I met this sports fan earlier this evening. I think he was actually on meth but then the Superbowl pun wouldn’t work.

Video: Bonnie “Prince” Billy Black Cab Session

Will Oldham, Cairo Gang’s Emmett Kelly, Angel Olsen, and Ben Boye packed into a London taxi for the 100th episode of Black Cab Sessions, taking on a pair of somewhat diametrically opposed tunes: children’s song “My Nurse Smells Like Coconuts” and a more world-weary cut off their new album, Wolfroy Goes To Town. Given the intimate feel of that LP, the close-knit harmonies and patient pace of “Black Captain” fit this setting like a glove. Check it out above (Bonnie’s jumpy reaction to the siren at 3:10 is priceless).

Why Historic Buildings Are Greener Than LEED-Certified New Ones
For buildings of comparable size and use, old buildings are almost always the greenest buildings. A new report from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Preservation Green Lab concludes that constructing new, energy-efficient buildings almost never saves as much energy as renovating old ones.

This might be my favorite repost of our infamous WTF picture from 2007. 225+ pages on the Internet and growing. At least 5 continents and many more languages from what I can tell on Google Image Search.

This was a joke-turned-legitimate diaper changing practice. Not only did I teach myself how to change a diaper, I now know how to change and custom-fit diapers to a wide variety of tailed animals.

 ”The Senator” was Florida’s oldest cypress tree, and it just burned down this morning.

My family and I saw it over the past Christmas holiday and it saddens me that its fallen victim to an arson related brush fire. The other tree on the property, 90 year old “Lady Liberty”, was not damaged, but nothing will ever be as majestic as the Senator.



Why Eating Some Meat May Be Better for the Environment than Going Vegetarian
In fact, eating vegetarian occasionally could be a smarter environmental choice than eating no meat at all. The diet of those who eschew only red meat could have a smaller carbon footprint than that of dairy-loving vegetarians: A serving of chicken has a lower carbon impact than a serving of hard cheese. The real advantage, though, is that eating less meat opens up conversations about food choices with meat-eaters, while vegetarianism often shuts them down
