How to Keep a Whale from Choking: Do What He Did (WATCH)
A whale came to these boaters asking for help. He was grateful enough to pose for pictures afterwards.

When a whale found himself choking on trash, he approached some nearby boaters in Australia's Sydney Harbor to ask for help.

The whale, who had a plastic bag and fishing line stuck near its mouth, swam alongside the boats, flapping its flippers on their hulls as the people aboard tried to help by removing the obstruction.

A young fisherman, Ivan Iskenderian, finally snatched the bag during one of the passes, letting the whale breathe a sigh of relief.

Designer's Low Cost Solution for Clearing Landmines Uses the Wind

Massoud Hassani grew up in Afghanistan and played every day in nearby fields, surrounded by high mountains. His favorite toy was homemade, a small rolling object that was powered by the wind. 20 years later, his 2011 graduation project was an over-sized replica of that toy -- 20 times bigger and heaver -- created to roll on those same landmines and destroy them.
