Black Solar Pyramids To Power Homes?
02/01/11 -- Pretty Cool
“The pyramid is getting an update for the ecotastic age. A clutch of artists has unveiled a conceptual scheme to build nine massive, solar power-generating pyramids smack dab in the middle of the Abu Dhabi desert. And, this being the 21st century, naturally they’re done up in tres chic black. Move over, Giza!… As for its function: At its most basic, Lunar Cubit is a smattering of power plants covered in frameless solar panels that together produce enough energy for 250 homes.” w/ photos
Lucky Climber Survives 1,000 Foot Fall
02/01/11 -- Amazing
“A climber who plunged 1,000 feet from one of Britain’s highest mountains — and walked away — is promising to climb Mount Everest later this year. Adam Potter, of Glasgow, went home Monday, just days after he slipped on an icy patch off the summit of the 3,589 foot Sgurr Choinnich Mor in Scotland. The 35-year-old tumbled down the steep slopes on Saturday, flying off cliffs. Rescuers found tattered bits of his clothing and equipment on outcrops stretching from the top to the bottom of the mountain. Astonished rescuers found Potter standing up reading a map when they arrived. Convinced he was not the victim, they flew to the summit where Potter’s fellow hikers were waiting. “But my mates pointed downhill… and that’s when they realized I was the actual casualty, even though I was up and moving around,” he said. Though he had broken his back in three places, Potter is still able to walk and was discharged from a Glasgow hospital.” w/ photo

“Making the pie was impossibly easy, as the name states. So easy, I was able to read People magazine as I made the pie. Of course, I normally read Proust or Thomas Pynchon when I cook, but mild tabloid fare seemed just right with this recipe… here’s how to make a mac & cheese cheetos pie.” w/ photos

Top 10 Johnny Depp Movies
02/01/11 -- Top Lists
“His signature brand of sexy cool exists both within and outside the roles he plays onscreen and has a lot to do with his iconoclastic, ‘bad boy’ status: he dropped out of high school to pursue his rock band ambitions, only incidentally stumbling on-screen with that part he landed on 21 Jumpstreet. That was only the result of his latent, yet intrinsic ability to ground himself and naturally become another person. But who is this man really, beneath the leather arm cuffs and fedoras and intricately-constructed layers? We all want to be a little closer to Johnny Depp, even if the only way to do so is to watch his movies. Here are ten of his best.” w/ videos
