A passenger talks about crash landing on the Hudson River

Ric Elias had a front-row seat on Flight 1549 as it crash-landed in the Hudson River in January 2009. What went through his mind as the plane went down? Watch this video and learn the 3 things he learned in those short moments before he thought he would die. I could not imagine the horror.

The bicycle double standard

Minneapolis is consistently ranked as one of the best cities for bicycle riding. Now that the weather is getting warmer, people like me who prefer to drive to work will soon experience the double standard that is bike riding in Minnesota.

The Lions Mane jellyfish

The Lions Mane jellyfish (shown here) is the largest known spices of jellyfish. They measure about 8 ft in bell diameter. The largest known specimen was around 120 ft in length (longer than blue whales). These jellyfish live in the boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. Pretty cool huh? I have been told that pictures 1 and 3 are Namura jellyfish. More on the Lions Mane Jellyfish here.

Taco Bell ad publically shames those who tried to sue them

I think it’s great that Taco Bell didn’t cower with the threat of a lawsuit regarding the quality of their beef. Instead, they fought back and defended their company and their food. Fast food is under attack in this country. Just look here, and here, and here. Taco Bell is one of the few that has the guts to fight back.
