Drunkard Kills Himself Over Meatless Dinner

The wife refused to cook meat as they could not afford it.

Irritated by this, Sanjivan locked her in the house before setting himself on fire outside.

I\’m sure the wife learned her lesson.

The 15 Best Skylines in the World. I\’ve been to Shanghai and it\’s just amazing. It\’s a really vibrant, metropolitan city. It seemed like it was even denser than New York. Lots of new skyscrapers were going up, and there was construction everywhere. I don\’t agree that Guangzhou deserves an honorable mention, though. I was there last year and it was kind of a dump. It was just old and run down.

Oh man, this is awesome: a self-stirring cup! Stirring\’s for chumps. From now on, it\’s easy street for me.

Woman Survives Fall From 11th Floor

A Russian woman fell 35 metres (114 ft) from the eleventh floor of her apartment building and survived…

However, the woman she landed on did not survive.

This is a great piece about how a technical cutaway illustration of a cruise ship is made from blueprints. The guy draws it in Illustrator, then uses Photoshop to color the 640mb file. I love cutaways.

An argument over toilet paper overflowed into a fight, sending one motel maid to the hospital and another to jail.

The maids at the Siesta Motor Lodge in North Charleston armed themselves with a plunger and mop after accusing each other of taking toilet paper from each other\’s cleaning carts, North Charleston police said.

Apartment Therapy and Design Within Reach have a contest for the Smallest, Coolest Apartment. Lots of good entries here. I love interior design for small spaces. I\’m always impressed by a well decorated apartment that makes efficient use of the limited space. I\’d imagine it\’s pretty cheap too, as you only need to buy furniture for 1, maybe 2 rooms at most.

Still-Life with Rabbit

A wooden table is chockablock with fruit, cheese, and a glass of wine. To one side is a dead rabbit, a dead pheasant, and a dead eel. And you’re thinking, Thanks for the fruit, but, man, take better care of your pets.

This Lego aircraft carrier is badass. I love all the little details, like the missiles on the carts, the deck equipment, the life rafts, the folded wings on the jets.

The real life Simpsons intro. Not bad, but it\’s kind of weird to see real people playing cartoon characters.
