Fascinating view of the London tube map. Not quite sure how accurate this is. I mean, how can this 3D designer know so much about the engineering work put into the tube? Maybe it's not that hard to find out.
It's fun to see how much further down the Jubilee line is. Was that not one of the latest additions to the network?
Some impressive 3D sidewalk paintings. Must be said that some these don't look half as nice as it does at a certain angle.
I hope to see some of these on the streets of London soon.
I have always wanted to stay a night or two in these motels that we've seen so many films about. Here in Europe there are hardly any motels. Only hotels. To be honest I don't even know what the difference is. I think the word "motel" really means "motor hotel" which implies that it'd be stupid to walk to it.
Some are very futurisc, some childish, some with really nice signs, some with funny comments and some less attractive
My architectural favourite must be Olson's Motel Worst name (these days) must Bagdad Inn
How they do this I don't know but it sure is impressive. One of the coolest scenes from The Matrix animated in ASCII art.
You might need a decent sized monitor for this to look ok, but do try it
These folding instructions show you how to fold a paper plane just the same why it was done by the guy who took the Guinness record with a flight of 27.6 seconds.
You can read more about the record and if you get very impressed by all this you can request an autograph :)
This website is butt ugly and uses frames but www.paperplane.org has the frames in place.
Here's a list of the possible jobs in science such as fart sniffing, stool-sample analyser, bull/pig masturbator, etc.
There's also a hall of fame which mentions "Pre-med student Stubbins Ffirth (17841820) ate, drank, and breathed the blood, urine and vomit of yellow-fever victims (he also dropped the fluids into his eyes and worked them into cuts on his skin)."
This can't be right? Should used books be more expensive that new ones? Or is it something obvious I'm missing here.
When I searched for Elementary Fluid Dynamics it said the price new was £25.50 but that I could buy it used for £25.94. Ok, the book this seller sells is "Absolutely New - Never Been Read" but still.
What are his chances of selling his "used" book when his price is higher than that of Amazon?
One potential benefit is if Amazon is out of stock and the seller has one available.
Today when I went to www.amazon.co.uk it immediately knew who I was (without having to log in) and what I've bought recently. It then calculated how much I could make if I sold these items using the Marketplace
This a brilliant use of web technology since it's not an emulation of what can be done in a physical store. I.e. you would never be welcomed by a sales clerk in a shop who says: "Hello again Peter. Last month you bought X, Y and Z. If you want to we can attempt to sell it on to someone else and we take only a small share".
I don't know what Amazon's cut is on the profit but obviously they've taken all factors into play. They take a cut on selling a DVD, then they can take a cut on selling it again!. Plus they get all the other marketing benefits with it at the same time.
As soon as I'm bored with the DVDs I bought that I can sell I will attempt sell them using this feature.
People send pictures and explanations of funny broken things, such as computer error messages, bad road signs and challenging toasters.
Some are admittedly exaggerated but most of them are just amusing.
Makes you wonder if the album designer is taking the piss.
Make sure you notice Joyce and Let Him Touch Me.
