Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
This dolphin-shaped boat appeared in Wired’s NextFest in 2005 but I’d not seen a video of the boat in action until today. Much of the boat was made from discarded pieces of figher jets. Check out Innespace.com to read more.

Kudos to the guy who thought up the dolphin boat for emulating one of nature’s most hydrodynamically correct designs, but is the world ready for such a watercraft? Secondly, is it Greenpeace approved? (Just kiddin’!)You have a great mag!
