Putting the FUN in refund.
Well, not a cash refund really, but this experiment in "fun theory" makes so much sense it's hard not to think of the obvious local benefit as a refund.
Floating eco-exhibit hall? I'm in love.
This proposed exhibit hall for the 2012 World Expo in South Korea floats, rises with tides, and has very little impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
"Their organic floating exhibition space is designed around the concept of adaptability, making the structure useful for many scenarios, even long after the World Expo has concluded."
Best of all, it can be sailed to other port cities after the Expo, and does away with the need to build and rebuild wasteful temporary pavilions.
Glorious Republican Christian Love
Is this amazing or what? Somehow the actual WORD "healthcare" has now become a sin.
"expecially those who have most need in thine mercy"
Wha ha ha ha ha ah ah ahaaha ahaaaaaa. Sad.
Every little step . . .
It'd be great if they could pave Times Square with these little guys . . . god knows it gets enough foot traffic to make locals insane. Maybe the energy created could power the famous signs . . . or maybe just one big sign explaining where Applebee's is, and which way downtown is . . .?
"With a minuscule flex of 5mm, the energy generating pavement is able to absorb the kinetic energy produced by every footstep, creating 2.1 watts of electricity per hour."

UN charges ahead
In a kind of "no-brainer" the UN group responsible for these kinds of things unveils an idea I had seven years ago - one charger for all phones . . . past, present and future.
"The new UCS standard was based on input from the GSMA, which predicts a 50 per cent reduction in standby energy consumption, elimination of 51,000 tonnes of redundant chargers, and a subsequent reduction of 13.6 million tonnes in greenhouse gas emissions each year."
51,000 TONS OF CHARGERS and 13.6 MILLION TONS OF GREENHOUSE GAS saved? Sounds good to me. More HERE.
Creator of Crash smites Xenu, wins my vote.
The more you know about Scientology, the freakier it gets, and one of the freakiest bits is how impossible it is to break out once you're in . . . and Paul Haggis was way in. His reasons for taking the risk associated with creating a rift between his family and this very dangerous church are pretty amazing too.
"I told you I could not, in good conscience, be a member of an organization where gay-bashing was tolerated."
That and the madness of the church telling his wife that she must cut ties with her parents . . . par for the course for Scientology . . . were the final straws. Read more HERE.
NUTS?
They're diabolical, aren't they?I feel like we're fighting an evil octopus. If only the right would put one of those slimy arms to use for the good of all instead of attacking the good works of others. . .
Obama Derangement Syndrome
"The American President just won the Nobel Peace Prize. By any reasonable measure, all Americans should be proud."
