Sugar High

Part of an unbalanced breakfast: Back when we were kids, our drug of choice was sugar, best administered first thing in the morning via a bowl-sized dose of fluorescent day-glow cereal, endorsed by a leering hyperactive cartoon character. Today, we know better, so we feed our kids organic whole grains, while secretly longing for the stuff that makes milk purple and kids totally unpredictable. Good thing you can get your nostalgia fix at the Sugar Frosted Cereal Museum group pool on Flickr. Dig in at www.flickr.com/groups/

Audi-ty: So a guy in Spain turned a 2001 Mercury Cougar into a fibreglass-bodied 2009 Audi R8 that would fool just about anyone, except at a stoplight, when a kid in a suped-up Civic leaves it in the dust. And he’ll sell it to you, for only 40,000 Euros, or about $65,000 Canadian. That’s less than half
the price of the real thing, but nearly 10 times the crazy at www.replicaaudir8.com.
