Belen Rodriguez is One Button Away From Providing the Picture of the Day

Damn that well-sewn button! Argentinean WAG Belen Rodriguez was rocking a tight button-down shirt and showing off her long legs yesterday at a television-type event. What the event actually was for doesn’t really matter. What matters is that we get to see some sexy WAG action. The best part is the back of her shirt. Someone needs to convince her that the back of her shirt is actually the front! Get on that, fella. If anyone out there can do it, it’s you. So get on that for us, please. Check out the leggage on Ms. Rodriguez. One word: brilliant.

Horrifying Moment A Small Business-Owner Sets Fire To Himself Outside Bank

A man has set himself on fire outside a branch of Piraeus bank in the northern Greek city of Tessaloniki. The man was heard to shout out that he was in debt as he carried covered himself in petrol. This was not the first time this particular man has taken such drastic action, according to local police. Apparently this was the third attempt by the unnamed 56-year-old-man to harm himself in this way. Police said he had also set himself on fire and suffered burns 15 months ago, after complaining he could not pay back the debts from his failed business. Police used fire extinguishers to put out the blaze and the man was been hospitalised after the attempt, with non life-threatening chest burns. Cost-cutting measures in Greece have caused a host of business failures and record employment and the country is now in its third year of recession. It's finance minister said today he fully expects the country to stay in recession during 2012.

Gillian Zinser Bikini Pictures Bring the Savage Sexy

Gillian Zinser is a sextastic star on the rise, first coming of hot body age in 90210, now on the set of the Oliver Stone film, Savages, filming some scene in a bikini top, flashing her slender, but stellar body. I love it when a new crop of hotties comes on the scene, not to replace the old, for we lust the veterans, but to enhance the entire sexy celebrity team.

Spectacular Shots Above and Below the Sea

Get ready to pack your bags! Let's take a trip and seek out some clear waters where we can capture shots like this. Called over-unders, split-shots, or just splits, this photographic technique helps you see both what's inside the water and outside of it at the same time. The lens (usually fisheye) is positioned half above the water and half below the water. If you're inspired to try this out yourself, you can find out what gear you'll need along with some useful tips at the Underwater Photography Guide and Dive Photo Guide. Here, then, are 20+ photos that we hope you'll think about the next time you're planning a vacation. How amazing would it be to bring home pictures like this?

Pontiac El Catalina Safari Is Discovered, Restored and Re-revealed

Our friends at Hemmings Classic Car magazine found a real beauty this time. Appearing on the cover of the October issue sits a Pontiac pickup truck that’s both ahead of its time and a shining example of the glory of the 1960s. Straddling the two worlds of cars and trucks — a la the Ford Ranchero and Chevy El Camino — the Pontiac El Catalina Safari has the DNA of the El Camino and Pontiac Safari station wagon. Author Matt Litwin gives a wonderful history lesson for those less versed in all things "hybrid" as he explains the roots of this modern-day retro concept vehicle. With the help of four separate restorers and three Safari station wagons, this Pontiac prototype finally got restored into the custom one-off you see here. Check out the full story about the restoration and the history of car-based pickups in the late '50s and early '60s at Hemmings’ site. There’s a reason that they don’t make them like this anymore.

Real Life Tatooine: One Planet, Two Suns

NASA has discovered a real life Tatooine: a planet that orbits two different suns. But there’s unlikely to be anyone there who can save the universe. The planet currently has the rather humdrum working name of Kepler-16b. That’s Kepler after the observatory-fitted spacecraft that’s on a three-year plus tour of part of the Milky Way, with the 16 coming from the number astronomers have assigned to the two stars. NASA had already logged the two stars, which orbit in a way that each can eclipse the other from the Earth’s vantage point. However, it became apparent that the brightness of the system containing the two stars dimmed even when there was no eclipse. That suggested there was a third body in play. Closer study showed that the dimming events took place at irregular intervals, meaning the two stars were not always in the same position, in turn meaning the third body was orbiting both stars. It also means the body experiences a double sunset at the end of its day.

Lotus Evora GTE Confirmed for U.S. Sale

It’s billed as the most powerful Lotus ever made. Based on the brand’s Le Mans racing car it’s also the most hard core. And now you’ll be able to buy one, in America! Speaking with Ian Fry, platform manager for the Evora at Lotus Cars Limited at the car’s unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show, he confirmed that the 444-hp street legal race car will be homologated to U.S. standards and could be on sale in as little as six months. Exactly how Lotus plans to do this, is still uncertain says Fry, indicating that it may be offered as a modification kit to the standard Evora in order to get around certain regulations.

Riding On A Zeppelin, The Next Best Thing To Time Travel

If you've met any steampunk cosplayers in the last five years, odds are good they described themselves as the crew of an airship. They're wrong. The crew of a real airship look a lot like tanned Californians who forgot to borrow shoes other than flip-flops when they raided a flight attendant's closet. There's no brass, no grime and no gears. Instead, it's the best flying experience since the romance of air travel in the 1960s. The Farmer's Airship, operated by Airship Ventures, normally flies a set route from California to Seattle. To the delight of both air and tech enthusiasts nationwide, the zeppelin is currently in the middle of a six month cross-country tour. I had an opportunity to enjoy a flight when it docked in St. Louis.
