...and they look like a certain mouse:

Quote from: "ahecht on MiceChat"
QuoteA special-effects entrepreneur from Alabama has come up with a way to fill the sky with foamy clouds as big as 4 feet across and shaped like corporate logos — Flogos, as he calls them.

Francisco Guerra, who's also a former magician, developed a machine that produces tiny bubbles filled with air and a little helium, forms the foam into shapes and pumps them into the sky.

The Walt Disney Co. will use one of the machines next month to send clouds shaped like Mickey Mouse heads into the air at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., Guerra said.

There are a few pictures of Mickey flogos at http://www.flogos.net/projects.html


Whatever next? :roll:  :mrgreen:

Wow, they should do that in DLRP too! We are leaving for WDW tomorrow so I guess they will not be ready yet but I think it's a wonderful idea!

I'll keep looking up in the sky just in case they started with it already!

I wonder how they're made. I can imagine something with the shape of a Mickey head, but other corporate logo's might be harder to do?

QuoteScientists Find Way to Tattoo Butterflies
 
Our culturally non-deprived brother blog Table of Malcontents notes that American scientists have figured out how to tinker with the genetics of butterflies so they can be tattooed: "By using a laser to stencil a design on the surface of the butterfly's wing, these scientists can create fluorescent brands and markings."

 My immediate thought was: Oh, those poor butterflies are going to end up with tattoos of hearts emblazoned with "mom" or indecipherable Japanese characters.

Others -- well, at least a British reporter -- are thinking advertising, a la the butterfly in the image at the right.  

Meanwhile, Table of Malcontents noticed a disturbing detail:

In an interesting display of scientific irony, a butterfly was fluorescently tattooed with a silhouette of another butterfly. Meta!
