Link of the Day

Salmon Cannon

This video is entitled "Hydrovision 2014" or "New Fish Transport." Do not let that fool you. It is the Salmon Cannon. And there's actually a cool reason for it.

Salmon sometimes get trapped when their path leads to an uphill jump. If they don't reach their destination, they don't reproduce, so the stakes are high.

Enter the Salmon Cannon.

Is this an excuse to go SPACESHIP with "Salmon Cannon?" Of coruse. But it's also a cool idea too. Long live the Salmon Cannon. Besides, salmon and teal are in right now.

Weightlifter passes out
