Mezcal -- a Mexican restaurant in nearby San Jose -- serves grasshoppers. Whales and birds eat these things. They say the most sustainable way to eat creatures, if you eat them at all, is by dining at the bottom of the food chain. It's a massive paradigm shift: Raised on steak, facing a dung-beetle future. The rich and powerful have always eaten whatever is rare, expensive to farm, difficult to breed and hard to catch. But we might all be fighting over roadkill by 2050, according to a new UN report.
Released last week, the report warned of mass starvation as a skyrocketing human population threatens to overbalance an already fragile environment. Fire up the krill. Thing in a Jar.

Patient TN was, by his own account, completely blind. Two consecutive strokes had destroyed the visual cortex of his brain, and consequently, his ability to see. It is not uncommon for stroke patients to suffer brain damage, but the case of TN — referenced by his initials, the general practice in such studies — was peculiar. His first stroke had injured only one hemisphere of his visual cortex. About five weeks later, a second stroke damaged the other hemisphere. Known as selective bilateral occipital damage, TN’s unusual injury made him the subject of much interest while recovering at a hospital in Geneva. To further test the extent of TN’s abilities, researchers from Tilburg University in the Netherlands devised a simple yet decisive experiment: an obstacle course.

Easily the coolest elevator I’ve ever been on in New York: Here’s a full panorama looking toward the rear of the elevator (that’s a railing beneath the mirror)… …and a reverse pan showing the front: Lining the ceiling are these great monster heads made out of mechanical bits… Each is poking through its own hole: More characters, including a king: Another character: The elevator is a last remnant from when the former Macy’s warehouse building catered to a more artsy clientele.

Create Your Own Snowflakes on zefrank. 1-Year-Old Girl Goes Shopping in Japan. “Hajimete no Otsukai” (First Errand) is a Japanese TV show that follows small children as they carry out errands for their parents.
Past specials have featured kids traveling across town to buy ingredients for their mom’s kitchen and a small boy riding a bullet train to visit his father’s workplace. Usually, the kids are about 4-years- old, and sometimes an older child will be accompanied by a younger sibling. Last week, they aired a special that had their youngest-ever solo errand runner. Little Haru is one month shy of second birthday: Haru’s task is very simple: go down the block and buy some tofu.
Japanese people do not regularly send such small children out on errands. Haru also has the advantage of living in one of Japan’s safest places.
