Biomimicry is when people draw inspiration from nature while creating.
The McLaren design team solved a pesky aero wind noise issue they were having with their P1 hypercar by utilizing a feature of a sailfish’s biology. The car’s designer Frank Stephenson took note of how sailfish manages turbulent flow as it swims and applied it onto the support arm for the car’s mirrors.

For reference, the P1 sells for around 2 million.
Cutting noise from the mirrors when at warp speed, huh?

Who happens to be the 10-year-old (almost) grand-daughter of an old fishing pal of mine.
This in from her via him, Jan. 2nd — Octopi / puses / pusses are likely to go HUGE after one of them, some sort of Supernatural Terror, bodily and mentally possessed Sabrina in Ep. 3 of the new Season 4 of Chilling Adventures etc. She even barfed it into a bowl, I am told. Which was both gross and really cool, her grandfather was also told.
So that you people over there know as much as I do now over here.
