This just in: David Attenborough's
Life
is every bit as awe-inspiring as you would expect. We currently have duelling Vogelkop's bowerbirds, trying to impress the females with their artistic displays. The bird opting for a floral motif has beaten out his rival, who chose the bolder statement of a meticulously arranged pile of deer dung. (Alas, the striking dung skyline was compromised by the masses of fungi that subsequently sprouted from it.)
In conclusion, let me say that there is a fish that lives off the California coast called the sarcastic fringehead.
This is my local post office:

Normally my reaction to something like this would be "Oh that poor postal worker, what could they have possibly done to deserve that kind of treatment??" but knowing where this took place? I can't blame the guy AT ALL. It really is that bad.
Jetpack! [link]
OK, technically it's really a "ducted-fan pack".
I have dreamed of owning a jetpack since I was a kid and now it looks as if my dream might come true. New Zealand-based Martin Aircraft Company plans to produce 800 recreational-use jetpacks per year. On just 5 gallons of gas you get 30 minutes of air time. At a top speed of 55 knots (63 miles per hour) it will get you where you want to go pronto but if you plan to buy one you’d better start saving now because one of these nifty flying machines will set you back $100,000.

I suppose this fish gets tired of being asked, "Are you being sarcastic?"

Fortunately, it knows how to respond to such people: [link]
Yikes! That's a heck of a fish...

It's kind of cute with its mouth closed: [link]
The killer feature for me (which Garmin may have as well, not sure) is the thing where it shows you what lanes you need to be in to make the next turn.
The more expensive Garmin models have that, but the cheaper ones don't.
