Hey guys.
My name is Stephen Beacham and here's what's happening this week on CNET's Crave blog.
The Nintoaster 2.0 is a beautifully designed retro model of a 1950's style toaster in an 8 bit Nintendo console mashed up into one shiny device.
The Nintoaster was created by Finnish artist Jarno Kotavuopio, forgive my pronunciation, and is the second version of.
Nintoaster series.
[UNKNOWN] was not the only one with a nintoaster.
In 2008, another major made a whole series of Nintoasters and posted them on stupidfingers.com.
And there you go super [UNKNOWN].
Medical technicians in the Netherlands ran a full CT scan on an ancient Chinese statue of Buddha.
And discovered a monk was entombed inside.
The mummy inside the statue is the only one of its kind ever found and is believed to be a Buddhist master named Liuquan of the Chinese Meditation School, who died around 1100 A.D..
Attempting an ancient self-mummification process to reach a state of higher enlightenment.
Monks who had achieved this type of self-mummification would be venerated in temples and would become a living Buddha, while those who had failed would remain entombed but respected for their attempt.
