Apparently it's Bizarre Technology Day. I wish I could use the picture of the shark jet (it's exactly what it sounds like), but it won't let me.
A Dutch inventor has started work on his next project - a cow drone. Bart Jansen is best known for turning his dead cat Orville into a drone. His next flying venture aims to see humans riding on their animals in the sky. "If I'm going to fly, I want to fly in something weird. So we've been thinking about animals that are big enough to fly in. We have a cow at the moment - it's at the tannery right now. It's going to be like a bovine personnel carrier, but airborne."
Mr Jansen, who describes himself as an artist, has turned rats, sharks and ostriches into flying drones and even made a badger submarine.
"Describes himself" is tactful.
"It's not going to look like dear old Ralph or much beloved Pebbles. Orville is not the same cat he was when he was alive. He looks very different."
On account of being dead and turned into a helicopter, methinks.
