After the 141675 votes were counted it was found that a staggering 41.48% of went toward the winning design, the work of George Stamatopoulos from Greece.
The official description behind the new design is:
“The euro is the latest step in the long history of trade, from pre-historic barter ? evoked by the deliberately primitive design ? to economic and monetary union.”.
These new coins will be distributed to all euro-area Member States by January 2009. The winner of the voting is Michal Milewski from Poland, who won a high-value set of euro collector coins.
Ebay: The Worlds Largest Music Collection Is Sold!
Few hours ago one of the most expensive Ebay auctions just came to an end. It was called the worlds largest music collection and it has 3,000,000 Vinyl records and 300,000 CD’s. The selling price at the auction end was $3,002,150.00 and the estimated real value of the collection is speculated to be over $50,000,000. The interest for this collection was great as the auction web page attracted over 230,000 visitors
The lucky winner that is going to give $3,002,150 for this collection is user jopsoup. His last purchase is a 1GB memory card for his digital camera and it cost him $5. I wonder which person that has $3,000,000 to give for CD’s will go on Ebay to buy a $5 memory card 
The Alphabet of a Butterfly
If I looked at a butterfly and it had the number 4 written on its wings I would have found it hard to believe its real. So you understand my amazement when I saw 31 butterflies with all the letters and numbers on the wings.
I have no idea how many years it took photographer Kjell Sandved to find among thousand of butterflies, those with the familiar patterns of numbers and characters. Not even sure if it was worth it for him. For us though the end product is truly amazing.
On the photographer’s webpage someone can buy the ?Butterfly Alphabet? poster or see the rest of the collection with interesting patterns on butterfly wings (you can see even smilies). You can even send an e-card with these butterfly letters
