For those of you that enjoy a good photoshop-ed picture, you might want to check out the following contest at Worth1000.com. Contestants are supposed to recreate something modern using pics of old versions of the technology. For instance, the guy with a wanting an ipod in the past… you get a phonograph strapped to your belt with what could loosely be discribed as headphones.

Populations Clocks
Just in case you were wondering how many people your competing against for that next great job, boyfriend/girlfriend, or just exactly how many Jone’s there are to keep up with… Here is a fun little Population Clock maintained by the government. One surprising thing on this site is that the U.S. is actually the 3rd biggest country (population wise) in the world… I mean everyone knows China’s #1 and you may have heard India’s big as well but U.S. #3 – Top 10 sure, but #3…
If you’re a fan of Thomas Robert Malthus, I would warn against hitting the refresh button on this page… Otherwise, enjoy watching the population swell.

OCD Art
A few of you out there should really enjoy this latest exhibit. Finally a chance to take a break and not have to clean/organize/fix everything! (and don’t get me started on Modern Art…) ;)

Sure, this was built as a huge toy for the American people’s amusement BUT what about it’s potential militarily? OK, tanks and attack helicopters are highly effective combat vehicles, but the enemy has trained for such and will be dug in to resist them. Now imagine showing up with your tanks, helicopters, troops, and your 40 FOOT FIRE BREATHING DINOSAUR!! That thing starts ripping cars in half somewhere near the real fighting and that has GOT to increase the desertion rate of your opposing troops.
