Lance, The Sequel
Just in case you haven't yet heard, Brett Favre isn't the only athlete to make a comeback this season - Lance is back!

Green Team: Just Say Yao!
Yao’s not exactly running under the radar in Beijing these days. Heck, at 7-6, Yao may be running over the radar! But you can’t start any discussion about these Olympics and their green/sustainability/globalization/human rights story without yelling Yao first.

Large-as-life statue of liberty... made out of Styrofoam?
Via Earthfirst:
Perhaps it’s a fitting tribute to a country that wore the ‘Biggest Polluter’ crown for so long: a 130-foot, 50,000-lb replica of the Statue of Liberty, made entirely of foam and sprayed-on plastic. The company that commissioned the statue, however, wasn’t trying to be ironic or make a point.
