Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England
Seriously, I’m willing to bet that even the Queen of England doesn’t actually know what all she’s supposed to be ruling over! Heck, I just watched this video and even I can’t repeat what I just heard.

Photos From Virgin Airline’s DFW Launch Party with Richard Branson and Willie Nelson
December 9, 2010 By 4 Comments
Last week I headed on down to the Dallas Opera for the Virgin America party to commemorate the commencement of service from LAX to DFW airport. This marks Virgin’s arrival into the Dallas area, which is extremely signifigant because Dallas is the headquarters for two major airlines, American and Southwest, and DFW is also:
- Fourth largest airport in the world by land area.
- Third busiest as measured by aircraft movement.
- Eighth busiest in terms of passenger transport.
- So big it has its own post office, ZIP code, and public services.
And Virgin clearly understands the signifigance of reaching into the DFW metroplex with its 6.5 million plus residents. So much so that Sir Richard Branson himself was present for the opening, and he brought along a surprise guest to entertain the attendees – Willie Nelson!

The Chinese Can Build 15-Story Hotel in Six days! Why Can’t We?
November 22, 2010 By 6 Comments
A construction crew in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha completed a 15-story hotel in just six days! Holy crap! When you take a look at the amazing pace, organization and precision of the work it makes you think that the US absolutely SUCKS at construction!
And by the way, the Chinese aren’t putting up crappy buildings that you wouldn’t want to be caught dead in! Just take a look at the amazing buildings Trey Ratcliff captured on his recent trip to China over on StuckInCustoms.com.
Anyway, here is the description from Yahoo News on this new building:
The work crew erected the hotel — a soundproofed, thermal-insulated structure reportedly built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake — with all prefabricated materials. In other words, a crew of off-site factory workers built the sections, and their on-site counterparts arranged them on the foundation for the Ark project.
Despite the frenetic pace of construction, no workers were injured — and thanks to the prefab nature of the process, the builders wasted very few construction materials. Below is a time-lapse video that shows the hotel being built from the ground up in less than a week:
