French biochemist Pierre Calleja has invented this impressive streetlight that is powered by algae which absorbs CO2 from the air. We have featured algae-powered lamps before but this one takes out 1 ton (!) of CO2 per year. This is as much CO2 as a tree absorbs on average during its entire life. It seems that this is a pretty amazing idea that could really work and clean the air pollution from urban areas (like parking lots, tested in the video above) and at the same time look good. That said, reducing is still better than restoring, but in the meantime- let’s get this lamp working!

1. Sanction (via French, from Latin sanctio(n-) can mean ‘give official permission/approval for (an action)’ or conversely, ‘impose a penalty on.

2. “Oversight is the noun form of two verbs with contrary meanings, “oversee” and “overlook.” “Oversee,” to look at from above, means ‘supervise’; “overlook” means to fail to see or miss

3. Left can mean either remaining or departed. If the gentlemen have withdrawn to the drawing room for after-dinner cigars, who’s left? (The gentlemen have left and the ladies are left.)

4. Dust is a noun turned into a verb meaning either to add or to remove the thing in question. Only the context will tell you which it is. When you dust are you applying dust or removing it? It depends whether you’re dusting the crops or the furniture.

5. Seed can also go either way. If you seed the lawn you add seeds, but if you seed a tomato you remove them.

Pencil Tip Carvings By Dalton GhettiTo create his sculpture, he holds the pencil in his hand under a strong light source (table lamp or sunlight) and carves it mostly with a sewing needle and a very sharp, triangular, small, metal blade. He works at very small intervals: 1 to 2 hours maximum per day whenever he gets inspired. He works very slowly by removing specks of graphite at a time.

“Some clowns juggle, but most jugglers are not clowns.”

So says Jason Garfield, founder of the World Juggling Federation and impresario of the sport of “Combat Juggling,” a combination of dodgeball, tag, juggling and blunt-force assault. The basic

standing wins.

So, tomatoes were declared to be a vegetable given that they are commonly eaten as one.

We’ve All Been Playing Monopoly Wrong Our Entire Lives

Sending un-purchased properties to auction has a number of benefits.Firstly, it speeds up the game, as it enables the quicker collection of a matched set of streets (and remember that it’s only when players have collected sets, and can start building houses, that the game moves into its final phase).Secondly, it makes the game much more interesting by massively increasing the interaction between players. Bluff appropriately and you could end up buying a property you really want for way below the market price - or trick another player into buying a property you don’t want for way more than the market price.Thirdly, it makes the game much more skilful, since it is now less dependent on luck, and more dependent on your ability to trick, bluff and manage the other players.
