Wasp Sucking machine. This one gets filed under "ok, now what?" It's remarkably similar to the Bee Vac I posted a while ago, but I must admit the plexiglass window for "showing off your catch" cranks up the awesomeness index.

Stereoscopic Images of Lighter Than Air Flight.
Instructions for viewing are here, although I personally find freeviewing to be very difficult, so I'd add the suggestion that you could save the images, swap the left and right images, and view them crosseyed, or use a program such as Stereo Photo Maker to generate anaglyph images for red/cyan 3d glasses. The best way, though, is to use a viewer, even an inexpensive plastic one.

Found via this set of photos on Flickr including shots of the Skinner Unaflow engine.
