5 Cool Things On The Internet (Vol IX)

Here is our (semi) weekly edition of cool things on the internet!

1. Cool things on the internet to buy: these beautiful Pantone Christmas Balls

File this under Want Want WANT!!! I envision a tree with all the different colors. Or maybe a Tiffany Blue and Black…..

Is it just me or do they sort of in a weird way look like billiard balls?

2. Roller Coasters Are American Mountains

One of the cool random cool things on the internet is finding out new ways to say or write t hings. I found out today that the Russian word for Roller Coaster is:

американские горки

And it literally means “American Mountains.” Who knew?

3. The Titanic Movie Is More Expensive Than The Real Thing

If we take inflation as a consideration, the budget of the Titanic movie is significantly higher than that of the real ship itself. If computed and converted to 1997 dollars, the budget of the real Titanic will be around $120 million to $150 million. Wherein the movie’s budget was $200 million. Wow!

4. Cool things on the internet Retro Weird Thing

Hot wax bath anyone? I can think of a few reasons this might be painful for some folks, but if it’s soft wax, it might feel wickedly good. Don’t try this at home! Cuz, I don’t know…but just don’t.
