If it's Wednesday, then it's time to drift your AC Cobra in your living room. No, sorry, your '74 Chevy Vega, though technically a classic car, will not look as cool. -via Jalopnik

Michael Grab is an artist who works in an unusual medium: balanced rocks. He stacks rocks from rivers on top of each other with no additional connections. It is a meditative act for him, as well as an exploration of "notions of impermanence and death." Check out his gallery at the link. http://www.gravityglue.com/Gallery.html -via Boing Boing (where there's a video)

Crater Lake is a pristine body of water set inside a caldera in Oregon. One noteworthy feature of it is a thirty-foot long log that has been drifting around in the water for more than one hundred years. It's called the "Old Man of the Lake":

It was first discovered in 1896 by a man named Joseph Diller, who, six years later, would later publish the first geology of the park. He noted the presence of a large piece of wood which was completely untethered, able to move throughout the lake as dictated by the wind and waves.

The Old Man's movements can be erratic and extensive. In 1938, researchers tracked the Old Man's movement over three months, beginning in July, and by the end of the observation period in September, the Old Man traveled over sixty miles. In order to keep boats safe, those who sail on Crater Lake, as a matter of course, advise their fellow boat pilots of the Old Man's position.

A Korean artist named Chan Girl Park creates sculptures out of steel cross-sections of his subject matter. Each assembly is held together with perpendicular rods. He also welds steel nuts together to form smooth surfaces for figure studies. You can view a Korean-language description of his work at the link, or a gallery of some of his finer works at Colossal.

Well, who wouldn't want to smell like Old Blood and Guts? Here's your chance. The US Army has licensed a cologne inspired by General George Patton:

It’s advertised as a woodsy blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, cedar, sage, tonka bean, bergamot, lime, and the ad copy says it will “elicit feelings of majestic woodlands and endless horizons.”

The US Air Force has one, too. It's called "Stealth". The Marines' cologne is called "Devil Dog".

A few years ago, we mentioned that Keiko Fukuda of San Francisco is a judo master, despite advanced age, arthritis, and triple bypass surgery. Now, at the age of 98, she's been awarded the highest rank in that martial art:

Only three people in the world, all men living in Japan, have ever reached that mark.

The martial arts promotion by USA Judo brought 98-year-old Fukuda to tears at the women's dojo where she still teaches in Noe Valley.[...]

She gave up marriage and left her homeland to dedicate her life to judo, fighting gender discrimination that kept her at lower belt levels decades longer than men less skilled than she.
