Two stories...

One.

Due to the overwhelming terrorist threat in London, the government is cutting down 60 year-old trees in Whitehall and replacing them with concrete ballards. That's sure to drive up land value.

That comes after the new prime minister vowed to work on environmental issues. I guess he didn't say *how* he was going to work on them...


Two.

A woman in the U.S. is living in a house that measures 84 square feet - that's roughly the size of a parking lot. She built it herself out of salvaged materials. Is she saving a lot of money? You betcha!

"Two steps through the kitchen and you're in my living room. Two steps into the living room, you bang into the wall."

Mind you, she ought to see what some Japanese people are living in!
