Inspired by Mount Fuji, Taisei Construction Corporation has completed designs for construction of the world’s tallest building. The X-Seed 4000 (no idea where that came from) would stand at approximately 13,123 feet (4 km), nearly 700 feet (213 m) taller than the real Mount Fuji. The next tallest buildings don’t even break 2,000 feet, how puny! While likely to never be built, the X-Seed would have up to 800 floors, and be capable of housing between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people.
Unlike conventional skyscrapers, the X-Seed 4000 would be required to actively protect its occupants from considerable air pressure gradations and weather fluctuations along its massive elevation. Its design calls for the use of solar power to maintain internal environmental conditions. Some estimate that the cost to construct the X-Seed 4000 structure may be somewhere between $300-900 billion US dollars.
Now I’m no astronomer or anything, but if I learned anything in grade school, it’s that 13,123 feet is pretty much the distance to the sun. Which means that the top floor would be perfect for a natural sauna. You heard it here first, if they end up doing that I want credit.
From the “Everything must have Integrated Speakers” department comes Mi Pillows. If you haven’t guessed by now, they’re pillows that have speakers inside. They cost $60, and are available through Hammacher Schlemmer (pronounced Helter Skelter). You can hook them up to an iPod or any other audio device and, uh, listen to music while you’re trying to fall asleep. The sewn on control patches don’t work though, so that’s a sham. On a side note, be careful what you choose to listen to while sleeping. Because last night I fell asleep to Black Sabbath and when I woke up this morning I owed my soul to the devil and had bitten the head off my daughter’s parakeet.
If you’ve reached the point in life where you honestly think you need designer drain caps in your sink or bathtub then it might be time to step back and ask yourself if there’s something more productive you could be doing. Because quite frankly I don’t think there’s a single being on this planet who needs an analog clock embedded in the top of their drain caps.
The ‘Watch Waste’ as it’s appropriately called is available from Murano House and each piece is hand made in Italy by the finest craftsman who are probably also wondering who’s actually going to buy these. The clocks even have precious stones inset into the face so if a visitor happens to take a close look at the bottom of your sink they’re sure to be impressed by your impeccable taste and attention to detail.
As for the cost, well the website asks you to email them for a quote which roughly translates to “You’re charging how much for that?!”
Your current bionic arm just not cutting it? Tired of just rocking a pirate hook? Well a team at Vanderbilt University has developed a prosthetic arm that’s powered by, that’s right folks, rocket fuel! The team came up with the idea while trying to develop a system that functions with the same strength of a human arm.
Conventional prosthetic arms do not have the strength of their flesh-and-blood counterparts, the reason being the batteries. In order to lift comparable weights, a prosthetic arm would need a massive battery, too large for the prosthesis itself. So (project leader) Michael Goldfarb started thinking about other ways to power the artificial limbs, and came up with the idea of using the monopropellant rocket motor system that the space shuttle uses to maneuver in space.
It’s pretty clear that this team lives by the same credo that I do. When trying to solve a problem, always consider some sort of projectile or explosive material in the final design. I mean, really, who needs a ding-dong anyways when you can have it torn or blown off by your bionic arm.
Many persons have sleep problems when outside it’s hot. They fall asleep late, they sleep for short periods of time and they wake up many times during the night. Here are 10 tip to follow in order to get your rest even during the hot summer nights.
1. Go to sleep at about the same hour every night, your body will get used to this and it will prepare itself for sleep.
2. Don’t do any exercises at night because they pump the blood and you’ll not be able to fall asleep.
3. Don’t eat and don’t drink a lot before going to sleep. Dinner must be light and it would be best eaten at least 2 hours before bed time. Digestion delays the sleep and it disturbes it.
4. Avoid nicotin, alcohol and caffeine for at least 5-6 hours before going to sleep. Those stimulents can keep you awake at night.
5. Sleep only during the night. During day time, rest for one hour maximum and don’t ever sleep after 3 p.m.
6. Keep your sleeping room well aired and if it’s possible leave a window slightly open during the night.
7. Before going to sleep go take a warm bath or a reassuring shower, read a book or listen to your favorite music. It will help you fall asleep for sure !
8. Try to apply some moisturizing cream on your shoulders, neck and soles of your feet. You’ll relax in no time and the tension accumulated over the day will disappear.
9. Don’t appeal to drugs or any kind of medicine in order to combat your insomnia. A glace of warm milk or tea, sweetened with honey will help you do the trick.
10. During the night sleep, try to keep your feet on a soft pillow, this will make the tiredness go away and you’ll get a very nice night sleep.
