This article, "Maxed out: How much can we remember?" by David Robson describes exactly how many digits of pi humans would be able to remember if we weren't so... you know... lazy.
Personally, my record for digits of pi is 621 digits. The numbers in this article make that sound like child's play.

This new technology is utterly incredible. My jaw dropped upon seeing this.
The SixthSense device consists of a camera, a projector, and a mirror. It's meant to be like a necklace. The data can be projected on any leveled surface!! Pretty. Neat.

This chair, created by Japanese "interactive designer" Tomomi Sayuda, automatically photocopies your butt when you sit on it.
"This project came from "impact" brief. My initial concern was the news about a naked British streaker who jumped into the Japanese Emperor's palace moat. I was interested in the principle of the news, which is showing embarrassment without big harm for fun. For me, impact means positive and humorous reaction. I decided how to represent this principle.

Finally I came up with the idea of scanning people's bum."

Brainiac's "Things But Very Slowly" shows various common, and not so common, things on a high speed camera. I particularly enjoy the slap in the face segment.

This may look like a real Space Shuttle at the first sight, but it is actually the result of outstanding LEGO work.
Two Japanese LEGOsmiths used 65,000 LEGO bricks and 1,590 man hours to complete this LEGO Space Shuttle.
It is the world’s largest LEGO space shuttle. It even has a command center and a red countdown button!
