This is why I think a Facebook “Like” should cost a quarter if it involves a cause or charity.

The AquaDom
Source: Gizmodo
The AquaDom is part of Sea Life Berlin. In Sea Life Berlin, visitors discover 30 tanks containing local species from the River Spree to the Atlantic Ocean. The highlight of the tour is a ride through the AquaDom, the world’s largest cylindrical aquarium, where a multitude of tropical fish reside in one million litres of saltwater.
AquaDom facts:
- The aquarium is habitat to more than 1,500 tropical fish and over 50 different species, including trigger fish, hogfish, humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), blowfish (Tetraodontidae), surgeonfish (Myripristinae), soldierfish (Tetraodontidae) and swarm fish, like Cero mackerel (Scomberomorus regalis) and Silver moonfish (Monodactylus argenteus).
- The height of the AquaDom is 25 metres.
- The aquarium is made of acrylic, with a thickness of 16 cm on the top and 22 cm at the bottom.
- The acrylic cylinder has a height of 16 metres and a diameter of 11,50 metres.
- The water level is 14 metres.
- One million litres of Berlin water enhanced with 33 tons of sea salt (salt content of 3,3 %) is circulated every hour (7 filter/ 2 pumps are circulating 600 m³/ hour – nearly the whole volume of the aquarium).
- Water pressure is 2,4 bar.
- The two-story glass elevator inside the AquaDom (5 metres high/ weight of 25 tons) has a capacity of 48 people, including one guide.
Does anyone know if you can pay to scuba dive in this thing?

Most hated baby names
Most hated baby names: Is your kid’s on the list? The list comes from Laura Wattenberg, author of The Baby Name Wizard: A Magical Method for Finding the Perfect Name for Your Baby. Yell at her, not me.
Most Hated Girl Names
Nevaeh (“heaven” spelled backward and one of the most divisive names around, according to Wattenberg)
Destiny (people dislike names that confer a virtue onto a child, Wattenberg said — and many associated this name with exotic dancers)
Madison
Mackenzie
McKenna
Addison (an example of a masculine named turned feminine, which many people dislike, Wattenberg said)
Gertrude (people said this name is “ugly”)
Kaitlyn (for its “made-up” spelling)
Makayla
Bertha (author’s note: duh!)
Most Hated Boy Names
Jayden
Brayden
Aiden
Kaden (these rhyming names struck many as overdone, Wattenberg reported)
Hunter (too much like a last name or “too violent”)
Hayden
Bentley (people dislike brand-name names, Wattenberg found, calling them “trashy”)
Tristan
Michael (too boring, according to some)
Jackson
What do you think? What would you add?

Teens play chicken with subway train
Here is a scary YouTube video, a group of reckless teens play chicken with an oncoming subway train. Five kids jumped onto the tracks at the No. 3 line’s Kingston Avenue station, risking their lives with each passing moment. Most of them quickly climbed back onto the platform, but two stayed on the tracks until the lights of an approaching train were clearly visible.

Idiot
Idiot steals gas from cop car, posts picture on Facebook, and goes directly to jail.
From Gizmodo: This is Michael Baker. Michael is 20 years old, lives in Kentucky, and likes The Bucket List on Facebook. I know these things because Michael has not activated his Facebook privacy settings, which is something that’s recommended in most cases but absolutely essential if you’re going to post pictures of yourself stealing gas from a cop car on your wall.
The theft occurred last month, according to The Smoking Gun; that’s when Baker raised his middle finger at his girlfriend’s camera while slurping up gas from a Jenkins City police cruiser. He was arraigned yesterday in Letcher County District Court.
Baker has since taken down the incriminating photo, as well as a few updates he had apparently left along the way (sample: “yea lol i went too [sic] jail over facebook.”). Which, yes, lol indeed.
