Bizarre Websites On Which You Can Kill Time With Style A Cathedral Made from 55,000 LED Lights The Luminarie De Cagna is an imposing cathedral-like structure that was recently on display at the 2012 Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium. The festival was host to almost 30 exhibitions including plenty of 3D projection mapping, fields of luminous flowers, and a glowing phone booth aquarium, however with 55,000 LEDs and towering 28 meters high the Luminarie De Cagna seems to have stolen the show.

After the third or fourth dumb asshole tried to take her up on it, nobody ever had the balls to do it again. A mysterious, behemoth, don't-fuck-with-me woman too badass for a backstory, best guesses say that Stagecoach Mary was born on or around 1832… although up until her death the date itself was such a mystery that the town of Cascade closed their schools and businesses to celebrate her birthday whenever the hell this hard-drinking, hard-smoking, hard-swearing frontierswoman told them to – which was, on average, about twice a year, usually once around March and again sometime in October. Visit Lovely 1884 Cascade, Montana! Naturally, this got her fired.

Celtic Symbol Meanings Common Celtic Symbols and Their Meanings Celtic symbol meanings are tough to track because there are minimal known surviving written records of indicating specific Celtic symbol meanings. Quite a bit of understanding about Celtic use of symbols comes from conjecture and supposition from authorities and historians of ancient Celtic culture. This is not a bad thing because this allows us to tap into the mystery of the Celtic way, follow our hearts, and open up to our intuition when it comes to Celtic symbolism. Common Celtic Symbol Meanings Triskelion: A Greek term meaning "three-legged," and thus this sign looks very much like three legs running. Triquetra: Latin meaning "three-cornered." Triple Spiral: Represents the drawing of the three powers of maiden, mother and crone. Three Rays (Arwen): The first and third rays in this symbol represent male and female energy (respectively). Five-fold: This pattern also represents balance. Threefold: See Triple spiral.

Klick Pow by Hourglass-Inspired Tea Timer both Times & Steeps Hot Tea No unnecessary bells or whistles (let alone a power cord) are needed for this elegantly simple tea timer-and-steeper to do its job. Just pour, screw, tip and wait. A pair of identical glass vessels twist together mechanically via a plastic joiner piece to form the sealed middle between two hourglass-shaping bulbs, each sized for a single two-person serving of tea. Three settings in the middle allow the user to select a duration for the steeping process, depending on tea types and personal preferences. Once flipped, the top glass drains into the bottom and the loose leaves linger above – beautifully elemental and visually useful.
