After the soul-sucker post, I thought the tiki god might let me get away with posting some of the wallpaper I’ve made in the last while.

Upright it’s just a boring pic…flip it and it morphs into something interesting.

Moonshine on the rise
Well I often stumble upon the google trends website (google.com/trends) it’s the “hottest” items searched for on the web,(well searched for on google which is pretty much the web) today’s #55 hottest search on google, you guessed it, how to make moonshine. Classic.
Megan Fox at MTV Movie Awards 2008
Megan Fox apparently has an insatiable hunger for doin’ it. She recently told FHM that she’s obsessed with sex and doesn’t really see a point in doing anything else.
“I have the libido of a teenage boy. I’d rather have sex all the time than leave the house.”

Milky Way Galaxy; mapped
Explanation: Gazing out from within the Milky Way, our own galaxy’s true structure is difficult to discern. But an ambitious survey effort with the Spitzer Space Telescope now offers convincing evidence that we live in a large galaxy distinguished by two main spiral arms (the Scutum-Centaurus and Perseus arms) emerging from the ends of a large central bar. In fact, from a vantage point that viewed our galaxy face-on, astronomers in distant galaxies would likely see the Milky Way as a two-armed barred spiral similar to this artist’s illustration. Previous investigations have identified a smaller central barred structure and four spiral arms. Astronomers still place the Sun about a third of the way in from the Milky Way’s outer edge, in a minor arm called the Orion Spur.

Scary-Ass Crooked Leaning Bridge
Sky bridge in Langkawi, Malaysia, a cable-stayed bridge which actually curves around the single support column from which it’s suspended, 687 metres above sea level.

Fight!!!
I’d never seen bees & wasps actually fight before…you can tell who had the upper hand. The bees ultimately tore the wasp apart. I was stung precisely zero times.

Tarantula Hawk Wasp
This thing kills tarantulas by stinging them & paralyzing them. Then they drag the body into a hole, put a fucking egg into it & buries it. When the egg hatches, it fucking eats the tarantula.
On the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, it scores a 4.0, which is described as “blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath.”
The only scores higher than a 4.0 is:
4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel.
These things are in my neighborhood and they scare the shit out of me.

Joseph Longo’s Plasma Converter
Tags:Forum Fodder, Politics, Sad :(, Science!, WTF
my favorite excerpts from the article:
How It Works: Startech´s trash converter uses superheated plasma-an electrically conductive mass of charged particles (ions and electrons) generated from ordinary air-to reduce garbage to its molecular components. First the trash is fed into an auger that shreds it into small pieces. Then the mulch is delivered into the plasma chamber, where the superheated plasma converts it into two by-products. One is a syngas composed mostly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which is fed into the adjacent Starcell system to be converted into fuel. The other is molten glass that can be sold for use in household tiles or road asphalt.
Called plasma gasification, it works a little like the big bang, only backward (you get nothing from something). Inside a sealed vessel made of stainless steel and filled with a stable gasâ€â€either pure nitrogen or, as in this case, ordinary airâ€â€a 650-volt current passing between two electrodes rips electrons from the air, converting the gas into plasma. Current flows continuously through this newly formed plasma, creating a field of extremely intense energy very much like lightning.
The radiant energy of the plasma arc is so powerful, it disintegrates trash into its constituent elements by tearing apart molecular bonds. The system is capable of breaking down pretty much anything except nuclear waste, the isotopes of which are indestructible. The only by-products are an obsidian-like glass used as a raw material for numerous applications, including bathroom tiles and high-strength asphalt, and a synthesis gas, or “syngas”â€â€a mixture of primarily hydrogen and carbon monoxide that can be converted into a variety of marketable fuels, including ethanol, natural gas and hydrogen.
Perhaps the most amazing part of the process is that it’s self-sustaining. Just like your toaster, Startech’s Plasma Converter draws its power from the electrical grid to get started. The initial voltage is about equal to the zap from a police stun gun. But once the cycle is under way, the 2,200ËšF syngas is fed into a cooling system, generating steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. About two thirds of the power is siphoned off to run the converter; the rest can be used on-site for heating or electricity, or sold back to the utility grid. “Even a blackout would not stop the operation of the facility,” Longo says.
