Im always up for twisted scenarios and this documentary is definitely one of those. I really seems like a bunch of smoke but you can decide for yourself. The Obama Deception.

World Meters

I think I have found the most compelling, awe striking website i’ve seen in awhile. http://www.worldometers.info/ is a site that shows us world statistics in real time. Everything from world population by the second, to how many cigerettes are being smoked and people dying from them. I find this to be a serious rude awakening but at the same time very amazing.

In 42 years the world will have run out of oil. Thanks for the info WorldOMeters!

Inhaling Alcohol?

Review, Tomic Blog  |  4 February 2011 @ 1:00 am Posted by Ernee

When I read this I didnt know wether to think this was incredibly stupid or amazingly brilliant. Heres the article quoted from www.wired.co.uk

A rather unusual bar has opened in Soho, London, and will close again in little more than a week.

City dwellers may be very much accustomed to congregating in swanky venues to sip expensive cocktails. Some may have donned thick coats to drink from ice-cube glasses in arctic conditions at the Ice Bar. Others have braved blindfolds to drink and eat in pitch dark. But now a British culinary duo is urging us to climb into plastic suits and enter a venue where beverages will be pumped into the room as a vapour cloud.

Bompas and Parr are inviting discerning drinkers along to their pop-up bar, called Alcoholic Architecture, which will be open from 7pm to 9pm for six days on Ganton Street in Central London. Visitors will be given one hour in which to savour vapourised Hendricks gin and tonic.

Sam Bompas said that the time limit means the experience is comparable to imbibing “a fairly strong drink” and, at £5 for an hour in the bar, it’s about the same price too.

The team say they have taken into account safety issues varying from medical concerns for the “drinkers” through to whether a hydration system filled with alcohol could potentially explode. Bompas says they had to “jump through all of the hoops” to win their licence from Westminster City Council, but now they’re all set to open.

Bompas and Parr are best known as jelly masters, creating jelly-based wedding cakes and the world’s first glow-in-the-dark jellies after working in tandem with Dr Andrea Sella from UCL’s chemistry department. Their achievements also include a scratch and sniff cinema experience, in which viewers were given cards that had certain aromas “micro-encapsulated and printed” onto them matching certain moments in the film.

The duo were inspired to experiment with vapours after seeing last year’s Antony Gormley installation at the Hayward Gallery, called Blind Light. This used an ultrasonic humidifier system – the same machine the team are now using for Alcoholic Architecture. Bompas says they also consulted with the Eden Project and with a company called JS Humidifiers, who make industrial humidification systems.

Next they had to decide on a drink, opting for gin and tonic because of its “nice smell, botanical flavours and freshness,” Bompas says.

The idea of inhaling G&Ts has proved so popular in this gin-drinking nation of ours that Bompas and Parr have been flooded with phone calls. They’ve had to take their phone numbers down from their website and tickets are now only available if you win them through www.jotta.com. The bar will be open on April 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25.
