The Zombie Safe House Competition is an annual competition that challenges architects and designers to create the ultimate safe house for a zombie apocalypse. The winners for the 2nd annual competition were announced earlier this month: The Gold Shovel 1st Prize went to the Vagabond Mobile Safe House Device, a collapsible zombie shelter by Austin Fleming. The competition is supported by Architects Southwest.
“One of the more unusual (but still fascinating) exhibitions at Bletchley Park is all about the role pigeons have played in the First and Second World Wars. Aircrews used them as rudimentary black boxes, writing their coordinates on a message and releasing the pigeon if they had to ditch or crash land.via Retronaut
There was also a cull of birds-of-prey all along the south coast during World War Two to ensure the pigeons could get back safely.”
