Seoul's Banpo Bridge Turns into Gigantic Fountain, Puts NYC's Waterfalls to Shame
The Banpo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea just got a major facelift in the form of a 10,000-nozzle fountain that runs all the way along both its sides. They were just installed last month, but already the bridge has turned into a major tourist attraction. Which is understandable, as I've certainly never driven over a bridge that's pumping out 190 tons of water per minute. And since it's just pulling up water from the river below, it's nice and eco-friendly. Hit the jump for a video of this awesome bridge in action. More » -

South Korea to Build Robot Land, Robots Rejoice in Electronic Bliss
If there's one thing the world sorely needs it's some sort of place where robots can go to chat, find love, and make plans to destroy Humanity.

The city will feature facilities for research, development, and production of robots — it'll even have a stadium for robot-related competitions, like the much-heralded "Who Can Malfunction And Kill Everyone First" contest.
