Comment Re:Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center (Score 1) 363

I would enthusiastically second this recommendation. I have traveled pretty extensively and this museum was surprisingly amazing. It is very deceptive as it has a small footprint above ground and is next to a high school football stadium, but most of the museum is below ground. When I went they also had a very well done and quite informative live science show that was geared towards kids but was perfectly good for adults as well. Also nearby is http://www.undergroundmuseum.org/index.php which is the only salt mine open to the public in the Western Hemisphere. I believe that it was also featured on an episode of dirty jobs as well. I spent a few months in Kansas and found both of these sites as part of the eight wonders of Kansas. I no longer live there, but will definitely make a trip back with my family in the future.

Denver Airport Overrun by Car-Eating Rabbits 278

It turns out the soy-based wire covering on cars built after 2002 is irresistible to rodents. Nobody knows this better than those unlucky enough to park at DIA's Pikes Peak lot. The rabbits surrounding the area have been using the lot as an all-you-can-eat wiring buffet. Looks like it's time to break out The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

One thing to be aware of is limits to "unlimited" plans. I was living in Holland for a number of months this Fall and was on a pre-paid Vodaphone for voice and data. The "unlimited" monthly plan was capped at 500 megs and as soon as I went over it started to eat at my pre-paid stored balance in large chunks. While this sounds like a lot, it disappeared quickly. Just be careful and be sure to ask about this for whatever plan you get.
