Incredibly Intricate 2.5 Ton Carved Marble Manhattan

Yukata Sone received his formal training as an architect, but soon discovered that his penchant for fine details went far beyond merely designing life-size buildings. He began working in marble, carving impossibly detailed landscapes from the cold stone and creating fascinating little worlds.

Happy Birthday, Max Planck!

It’s the birthday of Max Planck, who was born in 1858 in Kiel, Germany. As a student he was advised against going into physics because, said his professor, “in this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few holes.” Decades later, he did more than fill in a hole. By applying Ludwig Boltzmann’s statistical approach to thermodynamics and assuming that radiation is emitted in discrete quanta, he could account for the entire black body spectrum

this guy is plain cool! yes, he’s THAT Planck. the one who made a constant (h; in E=hc/λ) and one of the founders of quantum mechanics (and its theories—if anyone’s still interested, LOL). happy belated birthday, Sir! (FYI his birthday is on April 23)

Saw this picture on imgur and just had to post it here, because this is without a doubt, one of the most badass women alive. Meet Katrina Hodge, a corporal in the British Army and Miss England 2009. According to Wikipedia, she enlisted back in 2004 after her brother challenged her to and earned the nickname “Combat Barbie” after showing up at her assigned unit wearing false eyelashes, kitten heels (whatever those are) and carry a pink suitcase. In 2005 her unit, the Royal Anglian Regiment, was deployed to Iraq, where she saved the lives of her comrades from a prisoner by wrestling not one, but two rifles from him and then knocking his ass out with her bare hands.

With her bare hands.

Then in 2009, she decided to compete in the Miss England competition to destroy stereotypes about women in the military. She didn’t win (she placed runner-up), but still became Miss England after the woman who did got into a fight and gave up the crown. While Miss England, Hodge convinced the people running the competition to ditch the bikini contest, because she felt that it was more important to be a role model than looking good in a bikini.

In 2010, she handed over the crown and returned to military service, being deployed to Afghanistan.

This woman is both a BAMF and a HBIC. Damn.

Beef Roses of the Day: For the carnivore in your life: The “Steak Bouquet” by butcher Antony Bowness of the Quality Standard Beef and Lamb in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

“I get asked every year what I’d like for Valentine’s Day and I never know what to suggest,” says Bowness. ”Soppy cards aren’t really my thing and it got me thinking about what I could make for other men out there like me. I had a ‘Eureka’ moment one day when a customer came in with a bunch of flowers. I started playing around with the idea and realized it was actually quite easy to do! I mean if you can make a dress from meat, then why not a bunch of roses?”

Yeah. Why not.

[hungeree.]

happy val’s day, meat-lovers!
