World’s First Sand Hotel
The world’s first sand-hotel is open for business on Weymouth beach, Dorset, in England. The 1000 tone-of-sand structure was built in a week by a team of 4 sand-sculptors and is only expected to last until it rains…which, as you probably know, happens quite often in Britain. The sand-hotel was commissioned by a local travel […]

Ship in the Middle of Hong Kong

The Tree Goats of Morocco
Did you know goats could climb trees? Well, anyway, I didn’t but it turns out, goats climb trees very often in Morocco. These Moroccan goats you see in the photos climb the Argan trees with incredible ease, in order to get to the delicious fruits that the locals use to make oil. I knew some […]
Modern-day Noah’s Arc
While religious experts search for proof Noah’s Arc really existed, modern artists build replicas of the ship from The Book of Genesis.

Coolest coolers ever
Oh yeah, we all have this problem…all who can’t afford an expensive cooling system, that is.

Monster Cab
How would you like a ride in this bad-boy? Cool idea if I may say so, good for business, those New-York cabs all look the same, so any modification to make one stand out is a welcome one. Wonder if it’s really still a working cab, I’d like to take it for a ride.
