The world's first underground stadium
This pretty cool underground stadium is planed in Doha, Qatar from the Al-Ahli team. It's called "The Wall" and you play in the underground by getting air only from the air-conditioner. So the very strange form should follow function. The function of this stadium is the underground place and there you don't feel any heat from "above".
The big wall at the left side give this object also the name "The Laptop".
The stadium will open in 2010 and seat only 11,000.
So let's see the Middle East approach with this special stadium to World Cup 2018! This pretty cool underground stadium is planed in Doha, Qatar from the Al-Ahli team. It's called "The Wall" and you pla... more -

Mystery ads on London Underground baffle commuters
Mysterious adverts featuring images of Barack Obama, David Cameron and the CERN particle collider on London Underground platforms have sparked debate among confused commuters and bloggers.
The adverts, which all have bold black backgrounds, started appearing at London Underground stations and on trains earlier this week, and were published in several national newspapers this morning. They contain no text, and there are few clues to what they are promoting.
At least six separate designs have been spotted around London: Barack Obama outside No 10 Downing Street, David Cameron walking past a statue of Winston Churchill, an overweight boy in swimming trunks, a golden football, a section of the Large Hadron Collider, and a stretching woman athlete.
Blogger Rick Lamb was one of the first to notice the posters and post pictures on the internet: “This is obviously a big outdoor campaign for someone, but they are keeping quiet about it and it is generating a decent amount of buzz around London,” he said. “My best guess at the moment is that it's for a news outlet, either a newspaper or TV News, or at a longer shot a new TV show.”
Have you seen one or more of the adverts? What do you think they are for? Do you like the idea of 'mystery advertisement' or does it seem rather pointless to you?

Cavers chart unique 'snowy' river of crystals
Hundreds of feet beneath Earth's surface, a few seasoned cave explorers venture where no human has set foot. Their headlamps illuminate mud-covered walls, gypsum crystals and mineral deposits. The real attraction, though, is under their shoes.
A massive formation that resembles a white river spans the cave's floor. A closer examination reveals that the odd formation is an intricate crust of tiny calcite crystals. The explorers have reached Snowy River — thought to be the longest continuous cave formation in the world.
"I think Snowy River is one of the primo places underground in the world and there's still so much left that we haven't discovered. ... We don't even know how big it is," said Jim Goodbar, a cave specialist with the federal Bureau of Land Management.
The survey expedition by members of the Fort Stanton Cave Study Project in early July added several thousand feet to the measurement of the spectacular formation, which is at least four miles long. The explorers who have been following the passage under the rolling hills of southeastern New Mexico say there's still more of Snowy River to be discovered.
The few who have walked on the formation say they've seen nothing else like it. Early studies point to its uniqueness: Already, some three dozen species of microbes previously unknown to science have been uncovered.
New Mexico's two U.S. senators are pushing for Congress to designate Fort Stanton Cave and Snowy River as a national conservation area. The designation would protect the area from such activities as mining that threaten the water flows that created the cave. It also might generate funding for scientific research.
"It's certainly a national treasure and very well worth protecting in its own right, even without Snowy River. With Snowy River, it puts it in the class of world-class caves," said John McLean, a retired hydrologist and member of the cave study group.
"It's a beautiful anomaly," added Penny Boston, a New Mexico Tech professor and associate director of the National Cave and Karst Research Institute
Boston says extreme environments such as Snowy River provide scientists an opportunity to explore life on the fringes.
"The idea is that we're practicing to go to Mars, we're practicing to go to Europa (a moon of Jupiter) and all of these other places," she said. "It's very difficult to even prove some of the things we've studied here on this planet are alive. Imagine how much harder that is when you translate that to a robotic mission millions of miles from Earth."
Boston has collected microorganisms that she believes are responsible for the manganese crust that covers much of the walls in the Snowy River passage. Once thought to be ancient and inactive, the microbes are busy in her lab, breaking down materials and producing mineral compounds.
Boston and other scientists plan to take core samples of Snowy River to look for microbes that have been entombed in the calcite layer and for fossil evidence of past microscopic life. Some scientists are looking to the cave to learn more about the region's geology and how water makes its way through the arid environment.
Last summer, explorers were surprised to arrive at Snowy River and find it flowing with water. It had been dry when first discovered in 2001 and during trips in 2003 and 2005. Hundreds of feet beneath Earth's surface, a few seasoned cave explorers venture where no human has set foot. Their headlamps illu... more -
