(PopSci.com) -- When Mercedes-Benz began to contemplate its next generation of high-efficiency small cars, it sought aquatic inspiration.
But instead of considering obvious undersea hot rods like sharks, the Mercedes team turned to a fish that resembled a car: the tropical boxfish.
A native of the Indo-Pacific region, the Ostracion cubicus is surprisingly slick.
Wind-tunnel testing of a clay model revealed a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.06, startlingly close to the ideal 0.04 of a water droplet.
Like the droplet, the boxfish's face is small in proportion to its overall length, and its streamlined surfaces encourage air to move over it without creating the turbulence that robs aerodynamic efficiency.
Mercedes' Bionic concept vehicle mimics this functional form.
With a Cd of just 0.19, the four-seat Bionic is significantly more slippery than today's most aerodynamic production vehicle, Honda's two-seat Insight (Cd 0.25).
The design team eschewed expensive, complicated and heavy fuel-cell or hybrid powertrains, opting instead for a 1.9-liter four-cylinder direct-injection turbodiesel that pushes the fishmobile to 62 mph in 8.2 seconds with a combined city/highway fuel economy of 70 mpg.
At a constant 56 mph, the concept car will return an amazing 84 mpg.
Although the Bionic isn't coming to your local dealership, Mercedes does expect it to significantly influence the design language of its next generation of small cars.

I had this custom set made for my collection. I sent the artist some box scans from my Kenner versions to complete the project.

I am calling Diane the Bionic Woman now. She walks SO FAST!!! Team DMV started at the same time and Diane finished 14 MINUTES before Mark and I did. She is amazing!

I can't wait for Christina's brand new album!!
Here's my cover for the album supposed to be called "Bionic." Hopefully there are hot dance songs and the usual big vocals from Xtina.

Who knew my days and nights with the continuous glucose monitor on top of the insulin pump would be a cycle of temp basal up, correction bolus, bolus again, temp basal down, suspend & repeat everyday all day. I really do feel like I'm on a roller coaster constantly & I hate roller coasters. But I'm not complaining it's better to know than not know where my numbers are.

Pulled out my Bionic Taco Punch t-shirt for girls night last night. Up loaded the design to my Zazzle storefront www.zazzle.ca/bionic_taco_punch_photo_plaques-20072523144...
The brain is a fascinating organ. For hundreds of years, scientists have been studying our brain to find out how all our conscious and unconscious functions are controlled, how we feel and perceive, think and decide. Fantastic apparatuses have been conceived to learn more and more about the way the brain works, with varying success. Just as in other technological fields, many new developments have taken place in neurology recently. Measuring devices have become more precise, new methods of visualization have been invented, and work can be targeted at ever-smaller cellular structures. It is even possible to communicate with coma patients and attempts are being made to tackle diseases like Alzheimer’s and solve the great mysteries of intelligence and consciousness.

In January 2017, we took our first Royal Caribbean cruise aboard "Anthem of the Seas". Anthem was the newest and largest ship we've ever been on. Like all modern ships, she was built to provide a lot of options for cabins, dining, entertainment, relaxing, and just plain fun things to do.
We especially enjoyed watching these robotic bar tenders doing their thing. Watching them "shake" vs "stir" a drink was pretty comical.
Again part of the 3 gen lot...the dress I recognize as Bionic Woman...but is the pantsuit hers? Does anyone recognize it?
Lili Ledy Bionic Woman in Wards Exclusive Fashion by Mego. Mego made a line of fashions exclusively for Montgomery Wards. The fashions were for TV stars, such as Cher (Sonny & Cher show), Farrah (Charlie's Angels) and the Bionic Woman. This is one such fashion. They were sold in groups of 4 fashions via the Wards Christmas catalog on as individually carded fashions in the Wards department stores.
Note: Lili Ledy also produced Mexican verions of the Mego WGSH line. Note that the Lili Ledy version of the Bionic Woman has Mego style arms.

Volvo F86 LWD16P
Out of action since 1994 after service with R. Johnson and Son.
On its second cab, it has moved around the yard a few times but is generally as it left service (apart from the added secondary ventilation.....)
When R. Johnson ceased operations in 2001, this lorry was kept for future restoration.
If anyone is interested then it could do with a new home......
The cab is rusty but the engine runs -
