Welcome to the party, pal
Is Bruce Willis saying he'd live green or die hard? On David Letterman this week, the fourquel star wore a wind turban and recycled-rubber boxers, joked about "global humidity," and plugged a new film project, An Unappealing Hunch. Uh, what you talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Pipe dreams
Don't be blue on the Danube; sleep easy in a repurposed concrete drain pipe at dasparkhotel, complete with das beds, das pillows, and das skylight. Waltz in any time May-Oktober and pay what you can. Wunderbar!

This job stinks
Got a sensitive schnoz and a no-care approach to life's longevity? Join a crew of "professional noses" in southern China, trained to sniff out the difference between a dump and a chemical plant. They love the smell of toxins in the morning!
Putt 'er there!
We've gotta give kudos to this electric golf cart and its solar-powered comrade for putting the green in, uh, hitting the green. Look for 'em on a low-speed road near you. Fore!
