Not really a paper modeling subject but verrrrry interesting!

DARPA contest: Find the 10 red balloons, win $40,000 : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech

It's a test of social networking sites. Wouldn't it be cool if ten members of this site shared the prize!

Let's see, a government entity that participates in some dodgy activities wants a whole passle of people to register on one of their web pages with some personal information for some sort of "research". Yeah, that's the ticket. Research.

:D

Ah red balloons they not remember back to the 80's and Nena's 99 luft balloons.. You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
With the money we got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message
"Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

"Taxes go up to ninety nine percent...."
