Hurghada is a city in the Red Sea well known for providing access to many uninhabited offshore reefs and islands. One of their specialities is yacht construction; and they are doing quite a good job :)

What makes the house in these photos so unusual is that it has moving walls in an attempt to make it as safe as possible. When the house is open to the garden toward the west and east sidewalls, an outer courtyard is created. A person can’t get in through the garden or go through the main entrance of the building. The owners must wait for a certain period of time after the opening to the security entrance. Therefore, when the house is closed, the security zone protects the building.
In this selection of photos, different tractors are in some unbelievable predicaments. It is even more unfathomable to try to imagine how they got in some of these situations.
It is sue fun to drive a tractor, I should try it ;)
Yes, you read it right! But apart from animals there are some cartoon characters that cars resemble. My favourite is Chrysler Crossfire, look what it looks like. Too funny ;)))
The most common of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch (e.g. cornflour) in water. The sudden application of force — for example by stabbing the surface with a finger, or rapidly inverting the container holding it — leads to the fluid behaving like a solid rather than a liquid. This is the "shear thickening" property of this non-Newtonian fluid. More gentle treatment, such as slowly inserting a spoon, will leave it in its liquid state. Trying to jerk the spoon back out again, however, will trigger the return of the temporary solid state. A person moving quickly and applying sufficient force with their feet can literally walk across such a liquid. [Wikipedia]

Did you know that a tin-foil hat can protect your brain from aliens? Well, this knowledge has helped one Russian to create a 300 % protection for his brain. This guy thought that the more foil he used the better. Since his wife wasn’t convinced with his ideas, Andrew took his computer, couch and all the foil he could find in the house and moved to his garage. Wanna check out his new glamour living room?

The mysterious Tower of the Devil, known as Devils Tower, is located in northeastern Wyoming in the United States. Its height is over 1,266 ft., which is comparable with the height of the Empire State Building, which is about 1,250 ft. without the spire. The rock formed about 65 million years ago by volcanic activity, and is unusually shaped in the form of woman’s hips which was the result of erosion of the surrounding soft rock around a strong internal structure.
I like when fat people are optimistic and have a good sense of humor. Maybe they can’t lose extra weight, but they can make you laugh not being ashamed of their looks.

Some TV channels really know how to shock people and promote their programs. For example, this model of a camel corpse used to advertise “Man Vs Wild” episodes shown on Discovery looks very bizarre! I wish I could take pictures sitting inside of this carcass, but, unfortunately, I wasn’t in Wynyard Park (Australia) in the beginning of March.
Joana Vasconcelos is a creator of this unbelievably huge chandelier which she called “The Bride”, probably due to its shape. You may not notice it directly but when you get closer you can see that it is made mostly from tampons. This piece is quite intriguing, I’d like to see it with my own eyes!
Who would have predicted that ordinary rain can do that with a river in a such idyllic place of Mag-Aso falls on Bohol Island, Philippines.
Everything was normal when suddenly the water began to rise very quickly, the waterfall started to fall heavily and the river current accelerated.
The two guys who were in the water at that time found themselves trapped under the waterfall. This continued for several hours ... The bodies of two guys were found a couple days later, 5 km from this place that seemed to be a little piece of paradise...
Divers in Kazakhstan are crazy! They love extreme and can’t live without diving even if it’s winter outside. Only look what these five guys perform on Kaindy Lake! You won’t regret!
Here’s a funny set of photomontage pictures with babies firing laser beams from their eyes. Careful, they may pulverize you with one look ;)
