These are the Northern Lights of the Aurora Borealis over Iceland. They are growing in size and intensity and are expected to reach a spectacular peak in 2012. These photos were taken by Icelandic photographer Orvar Thorgiersson.

This is what you would call your basic restaurant in a bus. It travels around the hills of San Francisco and offers eight different dishes. It is a 1989 Ford Ward school bus called Le Truc. By the way, a sandwich costs $8.

Would you do this at - 36C? I would never do it, I simply couldn't. But these people from a local club in Krasnoyarsk went swimming in the Yenisei River on December 12, while the air temperature was -36C. The Yenisei River goes through portions of northern Russia and Mongolia before depositing into the Arctic. I don’t know how they are doing it, but judging by the look on their faces it can be said that they enjoy it a lot…It’s just crazy! I’m freezing now.

We have all taken a bus ride or two in our lives. A school bus, city bus, and even a Greyhound to visit loved ones. In all those trips I bet none of us has ever ridden in anything like the wild buses that we have listed for you today.

These amazing artworks were created by talented New York advertising photographer Steve Bronstein who has a great sense of composition, and knows how to skillfully combine computer graphics with endless fantasy. No wonder he worked for brands, including KitKat, Nintendo, Colgate and Absolut. Steve’s portfolio is a great source of inspiration.

Say hello to Blackie, a female cat living in Britain. She will be celebrating her 24th birthday in January.

This abandoned Prada store with solar panels on the roof is located on a desolate highway 90 in West Texas. It was built as a piece of art and promotional stunt by Scandinavian designers Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset who spent over $80,000 on it. The solar panels generated electricity during the day and at night this boutique’s show-window shined like a rainbow. Sadly, this project didn’t survive the time, because its walls were soon painted with graffiti, windows were broken and shoes were stolen. The funniest thing is that those shoes could only suit people with disabilities, because all of them were “right” foot shoes.

As a result of a heavy snowfall, the Metrodome’s inflatable roof in Minneapolis collapsed. This happened just hours before the Minnesota Vikings were set to play the New York Giants. The roof was made of Teflon coated fiberglass.

In some countries like Austria and Hungary there is such a thing as Krampus. He is a demon like creature and a companion of Santa Clause who travels with him to warn and punish bad children during the Christmas season.

Recently we showed you the pictures of an amazing phenomenon called Cappuccino coast in Cape Town, South Africa. Today you’ll see the pictures of the same phenomenon but in Australia. It’s not cappuccino, but rather latte ;)

This jewelry is made in the form of keyboard keys. It is all very elegant and quite unusual and interesting. It seems that they would make great conversation pieces, but who would want to be reminded of work when they are out in the town.

You just might want to keep these Santa Clauses away from your children this Christmas. They are rather scary. Some of them look like they could be serial killers. Let’s just hope their heart is in the right place.

These pictures were posted on one of the American deer hunters’ site. Their author assures that they were taken in Berwick, Louisiana. Surely, this mysterious beast looks horrible. But it’s most likely a fake photograph though the hunter claims it’s a real one. Anyway, if something like this comes out in the woods at night, anyone would be scared to death…

This cat definitely wants to get his owner’s attention, but the guy is all into the internet. What will cat do next? It’s so funny!

These old photos are absolutely stunning. They are of people doing various things back in the early 1900’s. It is amazing to think about how far we have come technologically in 80 years. Things have certainly changed since these photos were taken.

A guy got into a terrible accident on his Kawasaki motorcycle. There isn’t a piece left that is big enough to put in a breadbasket. The amazing part is that the driver walked away from it almost unscathed. The person was very lucky, indeed.

These are some of the funniest Dog Fort memes and comics that show the adventures of a recon team of dog lobsters with their Red Lobster leader and an officer Dog Fort with whom they check in for further instructions. These animals are so cute, and with hilarious comments they get simply adorable.
