The ark above looks the same as the ark below which survived during the WWII bombings from Nagasaki bombing. These are some solid gates (torii) I must say.
With Daylight Savings Time our days became longer and our clocks will get a work out trying to get us up for work and school. Here are some fun clocks that might make getting up fun or devilishly hard. These are in no specific order, but they are odd and interesting.
Devout Cuckoo
To descend from the snowy hills, people used different items: basins, little bathtubs, mini tri-ski thingy and even inflatable doll. In general, the race has gone wild and very funny.
An Amherst woman arrived at court with a tiny monkey in her bra causing quite a stir.
A resident of Malawi William Kamkwamba built five wind turbines from scrap materials power. The idea to build a wind turbines came to William in 2002 when he was expelled from school for non-payment. A 14-year-old decided to educate himself and began visiting the local library, where he saw the image of a windmill on the cover of the 8th grade American textbook called Using Energy.
Sometimes it all starts with an awkward situation…
This is a homemade telecaster guitar that is awesome. It is absolutely beautiful, very shiny, and autographed. If it sounds anywhere near as good as it looks the guy who built it has a real winner in his hands.
These are some before and after photos of the Tsunami in Japan that were taken from a satellite. The amount of damage that the Tsunami did is incredible. The devastation is unimaginable. So too was the loss of life.

Some people love tats, but this guy went overboard in his fandom craze of Julia Roberts.
Very cruel technique but I think it might work.
It seems that in Russia, the freaky Russian kids have to post their outrageous antics on a social networking website. It would appear that they can no longer contain their emotions. As a result, they behave in a unique way and act very unusual.

These are some absolutely amazing photos of atmospheric conditions when it is raining. They were taken by photographer Kris Dutson, known as “the rain man”. He has spent years traveling around Britain locating the perfect shots.
These are some vintage exercise machines. Like everything else in the old days, not much was known about exercising and how to get into shape. Consequently some of the machines were quite outlandish and very funny.
Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has recently erupted sending fountains of lava spewing into the air.
The volcano has been erupting since 1983 repeatedly and this time it was quite a show.
These amazing old advertisements for computers are really funny to us now. These are from the days where they still had to convince us that computers weren't an instrument of the devil, and that we would find them affordable and useful. From promises of better productivity to making us think it was sexy to have a computer, the advertisers pimped out Leonardo DaVinci and Dom Delouise to hawk their wares.
Having imagination and some free time on your hands can end up in making finger art ;)
It looks like the author had a lot of fun.

After the devastating earthquake and tsunami, which followed afterwards, a huge blast was observed at the Fukushima-Daiichi atomic power plant that caused the radiation leak.
After the earthquake hit Japan, in several of the reactors at the two Fukushima plants the cooling systems failed and “without cooling, the temperature in the reactor core builds, with the risk that it could melt through its container into the building housing the system.” It also causes pressure in the containers where the reactor is situated.
The Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan declared that the amount of radiation released was "tiny." We sure hope so… but could this be another Chernobyl??
After the jump, you’ll also see the most recent photos of the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on Friday.
These are instructions on how to make 12 different paper airplanes. So the next time you feel like having a little fun with a paper airplane all you need is some paper and these instructions and you can go flying.
This is the Orbiter Discovery that was taken on picutre by astronaut Paolo Nespoli from the International Space Station. By the way, the shadow that can be seen on the Orbiter is cast by the ISS itself.
Some are fails, though funny, some are unfortunate and some are outrageously hilarious.
A must-see.
