Real-Life Google Streetview

“Here is a simple and funny way to make your still photos look like they are part of Google Streetview or an internet video, ready to be played. It only takes some tape, cardboard, and acrylic, plus a bit of genius when you frame the photo.” w/ photos

Birds Nests In Bizarre Places

“Few doubt the brilliance of bird nest design, but it seems our feathered friends are just as ingenious when it comes to picking locations for their future homes. They need to be, when you consider the rate at which we’re gobbling up space on our planet. Yet looking at some of the bizarre spots birds mark out as prime real estate, anyone would think this business tells you something about each bird’s taste and character.” w/ photos

Child Prodigy Drummer

“Eat your heart Neil Peart! Eat your heart out!”

Homeless Cave Uncovered In Los Angeles

“Why did they destroy it? If these people don’t have a house, who gives a shit if they live under a bridge? Why weld it shut?” — andrewh23

Reversible Tie/Noose

“We have taken a humble and to be quite honest, rather inflexible fashion accessory, the tie, and transformed it into an iconic symbol of both work and play. On one side of the tie is a work appropriate pattern, not unlike many of the other ties that currently reside on your tie rack. But as soon as the boss goes home, the fun can really begin.” w/ photos

Angry Swan Vs. Young Fawn

“Even the wildlife were feeling the heat yesterday as Britain basked in sunshine. As the temperature hit 79F (26C), a young deer ventured down to a pond in London’s Richmond Park for a dip. Unfortunately, as these amazing pictures show, a resident swan wasn’t so keen on sharing its spot and threw the fawn out on its ear – with a deftly aimed peck.” w/ photos

Teen Cracks 300-Year-Old Math Puzzle

“A 16-year-old Iraqi immigrant living in Sweden has cracked a maths puzzle that has stumped experts for more than 300 years, Swedish media reported on Thursday. In just four months, Mohamed Altoumaimi has found a formula to explain and simplify the so-called Bernoulli numbers, a sequence of calculations named after the 17th century Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, the Dagens Nyheter daily said.” w/ photo

15 Off-The-Wall Theme Parks

“I’m a huge fan of theme parks. I love roller coasters and costumed characters and all that jazz, but there are some parks that are boring and some that are just plain weird. Personally, I think I could pass on quite a few of these bad parks… others I want to visit just to see what the deal is.” w/ photos + videos
