Google is truly a wondrous thing, and possibly the only big corporation which seems to be constantly doing things for the betterment of humanity rather than the betterment of its coffers.

Russian Radio is bad-ass.

And I'd hate to see the time it takes this train to get from 0 to 60mph. They probably have to rate it in minutes.
