  The iconic Detroit ruin formerly known as the Packard plant is set to be demolished starting as early as *next week*. The ruins have been featured on BoingBoing in the past as the decay is rather photogenic. If you’ve been meaning to head into Detroit to make your own study of the ruins, I suggest you head here this weekend.

  Perhaps some of the most visible example of industrial decay to be found within the city of Detroit is to be torn down. The Packard plant ruins have been featured on BB in the past due to their rather photogenic nature. I’m torn as to whether this is a step toward progress in addressing the blight in the city, or a tragic loss of an icon of a bygone era. Either way, there’s not a whole lot of time remaining for those who have been meaning to document the site, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. The demo work begins as early as next week.

  It’s 2012, and the anonymous vérité pop collective Mad Genius has decided to chart the course of our apocalypse by creating the catchiest audio newscast on the internet. The talking heads have become pop stars. Our first entry: “Doggie Sunglasses.” January finds the GOP trying to outgun each other, Obama trying to be funny while Kelly Clarkson tries to be a fundit, a giant frickin’ boat tries to stay upright and Lana Del Rey plays the role of Greek siren. We sincerely hope you enjoy the listen, BoingBoingers.

  Sifrhippus shrank from about 12 pounds average weight to about eight and a half pounds as the climate warmed over thousands of years, a team of researchers reported in the journal Science on Thursday.

  The horse (siff-RIP-us, if you have to say the name out loud) lived in what is still horse country, in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming, where wild mustangs roam.

• Retro game A-Men launches with the PS Vita

  True gaming is reborn on the PlayStation Vita with the launch of A-Men.

  Honourably inspired by retro-cult classics Lemmings and Lost Vikings, A-Men gives you control of up to five army characters, each with their own personalities, skills and tools, whose mission is to round up the equally endearing enemies across a series of worlds and puzzles.

  Highly tactical and completely addictive, the game is immediately easy to play and yet like many classic games it is hard to truly master, and harder still to master in style.

  Dear Boingboingers

  For those of you who like Top Shelf Jazz (who have been featured on this site previously), please enjoy their latest commercial sell-out – an ad for Foad’s Wax. The only wax for your moustache. The wax was created by make-up artist Patt Foad and does not melt under stage lights, like most other waxes out there. I highly recommend it, even if you do not have a moustache.

  Enjoy!

  Chisora Brawls with Hayes After Klitschko Fight

  Police in Germany have released without charge British boxer Dereck Chisora following a bloody brawl with rival UK fighter David Haye.

  Chisora threatened to shoot David Haye after the two were involved in a brawl at the news conference following Chisora’s WBC heavyweight title loss to Vitali Klitschko.

  Chisora accused Haye of “glassing him”, before saying at least four times that he would shoot the former WBA heavyweight champion.

  He then added: “If David don’t fight me, I am going to physically burn him.”

  Haye’s manager, Adam Booth, also suffered cuts to his face in the melee
