This weekend, one of the odder events in the history of Harriet Island takes place in St. Paul.
During Flugtag, teams attempt to fly themed human-powered flying machines. They are launched off a pier about 30 feet high. None of them fly. They all end up in the drink.
The "teams" applied for entry by submitting videos. I don't, actually, know what to make of any of them.
