Bay Bridge troll need not fear the scrap heap

Not I, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin, said Bay Bridge Troll, er, Toll Oversight Committee spokesman John Goodwin. "Why, that would, at the very least, cause one or more individuals to turn to stone, heap upon us countless years of poor harvests and perhaps even bring down the locusts," he said. The 18-inch fierce-looking steel troll that blacksmith Bill Roan sculpted, and iron workers surreptitiously placed on the old span in the wake of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, is firmly welded to Bay Area's heart and lore. It even has its own Facebook page and a designated impersonator, if you will, in a replica set to go on public display Sunday at the Oakland Museum of California.

The Bay Bridge Troll replica is on display Aug. 29, 2013, at the new "Year of the Bay" exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California in Oakland. "That's so not gonna happen," she said.

German inventor Julius von Bismarck refers to his potentially very disruptive brainchild as an “image fulgarator.”

Projector Disguised as Camera Flashes Images Into Others’ Photos

The verb, “fulgurate,” means, “to flash or dart like lightening.” According to Herr von Bismarck, himself, it works like this: Technically, the Image Fulgurator works like a classical camera, though in reverse. In a normal camera, the light reflected from an object is projected via the lens onto the film. In the Image Fulgurator, this process is exactly the opposite: instead of an unexposed film, an exposed and developed roll of slide film is loaded into the camera and behind it, a flash. The upshot?
