Make an Olga Kurylenko lolly...please!!

They're making a Daniel Craig ice lolly because a poll asked women which celebrity they'd most like to see on the end of a stick and the answer was Daniel Craig. His torso, in purple, will now be sold with the slogan "Licence to Chill"!! Why double standards? Why can't men also be asked which celebrity they'd like to lick? I never thought you could make anyone interested in lolly licks, but then again it's not that men would have voted for Moneypenny on a stick! They'd rather lick my favorite Olga, right?

Make regular shoes fit for ice walk

I need little spikes to come out of my shoes when I walk over ice. I don't want to be wearing big boots or add crampons, just my regular shoes. Crampons do the job but don't match my clothes or fit into my high heels. Is it too much to ask for style and ice functionality in a regular shoe?

The "ice glass"method for reducing credit card spending

This is not my idea. A lot of you may already know about it. For those that don't, I copy and paste: "It's a home remedy for impulsive spending. You put your credit card into a glass of water and put the glass in the freezer. Then, when you impulsively decide to make a purchase, you must first wait for the ice to thaw before extracting the card. By then, your compulsion to purchase has subsided. You can't put the card in the microwave, of course, because then you'd destroy the magnetic strip." The concept might not work well in high temperature climates but it might still worth trying if you want to use some good sense of humor to reign in on your impulsive spending :)

Referring to having the air-condition on during the hot summer months at a very low temperature. This is typical if you work in New York. When I did my training there, the air-con kept the office so cold that I was freezing to the point I had to have a blanket wrapped around me all the time. I was told a cold office keeps employees awake. Is that true? If true, this is crazy, sick and inhumane.

There is a difference between keeping cool and freezing to death. That difference should be no no more than 10 degrees Celsius but the New Yorkers seem to surpass any reasonable expectation of coolness! Or maybe this is how New Yorkers train for the coming Ice Age :)

Other than that New York is a great city!

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that exists in the earth's atmosphere. CO2 however becomes solid at temperatures below -78 °C. In its solid state, carbon dioxide is commonly called dry ice. I thought the following. If scientists can find a way to cool atmosphere at that level then large chunks of it can be removed from the atmosphere. CO2 at a solid state will just fall from the sky like dry ice due to gravity!
