Creating sculptures out of living trees by encouraging them to grow in certain ways that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
I have seen some beautiful examples of arborsculpture.

Plutocracy is the rule by the super-rich international capitalists and their retainers; the press, office holders, spies and thugs. In a plutocracy the middle class is controlled though taxation, low-cost imports (free trade) and corrupt politicians and in a communist system the middle class is exterminated. The perfect plutocracy consists of two classes onlyâthe plutocrats and their overseers and the subsistence-level poor. The degree of economic inequality is staggering as is the low level of social mobility.
Although the word plutocracy has disappeared from some modern dictionaries, as if it no longer exists, it is in fact the only name to correctly describe many modern governments.

An alcoholic coffee drink made with Irish Whiskey.
How to make:
Warm a 8-oz thick goblet by rinsing it in very hot or boiling water. Pour fresh coffee (about 5 to 6. oz) and whiskey (about 2 oz.) into goblet. Add sugar, stiring until dissolved, then add a generous dab of whipped cream.
You'd be suprised how many bartenders don't know how to make Irish Coffee.

1. An popular Egyptian god that is still worshiped to this day. Anubis conducts the peopleâs souls to judgment; he is widely known as the god of the dead. His duties range from caring for the deadâs bodies (He is credited with inventing embalming in the book of the dead.), transporting the deadâs souls, weighing the hearts of oneâs soul against the feather of Maâat to see how good or evil they are, to even protecting people while they sleep.
Like many Egyptian gods, Anubis has the head of an animal, in His case a jackel. This is thought to be due to the fact that jackels roamed the grave yards.
Prayers to Anubis have been found carved on most ancient tombs and modern day Pagans (those who feel connected to this god) often kept a statue of Anubis by their bedside to protect them while they sleep.
2. A super villain on Stargate SG-1, Anubis is a highly powerful and hostile Half-Ascended Goaâuld. He was seen as the most evil of them all, even by other Goaâuld even before he ascended and became ever more wicked.
1. Statues of Anubis aren't hard to find these days.
2. It is a shame that Anubis was killed off; I think he was one bad ass villian.

Eugenics is the self-direction of human evolution. It is the study of hereditary improvement of the human species by selective breeding. It is both a science and a social movement. The idea is to increase the number of children of those with favorable genes (such as intelligence, good health, positive personality traits, good looks, etc..) and limit the number of children of those who have unfavorable genes (such as poor health, lower IQ's, mental flaws such as anti-social personality disorder, and physical defects) thus improving humanity's lot.
People often do not understand there is a different between positive eugenics and negitive eugenics. An example of negitive eugenics is forcible sterilization of people with mental or physical defects. An example of positive eugenics is encouraging those with good genes to have more children.
There is nothing wrong or evil with wanting to improve humankind. Eugenics is widely practiced by those who breed animals in order to produce healthier, more even tempered, better looking animals, why not on humans?
