The New Look of Combined Tricerosaurus and Helicopter

Have you ever seen a tricerosaurus and a helicopter combined in one? It's not a character of transformers but a true art that an animal and a helicopter combines in to one look, it's called Triceracopter.

This prehistoric, post-Vietnam political war statement was sculpted in clay over a Vietnam-era U.S. Army-spec OH-6 Cayuse helicopter, then covered with fiberglass by renowned and controversial artist, Patricia Renick. Behold the mighty Triceracopter. Or as we dub thee -- TriceROFLcopter.

Created in 1977 for her solo exhibition at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center and fully titled, 'Triceracopter: Hope for the Obsolescence of War," it has recently been put up for public consumption either by a 'qualified museum, institution or individual.' We can see the perfect location in our house for the mighty Triceracopter now -- just have to ask the misses if it's okay first.via

Slegoons – A Sledge-Type Crafts for Snow Covered Slopes

I want to careen down snow covered slopes, and I want somebody beside me when I do it! I want to bounce around, then continue down the hill upside down. I want to Slegoon!


Slegooning is a new winter sport in which participants travel down a snow-covered slope in single person sledge-type crafts, called Slegoons, in full-contact races. They can continue even when overturned.


The Slegoon won first prize in the UK IOM3 Design Innovation in Plastics competition 2003, and has received international press, from magazines like Blueprint and Design Week.via
