Walcott run 100 meters in 10.3 seconds

Spanish journalists were impressed by the speed of English football national team striker and Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, who was ahead of the return Champions League quarter-finals match between Barcelona and Arsenal asked what time he made, in the race at 100 meters.
“When I was 14, I ran a hundred meters in about 11 seconds. Now I am much faster, I think I can ran 100 meters in approximately 10.3 seconds,” he replied Walcott.
His French manager Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, laugh all present when he commented:
“I could run 100 meters in about 17!”
Journalists asked 60-year-old French expert, do you think seconds or minutes.

After Ice Rain in South China

Oversize cardboard toy is only missing an engine, and some drivetrain

I consider myself decent when it comes to art. Well, at least I draw decent stick man for the least. And you SHOULD believe me when I say that! But when it comes to assembling a plastic model kit, I’m never the bright one. Sad to say, but I’ve still got a box of sealed MG Exia Gundam lying under my computer table. No, I don’t need help at that. I’ll just leave it there and rot, until I find some silly time to start my little project. If you say origami, I’m actually quite good at it! Well at least I know how to fold a bird. But if you’re referring to this 3D NSX made from cardboard, I had to step back and bow on you.

Do You See What I See? Amazing Typographic Art

Beauty isn’t the only thing in the eye of the beholder. In the case of this clever art installation from graphic-design students Joseph Egan and Hunter Thomson, legibility is too, depending on where the beholder stands. The piece consists of three typographic paintings with letters stretching down corridors, into fire escapes, and wrapped around corners at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, in London. The paintings are statements on the nature of perception and feature phrases like “It’s a point of view.” The witty sum of their distorted parts can only be appreciated from one viewing sweet spot. Much like the Cheshire Cat in Wonderland, the sentences seem to hover in front of their backdrop as if on a separate two-dimensional plane. Now I know how Alice must’ve felt.

Instead of normal Tetris rules you have to stack as much shit as you can without reaching the top of the screen. No, you can't clear lines.

It's written in lua with löve. You probably know löve already.

DOWNLOAD HERE!
I am not allowed to ask you to click on the ads, but it'd be nice to give me something back

(The game is completely free after all)

IF THE SOUND BUGS OUT ON YOUR MACHINE, I'M SORRY.
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS TO BE THE ENGINE'S FAULT.
Best advice I can give is to download löve yourself and then run it from source. (drag the .love file onto love.exe)
^also allows you to run it on linux and osx.
