  • Old transformer turned into a suggestion and payments box for the power company on the U.S. Territory of Guam, an island in the Western Pacific Ocean, the largest of the Mariana Islands. Dead brown tree snakes are draped on it..There are no birds on the Pacific Island of Guam thanks to the Brown Tree Snake. Hungry egg-eating tree snakes have overrun the tropical island after arriving on a lumber freighter from New Guinea during World War II. Besides wiping out the bird population, Brown Tree Snakes cause frequent power outages: they commit short circuit suicide when climbing between power lines. These snakes were electrocuted causing a power outage from 1 to 7 AM on May 19.

  • Kelvin Lester, a floor supervisor at a meat processing company with his typical day's worth of food at his kitchen table in Grand Meadow, Minnesota. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in June was 2,600 kcals. He is 44 years of age; 5 feet, 11 inches tall; and 195 pounds. The hands on the right belong to Kiara, his four-year-old adopted daughter. Several times a week, hamburger patties that he purchases with an employee discount wind up on his dinner table, and then go into his lunch box, along with his wife's homemade potato salad. With more than 20 years of experience grinding beef at the Rochester Meat Company, Kelvin says he always grills hamburgers?no matter who has ground them?until they are well-done, because any contamination is most easily rendered harmless by thorough cooking, meaning cooking them to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Todd Kincer, a coal miner, with his typical day's worth of food and his workday lunch box at his home in Mayking, Kentucky. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food in the month of April was 3,200 kcals. He is 34 years of age; 5 feet, 11 inches tall; and 185 pounds. After showering and scrubbing off the day's coal dust, Todd gets ready to dig in to one of his favorite meals: Hamburger Helper with double noodles. A college graduate drawn to the coal mine by the relatively high pay, Todd spends a 10-hour shift mining underground, driving a low-slung electric shuttle car that carries coal from the face of the coal seam, where it's being chewed up by a deafening, dusty mining machine, to a conveyer belt. The mine, located deep inside a mountain in the Appalachians near the town of Whitesburg, Kentucky, is pitch-black, except for headlights and headlamps. During winter months, Todd never sees daylight during the workweek. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Even someone who believes that in the future most humans will become the slaves of all-powerful machines has to have a laugh sometimes. Why not have it with toy machines? Taking a moment off from his work at the cybernetics department at the University of Reading in the UK, Kevin Warwick (on left), author of March of the Machines: Why the New Race of Robots Will Rule the World, plays with Lego Mindstorm robots that his students have programmed to box with each other. The toys are wildly popular with engineers and computer scientists because they can be programmed to perform an amazing variety of tasks. In this game, sensors on the toys determine which machine has been hit the most. In his more serious work, Warwick is now trying to record his neural signals on a computer and replay them into his nervous system. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 222-223.

  • Caterpillar fungus gift boxes for sale in a traditional medical pharmacy, Kunming, China. The parasitic fungus Cordyceps sinensis attacks the larvae of the ghost moth Hepialus armoricanus, and grows into the body of the caterpillar. The fungus literally takes over the caterpillar, forming a hard, brown, mummy-like fungus sculpture of the caterpillar. The fungus is used to treat asthma, colds, jaundice, and tuberculosis and is very expensive: It sells for 4,000 yuan ($500 U.S.) per pound.
