Hmmm, for some reason, I can't seem to stop linking to old stories as though they were new. Actually, I'm pretty sure Stephen wrote something about the super-fuel-efficient car back when it was actually news, but I can't find the link.

So this gives me the chance to do one of two things:

1. Wax philosophical about how there is a persistent "nowness" to the web, evocative of a timeless, eternal existence currently beyond our ability to grasp.

2. Link to some new stuff.

Obviously, item one is my preferred approach, seeing as it allows me to divert attention from the issue at hand with a healthy dose of going on and on about something, but I have to get over to Home Depot this morning to pick up about a half ton of wood bark chips to spread out amongst the rose bushes. Seriously cuts into my available waxing time. So with that in mind...

Look, everybody! Battery-powered airplane!
