Eingebrannte Linsen - Rezept - ichkoche.at. 136 Creepy Wikipedia Articles. Earth album alpha - a slicker google maps + flickr mash-up. The 15 Best Speculative Fiction Books of 2010. ScienceBlogs.de - Wissenschaft, Kultur, Politik. Awesome Robo! We're a throw-away society, when we're done with something we forget about it and never return. Sewer systems, train lines and other underground locations are left to rot as we build bigger and better things on top, because who the hells cares about the history of our cities?

This new short documentary series, Crack The Surface, follows a crew of urban explorers who revisit these ignored locations and showcases the beauty of the underground world. It's amazing to see places that you wouldn't normally see, or even know of, it's something totally unique and shows the evolution of our industrialized society in a hands-on and dangerous way. If you have about 20 minutes to spare, I highly recommend you give this first part a watch, it's fantastic. Also, the groups outlook on responsibility and liability is f***ing awesome as well, because "even if the they[owners of the property] may be liable, you would be a b***" if you were to sue them.

Although much of the novel doesn’t make the strictest sense in a sociological, political and creative way, it’s still one of the greatest works of SF. 9. . | Kindle Edition 8. 7. . | Kindle Edition 6. . | Kindle Edition 5. . | Kindle Edition 4. 3. 2. 1.
