Gabe and Max, who have taught so many of us how to achieve the dream lives of our dreams using the internet, answer questions from the Bing Bong audience. Then, aliens discover Mark Frauenfelder's book, "Rule the Web."

Xeni visits a tissue culturing workshop at Machine Project in Los Angeles. Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr of the bio-art collective SymbioticA in Australia teach us how to extract stem cells from bovine bones, and grow a clump of tasty tissue, some spare ears, or a set of pig wings in a petri dish -- in just 9 short months.

Xeni introduces us to the amazing flying machines of Carl Rankin -- they're made from unusual materials, like drinking straws, tape, thread, even restaurant take-out boxes. The "Jules Verne" looks more like a clipper ship than a radio-controlled model plane. Next, you've seen claymation, but -- dough-mation? "Behold the Wonder," a short film by Ben Rodkin.

Mark's exploration of Mister Jalopy's drive-in movie theater on a bicycle starts out normal enough, but gets pretty trippy when Jalopy opens the lid. Care Bears, orangutans, and Mister Rogers all make cameo appearances. All of this magic took place at a "mini Maker Faire" during Felt Club 2007, an annual exposition of cool crap made by interesting people. When the buzz wears off, we step into the Beijing Accelerator. Rotterdam-based artist Marnix de Nijs created this immersive virtual reality experience in which a seated user rotates at the same speed as the landscape they're viewing. This, too, is trippy. Coop suggests that it be known as "Barf Barf Revolution."
