    The Contact Voyaging Company ‘feathers’ line of paddles is a high-end line of cherry wood paddles stained and painted in colours inspired by birds of prey.  ‘It’s that moment of stillness when you paddle across a lake or inlet and you hear the cry of a hawk, osprey or eagle, that makes paddling so special to me!’ writes CVC designer Alex Jowett of his inspiration for this line of paddles.

Secret cinema found beneath Paris
In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.
When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.” (via)
