EEG’s Tyrell Pyramid miniature designed by Tom Cranham under the supervision of Douglas Trumbull. The actual size of the Tyrell Pyramid was suposed to be anywhere from 600 to 900 stories tall which was transformed on a pyramid model in scale of 1/750 - one foot on the model equaled 750 feet in reality which gave model size of two and a half feet high, with a nine-foot base.

In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad

The explosion ripped through Building A5 on a Friday evening last May, an eruption of fire and noise that twisted metal pipes as if they were discarded straws.

When workers in the cafeteria ran outside, they saw black smoke pouring from shattered windows. It came from the area where employees polished thousands of iPad cases a day.

Two people were killed immediately, and over a dozen others hurt. As the injured were rushed into ambulances, one in particular stood out. His features had been smeared by the blast, scrubbed by heat and violence until a mat of red and black had replaced his mouth and nose.

President George W. Bush holds the badge of a police officer killed in the September attacks.

“It is the police shield of a man named George Howard, who died at the World Trade Center trying to save others. It was given to me by his mom, Arlene, as a proud memorial to her son.”

I’m getting tired of so-called sociologists dissing everything cute as “infantilizing” because it helps to make them feel vindicated in their love of……

I feel as if it’s essentially a marketing campaign that worked in the ’90s, still being held onto now.

Some new form of nihonjinron.

Yeah revamping Peter Rabbit was so Cool Britania

Basically adults getting rotten and becoming really parasitic.

Make/tempting kids to buy things.

Lowest of the low.

Needed/need to be aware of that slippery slope/down side risk.

*Also what maybe more telling is that the difference of article’s length in English and Japanese on Wikipedia.

Japanese entry on Cool Japan - is like one short paragraph. That’s it.

But English entry is - basically foreign Japanese experts making it into ‘a thing’ - probably paid by Japanese bureaucracy.

inspiredbyiceland:

According to old Icelandic folk tales, trolls can only travel at night, much like vampires (This is probably hereditary, vampires and trolls likely share a bloodline). As the story goes, once the first rays of sun shine on a trolls skin, it will turn to stone.

The strongest argument in support of these tales are various lava/rock formations that take an eerily troll-like shape in the whimsical autumn dusk, or the summer fog.

Looking at this photo, it is easy to see a group of trolls, having been caught out after light, and paying the ultimate prize.

Can Fracking Cause Quakes?

Recent earthquakes in Ohio and Oklahoma have been directly linked to deep wells used to dispose of liquid wastes for hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” of natural gas, according to geological experts. And they expect more earthquakes to come as the industry continues to expand across the eastern United States.

You come home, but your garage door has been deactivated so that people who don’t live in your house are trying to park in your garage.

More than seven houses across the street turn up “My Sharona,” 40’s Big Band, and early Dre to extreme volumes.
