Money laundering

He's not exactly a golden goose, but something good is coming out of Augie, a 2-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog. Augie's owner, Kelley Davis of Apex, N.C., noticed something unusual in the dog's waste during a walk: digested legal tender. That's when Davis realized what happened to the $400 she thought she had lost. Unbeknownst to her, Augie had earlier rifled through one of her pockets and eaten an envelope of cash she earned from a part-time job as a physical therapist. Disgusting as it was, Davis retrieved pieces of three $100 bills and five $20s in an attempt to piece her deposit together from Augie's deposit. Her next trick: finding a bank that will accept the bills.

Picture project

What did you do in high school? These four Spanish high-schoolers took pictures of Space. For a science project, students Gerard Marull Paretas, Sergi Saballs Vila, Marta Gasull Morcillo, and Jaume Puigmiquel Casamort rigged a $60 weather balloon with a $78 camera to float 20 miles above ground and into the stratosphere. After reaching 100,000 feet, the students' balloon began loosing helium, but not before snapping off a series of dazzling digital images. The long descent back to the ground didn't damage the camera's image card. "We were overwhelmed at our results, especially the photographs, to send our handmade craft to the edge of space is incredible," Marull told the Telegraph.
