This is the craziest thing I’ve seen all day. On Thursday morning in Melbourne, Australia, a woman’s stroller carrying her 6-month-old baby slipped directly into the path of an oncoming train. The stroller and the baby were both pushed about 40 meters down the track and miraculously the baby only suffered a small bump to the head. Watch the surveillance footage from the train stop above.
Monster baby seat

Anybody know anything about this baby seat/car? I found this image over at imageR but there’s no information about it. I’d love to know if this is purchaseable or if it’s a custom project by somebody.
UPDATE: MISHKA reports that this thing was made by Elmer Presslee, the same person who created the eyeball inside the Cyco-Simon Mask that sits at the MISHKA Broadway store. It’s funny because I figured that if anybody knew who made this, it’d be the folks at MISHKA, and I was right!
UPDATE 2: John Prolly has the link to actual photos from Elmer Presslee. See below (or start here on Flickr).

Fully preserved woolly mammoth found in Siberia
April 30, 2009 @ 10:53 am
A one-month old woolly mammoth has been unearthed in Siberia almost fully intact and preserved.
The pictures are quite fascinating especially given the fact that up until now, we really have not seen a true woolly mammoth preserved in such a good state. We’ve only been able to recreate a close representation of the prehistoric animal from bits and pieces of scientific discovery.
Scientists and researchers believe that the baby mammoth, named Lyuba, died from either a drowning or suffocation in thick mud and that one of these paths led to her body being preserved very well for about 40,000 years.
Birthing simulator
April 8, 2009 @ 9:40 pm
The PROMPT Birthing Simulator was developed for multiple professional training in conjunction with midwives and obstetricians from Southmead Hospital, Bristol (UK) and Gloucestershire Royal Hospital (UK). It is an integral part of the PROMPT (PRactical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) course.
In the video above, you will see the many ways in which the PROMPT Birthing Simulator can successfully deliver a baby without any of the mess of an actual birth. Kinda making me sick just watching that baby come out so many different times.
