Common things can be easily changed and impress you when you look at them from a new angle. Enjoy!

Yes, you got this right.
This man’s name is Conrad Zdzierak, 30, who disguised as a black man and in only 3 hours could rob 5 banks and a drug store. So, right after the robberies, the police couldn’t even suspect the man as they were looking for a black man.
The bank employees didn’t even know that they were fooled. As a sophisticated disguise, Zdzierak used a “Hollywood-style rubber special effects mask and gloves that made him look like a black man.”

This smart monkey found a way to trick people and steel their bag. It’s the first time I come across baboons who are purse thieves :)

Earth Day is celebrated annually since 1970 in order to remind people how we affect this world and how our planet affects and sustains us. Great “Earth Day” photos are after the jump.

There is a way to hide your butt crack when you are wearing low-rise jeans. You can use this nice looking butterfly patch :)

This dangerous arsenal of weapons was confiscated from Italian football fans who attended the famous Rome Derby between the two major Rome teams, Lasio and Roma.

When parents in China can’t afford child care, they leave their kids on work or on the streets tied up… Very sad photos.

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull’s volcano continued to spew ash all over Europe, it should remind all of us of the wrath that Mother Nature can wreak. As the volcano continued to rumble and hurl ash skyward it also brought us some beautiful scenery as these photos prove. Although the volcano shut down airports all over Europe, it also made for some gorgeous and interesting photography.

Some people love tattoos so much they make them on the bottom of their feet. This collection of crazy foot tattoos is pretty cool.

I recently found great works by Manjari Sharma, an Indian photographer from New York, and liked her Shower series the most. Soft light, nice atmosphere and different people who visited Manjari’s apartment to participate in an unusual photo shoot.

Here’s a little selection of animals who know how to hold a brush and do some abstract art.
Most of them are trained, of course, but some of them felt an artist inside them, took the brush and started to create their own artworks.
Like this dog Sammy who lives with his owner in Maryland. His owner said that Sammy started to paint after his owner attached a brush to his rubber bone. Recently some of his works were sold for $1,700. Not bad for a dog, huh? ;)

Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong (China), is slashed by heavy rain. Streets and roads are hidden under the water.

I fell in love with this great blue cat from “Alice in Wonderland” movie, but of course all these artworks by two artists Bobby Chiu and Michael Kitsche are awesome!

I used to fish when I was younger, but I never saw such a worm. It can probably be used to catch a shark :)

We posted an entry with one Chinese girl who transforms into a pretty gal after putting makeup on. Here she is once again, only this time she masters the technique of putting her makeup even better than before. Personally, I think she looks much better here than in her previous transformation. And the fake hair she uses this time looks more natural.

As part of an effort to stay one step of counterfeiters, the U.S. Treasury Department has unveiled a high tech makeover of the $100 bill. These photos show the new version of the $100 bill and how it changed through decades till its appearance in 1860.

The front of the 1890 version of the $100 bill.

This is how our world looks like today, according to Reuters. Great photos made by professionals, both emotional and affecting.

One man came home from work and found this mess. It was left by his dog that didn’t like to stay alone at home. Mess itself wasn’t a shock, but the dog itself looked really unusual :)

Wild boars are common guests on German roads. They can run into traffic, thus automobile clubs conduct crash tests to see the impact of a collision with a horde of boards. The life-size models were attached to a rolling platform. The car smashed into boars at 62 mph (80 kilometers an hour) damaging the front. The passenger cell was untouched, so if this happens in reality, people inside the car will survive.

This house looks neat until you see the back yard. I would be ashamed to live in such a mess! This yard definitely needs spring-cleaning.
