At the very least, you probably know how to separate your fingers into the iconic Vulcan salute and offer up a "Live long and prosper."

Just outside Hiroshima, Japan, in the town of Kure, there's an odd sight: a submarine almost as long as a football field, up on stilts. Amid the buildings with no water in sight, the sleek black and red shape couldn't look more out of place. It's the Akishio, a former submarine of the JMSDF, or Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

If that weren't enough for the area, across the street is the Kure Maritime Museum which, among other interesting objects and displays, houses an amazing 1/10th scale replica of the massive Yamotobattleship. It was the largest battleship ...

Open up Google Maps on your phone and, depending on where you are, you'll see some streets, some buildings and a blue dot. That blue dot is you, in "YOU ARE HERE" form. When you move, it moves. The dot is helpful when you're walking around outside, but if you're indoors -- in an airport, a mall, or even a conference venue, like I am today -- you might as well be in no-man's land.Google wants to change that with something called Tango.The initiative, previously called "Project Tango," is Google's ambitious plan to map the indoor world. Google Maps is already wildly popular, with more than 1 billion users. But whereas Maps is a cartographer's dream on steroids, Tango isn't conceed with streets...
