The “Singing” Highway in South Korea (Get Into the Groove)


From Neatorama,

<----------Worthy of showing, don't you think?

"Driving down the highway in South Korea can be a musical experience (just enough to get your attention, in case you’re sleepy or not paying attention):

The road is carved into thousands of grooves. When the car tire hits the grooves, the vibrations turn into a sound source. It makes different tunes depending on the size of the grooves … The rhythm is controlled by the lengh of the groove. For example to get one second of the "do" note, the groove is stretched 28 meters."

Simple Business Model For Torrent Sites vs Corporations?

It's become well known in torrent news that the most popular bittorrent sites make gajillions in advertising, so why not gather the statistics of the downloads and pay a percentage back to those companies?

Nu Ethix Suspension @ Reggies Coffin Banger Party

Halloween Night (5 bucks off cover for lookin' like a zombie); one of the acts includes the Nu Ethix Suspension Group, a group of dapper guys & gals who hang themselves from hooks in their pierced bodies.
In this particular act, dude hangs from a couple hooks in his back, while 2 lovely assistants...assist (one hanging off of him for a second) and then bring a victim only to hook her up (sorry) to his knees.
It's crappy phone video but wtf.
