Every so often I think to myself, “what ever happened to Evite?” Then I get an email invitation and realize that it’s still alive. While some of the early adopters and tech elitists may have switched to services like MyPunchbowl, Socializr, Pingg, Cocodot, and even MySpace and Facebook, Evite lives on in the minds of many of those outside of the tech sphere. And that’s why Someecards now wants to kill it with a new Invites section of their site.

If you don't like traveling with your wife, or you just think girls will give you cooties, check out the Männermobil RV.

This "boys only" mobile home has absolutely nothing that appeals to (most) women. Inside the "mobil", you'll find a Wii, Playstation 3, 2

If your method of hanging pictures and paintings involves asking a patient friend 20 times about crookedness, an Apartment Therapy blog reader would like to, er, set you straight with a guide on getting perfectly aligned frames.

Bowloftoast sez, "This is a short animation that takes the viewer through a progressive description of all (and all possible) dimensions, up to and including the 10th. It is an elegant introduction to the fundamentals of string theory and a mind-blowing toe-dip into the pool of the metaphysical."

You won't ever actually need this skill, hopefully, but learning how to throw a knife and hit your mark definitely leaves you with a feeling of action hero accomplishment. Here's how to do it the right way.

Wired's How-To Wiki states that the key to a good throw, aside from selecting a well-balanced knife, is the grip:

Note from Mr. Dude:  This has always been a place Mrs. Dude & I have wanted to visit.  Probably best to do so before it is blown into a cloud of ash into the atmosphere.

In the years since, Smith and his colleagues have used every trick they can devise to "see" beneath the park. Gradually, the proportions and potential of the subterranean volcanic system have emerged. At the shallowest level, surface water percolates several miles into the crust, is heated, and boils back up, supplying the geysers and fumaroles. About five to seven miles deep is the top of the magma chamber, a reservoir of partially melted rock roughly 30 miles wide. Basaltic magma is trapped inside the chamber by denser, overlying rhyolitic magma, which floats on top of the liquid basalt like cream on milk.

This is one of those man cave gadgets that makes most men drool upon first sight of it.  I’m not sure what draws the eyes first, that shiny diamond plating or the nice flat screen TV.  It’d blend in within any garage alongside all of the rest of your toolboxes.  Then to top things off this cabinet has an added bonus, not only do you get to hide out and watch the game, but you get cold beer thanks to the built-in kegerator.

In the depths of northeastern India, in one of the wettest places on earth, bridges aren't built - they're grown.

The living bridges of Cherrapunji, India are made from the roots of the Ficus elastica tree. This tree produces a series of secondary roots from higher up its trunk and can comfortably perch
