The Bocci power outlets are so cool looking. The coverplate is flush with the wall and meant to be drywalled over, so all you see is two circular outlets. Very minimalist. They also have phone and ethernet jacks and light dimmers.

Designer Erik De Nijs created keyboard pants, pants with a flexible keyboard sewn into the lap for all the times you need to type something on the go. They also have sewn in speakers, an attached mouse, and a joystick controller behind the front zipper (not sure if that\’s a joke or not).
Next up he\’s gonna make a t-shirt radio with volume and tuning buttons where the nipples are.

Home extension horror as mum discovers ten skeletons buried under her dining room
\”Some skeletons are just a few bones but others have been dug up intact actually still in their coffins.\”
And it is thought up to 40 more bodies could be buried at the cottage in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire – on the site of Quaker burial ground from the 1700s.
Isn\’t this how Poltergeist started? Although Quakers might not be as pissed off as Indians.

Penalty for Crossing an Al Qaeda Boss? A Nasty Memo
The Al Qaeda leader had learned that a subordinate had broken the rules repeatedly. So he did his duty as the feared military chief of a global terror network: He fired off a nasty memo.
In two pages mixing flowery religious terms with itemized complaints, the Egyptian boss accused the militant of misappropriating cash, a car, sick leave, research papers and an air conditioner during \”an austerity situation\” for the network. He demanded a detailed letter of explanation.
I bet he also CC\’ed everyone else in Al Qaeda including Osama.

Now this is interesting. The design of the Millennium Falcon is very similar to the floorplan of a building designed by Otto Wagner. The building even has the cockpit attached to the side. It\’d be so awesome if Wagner also designed a building that looks like a Star Destroyer.
