Italian street artist Biancoshock has just finished installing a couple of secret, miniature rooms, hidden under manhole covers, inside an abandoned sewer somewhere in the streets of Milan. This satiric “intervention” —a word that the artist uses for all his artworks— was inspired by the hundreds of people who are forced to live in extreme conditions, such as inside sewers.

Read a quip in the newspaper from South Carolina from 1956, which described a wanted man as a nigger. I honestly had no idea that was allowed even back then.

Have you ever worried how real astronauts or cosmonauts can defend themselves or render harmless hostile life forms? What if an alien breaks into the International Space Station? Or a crew member loses his or her mind and goes berserk?

Most were knives and other tools that could be used as weapons. Then there were these:

Regarding water withdrawal, I would bet my money that the change in water consumption is directly related to the formation of the US EPA in 1970, effecting regulations on waste water treatment and related matters. This caused huge factories to install waste treatment facilities by 1975, and for the first time created a "cost" for water.
