This is a bit of old news, but old news is still better than not blogging at all at this point, eh?

A Swiss company Rinspeed has built the first car that can functionally operate on land, on water, and under water. It's amphibious and submarine. It's called the sQuba.

This car is amazing in other ways, too, however. It's a zero-emission electric car that can do as high as 77 mph on the highway, which is in itself unusual. It also utilizes nano-technology, being constructed from carbon nano-tubes making it much lighter than other cars its size without sacrificing strength in the materials.

And all this from a country which is generally known for its hole-filled cheese, morally flexible banks, and yodeling. Nah, we don't need to worry about American students' math and science scores, do we?
