Deforestation Problem Solved? : Robotic Plants to Reoxygenated Our Earth

Some people said that modern technology causing many environmental problems, but technology also providing us many alternative to solve the problem itself.

Engadget reported that researchers from Chonnam National University has developed robotic plant as substitute of biologic plants to re-oxygenating our earth. This green-oriented robot stands more than four feet, and consists of pot, stem, and five meat-eating buds. As a "plant", it has capability to produce oxygen and moisture, and as a robot it has some additional capability, such as blooming, shaking slightly, and even dancing as response to human nearby. But this plant has great weakness, it has no capability as habitat of soil microorganism and can't produce fruit (who wants to have metal fruit anyway?)

I'm not sure if this metal plant is good alternative for reforestation, but this breakthrough shows that (almost) nothing is impossible for technology development today. But I hope in future this metal plant wouldn't replace organic plant, it's just sad to see everything going artificial...

BBC news reported that miners working for Gem Diamonds in Letseng mine in Lesotho has discovered a huge gem stone, which could be the largest polished round diamond in the world. This stone weights 478 carats and is the 20th largest rough diamond ever found.

What is special about this diamond stone is, it has a potential to yield a 150 carats single stone, which would be bigger than 105 carats Koh-i-Noor diamond on British crown. This diamond is much smaller than Cullinan diamond, the world's biggest rough diamond, but still have a magnificent size, and has a potential to be one of the next legendary diamond.

Really Expensive Gift Wrapping Paper - Real US$ Bills Sheets!

What will you do if you received gift from someone, and wrapped in paper?
Unwrapped it, of course, and looks what inside it. Most of us never care about its wrapping paper, and throw it away to garbage bin.
There's nothing wrong with it, but think it again if you received this wrapping paper.

Edwina Rogers, wife of Washington lobbyist Ed Rogers, wraps her gifts in US$ bills sheets - the real one. Oh gee, US$ rate is very high in my home country (Indonesia) how did she so damned used it only as wrapping paper!?

Watch this video, and just try to think again. Is it a sign of :

1. Victory of capitalism? - Perhaps
2. How "money power" influencing Washington politic elite these days? - Maybe
   
3. Or, US$ rate has declined dramatically, so you'd rather use it as wrapping paper? - I hope so

The world is just awesome.

When police arrive they found Xian stuck face down where he had been stuck for some time. Doctors tried to release some pressure by removing some of his blood, but failed, because his penis has swollen so big. Rescue team had to cut the bench and take it to hospital, sure with Xiang still attached on it.
