Cool bit of naval engineering here: The SB Met, built by Norwegian company Offshore Sensing AS, reached the finish line of the Microtransat Challenge for robotic boats on Aug. 26, two and a half months after setting off from Newfoundland…. link PS I'm surprised that I ninja'd Gunfreak on this story! |

I think they should say "intentionally" cross the Atlantic, as I'm willing to bet that small abandoned boats have made the trip as current-carried and wind-blown flotsam. But an impressive feat, and one with a lot of potential, too. |

With refined navigation abilities, I can see lots of potential for making even bigger oil tankers! And, if designed with the right trap corridors, the "robots" on board might welcome the opportunity to give pirates a short ride before flushing them out as shark bait. :) Dan |

I haven't seen anything about it in Norway.
But I did see an article that Norwegian scientist have found out why time perception is fluid in the brain.(it has a funny picture of rat wearing a brain scanning hat thingy) |

Is it because of small worm holes? |
