Cool



These items might not have the cultural gravitas of squished pennies, but I find them cool. I'm talking about camera trucks and bitter beer.

In a real-life version of Transformers, there's a truck that's also the world's largest pinhole camera.

Obviously a giant camera needs giant rolls of film. The cameratruck uses sheets
of photographic paper cut from huge rolls measuring 100cm x 30m. These sheets
are taped up inside the truck prior to taking the shot.

Summit Brewing celebrates 20 years with a special edition ESB (extra special bitter). Maybe there is a God and maybe she wants us to be happy, because that's one tasty brew.

Cheers.
