Good news for caviar lovers in Las Vegas. Back in February, the Bellagio introduced an all-you-can-eat caviar station to its buffet. According to the Las Vegas Sun, these past few weeks have been a test, and now the Bellagio's bottomless (yes, bottomless) caviar program is now officially a permanent fixture of the $37.99 Gourmet Dinner experience.

Back in the early 19th Century, an Irish adventurer and smuggler named Tom Johnson hatched a plot to rescue the exiled Napoleon from his island prison on St. Helena.

If a typical electric car is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime, the huge initial emissions from its manufacture means the car will actually have put more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than a similar-size gasoline-powered car driven the same number of miles. Similarly, if the energy used to recharge the electric car comes mostly from coal-fired power plants, it will be responsible for the emission of almost 15 ounces of carbon-dioxide for every one of the 50,000 miles it is driven—three ounces more than a similar gas-powered car.
