Orsos: A Moveable Floating Island

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 01:54 PM PDT

Orsos Islands is a luxury floating island that has the ability to be moved and re-anchored. I should clarify that it technically hasn't been completed yet and that the photos you see are renderings — the finished product is expected to be completed in 2013.

The estimated 4.6 million dollar island is over 20 meters wide (65+ ft) and more than 37 meters in length (121+ ft). The Orsos is state of the art, powered both day and night by a noiseless wind energy system, as well as more than 120 m² of solar panels.

With accommodations for up to 12 guests, the possibilities for the tourist industry to employ some of these places anchored close to small islands or having several out on the water from mainland would appeal to many who have the means to pay the stiff price.

Man Fights Goose with a Lightsaber [Video]

Posted: 26 Jun 2012 10:08 PM PDT

Alright so the man and goose didn't fight with real light sabers, but this is still awesome. Originally, this video consisted of a man defending himself on a sidewalk as a goose repeatedly attacked him. Next, someone who has far too much time on their hands added in Star Wars' light sabers.

The 2012 king of ugly-cute is Mugly, a Chinese Crested. 8-year-old Mugly came all the way from Peterborough, England to show off his unusual appearance, which included weirdly placed whiskers and an aloof gaze. His owner, Bev Nicholson, told the Associated Press that this isn't the dog's first big win. Mugly also won Britain's Ugliest Dog in 2005.
