A Little Eliza Dushkleavage

I wasn’t really planning on having Eliza Dushku on the site today, or any time soon for that matter, but I had a few cocktails yesterday when I did this and I thought that using the word Dushkleavage was kind of clever so that’s how I’m stuck in this situation this morning. I guess it’s not all bad, she’s doing her best to let me look at those little boobies of hers, so I suppose I can let it slide this time. Is her job now just being a former basketball players girlfriend or is there something I don’t know about?

Bhuis / Hoogte Twee Architecten

Netherlands-based Hoogte Twee Architecten shared with us their project B(h)uis, a small pavilion built with PVC tubes. More images and architect’s description after the break. “Through the centuries architects have used small construction works to experiment with spaces of limited form, scale and extent, but also to experiment with material and details. As there’s a lack of well-equipped research laboratories, the research of material by architects focuses on potentials of existing (construction-) products in which mainly is sought for possibilities of improper use of materials. Our temporary residence is such an experiment. PVC tubes have inspired us to a design of a special object in which this material is no longer seen as a tube but as a hollow building stone.

Victoria Silvstedt Bought a New Hat

The sad part is that even if she wasn’t in a bikini, today has been so slow that Victoria Silvstedt buying a hat suddenly seems exciting. But luckily she was in a bikini this afternoon on a beach in St. Tropez, and I don’t care what anyone says, I think she might be the hottest middle aged prostitute in the entire world. It’s a controversial stand I take, but go ahead, prove me wrong.

Miroslaw Swietek Photographs Slumbering Insects Covered in Dew

I’m not that great at macro photography, but of the ones I have taken with my aging Canon G6, I’m very keen on this one – the gold beetle. Amateur photographer Miroslaw Swietek is anything but amateur when it comes to snapping close-up shots. Between the wee hours of 3am and 4am, Miroslaw takes a trip to the forest near his village of Jaroszow, Poland, and photographs slumbering insects covered in the early morning dew. Whilst the insects are in a state of torpor, which is insect’s equivalent of sleep, he using a torch to seek them out and then sets up his camera and flash right next to them. The results are nothing less than spectacular.

Droolworthy: BMW releases M3 GTS specifications

Oh yes, kids and kiddies. BMW has just dropped the juicy details on the spanking new M3 GTS. Here's the skinny: under the hood is a 4.4-liter V8 with 450 horsepower and 324 pound-deet of twist. All that muscle kicks at the rear tires via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and helps the car get to 60 mph in under 4.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 189 mph. BMW's army of Bavarian engineers managed to slim the car's weight down to around 3,373 pounds, which should make the already wicked M3 even more devilish on track. Speaking of tossing the M3 GTS around on track, BMW has fitted the car with a bolted-in roll bar as well as factory mounting points for an additional cage. While the standard three-point belts are par for the course, the race-bred German comes with six-point belts for both front occupants as well. Stopping duties fall on hefty six-piston calipers squeezing on 14.9-inch rotors up front and four-piston blocks out back.

Orbital Garbage Scow Concept Would Keep Space Clean

There's a lot of crap up there in orbit. Like, seriously, a lot, and it's becoming a problem. This concept for a space debris collection and recycling ship from artist Vaughan Ling shows one potential way of taking care of all the junk. When two pieces of space junk come together they make lots of new little baby pieces of space junk, which might sound all cute and romantic, except that if one of them runs into your space station, it's gonna blow a good sized hole in it. At some point, there's going to be enough stuff flying around up there that a chain reaction of collisions could take place, creating so much debris that Earth orbit will end up unusable.

SSC Ultimate Aero II: First Photos Of America's Bugatti Fighter

These exclusive first photos show the SSC Ultimate Aero II, the second generation of America's fastest supercar. It's gotta new look and a new mission: reclaim the title of world's fastest production car from the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. There once was a time where the American-built SSC Ultimate Aero TT was the world's fastest production car, hitting 256 mph with its 1,183-hp 6.2-liter V8. In fact, it was just a few weeks ago. But then ze Germans stepped in to steal the record with their fancy Veyron Super Sport and its 268 mph top speed. As soon as it happened the folks at Shelby SuperCars suddenly started talking about their plans for an even more ultimate Aero.

Great White Shark Amazes Scientists With 4,000-foot Dive

A great white shark known to frequent New Zealand waters has given new meaning to the term "Down Under." Scientists revealed that the 15-foot shark they've named "Shack" probed to 1,200 meters, or 3,937 feet, as it traveled across open ocean. Malcolm Francis, principal scientist in charge of the tagging study, is calling this "the world's deepest great white shark dive record" and said it extends the predators' known vertical range by about 600 feet--which is substantial given that great whites, until fairly recently, were regarded as coastal predators. If placed into perspective Shack might as well have been swimming upward into outer space: That's how bizarre the marine universe is at the depth to which the shark delved.
