Whenever I cross a sign that says "dip", I always reach into my pocket for my can of Skoal... Family isn't usually amused.

World's Longest Sea Bridge Opened In China



The world's longest bridge over sea water has opened in opened to general traffic on in China's eastern coastal city of Qingdao. Jiaozhou Bay is located on the southern coast of the Shandong Peninsula in East China. It separates Huangdao District from Qingdao City and borders on two other cities, Jiaozhou and Jiaonan. The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, with a total length of 42.4 kilometres would easily cross the English Channel and is almost three miles longer than the previous record-holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in the American state of Louisiana. Built in just four years at a cost of 55.5 billion pounds, the sheer scale of the bridge reveals the advances made by Chinese engineers in recent years.

A Snow Explosion


Via

Snow explosion in .gif form from last week's blizzards all over the country. Yeah it's already old news by now, but too good not to post at all. Wonder if the guy knew it was packed-on up there like that? If he did, I can imagine his anticipation for hitting the first overpass he got to!

What Is So Unusual About This Sign?

OK so the last week or two I've seen this picture posted all over the Interwebnets, grouped with pictures such that there is an implication that it is odd, or unusual, or hilarious, or something.

These signs are everywhere! ATM drive-thrus, fast food restaurants, airports, and yes bridges. Maybe they're just everywhere in Texas or something, but I just don't understand why everyone thinks this is such a unusual sign. On the contrary, it's very clever, and has been around a long time!

Speaking of drive-thrus...

The Ingenious China-Hong Kong Flipper Bridge



One of the most vexing aspects of traveling between mainland China and Hong Kong is the car travel: People in the former drive on the right side of the road; people in the latter drive on the left (a vestige of the British empire).

So to quell confusion at the border and, more importantly, to keep cars from smashing into each other, the Dutch firm NL Architects proposed a brilliant, simple solution, the Flipper bridge.

The bridge does exactly what the name suggests: It flips traffic around. The key here is separating the two sides of traffic, using a figure-eight shape. One side of the road dips under the other, funneling cars that were traveling on the left to the right (and vice versa), without forcing them to encounter head-on traffic at an intersection. The bridge makes what should be a disorienting switch exquisitely easy.
