Scientists Discover The Oldest, Largest Body Of Water In Existence--In Space Scientists have found the biggest and oldest reservoir of water ever--so large and so old, it’s almost impossible to describe. The water is out in space, a place we used to think of as desolate and desert dry, but it's turning out to be pretty lush. Researchers found a lake of water so large that it could provide each person on Earth an entire planet’s worth of water--20,000 times over. The water is in a cloud around a huge black hole that is in the process of sucking in matter and spraying out energy (such an active black hole is called a quasar), and the waves of energy the black hole releases make water by literally knocking hydrogen and oxygen atoms together. The official NASA news release describes the amount of water as “140 trillion times all the water in the world’s oceans," which isn’t particularly helpful, except if you think about it like this. That one cloud of newly discovered space water vapor could supply 140 trillion planets that are just as wet as Earth is.
What were you raised by wolves? Mark Essen The Creators Project: So what’s your background? Did you grow up as a kid who was so into video games you felt compelled to create them? Mark Essen: I grew up in La Cañada outside of LA and, yeah, I played games in high school and just continued through college and started using them as my work. I started making games in school. Your games tend to include only cursory gameplay instructions. Well, I usually include controller instructions—if it’s not really obvious then I’ll say what the buttons do. Tell us about what you’re working on at the moment. I just finished this small project for an exhibition in Liverpool. That sounds like it’ll be keeping you busy for a while, Do you have anything else cooking? We have jetpack basketball [laughs] and a bunch of half-finished things. Childhood and nostalgia seem to be recurring themes in your work... Yeah, maybe… I stopped playing a lot of the “new” video games after high school. I use Game Maker entirely.

Life on the mini mean streets: Sculptor puts New York cityscapes under the microscope to produce incredibly detailed dioramas Updated: 06:58 GMT, 29 April 2011 New York City - with its crowded sidewalks, creeping, honking traffic jams and endless streams of awe-struck tourists - can sometimes feel a little claustrophobic. In the world created by Alan Wolfson, New York is even smaller... to a mind-blowing degree. The 62-year-old artist creates handmade miniature sculptures of Manhattan street scenes, down to the finest of detail and complete with complex interior views and lighting effects. For scale: A $1 bill lies on the pavement to show how intricate Alan Wolfson creations are. This is a detail of Peepworld (2007), which is 17in x 22in x 26in New York in a box: Peepworld shows the grotty and grubby streets of New York in the 1970s. Room with a view: A detail of Times Square Hotel Room (1982, 13in x 18in x 20in) shows not only the neon and vice of the outside world, but the lonely life of a writer Canal Street Pizza: Some of Wolfson's work is taken straight from real life and real locations.
Pictures of Cats & Wild Animals In Trapped Weird Places So a while back we showed you animals riding other animals . Now we bring you (drum roll, please) Cats & Wild Animals Trapped Weird Places! You never know where an animal is going to show up. Actually, for most of us, that is totally not the case, since we don’t generally let our dogs climb out of second floor windows, and I bet you don’t even know anyone with a buffalo. Elephant trapped in a Hole Some might ask how this elephant got in this hole. Cow stuck in a Pole This one really makes you wish you could hear the thoughts of animals ala Dr. Alligator (or Crocodile?) Man, Avon is really getting desperate for new reps. Boar-ing Kitchen At least they had the foresight to put the trash cans on the counter where the (wild boar?) Buffalo in the Room I’ve heard about the “elephant in the room,” but I guess the elephant is in a hole, so this is the next best thing. Carlisle the Cat the Amazing Contortionist Trapped And for my next trick…. Other Cats in Places Guess it’s time to turn the heat down.
Reconstructed Cake Faces These Reconstructed Cake Faces are made by artist Ashkan Honarvar . In a series he calls ‘Faces’ Honarvar uses existing pictures of soldiers who suffered mutilations to their faces during the first world war and reconstructs the suffering these soldiers had to endure. You might like: DIY Succulent Pallet Table | Far Out Flora Max with the new Succulent Table. Can you believe that our latest DIY project was once just a couple of junky pallets and some scrappy table legs? Crazy…if I didn’t have photos, I wouldn’t believe it myself. Not too long ago, we whipped out a coffee table sized succulent table out of an old shipping crate. The pallets. First bit of advice, deconstructing pallets are a big pain unless you have the right tools…and our hammer and wall scrapper wasn’t quite doing the trick. Couple good planks. Love the scares of time left on these chunks of pallet wood. Attaching the legs. After pulling apart two pallets, we used the 2 x 4 sized boards to make a rectangular frame to attached the appropriated table legs. Dry run for fittings. Like TV magic (and 2 days later), the table was more or less put together. Megan with some semps. After a weekend of slivers and sweat, we finally got to plant this baby. Getting messy. Packing them in. Yeah, we didn’t hold back on jamming them. Succulents playing together.
Most Popular Artists The most popular artist searches last month: a not-to-be-taken-too-seriously measurement of which famous artists have the greatest "mindshare" in our collective culture. Moving up: Edgar Degas (#22 to #12), Titian (#28 to #18), and realist painter Janet Fish (appearing for the first time on the list at #29). Moving down: Joan Miro (#13 to #19), Wassily Kandinsky (#11 to #24) and Paul Gauguin (#21 down to #32). How we measure popularity: In order to eliminate any kind of selection bias due to search engine ranking, external links, etc., we only count internal links from our own search box and our artist listings.
