Pittsburgh's Best Restroom

Posted on July 27, 2008 9:46 PM | 7 Comments

I caught my attention the Pittsburgh hard-core sport blog post about the unique and bizarre restroom in Pittsburgh, PA. It's not far from here, and it made me very curiously to visit the men's restroom in Jerome Bettis' Grille 36 restaurant located in North Shore between Heinz Field and PNC Park. Been there, done that, and if you haven't see the video playing, please check this out the dim video above, as you see the marble sink, toilet booths and... urinals above the one-way mirror hanging the wall.

As far I know this is amazing, and it's nominated in top 10 list of American's Best Restroom of 2008, casting their votes here till the votes closes on July 31, 2008.

"The lighting is dim, so I guess it's a comfortable atmosphere for your restroom needs," said manager Candy Mann.
"You can see most of the TVs on the back wall, and all of your friends and relatives," said entertainment engineer Jake Karan. "You can check on your girlfriend, too."

When will you die?

Take the test from my regional news site.

I got three points, and I get less than four percent risk of dying? The odds are one to million I could get unexpectable killed by accident, in any kind. The funny part about the survey, 60% of the people doesn't want to know the exact date they are going to die.

In my perious entry said I will die on March 11, 2031. Crap.

Face Recognition site

Technology is sometimes silly thing. MyHeritage has face recognition web software that scans images and tries to find matches from their archives. I tried myself, and I get the result: Michael Ballack (55%), Michel Piccoli (49%), Mikhail Gorbachev (48%), Franklin Pierce (48%), Mira Sorvino (46%), George W. Bush (45%) and Margaret Mitchell (44%).

Those two US presidents (Franklin Pierce and George W. Bush) does not look much like me. In other way, some of my friends recognize me as Ben Roethlisberger or Russell Crowe.

Via Boing Boing > Accordion Guy:

As you watch longest running TV cartoon show, The Simpsons on FOX TV channel every Sunday nights, I always enjoyed the episode introduction: "Couch Gag". It shows several different cut scence of the action when the Simpsons came home from work/school/shopping and they get on the couch at same time before preparing to watch television.

I find one of my favorite Couch Gag episode: Powers of Ten, borrowed from Eameses' Power of Ten classic movie. What Powers of Ten do? Let's examine of my fantastic imagination about Power of Ten from beginning to end:

1. heart
2. human
3. room
4. house
5. street name
6. zone area
7. city
8. county
9. state
10. country
11. continent
12. world
13. earth and moon
13. inner solar system
14. outer solar system
15. 100 billion kilometers away from sun
16. 1 light years away
17. more stars of 10 light years away
18. 100 light years nothing but stars
19. Stars in Milky Way galaxy
20. 10 million light years, 2-3 galaxies
21. 1 billion years nothing but galaxies
22. examining quarks but nothing
23. quarks become single proton
24. Nucleus of the carbon atom

God said it looks like it kept going loop forever. Well, is there a black hole invisible to us? Well, only God knows the answer more than science. Go and ask the religious people.

CD Cracker

Posted on October 7, 2004 7:56 PM | No Comments

CD. Microwave. I heard from my friend who tried putting their CD into their microwave. I am curious to try this out. I did. Simply, I put CD-R on paper plate and put this in microwave. Set it to 3 seconds on 100% power and start. I watched. Wow, I can see the CD-R sparkle up like electric shock. At least I was scared that it’s going to get burn, but it's not. Once I opened the microwave, there is no smoke. No burns. No fire. Nothing. I can see the CD-R cracked, unbreakable. I smelled closely, it is odd smell, I can’t even explain. Take a look of this picture, doesn’t it look good to hang on christmas tree decorating? You can see most of them in website.

I’m warning you, Use your own risk to try this at home.
