TRAPPED!

Poor Mark! Trapped and doomed to die on a cranberry bog! The horror! Well, not so much. I mean, you can't really get trapped on a cranberry bog.

In Tech News, a personal helicopter designer from Japan is going to fly his one-man chopper over da Vinci's hometown in honor of the artist and inventor who first proposed the idea of the helicopter. The GEN H-4 goes for about $55 grand and designer Gennai Yanagisawa hopes one day the vehicle will be used by the masses the same way people use a scooter.

And here are two articles about a new way to generate power by having multiple wind turbines strung along a tether.

And finally, actor John Phillip Law has passed away at the age of 70. Law starred in "Barbarella," among many other films. My favorite is the ultra-cheese fest and MSTie-able "Diabolik!" which was based on a comic book of the same name.

That's all for now. Be sure to check back on Sunday for the Full-Color Sunday Funnies, and hopefully I'll have a new podcast ready by then too.
