Living Photos by Mole and Thomas
Taken at the beginning of the 20th century, by English photographer Arthur S. Mole and his American colleague John D. Thomas, these living photographs show thousands of American soldiers posing as symbols of American history. I’ve seen a few of these living photos on the internet before, but it’s nice to finally find some real […]
Mega-Pizza
I like my pizza with rich toppings, just like everyone else I suppose, but how much is too much? Take this mega-pizza for example, the cook added a crazy amount of toppings, including, sausage, mushrooms, ham, shrimps, pineapple, cream-cheese, Parmesan, bacon and an egg on top. This delicacy was over 4 inches thick before going […]
Mint Hard – The Ice-Cream Hard-Disk
Mint Pass, a Korean tech company, revealed one of the craziest hard-disk concepts I’ve ever seen. Named Mint-Hard, their new gadget will be shaped like an ice-cream and will be used as an external hard-drive. Users will be able to stock data on the ice-cream part of the device, while the stick is actually a […]

Piglets Love Tequila!
Not the Mexican drink, although I’ve seen pigs eat and drink anything, but a 2-year-old Rottweiler/pit-bull named Tequila, who adopted six little pigs. It all started on a rainy Monday morning, when both farmer John Favreau’s dog and his sow gave birth. Because of the rainstorm, John had to move the piglets in his home, […]
Kissing Animals…Oh Hell No!
Have you ever fantasized about making-out with an animal? You have?!? That’s just twisted… Although zoophilia and bestiality are taboo subjects in our modern society, artist Saiman Chow tackles these delicate issues in his latest artworks. It’s not my thing, but maybe someone out there appreciates this more. via Trend Hunter
Money Wallet Looks Awfully Tempting
Things are often more than they appear to be, but the money wallet is a lot less. Designed to look like a bunch of $100 bills in a rubber band, the Money Wallet looks awfully tempting to pickpockets, so it’s a good way to distract their attention and protect your savings.
The Bookcase Coffin
With the number of home burials on the rise in the US, people have a wider range of coffins to choose from. One of these options is the Bookcase Coffin, built by Chuck Lakin, a woodworker from Waterville, Maine. Mr Lakin makes all kinds of home burial coffins, that double as bookcases, coffee-tables or entertainment […]
Pimped-Out APC, Russian Style
Personally, I thought rollin’ around in a pimped-out Hummer was as cool as it could get, if you’re into big cars, but the Russians are on a whole other level. This Russian APC has to be the coolest personal vehicle ever. Painted in black and green chameleon paint, fitted with xenon lights and featuring GPRS […]
The Upside of a Flood
Floods are never pretty, they cause a lot of damage and sometimes even death. But, if you can, it’s good to see a positive side in everything. Take these two guys from Belarus, for example. After the streets of Minsk were flooded, on July 24, they found a way to turn things from tragic to […]
Giant Mortadella
I have been eating Mortadella ever since I can remember and I’m not even Italian. But I never knew Mortadella can be this big. Apparently, in Bologna and the surrounding area, the boiled sausage known as Mortadella can be as heavy as 200 kilograms. Even weirder is the fact that it’s cut into the thinnest […]
Life Span – The Video Collection
What looks like the world’s biggest videotape collection, is actually an artistic display presented at this year’s Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art. Entitled Life Span and displayed in a small church on Garibaldi Street, this giant block full of VHS videotapes is the work of Australian artists Claire Healey and Sean Cordeiro. In numbers 195,774 […]
The Power of Make-Up
By slowly scrolling down from the first photo to the last one, you’ll realize the true power of make-up in the right hands. This is why I never hit on women wearing too much make-up, you never know who you’re going to wake up in the morning. I’m not saying the girl in the first […]
The World’s Biggest Pipe Organ
Surprisingly enough, the world’s largest organ isn’t located in a cathedral or a church, but in the center of Macy’s Center City Store, in Philadelphia. The Wanamaker Grand Court Pipe Organ is the largest playable pipe organ in the world. Its console alone weighs 2.5 tons and the entire installation weighs 287 tons. It was […]
