These solid silver, rhodium-coated scissor cufflinks are cutting edge and all, and very shiny, but at $550 for the pair I think I’ll just rummage around the kitchen drawer and bend a pair of my own, thank you very much. Oh, what’s that? They open and close, just like real scissors? Sold! [A+R Store]

Not to be outdone by those crazy Danish bastards out on the isle of Samso, Science Daily reports an equally crazy group of Missourian bastards in Rock Port now generate all their electricity using wind turbines. Rock Port went completely wind-powered last week, making use of the 75 wind turbines spread out across three Missouri counties, and local experts are excited about the potential for wind power throughout the state. However, PopSci thinks it won’t be so easy to make this a widespread trend in the US.
For starters, Rock Port only has 1300 residents, which is much easier to power using renewable energy than most places. Wind power currently accounts for 1% of total power consumption, and the US government only sees it providing around 20% of the power needed to run the country in the future. And even for that to happen, turbines need to become dramatically more efficient. But I’m not trying to rain on Rock Port’s parade (which I’m sure every eco-freak would have gathered for, had it not added to their carbon footprint). [Science Daily via Popular Science]
