The problem is that Chicago's building code requires commercial buildings to use copper pipes in indoor plumbing. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers specifically states that drainpipes for waterless urinals "cannot be made of copper pipe, which corrodes."

Ironically, the urinals were a "gift," and are now being replaced at an embarrassing undisclosed cost. And now a pun: City Hall pisses away our tax dollars as usual.

(CNN, VICE News) Colombian tailor Miguel Caballero specializes in making garments that enable the wearer to get shot at point-blank range with nary an injury besides, maybe, a bruised ego. At-high-risk-of-catching-a-bullet demographics, such as rappers and politicians all over the world, rely on Miguel's handiwork. And, lucky me, when I was recently in Bogota for VBS.TV covering a few stories, I had the chance to visit Miguel's shop, learn about his protective clothing, and get shot in the gut by him.

The coffee was preroasted and flavored as french vanilla, which I cold brewed overnight and mixed with sweetened cream and cocoa powder, and topped with ice cream and charred marshmallows. They really bring out the fruitiness in the coffee and chocolate, which brings out the fruitiness in me.

As my business partner and I near financial backing for our web design business my art interest has sky rocketed.

Partially because I have a born again interest in photo manipulation and partially because I have a full interest in doing what I want.

It's hard for me to imagine anyone outside of Ben Wicks wearing this jacket. But Ben is not a track jacket kind of guy... so it's actually hard to imagine anyone would wear this.

If the fashion police had a plasma gun, anyone seen with this jacket would be melted into oblivion.

This little black box is an installed art piece called "A Tool To Deceive and Slaughter."

Apparently it perpetually sells itself on eBay. The purchaser of the box must agree to connect it to the internet as soon as they receive it. The box apparently pings eBay every 10 minutes to see if there is an auction going for it. Read about it here, and see the auction here.

Editors Note: I do not read Gizmodo, but that site was the most credible source I could find with information about it.

I didn't keep up all too well without the late night bullshit, but I am sad to see Conan go I reckon. I haven't really watched his show since I was in college. But this is great:
