Airbus A380 “Private Jet”

The famous quote says that the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. When you place a Middle Eastern dignitary in the equation, you’ll have this difference at it’s tipping point.

What am I talking about? Well, I am talking about a toy that will cost 150 million dollars, yeap, US$ 150,000,000.00. That’s the price of a new Airbus A380 “private jet” soon to be delivered to this unknown dignitary. Actually, a Flying Palace fits more the new toy description.

Besides the fully-equipped board room, cozy relaxing zone, the pimped-out jet features a grand entrance, VIP lounge with five couches and a tucked away wet bar that is fully equipped with a refrigerator, a wine chiller and a microwave and a dining room with a 70-inch flat screen and 42-inch pop-up monitors. There is even a secluded area off the private dining room on the upper deck that is designed to enjoy desert retreats. The jet’s 6,640 square-foot cabin is designed by designer Edese Doret.

World’s most exclusive Hotel reaches Palais de Tokyo in Paris

Cast your beady eyes on the world’s most exclusive hotel, the Everland. Designed by Swiss artist-duo Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann, Everland is a one-room designer prefab perched 30 meters above ground level that enjoys a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. In October 2007, the one suite hotel Everland moved from the roof of the Leipzig Gallery of Contemporary Art to the roof of the Paris ‘Palais de Tokyo’ where it will be open to guests for an overnight stay and museum visit during the day until the end of 2008. The one-of-its-kind hotel has only one room, including a bathroom, a king-size bed and a lounge. The ample dimensioned room shows the subjective dream of a hotel - the architecture and the playful details.

Sabina Lang cited - It’s absurd to have a one-room hotel and it’s never going to be a success as a business plan. We just like to play around with the idea of exclusivity and luxury. The Everland hotel is not cheap, however. To stay in such an exclusive hotel, guests pay €333 (US $488.44) a night during the week and €444 (US $651.79) at weekends.

Rinspeed sQuba Concept Car

Rinspeed sQuba Concept Car features dive and drive

Mover Q your amphibious car designs are redundant, maybe they were good enough for the previous spies but the next-gen demands a more synced-up version. In case you need to take pointers, make sure you are there at the Geneva Motor Show (March 6th thru 16th, 2008), where Swiss design company Rinspeed will showcase their sQuba Concept Car. The makers claim that it is the world's first real diving car. And if its aquatic feats were not enough, the car can (at the push of a button) drive autonomously. It can dive to the depth of up to 10 meters (33 feet). The "sQuba" fulfills Rinspeed's boss Frank M. Rinderknecht long cherished dream of creating something that marries fictitious movie concepts to reality. Thus taking inspiration from "The spy who loved me", sQuba features an electric motor with powerful torque that drives the rear wheels. The thrust on the water is ensured by two propellers in the stern and two powerful jet drives in the bow propel the vehicle under water while diving. The car promises zero emissions thus zero pollution to the water. The light weight body with components made of futuristic Carbon Nano Tubes encloses in a streamlined manner the driver and passenger who are supplied with fresh breathing air by the self-contained on-board system.

Rinspeed sQuba Concept Car is a one-off car. No commercial production is planned.

Smallest Girl in the World

Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, known around the world as "the littlest angel", was born Feb.13, 2003, weighing just 2 lbs, 8 ounces. Doctors were at a loss as to why she was born so small and told her parents this little miracle baby likely wouldn't live through the night. But she did.

She continued to defy doctors expectations and at the age of 8 months, Kenadie was finally diagnosed with primordial dwarfism, a genetic condition that is believed to affect only about 100 people in the world. She isn't expected to grow past about 30 inches or weigh more than 8 pounds.

Nearing the age of four, Kenadie now walks, runs, laughs, smiles and is beginning to talk. But, perhaps more importantly, it's the way Kenadie makes people feel that is her strongest achievement.

She may be small but no one would argue that this little girl has an enormous effect on people throughout the world.
