Pennsylvania bypass@Everything2.com

Pennsylvania bypass@Everything2.com: "But enough of my ramblings and back to the topic at hand. What I propose is simple. A large bridge over Pennsylvania that allows you to just bypass the state entirely. Want to go from Maryland to New York? Just hop on the bypass and be spared the pain and anguish of driving through Pennsylvania. There'd also be an east-west connector between Ohio and New York."

God hates figs

God hates figs : pics: "I've been studying the bible recently in an english class, and this is how I imagine most other parts of the bible too. There's a scene where Abraham, age 90ish, runs around his house circumcising slaves and sons. When I think of my 90 year old grandma, I know she is completely out of her mind. She thinks the vietcong are stealing her money at night. It's just an amazing scene."

14 Most Epic Movie Battle Scenes

14 Most Epic Movie Battle Scenes: "Epic is overused. Heavily, heavily overused. The internet has corrupted a perfectly good word, and now it’s used almost as badly as lol. Anything that’s vaguely humorous gets slapped with the label without any appreciation for what it truly is. You know what’s epic? Hundreds of armed and trained men, slaughtering each other ruthlessly on the field of battle. Blood and death up to your knees, under the chaos of war. That is epic, and these 14 scenes all exemplify the word, as the 14 most epic battles in cinema history."

Eerie and tragic, yet brimming with history, the following ghost towns are monuments to hardship, good intentions with bad�repercussions, and human folly"

Joystick Division - Five Insanely Scary Games That Will Ruin Your Psyche

Joystick Division - Five Insanely Scary Games That Will Ruin Your Psyche: "Psychological horror can be powerfully conveyed in video games. The games usually don't involve a lot of shocks and jumps -- instead they have a twisted, pervasive creepiness that keeps us on a terrified edge for their duration. We've picked five that have given us great fright over the years; the kind of fright that keeps us up at night. Click for the picks, in no particular order."

This is certainly old news to the geologists in our midst, but I couldn't believe my eyes watching this BBC video clip of Professor Iain Stewart exploring the amazing Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) in Naica, Mexico. The cave is home to crystal beams as long as 36 feet long. Looks an awful lot like Superman's Fortress of Solitude!"

Ligne claire

Ligne claire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Ligne claire (French for 'clear line') is a style of drawing pioneered by Herge, the Belgian creator of The Adventures of Tintin. It is a style of drawing that uses clear strong lines of uniform importance. Artists working in the style do not use hatching, while contrast is downplayed as well. Cast shadows are often illuminated while a uniformity of line is used throughout, paying equal attention to every element depicted. Additionally, the style often features strong colours and a combination of cartoonish characters against a realistic background. All these elements together can result in giving strips drawn this way a flat aspect. The name was coined by Joost Swarte in 1977."

5 times we almost nuked ourselves by accident

5 times we almost nuked ourselves by accident: "This is how NORAD learned not to run computer simulations of Soviet nuclear attacks on the systems used to respond to actual Soviet nuclear attacks. The missile defense agency received alarming indications that a full scale battery of Russian nukes were heading toward the U.S. Planes were scrambled with fully armed nuclear weapons. The president's shielded emergency plane was put into the air too (although they couldn't get the president on it in time)."

Participants were sworn to secrecy, says Eggleston, and that was what he saw as the first sign something hinky was afoot at the 'The New Warrior Training Adventure.'"

Make: Online : Woods of the world indexed as "library" of "books": "I've been interested in collecting woods for a long time. The International Wood Collectors Society is the premier collectors organization, and they promulgate a 'standard sample block' measuring 6' x 3' x 1/2'. The smaller IWCS-size samples are much cheaper than these wooden 'books' offered by Worlds Wood Library, but there's no denying the elegance of this idea as a display. The common name is cut into the book's 'spine,' and the latin binomial into its 'cover.'"

But the story started to circulate shortly after his first novel, Generation X, became an On the Road for the '90s. Every effort he's made to set the record straight has been ignored by his many fan sites. So he recently decided to purchase a few choice specimens."

The Collapse of Complex Business Models

The Collapse of Complex Business Models - Clay Shirky: "When ecosystems change and inflexible institutions collapse, their members disperse, abandoning old beliefs, trying new things, making their living in different ways than they used to. It’s easy to see the ways in which collapse to simplicity wrecks the glories of old. But there is one compensating advantage for the people who escape the old system: when the ecosystem stops rewarding complexity, it is the people who figure out how to work simply in the present, rather than the people who mastered the complexities of the past, who get to say what happens in the future."

The collapse of complex societies@Everything2.com

The collapse of complex societies@Everything2.com: "'The citizens of modern complex societies usually do not realize that we are an anomaly in history. Throughout the several million years that recognizable humans are known to have lived, the common unit was the small, autonomous community, acting independently and largely self-sufficient ... hierarchy and complexity are actually rare in human history, and where present require constant reinforcement. No societal leader is ever far from the need to validate position and policy, and no hierarchal society can be organized without explicit provision for this need.'

Developed by Lyle Zapato during the psychotronically turbulent early 1990s, MindGuard offered Amiga-using paranoids the world over a new opportunity to think free of evil influences using advanced Active Anti-Psychotronic (AAP) software, theretofore only available to mind-control agents and paranoid millionaires. At the dawn of the Third Millennium, MindGuard was made available for even the stingiest paranoids with the introduction of MindGuard X for the free Linux OS. Now no one has an excuse not to be mind-control free!"

On the Effectiveness of Aluminium Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study

"Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason."

Old-School Strongmen - Photo Gallery - LIFE

Old-School Strongmen - Photo Gallery - LIFE: "In an age when plastic surgery, human growth hormones, anabolic steroids, and other 'enhancers' can quickly change (occasionally for the better; often for the cringe-inducing worse) a person's appearance, there's a lot to be said for the strongmen of old, who usually altered their physiques the old-fashioned way: by, for example, frequently bending iron bars around their necks. Like the man said ... there's no school like the old school."

It's easy to forget that some of the English language's most common words had real-life namesakes in living, breathing people.

In Combat: LIFE's Great War Photos - Photo Gallery - LIFE: "This photo, in which three American soldiers lie dead in the sand on Buna Beach in New Guinea, was taken in February 1943, but was not published until September. It was the first time an image of dead American troops appeared in LIFE during World War II without the bodies being draped, in coffins, or otherwise covered up. George Strock's Buna Beach photo -- now acknowledged as a war classic -- and other equally gruesome and graphic pictures were finally OK'd by the Office of War Information's censors, in part because President Roosevelt feared that the American public might be growing complacent about the war and its horrific toll."

Daytona Motorcycle Madness, 1948 - Photo Gallery - LIFE

Daytona Motorcycle Madness, 1948 - Photo Gallery - LIFE: "For years, from its inception in 1937 until the early '60s, the celebrated Daytona 200 motorcycle race wasn't merely run at Daytona Beach in Florida -- along with other high-speed, high-risk clashes, the 200 was run on the beach in Florida. In 1948, LIFE covered the 12th annual races at Daytona, and reported, in its April 19 issue, that 'for four days last month the resort city of Daytona Beach could hardly have been noisier -- or in more danger -- if it had been under bombardment.' Now, with unpublished and rarely seen photos from the meet, LIFE.com opens a window on a long, loud weekend 60 years ago -- a weekend that thrilled thousands of racing fans; scandalized one very popular weekly magazine's editors; and, as if proof was needed that the young sport was still in the hands of daredevils, rebels, and scofflaws, saw two people killed and 30 more injured."

Never-Seen: Hells Angels, 1965 - Photo Gallery - LIFE: "From Jesse James to Tony Soprano, outlaws have always held a singular if ambiguous place in America's popular imagination: we fear and loathe their appetite for violence, yet we envy and covet their freedom. In early 1965, LIFE photographer Bill Ray and writer Joe Bride spent several weeks with a gang that, to this day, serves as a living, brawling embodiment of our schizoid relationship with the rebel: the Hells Angels."
