Archaeologists Find 5,000-Year-Old Door
10/21/10 -- Amazing
“Archaeologists in the Swiss city of Zurich have unearthed a 5,000-year-old door that may be one of the oldest ever found in Europe. The ancient poplar wood door is ‘solid and elegant’ with well-preserved hinges and a ‘remarkable’ design for holding the boards together, chief archaeologist Niels Bleicher said Wednesday. Using tree rings to determine its age, Bleicher believes the door could have been made in the year 3,063 B.C. — around the time that construction on Britain’s world famous Stonehenge monument began. “The door is very remarkable because of the way the planks were held together,” Bleicher told The Associated Press. Harsh climatic conditions at the time meant people had to build solid houses that would keep out much of the cold wind that blew across Lake Zurich, and the door would have helped, he said. “It’s a clever design that even looks good.” The door was part of a settlement of so-called ‘stilt house’ frequently found near lakes about a thousand years after agriculture and animal husbandry were first introduced to the pre-Alpine region.” w/ photo

Cool New Tool Freezes Fat Away
10/21/10 -- Wacky News
“For a lot of women, it can be hard to lose that extra bit of weight around the midsection after having a baby. “No matter what you do, you can’t get rid of that extra bulge,” said Jessica Sanders, mother of two. After having two kids, Sanders tried diet and exercise to get rid of that extra pinch of fat, but nothing worked. Now, she’s trying a new procedure at Westlake Dermatology that doctors said freezes the fat away. It’s called CoolSculpting. The machine sucks in the problem area and freezes it down to 38 degrees. That decreases the fat cell by 25 percent.” w/ photo + video
Music Made With Bees
10/21/10 -- Pretty Cool
“I wanted to see how far I could take the recordings of bees into the realm of music. The bee produces about 200-230 wing flaps pr. second, which is enough to generate a nice, rich sounding buzz. I recorded a bunch of bee sounds and manipulated them through a variety of tools (including timefreezers, delays, filters, glitch modules etc). I then decided to add some more human elements to it (vocals, guitars, grooves etc) and wrapped it up by adding full symphony orchestra and choirs on it during the end.” — t0nehammer
