Coloso, An Electrical Tower Made to Look Like a Giant Robot by Doma

Buenos Aires-based art collective Doma has created COLOSO, a giant robot-shaped electrical tower. It was created for Tecnópolis 2012, a large-scale science, technology, industry and art exhibition in Villa Martelli, Argentina.

You may remember the clown-shaped electrical tower that was installed by MAVIR in Hungary.

Giant Sinkhole Opens Up in Brooklyn, Nearly Eats Car [Updated]

The Earth went looking for a snack in Brooklyn on Wednesday when a 20-foot deep, 20-foot wide sinkhole opened up between 4th and 5th avenues in Bay Ridge at about 6 p.m., according to CBS. Several cars lined the collapsed portion of the street. Fortunately the sinkhole didn't swallow any vehicles, however it got at least a taste of one that leaned into the gaping hole. “We’re so blessed," said the Zen-like car owner. "If we were five minutes later or anything, we could have been in the hole." Another cavity formed earlier in the summer in the same neighborhood. The cause is unknown and we're not geologists, but our recollection of high school Earth Science tells us this is a pretty clear cut case of an undernourished Earth.

Update: NY1 has reported that the cause of the sinkhole is a sewer main break that will require repairs lasting through the weekend. Mystery solved.
