Video: The Magic Helicopter
It's not really magic. The camera filming the helicopter is doing so at the same frame rate as the main rotors, or something like that.

Sony Floods Miami With Foam
For Sony's latest TV advert, they have flooded Miami with foam.
The “Foam City” was created last month (lots of info here) across several blocks of Miami using the world’s biggest foam machine, capable of producing 2 million litres a minute.
Streets, shops, car parks, trucks and people were all covered.
The seven-day shoot involved a crew of 150… and an estimated 460 million litres of foam.
Some 200 locals used Sony Cyber-shot digital stills cameras, Handycam camcorders and α digital SLR cameras and their images were uploaded onto an online database.
A 60-second advert launches in Europe today, while a 90-second advert will appear on British TV screens on May 1.
All photos on this page are taken from the official Sony site. There are lots more here.
Videos
Here's the 60-second version of the advert.
The Telegraph also has some behind-the-scenes footage.

Video: The World’s Largest Shotgun Shell?
A seriously cool video showing what is probably the world's largest shotgun shell.
From Field & Stream:
This video shows what must be the world’s largest shotgun shell: the 120mm canister round designed for the cannon of an M1 Abrams tank. The 50 pound shell contains 1150 .40 caliber tungsten pellets launched at 4500 fps, with an effective range of 500 yards.
What’s fascinating to me is that you can see clearly that the shot charge of the canister round behaves exactly like a load of shotgun pellets. As the round leaves the muzzle, the pellets at the front of the pattern encounter air resistance and begin to peel off and fall behind the main charge, opening the pattern and forming a shot string. The pellets to the rear of the shot column draft behind the leaders, retaining velocity and moving to the front. The canister flies with the pattern for quite a ways (our light plastic shotcups have petals that open open and slow the cup quickly). Eventually, though, the poor aerodymic shape of the canister causes it to slow down, and you can see the trailing pellets catching up and passing it in flight.

Real-Life Superheroes
10 people with 'super-human' abilities including Liew Thow Lin from Malaysia who has the ability to make things stick to himself.
He says that he discovered he had the amazing ability to make objects stick "magnetically" to his skin, and now he's added car-pulling to his repertoire. After reading an article about a family in Taiwan who possessed such power, he says he took several iron objects and put them on his abdomen, and to his surprise, all the objects including an iron, stuck on his skin and didn't fall down. Since this "gift'' is also present in three of his sons and two grandchildren, he figures it's hereditary.
Read about the other 9 here (w/ pics and videos).

7 Incredible Natural Phenomena
7 incredible natural phenomena including the mysterious Catatumbo lightning.
Located on the mouth of the Catatumbo river at Lake Maracaibo (Venezuela), the phenomenon is a cloud-to-cloud lightning that forms a voltage arc more than five kilometre high during 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours a night, and as many as 280 times an hour. This almost permanent storm occurs over the marshlands where the Catatumbo River feeds into Lake Maracaibo and it is considered the greatest single generator of ozone in the planet, judging from the intensity of the cloud-to-cloud discharge and great frequency. The area sees an estimated 1,176,000 electrical discharges per year, with an intensity of up to 400,000 amperes, and visible up to 400 km away.
