Beer and brick have both been essential to humanity for thousands of years, dual pillars that helped us build the societies we know today. Now, scientists have combined them, fortifying bricks with grains left over from breweries to create bricks that keep a building better insulated. Turns out beer really can keep you warm on a cold day.

Building Block Aircraft Carrier
Posted in: Today's Chili
In this day and age, despite the massive advancements made in warfare, having an aircraft carrier as part of your military power is still a crucial element. After all, no country is large enough to be able to have military bases placed all over the world so that they can respond to threats in the shortest time possible, which is why an aircraft carrier is such an important element to project your power across the seven seas. Isn’t 70% of the earth covered in water, anyways? Just to underline the importance of the aircraft carrier in any navy to your little one, you might want to start him or her young with the $299.95 Building Block Aircraft Carrier.
This happens to be the building block kit which creates a 44″ long aircraft carrier that will be able to be the king of the seas – at least in a playroom. Building it is no mean feat, as life for the aircraft carrier starts off in a mock dry dock on a table or floor thanks to a detailed instruction guide which will let you know how to put together all 3,016 colored pieces in order to make up the streamlined hull, overhanging deck, and island. Heck, the Building Block Aircraft Carrier itself even comes with nine jet aircraft that are supported by an ammunition truck which will carry various ordnances that can be snapped under the wings of each jet. On the detailed deck, you will find a ski-slope ramp for speedier take-offs, working jet blast deflectors, and point defense weaponry which take up their positions on port and starboard sides. Heck, I’d want one for myself, too!

Lego and Google Chrome team up, want to cover Australasia in your models and plastic bricks (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Lego has allied itself with Google’s Chrome browser, creating a web app that lets users craft their own houses, creatures and models, and then delicately place them across the whole of Australia and New Zealand. Celebrating 50 years of pre-teen Lego architecture in the Land Down Under, you can grab a plot of land from the source, start throwing some bricks together now and share your creations on the very public map and Google+. According to the Australia’s Daily Telegraph, Lego Build hopes to roll out globally through Chrome later this year, but one continent should keep us busy until Google’s I/O conference kicks off later this week.
