What a trillion dollars looks like.
Ten amazing DIY projects.
Photos from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal.............
A hermit crab in a glass shell.
Exploding refrigerators.
Windows did not shut down successfully - in front of 75 thousand people.

Let's Don't Do Lunch
I have been sending the links I find interesting each week to a select group of friends, but thought that I would also start posting them here.
Enjoy!
No, I don't think I'll be dining there.
Normandy 1944 - Then and Now. An interesting collection of pictures showing locations in Normandy immediately after the 1944 invasion and at the present day from approximately the same perspective.
George Orwell's diary, presented as a blog. A personal perspective on the start of WWII.
Strange, and sometimes creepy, photo manipulations.
Power 'staches.
1965 IKEA Catalogue. This is from kottke.org, which often has interesting links. Sometimes, opinions with regards to fonts (man, I hate that word) can get nasty.
What's the word? Thunderbird! The history of the Gallo brothers. While we're at it, how about the classic Orson Welles Paul Masson commercials.
Energy Sprawl - Unintended consequences always dog 'do good' efforts. Technical and information dense, but worthwhile to at least read the abstract. It all has to do with energy density.
