Leaf Carvings: Cars, Trucks & Airplanes Cut Into Leaves

There's been a lot of leaf carvings featured around the Internet over the past few months. When I first started seeing them, my brain didn't really get it.

Combating Global Warming: Simple Action Steps

I read something the other day that said most people don't understand what global warming is.

This Is What A Typical Person Looks Like: Are You Typical?
