Mark Williams, owner and head designer of Imagine That Laser Art Products, was commissioned for an unusual project to build a 1/48th scale replica of Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field. I can imagine the conversation went a little something like this: Bratty, Rich Brooklyn Dodgers Fan: I want a 1/48 scale replica of Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field.

Bratty, Rich Brooklyn Dodgers Fan: I just want Ebbets Field! With railings that are hand soldered, hand tied screens attached to each railings, 31,000 green-coloured seat bottoms that fold up, 1,000 lights that illuminate brightly, a hot dog stand, ticket windows, even some pigeon poop running down the side walls and a bird’s nest tucked in under the roof. Mark Williams: Why… why are you yelling at me? Bratty, Rich Brooklyn Dodgers Fan: Make me the stadium, clown! Mark Williams: All right, I’m going to make you the stadium. But I don’t want to make you a stadium. Bratty, Rich Brooklyn Dodgers Fan: Shut your mouth, funny guy, and make it. Mark Williams:[later] Take that, you hyena, don’t say thank more »
What is Vodka? To understand what vodka is, we need to first understand distillation. The basic idea of distillation is to take a beer or wine; something with an alcohol, and boil it until the ethanol turns into a steam vapor. In a pot still (the least efficient way of distilling) this vapor will travel up the still and once at the top cascades down a side pipe (line arm) this piping is then cooled by a cold water on the outside of the metal causing the vapor inside the pipe to condense back into alcohol.
Teddy wins! Teddy wins! For the first time, the Teddy Roosevelt mascot won the Presidents Race in the middle of the fourth inning at Nationals Park — a pursuit that drew attention even from a White House spokesman and Sen.

Teddy — Mr. Rough Rider, himself — had lost 534 times since 2006, according to ESPN’s research department, when the Washington Nationals began having races among 10-foot-tall foam renderings of Roosevelt, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln at home games.
John F. Kennedy was a man of the people. So when he went up against Richard Nixon in the 1960 Presidential election JFK did what he does best, traveled 40,000 miles, across all 50 states in a matter of month to meet, face to face, with tens of thousands of potential voters. What you are about to see is largest collection of photos from JFK’s 1960 election ever assembled. The photos are very rare and show a different age in campaigning where television was an emerging promotional tool and people still had direct access to candidates.

But Reddit found the University of Pittsburgh student’s brief filmography — he has a bit part in the new Tom Cruise flick Jack Reacher as “Suspicious Onlooker” — so amusing that Rhodes’ page got a decent amount of traffic.
