Soli the dog snacks on $20,000 Diamond

Written by megadestructo / March 19, 2010 9:30 am / 1 Comment

For those of us who have or have had dogs in our family, the occasional ”awkward snack” is no surprise. The number of shoes, chairs, and…well…anything within reach, that’s fallen prey to my old Dalmation’s toothy maw could fill a swimming pool! But a 3-carat diamond? It just so happened that a dealer was showing the $20,000 sparkly to jewelry store owner George Kaufmann when it somehow fell to the floor right next to Soli and, well, I’m sure you can guess the rest!

While it’s true that our very own Boston, Massachusetts, held the very first St. Patrick’s Day celebration in 1737, The Windy City steps things up a few notches. For the past 40-plus years, Chicago has not only held a big St. Patrick’s Day parade, but dyed their famed Chicago River green!

How green does it get? Take a look at this (from 2008):

Written by megadestructo / March 12, 2010 11:39 am / 17 Comments

Some argue that true art is ephemeral – that it is fleeting and impermanent. But what if a piece, one that you bought, actively tries to get rid of itself? Caleb Larsen’s “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” – an 8-inch, black acrylic cube containing a mini-computer and a Web connection – does just that! It’s programmed to sell itself on eBay every seven days.
