As far as tiling goes, this has got to be the most ostentatious floor paneling we’ve come across. The Standard Grill Hotel in New York has a uniquely tiled floor. The floor is tiled with thousands of shiny pennies. Real, authentic, actual pennies.

You might miss it if you don’t look close, but I guess it’s the small things which can make a huge difference. Now if I want to impress anyone I’m going to have to tile my floor with silver dollars. Thanks for fucking it up for the rest of us.

If you love WHYY as much as I do and you’re down for a little DIY action, scrape three pennies from your sofa and try building this tiny radio. Full instructions are available and the electronics involved can be had at your local Radio Shack. There’s even instructions on how to make your own batteries out of vinegar and aluminum foil. Insane! You’ve got to check it out if you’ve got a soldering iron and a free weekend.
