Am having a bit of an odd day, so here’s a surreal feature for you courtesy of Time magazine.   The Kangbashi district in Ordos, Inner Mongolia was built to accommodate and entertain some 1 million people – however, hardly anyone has moved in yet.

Looks sort of like a shiny, non-radioactive version of Pripyat (as seen in Call of Duty 4…and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster).

Check out the photo gallery here.

This image is perhaps the best use of Photoshop ever.  In other news, giant poo bubble threatens to burst in Indiana.

Looks like this may be a time to avoid Indiana, especially when the suggested solution to this “requires a gas mask, a small boat and a Swiss Army knife.”

Heading back to Bangor soon.  All feels a bit odd right now.  Today’s music pick is an acoustic version of the Scientist by Coldplay.

Zombie Nazi’s and the tagline “Eins, Zwei, Die.”  Really there are no words for the awesomeness

Nothing like a bit of comfort food and beer after a particularly long and stressful day at work.  Unlike the others, my music listening opportunities are slightly limited with the amount of time I spend on the phone. Of course a long stressful day often involves the customary escape to the BBC News site as soon as lunch time hits.

Of note today; scientists appear to have found what looks like a very old, mouldy baked potato, a porn channel has been fined for showing adult content, and someone who looks scarily like a certain Students Union president has tried to glue himself to Gordon Brown.

Anyway, I’m really quite tired, so I leave you with the video for The Verve’s new single ‘Love is Noise.’
