POPSThe rudest travel book ever written A vintage version of the kind of person waxes so strongly about something he/she could not possibly have any insight on; in this case foreign lands by someone who's who's never stepped out of his/her immediate borders (city/country). This would be a 19th century masterpiece if ignorance were a collectible... Check out more splendid ignorance @ source. :p

POPSNeither car nor motorbike: Acabion GTBO Not a car or motorbike, the pod/suppository shaped "vehicle" called the Acabion GTBO costs from 1.83Million EUROS. I imagine they're counting on some buyers to think that the 250 mph at 17% throttle & 25 miles/gallon is worth the price...

POPSFugitive otter recaptured after month on the run Unfortunately, I couldn't get a quote from Jin herself as she is busy considering the numerous book/movie deals being thrown her way in the aftermath of her daring journey. However, her publicist did say her client is also considering suing the NZ press for labeling her a "fugitive". ;)

POPSMore titillating infographics: Product Space & Development of Nations Cool infographic showing material types, products, proximity of manufacture, world trade volumes of each. According to the brief, "proximity" here refers to the theory that a country's ability to manufacture a product (e.g. apples) depends on its ability to produce related ones (e.g. another fruit like pears). Part of information supporting the paper The Product Space Conditions the Development of Nations (Hidalgo, Klinger, Barabasi, Hausmann). There is also a page where you can download individual country maps. Via VisualComplexity .
