Emma Stone Is A Sexy Little NumberI’m not sure if anyone else has noticed, but this Emma Stone chick has really stepped up her game. I thought she only played dorky chicks in kid movies, but after seeing these pictures of her outside the Letterman studios in a sexy little lace up dress, I think she can do more than that…. Like girl-on-girl softcore porn. I’m kidding, I’ll take anything that involves nudity. |
The Defiant Squatter Squirrel Who Has Commandeered A Nesting BoxMoving into your own home is usually a good excuse for a party. But once this creature had squirrelled away his nuts and seeds, there was only one guest invited to the housewarming – his mum. Christine Haines, who watched the baby grey squirrel take over the bird box in her garden in Spokane, Washington, U.S., believed he was ‘calling for his mother’ to visit when she caught him on camera. The baby grey squirrel was looking for some shelter and came across this box complete with a perfect look-out hole for him to poke his head out of. And he was so pleased with his new abode he smiled straight at the camera as a sharp-eyed resident spotted the fury squatter in her garden. |
Paz Vega in a Bikini ShoweringIt’s been said that Paz Vega is the new Penelope Cruz. We’ll bite. Apparently, many are talking Vega-Cruz because Vega is now the new face of L’Oreal, a spot Cruz herself once held. Hey, you learn something new everyday. Details: Spanish actress Paz Vega certainly showed off winning form during a holiday break that is certain to be Not Forgotten. The glamorous Seville, Andalucia beauty recently won the contract to be the face of L’Oreal in Spain from her rival Penelope Cruz. And it was plain to see why as the gorgeous 35-year-old showed off her curves in a skimpy black bikini. |
Westland Michigan Mud Festival Lets Kids Play DirtyThis festival certainly isn't good, clean fun. A mud festival in Westland, Mich., let kids play dirty on July 12. Children ages 12 and under had a chance to frolic in the muck at Wayne County's 2011 Mud Day, held at Hines Park-Nankin Mills Area, according to MyFoxDetroit. The 24th annual Mud Day drew more than 1,000 kids -- not to mention 20,000 gallons of water and 200 tons of topsoil, The Detroit Free Press reports. Thankfully for parents, the fire department hosed kids off afterward and handed out bags for muddy clothes, according to WOMC. |

T-Shirt-Shooting A10 Warthog Monster Truck Is Everything Right With AmericaThe Air Force's latest recruiting tool is a Cadillac Escalade-bodied monster truck designed to look like an A10-C Thunderbolt Warthog, complete with a t-shirt-shooting Gatling gun. Wasteful? Yes. Overbuilt? Yes. Awesome? Oh hell yes. God Bless the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Air Force outreach project launched earlier this year and, like the Army with its Hummers and climbing walls, involves outreach mostly at sporting events. And in case getting blasted by t-shirts out of the nose of a monster truck wasn't persuasive enough, they're handing out ringtones that sound like the the actual 30-mm gun on the A10. Epic. And because it's Escalade-bodied, it truly is the Cadillac of monster trucks. |
3D Milling Machine Made From LEGO PartsArthur Sacek doesn’t just play with LEGO bricks. He makes functioning machines. It gets fancier. He builds machines that are actually 3D printers. Watch how the milling machine is used to print a 3D face in the video after the jump. |
Dressed to Kill: The 1954 Kaiser DarrinThe short-lived, fiberglass-bodied Kaiser Darrin was perhaps the most distinctive product of Henry Kaiser's decade-long adventure in Detroit -- it was also one of the last. This week, we look at the birth and death of the Kaiser Darrin, the origins of the Henry J on which it was based, and the final collaboration between the great industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and dashing automotive designer Howard A. "Dutch" Darrin. We talked at length about Henry Kaiser's career in our earlier article on Kaiser-Frazer, but a brief recap seems in order. Originally from a small town in upstate New York, Kaiser had risen from very modest beginnings to become an industrial titan: builder of the Hoover Dam; architect of a formidable shipbuilding enterprise; founder of the pioneering Permanente Health Plan and clinics (known today as Kaiser Permanente); the list goes on. In 1945, at the age of 63, Kaiser decided to try his hand at the auto business, launching the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation in partnership with Detroit veteran Joseph W. Frazer. Together, they leased the massive Willow Run bomber factory near Ypsilanti, Michigan, and tried to take on Detroit at its own game. |
Scientific American’s Top 10 Cities for TechnologySeattle is the best city for technology, according to a statistical analysis by Scientific American. The cities are researched for their technology opportunities then scored and ranked in three categories. Though Seattle came out on top overall, other major metro areas fared well in all categories, too. In order to rate cities on their technology access and geek friendliness, Wired magazine combined several factors, including stores that sell tech gadgets, availability of free wireless Internet access, technology jobs, highly ranked engineering schools, and the presence of an “active geek community.” The magazine concluded that the list above constitutes America’s “top tech towns”. |
