The JustUsLeeg stays out of political conflict. We want this to be a fun webzine, a place to come to brighten up your day, make you laugh, and every now and then, talk about tech. Although, there is defiantly nothing wrong with a good political argument. If that’s what you are looking for, head over [...]

There is a movement afoot, to make Hella the new SI prefix (US) for 10^27, coming after Yotta. Austin Sendek, from the UC Davis Physics Dept. said:
“The number of atoms in 120 kg of carbon-12 would be simplified from 6,000 yottaatoms to 6 hellaatoms. Similarly, the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at [...]

This is what happens when you put a sonic boom firework in the microwave. A [...]

Bernard Pietenpol designed and built this plane (rather one like it) during the Great Depression. He called it the Air Camper, and for less than $2000 you can do it too. Plans can be found here.
Found a couple of cool vids on it too. Check ‘em out.

Hurley, New York: John Gill and Gary Arnold built this:

It can be heard from miles away, it can shoot a large squash a mile, and leaves the barrel at around 600 mph. Being a geek can be a very cool thing.

Is it a real ad, or is this fan produced? No one’s quite sure. What do you think?
