Estimates using Google Earth and other photos suggested that the span might be the largest in the world."

My uncle is insane. He also lives in a cave. [img heavy]
"The walls are made of stone, intricately carved out into an art form reminiscent of the flow seen in ancient Indian art. They looked like lotus petals, almost soft, but overall just aesthetically overwhelming. It was so clean, so fresh... the cool air inside was very refreshing compared to the blistering heat outside. There was a complete working fireplace in the main area that looked like a devilish face. The domes at the top of the cave were fashioned with lights, and the bottoms were covered in a sealant that was pocked with flecks of real gold. This sealant was everywhere actually, with the gold accentuating every curve of this hidden masterpiece."

Astronomers Plan Galaxy-Sized Observatory For Gravitational Waves
"But there's another way. Gravitational waves should also stretch and squeeze pulsars as they pass by, subtly changing the radio pulses they produce. So by monitoring an array of pulsars throughout the galaxy, astronomers should be able to see the effects of nanohertz to microhertz gravitational waves passing by. The array of pulsars should effectively shimmer as the waves wash over it, like a grid of buoys bobbing on the ocean. ... These guys say the next generation of radio telescope arrays such as the Allen Telescope Array in California and the Square Kilometer Array in Australia or South Africa, should be capable of making the required measurements. And the scientific potential of the data is huge."

'Chameleon Guitar' blends old-world and high-tech
"The Chameleon Guitar -- so named for its ability to mimic different instruments -- is an electric guitar whose body has a separate central section that is removable. This inserted section, the soundboard, can be switched with one made of a different kind of wood, or with a different structural support system, or with one made of a different material altogether. Then, the sound generated by the electronic pickups on that board can be manipulated by a computer to produce the effect of a different size or shape of the resonating chamber."

The Seeing Tongue | Science News
"Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are developing this tongue-stimulating system, which translates images detected by a camera into a pattern of electric pulses that trigger touch receptors. The scientists say that volunteers testing the prototype soon lose awareness of on-the-tongue sensations. They then perceive the stimulation as shapes and features in space. Their tongue becomes a surrogate eye."

It also allows you to include multiple video files into a single download. This would allow a content creator to take one of their popular videos and bundle less well known content along with it. Whether it’s including things like Director commentary and bonus scenes with a download or having the ability to attach an upcoming pilot episode to a more popular season finale download, there are many different ways that content creators can leverage this technology in order to create a more compelling video experience for their fans."

How to hallucinate with ping-pong balls and a radio
"Much of what we think of as being out there actually comes from in here, and is a byproduct of how the brain processes sensation. In recent years scientists have come up with a number of simple tricks that expose the artifice of our senses, so that we end up perceiving what we know isn't real - tweaking the cortex to produce something uncannily like hallucinations. Perhaps we hear the voice of someone who is no longer alive, or feel as if our nose is suddenly 3 feet long."

In the future, this breakthrough may help patients with similar injuries produce entire sentences, using signals from their brains."
