Dirndl Dresses for Horses
Pet fashion really took off in recent years, so I wasn’t that surpised to see these horses dressed in traditional Bavarian dresses. Dirndl dresses are famous all around the world for being Bavaria’s traditional outfits, thousands of Bavarian women wear them, and now, apparently even horses. German designer Hildegard Bergbauer used to create drindl dresses […]

This Russian fellow spent 18 days building this awesome pc case mod from scratch, after watching Wall-E. He just fely had to have Wall-E hold his computer components and because there […]
The Sand-Eating Woman
I’ve heard about a lot of weird things that people take pleasure in eating, but sand? Apparently there is someone out there who not only eats sand, but considers it a delicacy. Not much is known about this woman, other than she lives in a Russian village and every day she goes out, fills her […]
Mister Plastic Fingers
This dude would make a great escape artist. I bet he could break out of a pair of handcuffs with ease. Sure, he’s no Rubberboy, but I tried bending my fingers like that, and I almost broke one of them. Looking at some of the photos, I thought to myself ‘this doesn’t look too difficult’, […]
Goat on a Wire
Balancing on a wire is a tough job for a human, let alone for a goat. Still, the animal trainers at a Chinese circus managed to teach this goat how to keep its balance while having a small monkey perform stunts on its head. And I thought Eskil Ronningsbakken’s balancing stunts were impressive. What this […]

The Knitted Village
These lovely old ladies have spent a long time knitting their classic British village of Mersham.

Juan Camillo Rojas, a very talented artist based in Miami, created ‘Enjoy’ as part of an artistic installation created to demonstrate how ideas could represent outside their usual meanings. In the case of ‘Enjoy’, the artists sought to raise awareness to the damages of drinking soda, or enjoying soda, a slogan used by the world’s […]
Japanese Pregnant Doll
And I thought pregnant Trash Talkin’ Turleen was disgusting. The pregnant doll and the models of human fetuses in different stages of development, were very popular items in 19th century Japan. They were part of educational and entertaining sideshows in Edo (present day Tokyo). The pregnant doll was originally created to teach midwives about giving […]
World’s Smallest Fast-Food Meal
And here I though the normal McDonald’s hamburger was small. This thing isn’t even big enough for a smurf. I can understand why people would go out of their way to cook the world’s biggest hamburger, but the smallest? You don’t even get a nice, filling dinner out of it. But, as an artistic achievement, […]
