xkcd’s Tetris Heaven cartoon has been brought to life in the form of this playable Flash game that actually makes with the good pieces just when you need them. You can still lose, but you’d want to be really bad at Tetris.

Maybe we’re overthinking this.

Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton has said there needs to be a public inquiry into the events that led to the EU/IMF bailout.
Her comments follow former Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan’s remarks in a BBC radio documentary, that the European Central Bank ‘forced’ Ireland to take the bailout.
Ms Burton says all those who sat around the Cabinet table of the last government need to come before a Dáil inquiry to answer questions about what happened.

“I have a very vivid memory of going to Brussels on the final Monday and being on my own at the airport and looking at the snow gradually thawing and thinking to myself: this is terrible. No Irish minister has ever had to do this before”.

It’s 369 feet high – about twice the size of the Statue of Liberty (minus the foundation) and it’s somewhere in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, but “Stratosphere Giant,” as it’s known, it is no longer the tallest tree in the world.
After its short four-year reign as World’s Tallest, two hikers, Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor, were deep in another section of another park, Redwood National Park (purchased in 1978 during the Carter administration) when they came across a new stand of trees, taller than anyone had ever seen before. The tallest of the tall is 379 feet 4 inches, 10 feet taller than the Giant. It’s now called “Hyperion.”

Nordisk Cryobank (European Sperm Bank) is one of Europe’s leading sperm banks and the company was looking at environmentally-friendly alternatives to how they could transport their sperm samples to the fertility clinics around Greater Copenhagen.
This is what they came up with. It’s called the Sperm Bullitt.
Let’s hope it never crashes into the Oestrogen Cycle.
