Knowing when to call it quits. Barkles breaks the news with a remarkable email. [HUMP DUMP]
Last week, I was surprised to receive this linked email from Barkles, an online debating platform. The startup, barely a year old, was calling it quits. I suppose that’s not so unusual.

Thinking outside the bouquet: how to use a tulip as a fire extinguisher [VIDEO]
Don’t want to have one of those boring, cylindrical extinguishers in your kitchen in case of a fat fire? Well, someone extremely creative had a genius idea.
