Well, there's a reason for that. It isn't hormones, or syndromes, or pheremones, it's just that she's a cold, steely robot underneath all that makeup and couture. No wonder she's able to pull off those near-perfect runway spins each and every time; it's all pre-programmed. You can see the full view of Kate and her superstructure down below (yes, it's work-safe).

<![CDATA[A House Made from 110 Tons of Steel]]> We're going to need hardened steel habitats after the zombie apocalypse. That might have been what Robert Bruno, architect, had in mind when he created this cool design for his own house in Texas. It took him twenty-three years to build and he used tons and tons of steel (110 tons, to be exact). The house, which has tons of crazy geometric shaped walls, skylights, and windows, sits on a river near Lubbock, Texas. Pics of the interior and early stages of construction (circa 1974) after the jump.

Here is somebody inside the house: big_05.jpg
