- Garden in a bottle, anyone? This miniature ecosystem has been thriving in an almost completely isolated state for more than forty years. It has been watered just once in that time. The original single spiderwort plant has grown and multiplied, putting out seedlings. As it has access to light, it continues to photosynthesize. The water builds up on the inside of the bottle and then rains back down on the plants in a miniature version of the water cycle. As leaves die, they fall off and rot at the bottom producing the carbon dioxide and nutrients required for more plants to grow. ______________ derangedbutterfly

ghetto a/c?  yup. did this. in college. in fact it was this sort of problem-solving shit that led to my great success today. ok, well maybe not.  we didn’t think to use a container—just slit an opening, hooked the entire bag of ice to the top of one of those huge, metal 1960’s-style floor and window fans that sound like a jet plane taking off, then later argued over who was gonna’ mop up the mess.  but here’s one thing for sure—it works. as long as you are willing to sit very still (exerting energy of any kind voids the entire deal), drink loads of cold stuff, and not leave the room it is going in, that shit is just like the Royal Penthouse Suite at the Conrad Bali.  just like it. _____________________________________ ghettoredhot:(via Its so hot in the ghetto today)

Doors keyboardist Manzarek dies at 74

Ray Manzarek, a founding member of the 1960s rock group The Doors whose versatile and often haunting keyboards complemented Jim Morrison’s gloomy baritone and helped set the mood for some of rock’s most enduring songs, has died.
