Courteney Cox Refused Body Double For 'Cougar Town' Strip

Courteney Cox refused to use a body double when she stripped off for her TV show Cougar Town - insisting the public needs to see "real" women over the age of 40. The former Friends star takes on the saucy role of an older woman who becomes embroiled in affairs with much younger men in the series. In one of the episodes, Cox's character shows off her stretch marks and arm fat and the actress insisted filming the scene herself - because she wants to highlight the body issues facing older women. However, the 45 year old admits the scene stunned many of her friends, especially her former co-star Jennifer Aniston.

Brilliant Buses of Central America

Growing up in the US we all recognize the familiar big yellow school bus that we rode every morning as kid. You might have heard about some hippies painting the bus and riding around the country, but rarely do you actually see such a bus. But in Central America painted school buses are pretty common and all kinds of people ride them. Usually known as Chicken Buses, some travelers will tell you to avoid them, and some will encourage you to take advantage, but in the end it really comes down to what kind of traveler you are. Not only are they cheap, but they’re a great way to have a front seat to the culture in Central America. Chicken buses are especially common in Guatemala and Panama, but can be found all over. Even if you never want to ride on one of these buses, you have to admit the look pretty cool.

Sophie Monk Sure Can Pick a Sexy Bikini

Here's large-breasted Australian "actress" Sophie Monk showing off her bikini-choosing skills. As you can see, this particular bikini offers lots of under boob cleavage, side boob cleavage, sexy string-type action, and other hotness. So, it's good to know that Sophie's got some career options to fall back, since, you know, she sucks as an actress.

Abandoned Airfields, Airports, and Airplanes

Air travel has become a major part of our society, with industries and individuals depending on air transport for their livelihood. But have you ever wondered what happens to the artifacts of our airborne culture when they’re no longer needed? In many cases, they’re simply abandoned and forgotten.

In the Continental Style: The 1961-1963 Lincoln Continental

Although Lincoln's earliest cars were dismissed as homely, in the decades to come, it would spawn some of the most respected and memorable designs in the automotive industry. This week, we take a look at one of Lincoln's finest stylistic achievements, the elegant and understated Continental. When Henry Martyn Leland first conceived the Lincoln automobile in 1919, he declared that his goal was to build the world's finest motor car. Astute readers will note that he said nothing about building a beautiful car.

Color Rubik Cube For The Blind

The last Rubik Cube that we saw on Yanko Design had textures as tease for the visually challenged; this current iteration uses only Braille. Colors embossed include green, blue, red, yellow, white & pink. One of the more sensible concepts in a long time that hopefully will delight the sighted folks too! Maybe we’ll learn Braille in this process!

Ford Goes Back to the Future With Focus EV

Electricity really is the ideal form of propulsion for the automobile because it is clean and quiet. They knew this at the turn of the century, but the problem was batteries and range — that was the main concern back then and it is the main concern people have now. Most of the major automakers, from Audi to Volvo, are working on electric cars, and we’ll see the first of them on the road at the end of this year. So electric cars are nothing new. We used two electric Ford Focuses to race around the track on my TV show. I’ve also got my own electric car. It’s quite advanced, it goes 100 miles on a charge and it’s fully electric. And it was built in 1909.

How I’d Hack Your Weak Passwords

Note: This isn't intended as a guide to hacking *other people's* weak passwords. Instead, the aim is to help you better understand the security of your own passwords and how to bolster that security. If you invited me to try and crack your password, you know the one that you use over and over for like every web page you visit, how many guesses would it take before I got it? Let's see… here is my top 10 list. I can obtain most of this information much easier than you think, then I might just be able to get into your e-mail, computer, or online banking. After all, if I get into one I'll probably get into all of them.
