Air Conditioning Bill Too High? Should've Moved Into A Building Like This

San Diego is in desperate need of an new airport, but no one wants it near their land. The so-obvious-that-you'll-slap-your-forehead solution? Don't build it on land, the ocean's right there. There's even a plan, but it's more than an airport. More » -

Turn On the Quackie CD Player By Stroking Its Beak
