Making The Invisible Visible

Love creative advertising like this - so simple, clever but highly effective - how could you walk past this and not stop to look? No doubt be used by other larger brands very soon, but this is the work of Brothers and Sisters creative team Lisa Jelliffe and Kirsten Rutherford who teamed up with an anonymous German street art collective Mentalgassi, to create art installations called "Making the invisible visible" for Amnesty International.
This highlights the case of Troy Davis, a man who has been on death row for 19 years in the USA. Displayed on fence railings you see nothing but bars, his face only becomes visible from an angle. To find out more and to help Troy click here.

BBC: Woman Dials 999 To Report Snowman Theft

Absolutely amazing. "It's made of snow, I made it myself"


"A woman who dialled 999 to report the theft of a snowman from outside her home has been branded "completely irresponsible" by Kent Police.

The force said the woman, from Chatham, thought the incident required their involvement because she used pound coins for eyes and teaspoons for arms.

During the call the woman said: "It ain't a nice road but you don't expect someone to nick your snowman."

Melting Rock With Focused Sunlight

Absolutely amazing. Focused sunlight isn't just for burning twigs and scolding ants with a magnifying glass - this reaches temperatures in excess of 3500c "Nothing on Earth can withstand this" says the scientist from the Solar Furnace Research Facility in Southern France. So all this incredible energy from the Sun, is free?! Imagine what else you could do with it.

It's also amazing because I've always thought that the BBC's Bang Goes The Theory is a dumbed down version of the classic science program of yesterday, Tomorrow World, as well as a blatant copy of Mythbusters for those that don't have the Discovery channel.

Lennart Green

One of my all time favourite clips, from the TED series of talks, this is rumpled Swedish doctor Lennart Green, who has definitely got that Tommy Cooper gene, the ability to make people laugh without really doing much. Oh, and whilst appearing to be rubbish at magic tricks. This is superb.
