Crazy Paving. Or A Very Clever Roading Idea...

Crazy Paving? I don't think so.
The Dutch city of Rotterdam could be the first city in the world to have its streets paved with recycled plastic bottles.
A surface some claim to be greener, quicker to lay and more reliable than asphalt.
Looks like a great idea to me...

French Students Have Designed The Microjoule. A Car That's Able To Travel 3,300 Kilometers On One Litre Of Fuel...

This little car named The Microjoule, can travel two thousand miles on one litre of fuel.
Designed and built by a group of French students at La Joliverie College in Nantes this carbon fibre vehicle weighing only thirty five kilograms was tested on a racetrack in Rotterdam and judged to be able to run 2072 miles or 3,300 kilometers on a litre of fuel.
Or 9,400 miles per gallon.
Evidently you could drive around the world for about twenty six dollars.
Should you want to...

There's This Crazy Cube House In Holland...

This confusing and crazy cube house is also very concerning. Visually it's a disconcerting hotchpotch and you'd be forgiven if you thought there was a few houses here. I really can't make up my mind if it's interesting or not but it does nothing for me, I think it's incredibly ugly and I'm sure the builders had nightmares figuring out how to build the strangely shaped structure.
Whatever, the Crazy Cube House as it's known is situated in the centre of Rotterdam and is available for rent.
There's more about it here along with some photos of the interior.
I don't want to go inside but you might like to...
