'Car-in-a-bag' created in Japan

A motorised transporter the size of a tablet computer has been developed by a Japanese engineer.
The WalkCar can reach a top speed of just over 6mph (10km/h) and can support riders weighing up to 120kg (265lbs).
Inventor Kuniaki Sato said the device was designed for recreational use as well as for business.
He told Reuters: "I want to show the world that Japan can also be innovative."

Mr Sato is hoping to secure crowdfunding before the gadget can be mass produced.

Decoding the symbols on Satan's statue

Image
A controversial statue unveiled by the Satanic Temple at a secret ceremony in Detroit has attracted protests. But who is the goat-headed figure? And what do the elements of the statue symbolise? The bronze statue is nearly 9ft tall and depicts a winged hermaphrodite known as Baphomet, flanked by two smiling children. It cost $100,000 (£64,000) to make and hundreds of Satanists turned out to see it unveiled. Long term, the Satanic Temple wants to move the piece 900 miles (1,450km) south-west and erect it opposite a Ten Commandments monument outside Oklahoma City's Capitol Building. The Baphomet will "complement and contrast" the Christian commandments which include "unconstitutional prohibitions against free speech and free exercise of religion," according to the organisation.

Beware of that ponmo meat (Kanda)

O n a hot afternoon at the popular Oluwa ni Sola Food Canteen at Osho­di, Lagos, Babatunde Samuel settled down at the table to rel­ish his bowl of Amala which was generously drowned in gbegiri and ewedu soup. His prefer­ence for ponmo (cow skin) rath­er than beef and assorted meat as observed on most of the ta­bles in the canteen set him apart from other customers who were equally enjoying their meals at the time. He was indeed on his own world with three well round­ed rolls of ponmo and a piece of lean meat. None of other the eaters customers who preferred to go for meat and smoked fish could claim to have enjoyed their meals than he did. Babatunde is probably one among Nigeria’s millions of finicky eaters.
