Before it was demolished in 1993, the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong was said to be the most densely populated spot on the planet, housing 50,000 people in just 0.026 km², giving it a population density of 1,900,000 / km². More amazing photos at deputydog, and a much more detailed history on Wikipedia. (via J-Walk)




You thought your beach was crowded? An estimated 200,000 Chinese crowded onto this popular resort (from a story printed last August, but still...)

How To Remove CD Scratches With A Banana (via J-Walk)

Does his really work? Really? I just am not convinced yet, and since I currently have no bananas in the house, I won't be able to put it to the test just now. The reasons I am skeptical are twofold:

1) The lighting in this video makes it difficult to see whether there really are all that many scratches in the first place, and at the end, equally difficult to tell whether those supposed scratches are now gone.

2) I heard from multiple sources that toothpaste is also a miracle CD scratch remover. I gave it a try on a really super-scratchy CD and couldn't tell any difference at all. Do any of these home-remedies really work? I used Colgate Total Toothpaste (not gel... I know the gel won't work)

If this guy can draw that using what he did, just imagine what he could do if given even more advanced drawing tools such as a charred stick or a piece of chalk and a wall...

This one's not for the ladies...

Blog on a Toothpick posted a link to this great article on why Real Men Love The Fifth Element, which is still one of my favorite sci-fi flicks. The pic above is the bizarro spazz who tries to mug Bruce Willis's character Dallas Korben wearing a hat with a photo of Korben's hallway (in order to fool him when he looked through the peephole).

Also worthy of mention are the companion articles covering two more movies among my favorites:

Real Men Love Grosse Pointe Blank

and


Real Men Love Robocop.


Video bonuses!

The bounty of YouTube provides the following:

The classic ED-209 scene... (uber-violent, NOT for the squeamish)



The Fifth Element in its entirety (in 13 parts). The mugger scene mentioned above is during the last two minutes of part 2, if you're interested.
