Ever wonder if you can really OD on caffeine?  Energy Fiend came up with a web-based calculator that will tell you (based upon body weight) how many colas, coffees, and teas it would take for you to die. The drinks are broken down by brand and type so you can search for the one that you use for your daily fix.

Fortunately, I am in the clear. I’d have to drink 24 additional cups of Starbucks coffee per day to do me in!

If so, Long Bets is the place for you! The spawn of funding from Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, and the website of the Long Bets Foundation, Long Bets hails itself as

"a public arena for enjoyably competitive predictions, of interest to society, with philanthropic money at stake."

• By 2030, commercial passengers will routinely fly in pilotless planes (Stake: $1000 per side)
• In 2022 the US economy will no longer be held to be the world leader in global environmental degradation (Stake: $1000 per side)
• By 2025 the scientific evidence of a hither-to-unknown large bi-pedal great ape will be sufficient to convince at least 50% of primatologists that a yeti/bigfoot-like creature exists. (Stake: $800 per side)

Here is a complete list of predictions that you can challenge. Or, create your own.

From the site's description:

The past, it has been said, is another country. If so, it is a place in which all of us have travelled. We remember its customs. We recognise its highways. We all know people there. If the past is another country, then each of us is a passport-carrying citizen of that land.

It was Homer (Simpson) who said "Every time you learn something new it pushes something old out of your brain" . If that is true, where does it leav our nostalgic memories? Worry no longer, because that is why Nostalgia Central is here – We remember for you!

From the site's description:

The World Sunlight Map provides a computer-generated approximation of what the earth currently looks like. While less impressive than actually being into orbit, this is much more accessible to most of us.

I start with cloudless images of the earth during the day (from a pair of NASA satellites) and night (from a DoD program to map city lights). Every 3 hours, I download a composite cloud image based on data from weather satellites all over the world. And every half hour, these images are composited and mapped onto a sphere by xplanet according to the relative position of the sun. The flat maps are post-processed by ImageMagick to cut off the 15 degrees nearest the north and south poles where cloud data is unavailable.
