Heavy illegal downloaders buy more music
A new British independent poll conducted by Ipsos Mori concluded that the people who do the most illegal downloading also buy the most music. This is in line with many other studies elsewhere and is easy to understand: people who are music superfans do more of everything to do with music: they see m... More.
Office Karaoke Video Makes Cubicle Life Fun
There are times I envy those who have to get dressed and go work with other people. Like, for instance, when I watch this awesome karaoke video. I haven't worked in a real office since 2006, so I'm left to conclude that you all totally have this much fun every day. Right? P.S., the best part of t... More.
Saturday Morning Science Experiment: B.F. Skinner Makes A Pigeon Do His Bidding
Another fun experiment you can try at home! Although, given pigeons' tendency to carry disease, I'd recommend training a cat, spouse or younger sibling. The video, sadly, winks out right as the expert is being brought in to explain Skinner's research. So, instead, enjoy this explanation of the pig... More.

Review: A bouncy, anti-gravity workout with the new AlterG treadmill
When I finished my first half-marathon last month, I experienced what it felt like to run on the ground for two hours. But what is it like to run in a gravity-reduced vacuum? When AlterG offered me the chance to demo their new "anti-gravity" treadmill, I couldn't resist. I jumped in my car and heade... More.

Wants to see the backside of this! Perhaps there's something diabolical.
bet they peeled the stickers off rather than solve each puzzle to show the correct colours.
4,050 is not a perfect square. They probably used 4,096 cubes. Just saying'
I'll go count my steps and wash my hands 100 times now.
I'm guessing 45x90 or 75x54. Ok I'll stop now.
Why do you think the number of cubes needs to be a perfect square? That would be necessary if the height and width of the overall work were equal. But they aren't.
The number of cubes does need to be composite (not prime), however!
There's a funny version of the Last Supper with Smurfs:

To the reporter in that video: I know you probably think Canada is a strange and foreign place, but trust me, Da Vinci and Rubik's Cubes is still a strange combo up here.
Would Andy Warhol Appreciate this? goes great with the exhibition in Milwaukee of his last supper pieces.
My friends used to make Rubik's Cube art on a MUCH smaller scale. Each week at our game night for a while someone would bring in a new pattern, idea, or picture to make.

I'm surprised Invader didn't get to this idea first.
