Is Tasmania the Google Street View black hole?
We’ve seen plenty of Street View anomalies in the past, many of which originated from Tasmania. But none of them are as as pervasive as Ridgeway Road.It kind of looks like you’re looking up at the stars, with a perverted Xbox 360 logo on one half of the camera. And it just seems to go on and on.

Petition to make “Hella” the prefix for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Carl sez, “A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion). For instance: ‘the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at 0.3 hellawatts.’ It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt.”

When Is A Pool Not A Pool? When It’s Got A HydroFloor.
The system is near invisible, flexible, rapidly adaptable and safe, being in compliance with relevant national safety standards. The concept is that the floor height of the pool may be elevated to set at any pre-selected water depth such as wading depth for children or a depth suited to those with special needs. This makes the pool itself diverse and multifunctional.

Underfull Table Cloth by Kristine Bjaadal
Norwegian designer Kristine Bjaadal showed her Underfull Table Cloth at the 2010 Stockholm Furniture Fair and since then it has been getting quite a bit of press. This special table cloth features a simple damask pattern, yet hides a secret. When colored liquid — like red wine — is spilled on its surface, it reveals a hidden butterfly pattern. Still a concept, Kristine is working on getting these into production.
