Alessandra Ambrosio Goes Ass Up for Victoria's Secret

It's Good Friday, and even though I'm not Catholic, I'm still taking advantage of the long weekend. But don't worry, I didn't forget about you. And to prove it, here are some damn sexy pictures of Alessandra Ambrosio sticking her ass up in the air for Victoria's Secret. Of course, I might have to reconsider my whole stance on religion. I don't know which one's responsible, but you've got to admit, Alessandra Ambrosio's ass is definite proof God exists. And he's a dude.

Manchester’s Spectacular(ly Deserted) Victoria Baths

Very often city bosses are quick to bulldoze deserted buildings that stand on prime locations. But thankfully that is not the case with Manchester's spectacular Victoria Baths. Closed since 1993, the incredibly intact interior and Edwardian-era styling make the baths a photographer's dream. The internal features are mirrored in their elegance by the Victoria Baths' outward design. Built from red brick - used prominently in Manchester and across the north west of England - punctuated with terracotta decoration, Victoria Baths evokes the grandeur of Victorian/Edwardian architecture, seen in hotels, swimming baths, railway stations and other public buildings of the era. At the time of construction in 1906, Manchester had one of the wealthiest municipal coffers in the world.

Marla Maples Went to the Beach

Wow, can you believe Marla Maples is 46? She looks amazing. Can you imagine Lindsay Lohan's body looking this good in 23 years? Actually, yes. It depends on what kind of formaldehyde the mortician at the funeral home uses. lol?

Scouting an Abandoned Hotel in Southern California

Whenever I see a sign like the one below hanging outside of an abandoned property, I immediately feel an intense desire to get inside. When such a sign is hanging outside an abandoned hotel built in the early 1900’s in Southern California, that urge goes through the roof. Luckily, I’m not alone in my nuttiness. Since starting this website, I’ve corresponded with a number of fellow abandoned aficionados. One contact in particular, who must go nameless for the post, wrote me a few months ago to ask if I’d ever heard about a now-forgotten abandoned hotel in Southern California. I hadn’t, and asked him to send me some pictures. When I saw them, I was absolutely floored. The hotel, which opened in 1917, closed its doors in 1939 and has been boarded up ever since.

Ford Focus RS500

Tell someone you've got a car which can hit 60 mph in under five and a half seconds, and then cannon itself on to a 165 mph top speed, and most people will think you've got either a top-end German saloon or a decent sports car stashed in the garage. Most normal people won't jump to the conclusion that you're rocking a Ford Focus. There's good reason for that too, as there's only plans to produce 500 examples of the Focus RS500 - so it's going to be a rare sight. A damn sight rarer than the legions of fast Audis, BMWs and Mercs which seem to litter the motorways these days. The Ford Focus RS500 isn't just a special edition with a fancy name and an extra badge either. Well it is that too, but it's also had some work done to the engine which boosts power output by a useful 15 percent over the standard Focus RS model.

Microvision Lets Others Sample Its PicoP Laser Display Engine

We're guessing that if you haven't bought a pico projector by now it isn't because they're just too big, but Microvision is doing its part to help make 'em smaller nonetheless. The company has begun initial shipments of its PicoP Laser Display Engine, found inside the Show WX, for other companies who want to make their own projectors -- or rifles. The circuitry that's half the size of the tech in competing pico projectors while still managing WVGA (848 x 480) resolution and a 5000:1 contrast ratio. No word on cost but we're guessing there's a discount if you buy in bulk, and shipping ought to be cheap.

Scrap Car Hits The Scrapheap

A car as long as a double-decker bus made from the scrap of other vehicles has been crushed as part of a promotion for a car makerin the UK. The one-off scrap car has itself been scrapped to make a statement about the British new car trade-in scheme. The UK Government’s Scrappage Scheme – which saw generous incentives offered to new car buyers who were willing to trade in their eight-to-10-year-old vehicle to be scrapped – is drawing to a close, but despite the Government pulling the plug on the scheme, some manufacturers are now offering their own trade-in system.

Almost Genius: A Carpet That Transforms Into Furniture

By necessity, the Japanese have an intuition for space-saving design that shines in their products and architecture. But this concept might be one of the cleverest we've ever seen. Created by Shin Yamashita, a student at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, Land Peel is a foam floor covering which also has panels that flip up and fold, to become any sort of furniture you might need: From a table, to a backrest, to a drink tray, to a footrest, to a pillow.
