I am not sure how old this is. First time I have seen it. Enjoy!

Those crazy folks from Utah. If it’s not searching for naked women on the net then it’s drinking a case of beer a night and never tossing the empties away. Instead the Utah native stashed the beer cans anywhere he could find room in his Ogden, Utah townhouse. However after a few years, space became scarce. A few years later, it was unlivable. And then a few years later, the almost-always-drunk Utahn finally moved out leaving the 70,000 cans as a lasting reminder of his 3,000 day binge.

It appears that he drank Coors Light exclusively and didn’t venture out much other than to restock. In fact Kirk Martin, the local mail carrier didn’t even deliver mail to the townhouse, thinking it was vacant.

Ryan Froerer of Century 21 discovered the scene, snapped a few photos, emailed them to a few friends and which have since become an Internet sensation. Froerer acts as unofficial spokesperson for the still-unnamed hero to countless men around the world for both his drinking ability as well as his 8-year “I’ll take out the trash later” attitude. Froerer reports that the man has now stopped drinking and is back at his old job.

Finally, I have been waiting for this for years!

Evolution on Win32

Toronto Hydro, the electrical authority in Toronto, has spent decades building electrical substations that are disguised as typical family houses:

In 1987, Canadian photographer Robin Collyer began documenting houses that aren’t houses at all – they’re architecturally-disguised electrical substations, complete with windows, blinds, and bourgeois landscaping.

“During the 1950s and 1960s,” Collyer explains in a recent issue of Cabinet Magazine, “the Hydro-Electric public utilities in the metropolitan region of Toronto built structures known as ‘Bungalow-Style Substations.’ These stations, which have transforming and switching functions, were constructed in a manner that mimics the style and character of the different neighborhoods.”

What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It’s amazing and completely insane.
