For sale: The world's smallest house - Off-topic

Just seen this and thought id share..
At just over seven feet wide and 47 feet long, this tiny building is one of the smallest functioning homes in the world.
The 312-square foot 'Little House' of Toronto, Canada, has developed a cult following and even has its own website.
Back on the property market for £110,000, the comfortable home surprisingly comes with three rooms, including a normal sized bathtub.

It's so itty bitty! The infamous 'Little House', squashed between two other grown up house on a Toronto street
Living large: The living area and TV room of the Little House - just seven feet wide
With a front drive that parks two family sized cars - even though the house itself is barely big enough to swing a cat round - it still comes with all amenities.
Sitting on Day Ave in Toronto's Little Italy, the home has been viewed almost 40 times since it went on the market.
It is described in the estate agents guide as a 'unique home in good condition overall and has been well maintained'.
Compact kitchen: The cooking/laundry area of the Little House
Good storage: The 47-foot long house has a wee back garden also
Just enough room for two (and a bottle of wine): The garden area of the Little House
As well as its ample 2.36m-high ceilings, the Little House also has a decent sized basement for storage space.
'The interior of the house seems much more expansive than the small exterior,' said real estate agent Antonio Nardi.
'It has a full bathroom, a kitchen and a decent sized bedroom with a fold up bed that gives more room when up.
'This is a great and historic purchase.'
Built in 1912, the Little Home has become a celebrity in its own right over the past 98 years.
Talk show host Ellen Degeneres has even expressed an interest in one day owning the Little House.
Blink and you'll miss it: Little House as it appears on Google Street View

Ah !! Another pithy retort from the self appointed " king of off topic "
So what are you following me around the site now ? Shouldn't you be busy helping other XDA members with their " favorite pizza toppings " or " making fun of fat, ugly people " or starting yet another useful and helpful thread trashing someone else ?

I've seen smaller than that

Not only is this beautiful and elegant -- but the reason I am QUOTING is because I *did* go visit your page to read about your thoughts as well as see the comments written THERE too.
This comment both cracked me up and was sheer brilliance... But if you don't know the reference it would fly right over a person's head and be totally wasted. SO, just to help make the point really CLEAR, i will translate it afterwards. The comment itself is EPIC:
Jukah I feel like Bugsy at the opening of the Flamingo.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To really appreciate what the commenter is saying here, you have to know this is Bugsy Malone he is referring to -- a gangster in the USA, who saw an empty place in the desert land in Nevada (a state in the USA not too far from California) and envisioned on this empty barren land, with no highways around, no cities around, no nothing -- he envisioned a city in the middle of this desert -- which would be a place where military people and others could come to get inexpensive enterainment....
Everyone thought he was NUTS! Who the hell wants to come to this sh*thole in the desert, Bugsy? he said "you'll see after I've built my first casino here"... and he drew up plans with architects for "The Flamingo" -- an iconic marker now for the original LAS VEGAS, the city, the gambling, the culture, the entire state of mind that he created --- casting his gaze out across the barren landscape of the desert.
The photo above is from when the Flamingo first opened... proving all the doubters wrong.
And now, just for further context... A reminder that once things are indeed built, bigger is not always better, iPadius Jobius.
Las Vegas strip, today.
Awesome design!Realy like it.I'm not a fan of the fisical keyboard but device looking like this I'd gladly use

Even better, here's the scene, in the film BUGSY, directed by the great Barry Levinson, Bugsy played by Warren Beatty, film nominated for 10 Academy Awards.
Fast Forward if you like to 3:09 to jump to the heart of the scene in the desert:

I want a job like...

A cubical job. Where you go and sit in a cubical and have your own desktop and a BlackBerry for your job and you wear a suit everyday with a nice view over DownTown Chicago and you travel a lot to foreign places with good food.
What kinda positions have this?
Hmmm. Managing director doesn't have to work in a cubicle, they get an office with a view
To get a job like that, how about IT Manager, or Director of Technology? Trouble with other jobs would be lack of foreign travel (you need to be at management level or above to get some of the best hotels)

I had a cubicle job once. I worked for a telemarketing firm selling credit cards (cold calls, called 3 dead people my first day). I have since worked for a company doing electronic assembly and testing, as well as several auto shops. Currently I drive for a tire wholesaler and I love it.

I want to work in a beautiful city, a nice vollege is OK for me.It must away from such noisy places.But it just be a dream.
This sounds good to me
18 different cafes
Free Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
The food is gourmet quality (e.g. omelet bar, chefs that make custom sandwiches for you, sashimi, free drinks 24/7, free snacks of all sorts 24/7.
The 7 person conference bicycles
Every Friday, Larry, Sergei, or Eric takes questions from us (in person), and we get free beer (e.g. Downtown Brown)
Gyms all over
Free Laundry done for us
Discounted massages
Refrigerators with assorted Odwallas in every building
Free bicycles that we can just get on and ride to different buildings
Always pickup soccer games, or basketball games going on
Amazing free automated massage chairs in every building
Lap pool, volleyball court, tennis court, basketball court, etc.
You can bring your dog with you to the office every day (1 out of 4 employees always has their dog with them)
Free shuttle to and from work everyday. (The shuttle has wi-fi). It even goes to SF.

something pretty cool that i thought i'd share

so, since there's 0 people here that would actually know who i am, or recognize my screen name, i figured i'd share this anyways since it's a huge thing for me and my family.
in 1980 i started bmx racing. now, my oldest son has been racing for 3 years and now my 5 and 2 year olds have started racing this year. at the beginning of this year, i was asked to be a part of a committee in building a large indoor racing facility about an hour away from our house.
we planned, we built and we opened october 15th.
what we built was a national pro-am track, a super cross track and bike shop under 1 roof. we will have week long training programs for kids 8-17. we will have weekend clinics for training, hold regular race weekends and will be open during the week days for practice.
it's been a long year and a lot of work, but it all paid off opening day when we had nothing but great reviews of the track from riders.
we still have a lot of work, and we are currently closed again to repair some roof sections. right now, i am designing the network for the building and we will have login so when riders arrive, they can login to the network, which will sign them in for racing and charge them the race fees. making registration simple. we will also have large monitors to display race info as well as live cams setup at various sections of the track to broadcast on the monitors and eventually live stream on the internet as well. i'm hoping to have all of this done by the time we reopen in a couple of weeks.
anyhow, here are some pics of the building and from opening day

Cool stuff, good luck your new business. My daughter has that same yellow mongoose in o e of the pics.
That's a great achievement! It must have taken a huge amount of work to set up.
There were two BMX tracks near to where i grew up and i spent all my time out riding mine. I have to ask, did you ever ride a Raleigh Burner or Silverfox, way back in the halcyon days of your youth? I put up pics here in the Bicycle thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18322877&postcount=83
Thanks for your post and for the pictures. Keep us updated on any news and i wish your sons luck in their competitions.

Maybe you should come UK and start one?

Because of their size to the untrained eye a train appears to be going slower than it actually is. 8 or 9 out of 10 make this deadly error. You gauge a train's speed by stationary objects around it's path of travel. Telegraph poles or electric poles are convenient reference points. Error on the side of caution. Beware of the 2 or more trains at once on different tracks, the one you can't see can still kill you.
Don't trip on the tracks, ties or gravel holes as this can be a deadly mistake even with no train. The rails will break bones if you fall on them... always assume a train is coming. I've walked many miles on active lines starting at 6yo, still here.
