This huge fish was found dead on the Yasawas Islands, Fiji. It seems that it died after trying to swallow a puffer fish… Not the best dinner, huh?

Take a look at how seventh graders describe scientists before and after their visit to Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. These drawings will tell you a lot about child’s attitude towards science workers ;)
The photos in this post are some world’s biggest stuff. Although many of these things are totally useless, other than to have your picture taken with, they are very interesting. Most represent real life items that are simply hugely oversized.

“As Long As We Both Shall Live" is a documentary created in the USA. It researches the marriage situation in America for the last three generations. All marriages that are shown in this project have the same feature. They all last for at least 40 years!
Can you imagine being happy with your second half for this period of time? Personally I would love to marry once and forever though it often sounds like a fairy tale nowadays.

Bees are fascinating insects. Not only do they pollinate all of our plant life but they also make honey, sometimes referred to as the nectar of the Gods. These photos show you exactly how that honey is obtained.
This is probably one of the most beautiful atmosphere phenomena. Light pillars can be observed in cities with many different colorful light sources. The main requirements needed for light pillars to appear are low temperature (at least 20 C below zero), wind absence and a big number of ice crystals in the atmosphere. Ice crystals should be plate shaped. They float in the air close to the ground reflecting light back downwards. The whole scene looks beautiful and fantastic.
A couple of chairs, a table, lights and storage for your papers are the parts of a nice portable office called Kruikantoor. This invention created by Dutch designers can be useful for businessmen who travel a lot. It’s compact and doesn’t require much room. At the same time it is comfortable and nice looking.
Take a look at another Egg Shape Mobile Unit to compare with Kruikantoor.
Have you ever seen deadly caterpillars? They do exist in South America. Lonomia obliqua is one of the world’s most dangerous caterpillars. It is responsible for several deaths each year.
Lonomia enjoys hiding on the trees’ bark. If you lean against a tree in Brazil or other South American country where Lonomia lives, you might be poisoned by these caterpillars.
Their poison can cause serious bleeding, hemolysis and even death.
You can see the consequences of meeting with Lonomia inside this post.

Animals are always cute no matter what they do. But this collection of dog fails is just so funny that I can’t stop laughing. Enjoy!
I saw many different installations created using people as “paints”. But American artist Daniel Dancer did much more than this. His art combines latex paints and people to make giant images on the Earth. He sometimes invites over 4,000 volunteers to implement his idea into life. This sky art is stunning!
