Portable Zombie-Resistant Shelter | buzzbrewery.com. It’s Not Just Another Day. Home / Pink Floyd's the Wall is one of the most intriguing and imaginative albums in the history of rock music. Since the studio album's release in 1979, the tour of 1980-81, and the subsequent movie of 1982, the Wall has become synonymous with, if not the very definition of, the term "concept album. " Aurally explosive on record, astoundingly complex on stage, and visually explosive on the screen, the Wall traces the life of the fictional protagonist, Pink Floyd, from his boyhood days in post-World-War-II England to his self-imposed isolation as a world-renowned rock star, leading to a climax that is as cathartic as it is destructive.
From the outset, Pink's life revolves around an abyss of loss and isolation. Equilibrium free from life's emotional troubles. As with most art, Pink Floyd's concept album is a combination of imagination and the author's own life. Note [David Gilmour] Of course mama's gonna help build a wall.

All That Is Interesting - The First Zombie-Proof House. Somehow, ritual drunk-conversation concerning team captains for the apocalypse has become a major part of the lives of 20-somethings. Having been matured in the Grandaddy-crowned masterpiece film (put “A.M. 180” on and forget that you have a job) 28 Days Later and the best-selling Zombie Survival Guide, we’re all a little too ready to deal with the 2012 zombie apocalypse of our dreams. “The Safe House,” designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily close to something I could work with, if say 200 bludgeoned members of the undead army came over to eat their way into borrowing some sugar. “The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security,” begins the designers’ website in the summary of the structure. Who wouldn’t feel safe in a concrete rectangle that folds in upon itself to become completely sealed?

The Quest For Every Beard Type | Jon Dyer's Blog. I’ve been growing a beard every winter for some years now, and every spring, I try to see how many facial hair variations as I can check off from the chart of facial hair types.

From the mythological tale of Daedelus, who fashioned wings for himself and his son, Icarus, to the rocket science-inspired jet packs of the 20th century, people have been dreaming of personal flight since the beginning of time.
Now it seems that dream has actually come to fruition. The world's first practical, consumer-ready jet pack is finally here. It's called the Jetlev-Flyer, and it can now be yours for the modest sum of £110,000 ($179,155.90), according to the Daily Mail. It also works a bit differently than you might imagine. Here's how it works. Since it is water-powered and designed for flight over water, the propellant is abundant and free. The engine itself is a 4-stroke, and the flight controls are simple, light and intuitive, according to the Jetlev-Flyer website.
It looks like something straight out of a James Bond movie, and its developers hope it will inspire a new generation of water sports. A Passion For Beards (Inforgraphic) Beards-full.jpg (JPEG Image, 3000x709 pixels) 7 Weird Micronations of the World. A micronation is a tiny, self-proclaimed sovereign state. Though they claim sovereignty and are often not interfered with by larger government entities, they are not recognized as official independent states (which sets them apart from microstates like The Vatican or Singapore.)
There are any number of reasons someone may start a micronation: as a joke, as a form of art, for protest purposes, as a political or legal experiment, or even to conduct criminal activity. Often times a strange legal quirk (or outright loophole) gives these micronations a unique legal status. Some of them are hilarious. Some of them are interesting. Most of them are, in their own way, bizarre, unique, and strange. 1. Size: 0.00055 km2 Population: 27 (2002 estimate) Ruler: Michael Bates Sealand is probably the world’s most well known micronation, and this is probably because the stories behind it are bizarre and truly intriguing. 2.

Located on the thin Curonian Spit that splits the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea, lies one of the strangest natural phenomena on Earth. Known as the Dancing Forest by caretakers of Curonian Spit National Park and as the Drunken Forest, by locals, this unusual pine forest is made of trees of various shapes, most of them twisted in circles and spirals, along the ground. According to tourists, the Dancing Forest looks more like a site near Chernobyl, with 20-year-old pines tied into natural knots and loops, like lumpy contortionists. A few years ago, the park manager invited students from local universities to conduct studies, and get to the bottom of the mystery. Since then, several theories emerged, including one suggested by a psychic who said the forest is located on a spot where massive amounts of positive and negative energies collide.
Others say the causes are geological, that it must have something to do with the unstable sandy soil. [Photo Credits] [Photo Credits] [Photo Credits] Welcome to Strangeusa.com! Rock, Paper, Cynic: a webcomic for the unimpressed. Wind turbine from The Power Collective Ltd. The New NIMBY-Defeating Wind Turbine – CleanTechnica: Cleantech innovation news and views.
Clean Power Published on October 23rd, 2009 | by Chris Milton October 23rd, 2009 by Chris Milton Wind turbines? Dontcha hate them! Horrible things going round-and-round. Roundandroundandroundandround. Then there’s the NIMBY neighbours: “Oh, we don’t want one of those here,” they say. Well blow me down, it can!! Ridgeblade is a fabulous wind-turbine solution from UK based The Power Collective. The blades are about the same length as a medium wind turbine, so you can catch about the same amount of wind. So revolutionary is this approach that the company has won $750,000 from the Green Challenge Awards. “It’s beyond a dream,” said Power Collective CEO Dean Gregory when Skype founder Niklas Zennström announced him as the winner. This is the right kind of innovation, one which will bring a community together to provide energy together on a collective scale, rather than relying upon some far away power station to provide the same for a profit.
Let’s hope it succeeds. About the Author. Building a Robotic Dalek Pumpkin. We Evil Mad Scientists like Halloween. A lot. You might have already seen our old-school Cylon Jack-o-lantern. Here is another halloween electronics project, hopefully in time for you to make your own: It’s a radio-controlled robotic Dalek that can move around and turn its head. Oh, and did I mention that it’s a pumpkin? Here’s the victim, a standard size grocery-store pumpkin with a nice thick mottled skin. You might also see that it tapers down slightly; it’s slightly wider at the top than the bottom. I went to a local junk shop and picked up two heavy rubber wheels, which will be the drive wheels.
We need a total of three motors; two drive motors and one to rotate the head. For the platform, I took a large and blank printed circuit board and cut it to shape. The wheels were glued to the round servo horns on the outputs of the two motors. Here is the radio system. The receiver and the three servo motors are powered by four AAA batteries.

That's because he has converted the cellar of his five-bedroom house into Britain’s biggest domestic aquarium. The 37-year-old, who lives in the Carlton district of Nottingham, has created a private underwater world in the basement of his five-bedroom home, filled with exotic species usually only seen in such far-flung corners of the world as the Amazon and Congo. The tropical haven, complete with viewing window, lies directly underneath the living room of Jack's red-brick Edwardian property.

I'm a real lovebird: Meet the penguin with a heart-shaped breast. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 14:31 GMT, 8 March 2011 While most of us might wear our hearts on our sleeve, this little chap shows it off in just the right place. He is an Emperor penguin chick whose change of plumage into adulthood was brrrrrilliantly blessed by Mother Nature. The white heart-shaped patch on his chest is a natural formation due to the moulting of his feathers.
Big-hearted: The baby Emperor penguin, frozen in time, with a unique heart-shaped plumage on his chest. It was pictured by award-winning photographer Sue Flood in the Antarctic The baby penguin is blissfully aware that not only is he the focus of a heart-warming image, but that he is also literally one in a million too. Award-winning photographer and wildlife film-maker Sue Flood said that in the 20 years she has been taking pictures in the Arctic and Antarctic, and on more than 30 trips to the frozen plains, she had never picked up such a penguin phenomenon.
