. For now, you can see the trailer here--with subtitles provided by a high-school student of French. (The official English trailer isn't out yet.)

3. Here is Toby in a bag. Just because.

That Times story is awesome! I love these tales of (essentially) backyard tinkerers gearing up to do something nobody's ever done... did you ever see the movie The World's Fastest Indian? If not, I highly recommend it...
