They’re going to be begin testing a helicopter taxi service at ORD next month!

A company called Eve Air Mobility is going to start trails runs of their taxi service to and from O’Hare via helicopter in September. The whole thing probably won’t be available until 2026, but they’re just getting data right now to see how it goes. If you it all does work out correctly, the commute to O’Hare could be 15 min! At a price point of $150, it’s a bit steep, but if you’re trying to make a flight and you have that kind of money- it’s not!

You might get a concussion just from watching these people go down a giant slide in Michigan

There is a giant slide in Belle Island in Detroit. They just reopened it since the pandemic and city workers swear they put wax on it to slow people down, but it doesn’t appear to be the case. People are flying down it at a fast pace, kissing any safety they might have just had at the top good bye. Watch these people take their lives in their hands on the way down! Count me out!

You probably have a doppelganger out there somewhere!

A lot of people look like a celebrity- sort of right? Brian looks like a Vince Vaughn, Justin is a Josh Hartnett, and Ali is kind of an Emma Stone. A French photographer figured out that most people probably have a doppelganger, or look-a-like. First, he had a friend tell him that he looked like a celebrity. Then he slowly realized after traveling a ton, that a lot of people look alike, even from completely different backgrounds. He’s made a special project to show his observation called, “I’m Not A Look Alike.” Since François Brunelle started this project, scientists started studying some of his subjects only to find out that they do have a lot of DNA in common. Look at these ‘look alikes’ and judge for yourself!
