Mike Harding has created a website called Coffee By Week to track his coffee consumption through the end of the year.

You can click on each day of the week and see how many coffees he’s had. Mike also tracks the total of cups of coffee and how much he has spent on coffee which has so far totaled over $1000 for 199 days. I’m afraid to even begin tracking my own coffee consumption habits because I feel like they’d be greater than Mike’s.

According to FlightAware, the status of US Airways flight 1549 — the same flight that crashed today in the Hudson River — is that it has arrived at its destination. I guess it’s half-right, since it also lists LaGuardia Airport as the origin and destination, even though North Carolina was the real intended destination.

And if you look down at the bottom of the FlightAware page (screenshot above), you’ll also see that the plane was only flying for 6 minutes in total before going down.

US Airways on the other hand has simply listed the flight as ‘Status Exception’ and included a phone number for those who may want to call to inquire about family members.

Chicken head tracking

November 20, 2008 @ 10:57 pm

Wow, I had no idea that chickens could keep their head so still while the rest of their body moves all over the place! It doesn’t even matter if the chicken is being moved around by some other kind of force or if the chicken is moving its body on its own, that head just stays in place no matter what! [via]
