Amazing (NOT photoshopped) Photo of the Day




Marina Bay Sands Hotel - Singapore




Photoshopped? Two postcards stuck together? Nope, just a guy swimming near the edge of a pool on top of a skyscraper. It's the Skypark at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and it's 55 stories (or 600 feet) above ground level. Keeping Michael Phelps from splattering on the sidewalk are two design features of the pool - there is a lip under the water level, and a gutter over the side, which catches both water splashes and drunk swimmers. Still, I hope they don't book any bachelor parties.....

The Ralph Lauren Prototype Bicycle

Sweet Product of the Day

These bikes, not yet in production, were conceived in collaboration with Affinity Cycles. If I'd look THAT hot, maybe I'd even reteach mySELF to ride.

Cheeseburger in a Can

Questionable Food Item of the Day
The cheese-burger

Yeah, you saw correctly - a cheeseburger in a can. Cheese, mystery-meat patty, lettuce, onion, pickles, tomato and a bun! It can be with you anywhere you go - at school, work, camp, at a bonfire, on the kitchen table, even the moon! All you need is a pot of boiling water and your body will be thanking you for all the home-grown, healthy deliciousness you just chewed into it. Suggested beverage? How about a vat of high-fructose corn syrup? In a can, of course.
