For their autumn/winter 2007 collection, Dutch avant garde fashion designers Viktor and Rolf created this:
The show started from the premise that each model should be a self-contained fashion show, so they hobbled down the catwalk attached to scaffolding rigged with spotlights and speakers piping out a different tune for each ensemble.

More than 8,900 people frantically flapped in the snow on Saturday, February 17, 2007 at the State Capitol grounds in North Dakota to break the record for the most snow angels ever made.

An 80-feet tall giant pile of wood chip and mulch in Helotes, Texas, dubbed "the Helotes Volcano" has been burning since the day after Christmas 2006!
The fire itself has become a sort of perverse tourist attraction. We drove out to gawk at the scene during a weekend trip to San Antonio, and we had company – other visitors who want to see a real live environmental disaster close up.
It’s like looking at a miniature volcano, a vast charred moonscape with stinking smoke billowing out of craters and fissures across its surface. From upwind, it’s kind of interesting. From downwind, it’s unbearable.
The pile took years to create. It’s owned by a private contractor, licensed to dispose of brush and debris cleared to make way for new homes and developments in the fast-growing Hill Country.
With the drought in recent years, though, emergency bans outlawed burning the waste in manageable batches, Mr. Allan said. So the pile grew bigger. And bigger. And bigger.
"Everybody knew it was a problem," he said. The pile grew into a mulch mountain, as tall as an eight-story building, as long as two football fields.

Moritz Waldemeyer created this pong table with embedded LED lights and touchpads to create a truly interactive gaming table.
The Pong table is a dining table made from DuPont Corian with an aluminium base. There are 2500 LEDs integrated into the table top, together with two track pads they recreate the classic Pong game. When turned off, the integrated technology disappears completely, leaving a simple, beautiful and practical dining table.
Another cool clock from Art. Lebedev studio (this one’s making the round on the Net):
The Verbarius clock answers the question “What time is it?” writing a different reply every time it’s asked: it’s either forty-five minutes past four, or fifteen minutes to five, or four forty-five, or a quarter to five.

Fat and unattractive, … er "demonstrating lack of commitment to meet recruitment goals?" Delta Zeta sorority doesn’t want you around:
Worried that a negative stereotype of the sorority was contributing to a decline in membership that had left its Greek-columned house here half empty, Delta Zeta’s national officers interviewed 35 DePauw members in November, quizzing them about their dedication to recruitment. They judged 23 of the women insufficiently committed and later told them to vacate the sorority house.
The 23 members included every woman who was overweight. They also included the only black, Korean and Vietnamese members. The dozen students allowed to stay were slender and popular with fraternity men — conventionally pretty women the sorority hoped could attract new recruits. Six of the 12 were so infuriated they quit.
“Virtually everyone who didn’t fit a certain sorority member archetype was told to leave,” said Kate Holloway, a senior who withdrew from the chapter during its reorganization.
