Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this week:

Elegant Embellishments has created "a decorative, three-dimensional architectural tile that can reduce vehicular air pollution, including nitrous oxide and ground-level ozone."  Link.

Scientists have created a new element (still un-named) by mashing together calcium and californium, a manmade element.  The new element contained 118 protons in its nucleus making it the heaviest element and first manmade inert gas.  The new element will be placed beneath radon on the periodic table.  Link.

A 10,000 year old meteorite has been found in Kansas.  Link.

Watch this man lift an over 19,000 lb slab of rock similar to those found in Stonehenge. 

Convert your mobile home into a beautiful, environmentally conscience living space through TrailerWrap.

Have a good weekend!

Take a gander at these images from around the world. 

SUVs are so over-rated.  After seeing what a tiny moped can carry, I think SUVs are a thing of the past.  Seriously, they can carry 5 adults comfortably or at least 7 pigs.  I'm sold.

Here is a beautiful gallery of spirals found in nature and our daily life surroundings.  Beautiful photography!

Here is a very cool periodic table of elements which uses the top Google image result for each element.  Most of the images look legit except for Xenon -- She must be a famous Chemist or something.

Here is a gallery of photoshopped animals made to look like food or plantlife.  I have to be honest and say that I was a little weirded out by some of the images, but the artists get an A+ for creativity. 

I don't think I'll be eating kiwis anytime soon.  Poor little guy.
