A chair made of torpedo-launcher parts just wouldn’t say “come hither” to techy ladies in the same way as this bed from Motoart. Dubbed Mile High, you can tell it’s aimed at the sexier end of the geek furniture market, partly as it’s marketed with a “a wonderful playground for you and your co-pilot” slogan, and especially when you notice the line of glowing red LEDs that pimp the frame’s lower edge. The 3.4 by 2.3 metre bed is made of two DC-9 stabiliser fins and a C-130 inner flap. And if there’s a particular aviator you want to attract between the sheets, you’ll likely have to save up: it’s price on application only, which generally means lots of dollars. [MotoArt via TFTS]
newVideoPlayer("orgyroom_giz.flv", 494, 296,""); Here’s one of Boeing Dreamliner’s most closely guarded secrets: the Orgy Room. Boeing likes to call it “the Crew Quarters” but, come on, what images does this cozy compartment, hidden in the top of the composite fuselage bring to mind? Here’s a hint: it has six tightly packed beds for flight attendants, who use them to “have siestas” when the flights are too long. What. Ever. [Fortune]
Sure, the Burj Dubai tower looks amazingly tall, but it’s final height— currently projected to be 700 metres— is less than half that of a new building planned for Saudi Arabia. It’s going to be 1,600 metres high. Yup, that’s 1.6 kilometres tall: taller than anything under construction anywhere, and making it easily the world’s tallest building. Think they should stick a TV antenna on the top and go for that little bit extra? I sure do.
