Revealed: WWII’s Secret Sewing Needle Bomb

During World War II, British scientists developed a new and extremely lethal secret weapon: a bomb which released a cloud of sewing needles, tipped with deadly poison.

Each dart consisted of a hollow steel needle with a paper tail. The tip of the needle was filled with toxin and a dense ‘inertia pellet’ above it. When the needle struck a target, the pellet kept going and forced the toxin out of the needle. Breaking the skin was enough to inject a lethal dose.

A Seven-Year Old Boy’s Top Secret LEGO Plans

Seven-year-old Quaid Guarino has been in the news lately for something we can’t tell you about. Well, sort of.

Quaid’s a fascinating kid: he has a budget for LEGO bricks and goes bargain-hunting on eBay, and has built Star Wars replicas on his own, among other things. He owns piles and piles of LEGO bricks and 400-piece sets are a cinch for him. But what got him into the news is something a little more unique. In March, Quaid came up with a “totally new way” to play with our favorite plastic bricks. Not only that, but he Googled “LEGO,” sent them an e-mail—and the president of LEGO responded! He’s since signed a contract with LEGO and is in negotiations, so he’s not allowed to say what his new discovery is.

What do you think, dear readers? Leave your ideas in the comments … or better yet, send an e-mail to the president of LEGO and maybe you can get a contract, too!

Secrets of a nimble giant

Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, thinks size should help. "It's important for people to realise that you should benefit from the scale - if you're not benefiting then you're doing something wrong, and might as well break up into lots of little things.

"We have been gradually embracing the idea that once you're successful, we give you much more latitude," says Brin. "Somebody who has a success under their belt has really demonstrated accomplishment and in that case we will give them generally more liberty.

Brin talks about intuition

I would call it, and a certain kind of intuition. People may or may not have that kind of intuition

The most well-known Google initiative for encouraging innovation in-house is its "20% time" strategy, which has almost become an innovation cliché.

80% of an engineer's time is spent on the day job and 20% pursuing a personal project

It has to be the right idea and have good taste, but the execution and delivery are what's key."

The Worst Hotel In The World

Imagine for a moment if you were the marketing director in charge of a considerably seedy backpacker hotel in Amsterdam.

For Hans Brinker Budget Hotel in Amsterdam, the right strategy was exactly the opposite: embrace their awfulness and talk about it honestly.

The solution, reasoned Hans Brinker's agency KesselsKramer, was to lower expectations to a point where people could no longer be disappointed. Thus the concept of the "worst hotel in the world" was born.

The campaign has turned the property's biggest negative attribute into the only reason for people to stay. And it has worked, with a 42% increase in occupancy. Their success has even led to a newly launched book. What's the lesson in this for travel marketers? Sometimes being honest and giving people something to talk about is the only thing that really matters.
