  • Sustainable and edible? I wish. Ridiculous? Definitely. Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace recently designed the ever-colorful Cupcake Car, an electric car that runs on a 24 volt electric motor and battery. Sure, I get that the car--which was introduced at the Burning Man festival and tops out at seven mph--is cute and sustainable, but it's also actually for sale. With a price tag of $24,000, I think I'll stick to my local cupcakery for my sweet tooth fix. [Inhabitat]

  • Introducing the German "Männermobil." If you don't speak German, fear not--it's exactly what it sounds like it is. The "boys only" RV comes complete with two surround-sound systems, two flat-panel TVs, a Wii and Playstation 3, a grill, foosball table, dart board, rooftop Biergarten, and other "manly" amenities.

  • Several Leonardo da Vinci paintings and sculptures are on display at Atlanta's High Museum of Art. The rare U.S. exhibit--which includes a 30-foot replica of Leonardo da Vinci's destroyed horse statue, other sculptures, and dozens of sketches--is showing through February 21, 2010. [USA Today]
