#british men trapped in corridors
STOP
This isn’t funny.
I am British, and this is a serious problem.
Many a time I have walked down a corridor, only to find a poor man standing there, staring, just staring, in oddly patterened shirts and jeans.
Our government is doing it’s best, but sometimes it seems nothing can be done.
I’ve heard of cases where they’ve actually had to knock down the walls to get them out, and that’s very risky, as you can see as they are attracted to the walls and lean on them…
Millie keep an eye on Mike he could be next
So many of my friends have died from bad shirts and small confined spaces. :/ When will the Conservatives do something about this problem.
omg
I mean you can try putting up signs but sometimes it’s not even known how they’re getting in there or why the british male attempts to make its home in brick corridors. They are delicate, mysterious creatures, and I hope the EPA steps in soon.
This is just so sad. Reblogging because I have a heart.
We can’t just close our eyes to the plight of British men trapped in corridors in peculiar shirts. Don’t just scroll past this, reblog. It won’t make your blog look ugly.
I don’t watch movies anymore. Instead I find epic reblog threads on Tumblr and spend hours reading the notes.

How robots see the world
Both brilliant and appropriately creepy, Robot readable world by Timo Arnall attempts to show us how computers “see” the world, gathering “meaning from our streets, cities, media and from us.”
So now that we know how the machines see us, how long will it be untii we start deploying camouflage in order to hide from the machines?

Head transplants and Szymborska’s Experiment « Mind Hacks
This is a link to an article with some slightly freakish footage of experiments in removing or transplanting the heads of dogs and monkeys. Click through if you’d like. The more interesting part imo is this bit:
Neuroscientist Steven Rose gives an interesting video commentary on the experiment, drawing from recent findings in ‘embodied cognition‘ which have suggested that the brain cannot be meaningfully switched because so much of our experience of our minds relies on the body in which it has developed and is embedded.
Sorry, Singularity lovers.

Total Annual Building Energy Consumption for New York City
The map represents the total annual building energy consumption at the block level and at the taxlot level for New York City, and is expressed in kilowatt hours (k Wh) per square meter of land area.
The data comes from a mathematical model based on statistics, not private information from utilities, to estimate the annual energy consumption values of buildings throughout the five boroughs. To see the break down of the type of energy being used, for which purpose and in what quantity, hover over or click on a block or taxlot.

Activists Fight Green Projects, Seeing U.N. Plot - NYTimes.com
Across the country, activists with ties to the Tea Party are railing against all sorts of local and state efforts to control sprawl and conserve energy. They brand government action for things like expanding public transportation routes and preserving open space as part of a United Nations-led conspiracy to deny property rights and herd citizens toward cities.
They are showing up at planning meetings to denounce bike lanes on public streets and smart meters on home appliances — efforts they equate to a big-government blueprint against individual rights.
“Down the road, this data will be used against you,” warned one speaker at a recent Roanoke County, Va., Board of Supervisors meeting who turned out with dozens of people opposed to the county’s paying $1,200 in dues to a nonprofit that consults on sustainability issues.
Local officials say they would dismiss such notions except that the growing and often heated protests are having an effect.
In Maine, the Tea Party-backed Republican governor canceled a project to ease congestion along the Route 1 corridor after protesters complained it was part of the United Nations plot. Similar opposition helped doom a high-speed train line in Florida. And more than a dozen cities, towns and counties, under new pressure, have cut off financing for a program that offers expertise on how to measure and cut carbon emissions.
