Visualize world pees
If you’re a fan of answering nature’s call, in nature, urine luck. Pees on Earth is a collection of photos by Ellen Jong, who documented herself poppin’ squats all over the world.

Chinese checkers
Confucius say: Turn the lights off, yo. In an effort to curb power use, “energy police” will begin patrolling shopping malls and office buildings in Beijing, fining profligate power users. No doubt energy po-po will pop up in American malls any day, making sure the lights are too bright, air conditioning too cold, and music too loud.
