Much hero-worship has been done regarding US Airways Flight 1549, the flight that crash landed in the Hudson river. I think it’s time that a more critical eye, a more experienced eye, takes a look at the true facts behind the admiration. Thankfully, we’ve got McSweeney’s.

Please, review this compelling list of reasons as to why the flight in question just doesn’t add up before making up your mind on this issue. The truth deserves as much.

I’m ready for this. Garden lamps that look just great and don’t require some horrid electric plug to be strung across your lawn. Ikea has just announced solar lamps for the typical Ikea price of $20 for a string of five lights.

You can check out some shots of the lights in action at Inhabitat, where they look really spiffy. Count me in to pick a couple up when they’re out in the next coming weeks.
