Rachel Bilson And Her Little CleavageYou know it’s a good day when I’ve got pictures of my favorite cutie Rachel Bilson out on the town in a little dress. They’re not the hottest pictures I’ve ever seen of her, but she’s doing her best to impress me with a little cleavage so I give her an A for effort. I can think of a few ways she can turn that grade into an A+. It involves a few water pistols filled with baby oil, a couple of supermodels, a trampoline and Heidi Montag’s new boobs. Good times. |
Amazing Art Sculptures Made From Recycled ClothingArtist Derick Melander creates large geometric structures from carefully folded and stacked second-hand clothing that weighs between five hundred pounds and two tons. What seems like a straightforward process – procuring the clothing, sorting it by colour value, folding and stacking it – soon takes on a life of its own. Thousands of once loved and lived in pieces of clothing can’t be discarded that easily. Look at the images above, for example, showing the 2008-installation “The Ocean is the Underlying Basis for Every Wave,” an “S”-shaped wall of folded and stacked clothing sorted by colour. A total of 2,908 garments were used, weighing 1,859 lb. |
Screw You, MasonI've never wanted to punch a baby or jack off to a picture with a baby in it before, but I guess Mason Whateverthefuck should have thought about that before his aunt had the best body I have ever seen. I was going to save these pictures to my hard drive, but I really don't feel like registering every time I leave the state. |
The Animal Kingdom’s Most DecoratedEspecially in spring, the beauty of nature is hard to escape. Everywhere you turn, you seem to see the pretty colors returning and the life coming back into the world. All the animals and plants around us look beautiful these days. That being said, there are still some over-achievers out there trying harder than everyone else to brighten up the world. And, as always, extra effort deserves recognition. |

Ferrari Takes Wraps Off New 599 GTO, Quicker Than An EnzoWe've seen the spy shots. We've even seen the options list. Now Ferrari has officially taken the wraps off its new performance benchmark, the 599 GTO, ahead of the car's official debut later this month at the Beijing Motor Show. Sort of a street-legal stepping point between the production 599 GTB Fiorano and the track-only 599XX, the 599 GTO evokes the famous Gran Turismo Omologato designation made famous by the legendary 250 GTO of the 1960s and the muscle-bound 288 GTO of the 1980s. That's quite a legacy to follow, so it's a good thing the 599 GTO brings the goods. Output from the 6.0-liter V12 – itself derived from the Enzo's engine – is up from 612 horsepower to 661, with torque up a modest 9 lb-ft to 457. Coupled with a 195 kilogram (430 lb) weight reduction program – now tipping the scales at 1495 kg (3295 lbs), the leaner and meaner 599 can sprint to 62 miles per hour from a standstill in a scant (and very specific) 3.35 seconds, with a top speed in excess of 208 mph, while lapping the Fiorano test track from which its donor's name is derived in a blitzing 1 minute, 24 seconds. That's faster than the Enzo, people. |
The Sad State of Biosphere 2, Sixteen Years LaterBuilt in just under four years and completed in 1991, Biosphere 2 was intended to study five areas of the natural biomes, their agricultural area, and to observe our living/working space. Specifically how we interact with each other under such confined circumstances. Unfortunately the research was never completed. One view of Biosphere 2 was that it was “the most exciting scientific project to be undertaken in the U.S. since President John F. Kennedy launched us toward the moon”. Agricultural was an on obvious and critical focus of Biosphere 2. It was planted over the course of a year before closure, and biospherians managed their farming and harvesting of food grown inside once enclosed. |
Aston Martin Gauntlet Concept CarThe Aston Martin Gauntlet Concept is the latest in Ugur Sahin’s designer vision for world class cars. The Aston Martin Gauntlet brings together the One-77 and the DB AR1 by Aston Martin, together with Sahin’s perspective on what these cars could, or should, be. |
Whole-Tree Building: How to Craft Super-Natural Eco-HomesThe effect is astonishing: by using the natural shape of trees rather than milling them into dimensional lumber, the resulting architecture becomes organic and lifelike as if it were a living, breathing and growing structure – though correspondingly more difficult to construct, each custom branch and trunk needing to fit somehow in with the rest. |
