Those wacky Japanese, even in space you can count on them to come up with something out of the ordinary. :D

I wonder what else is going on in that ISS up there... when nobody's looking?

    Gravity isn't important. As far as the boomerang is concerned. The coming back part that is. Not that the boomerang is capable of having a concern. As I understand.

    I would have guessed it did.

    While the Japanese are goofing around with origami, have a look at this little marvel of engineering: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww"]The BigDog Project[/URL] (Batteries included, no assembly required.)

    If you are scared now, wait until it's fitted with automatic guns and rocket launchers.

    Was it the science fiction writers who said at some were around 45% our machines will turn on us and kill us?

    That video has been doing the rounds at work recently. It reminds me of something out of Halflife 2.
