The Radar: Singapore's Dim Sum Dollies, Get Married Maya Style, Phone Book Shed

• Musical cabaret trio the Dim Sum Dollies sing about how to "love your ride" on Singapore's public transit system, the MRT, in the video above.

• Get married Maya-style at Mexico's Playa del Carmen on the Yucatán Peninsula. Maya shamans conduct the authentic ceremony in the Maya language as bride and groom exchange the symbolic gifts of corn and cacao. Ceremonies incorporate pre-Hispanic music and can be held in a chapel, on the beach, or near Mayan ruins.

• Architecture students at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia constructed a shed made of recycled phone books. The laminated phone books that constitute the roof help weatherproof the structure that's also something of a time capsule, preserving the names and numbers of those listed in the building-block phone books.
