Frozen waterfall climbing
How cold does it have to be to freeze a waterfall anyway? Pretty cold I guess, but the question that really bugs me is “how crazy do you have to be to climb one of these babies?” I mean besides the fact that they don’t make them much steeper than this, they must be slippery […]
Cement tube houses
I could think of a number of uses for these cement tubes, but housing is still not one of them. But as you can see it’s very possible, and the people living in them seem very content. Sure you only have enough space to fit a small bed but at least you have a roof […]
Backyard wooden roller-coaster
Who ever said you have to go to an amusement park to enjoy a roller-coaster ride? Jeremy Reid decided to put all his effort into creating a fully-working roller-coaster ride in his very own backyard. It only cost him 9.500 pounds of lumber, a lot of time and $5.500, a very small price considering he […]
Marlbaro cellular phone
Yeah, I know, it’s not Marlboro, but it’s Chinese so it’s not that unusual. By using this Chinese-made device you can fool people into thinking you’ve totally gone bananas and started talking on your cigarette pack. Although I’m sure it doesn’t have all the features of the latest mobile phones, but I know I’d love […]
Cappadocia Cave Hotel
Yes, I know, another place I’d like to visit in my lifetime. Cappadocia Hotel literally carved into the Yunak Evleri mountain cliff. It includes 6 cave houses, a 19th century Greek mansion and 30 rooms dating back to the 5th and 6th century. Another reason to visit the luxurious Cappadocia Hotel is the opportunity to […]
Cooked rats actually look pretty good
You might not think so after seeing the first picture but check out the other ones and you’ll see what I mean. Rats are a delicacy in countries like Thailand and Vietnam and many tourists try it at least once when visiting. You wouldn’t catch me dead eating one of those buggers, but I read […]
PC deep-frier
I knew PCs can get pretty hot, but not that hot…WOW!!! After seeing people use pumpkins as PC cases, I shouldn’t have been surprised by this experiment, but I was. First of all, I had no idea a PC could function in a pool of cooking oil, let alone heat it enough to cook French […]
Floppy-disk man bag
You thought floppy-disks were obsolete didn’t you…DIDN’T YOU?!? Well as you can see that’s not true at all, I for one would love to have one of those, but I’m just to lazy to get to work. It’s nice to know that I’ve finally found some use to the hundreds of floppy-disks I have lying […]
Faith-the biped dog
Dogs need 4 legs to walk…or do they? Well most of them do, but not wonder dog Faith. She was born with deformities, she only had one front leg and it had to be removed when she was 7 months because it was starting to atrophy. But thanks to the care of her adoptive owners […]
Mountains in the Philippines
Who says agriculture doesn’t belong in mountain regions! I have to hand it to these workers, they’ve certainly made lemonade with the lemons nature gave them. It’s definitely not easy to practice agriculture in this kind of environment, but they pulled it off in the Philippines and they did it by using their hands and […]
Organic PC
Nature and technology coming together in a very unusual way. I’m sure most of you know pumpkin is great material for pie and Halloween lanterns, but how many of you knew it makes a great PC case? Yup these photos prove that parts can be easily mounted in a big, orange pumpkin and still function […]

World’s biggest burger
I wonder if your heart explodes after eating one of these babies? The world’s biggest cheeseburger comes from Bob’s BBQ & Grill of Pattaya, Thailand and it was created in celebration of the king of Thailand’s 60th year accession to the throne. The burger’s unveiling was witnessed by officials from Ripley’s Believe It or Not, […]
Bottle-cap painting
Here’s another way to recycle apparently useless junk. I must admit that, even though I’m very interested in recycling and the whole environmental issue, using bottle caps to create beautiful art, never crossed my mind. That goes to show you that we can find solutions to our problems where we least expect it. This “painting” […]
