The dog I can accept, but I could hardly believe that such a fantastic Island existed. I looked it up to check, and it does. I am in love with it. Surely it is the coolest picture posted. It still exists as a community, rather than being some rich man's plaything. Population 205. If I had that dog, I would sell it on ebay. Starting price $50 Offers accepted.

I have this apprehension where rising water levels are concerned. Comes from living in the bush and paying attention to the high water marks on lakes and stream beds with the realization that historic precedent is always subject to future change.

If you look under Islands for sale, there's a lot of them. I like the following one but it's out of my price range. Nautilus Island Location: Brooksville, Maine Listing price: $7.995 million Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Nautilus Island's 37 acres are on sale. Photo: Curbed.com For some old timey Americana, head to Maine's Nautilus Island. The 37-acre island was held by the British during the Revolution until a Paul Revere-led band of Marines took the isle. For sale: the whole 37-acre estate, replete with a six-bedroom main house (built in 1882 and since updated), a two-bedroom farmhouse, a guest house, a vineyard, a boathouse (retrofitted with a sweet-looking bar), a 300-foot dock, not to mention a 23-foot boat.

Gunmaker invents double-barrel handgun Arsenal Firearms is turning out a double-barreled .45 caliber, semi-automatic handgun that allows you to shoot two bullets at the same time, Gizmodo reports.
