The newly elected Pope Benedict XVI, formally known as German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, blesses thousands of pilgrims from the balcony of the St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, April 19, 2005.

Dogs are awesome creatures, we don’t call them men’s best friends for no reason, but dogs are not always… smart!
Some of them can eat things you could hardly think it is possible to swallow, I’m not talking about poo… no, I’m more thinking about items such as forks, soccer balls… and lots of other crazy things!

Take a look at this funny instruction on how to create sneakers that would look like they are meant for a horror movie. Would you wear such shoes?

This apartment seems to belong to a Russian old man who knows how to party. Friends + vodka + mess = drunken friendlymess? ;)

If you suffer from hay fever, you can now get acquainted with your invisible enemy. These are the Scanning Electron Microscope pictures of pollen grains captured by Martin Oeggerli. Take a close look at pollens from different species of plants.

When things seem impossible, some people just won’t say die. They will find some ridiculous way to achieve their goals no matter how difficult the task may be. Some of their inventions are amazing, some are incredible, but all are ridiculously funny.

Sometimes librarians can be so cruel! I didn’t believe it myself until I saw these agressive library signs.

Have you ever been on a real submarine? Personally I haven’t. That is why I enjoyed this Hyper-Sub Submersible Powerboat “descending photo tour”. This is a 31-foot surface-cruising powerboat that has a really cool design and many great functions.

These are the opinions expressed by some Americans on Tax Day no matter how unusual these signs might sound to you. You can agree or disagree. Be the judge!

I lack words to describe how great these sand sculptures are! Better see yourself!

Let’s remember the most interesting moments of March captured in these bright photos.

The volcano that has erupted in Iceland disrupts the whole world. Millions of passengers can’t get home because all Asia-Europe flights are stopped – governments are afraid of the fallout from the ash cloud drifting from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Iceland volcanoes illustrate world’s interconnectedness. Collected here are photos of the most recent eruption.

NLA made a report about the working environment in Chinese company KYE which manufactures products for Microsoft: gamepads, mice, keyboards. Report shows facts about KYE’s employees treated there as slaves. The staff is working for 90 hours per week, receiving 52 cents per hour (about 200 dollars a month), they are forbidden to talk to each other, to go to the bathroom during working hours (which makes a 15-hour shift) and to leave the factory. They live in dormitories, 14 people in a room, they are beaten and female workers are very often sexually harassed by security guards and many more.

The employees say that they don’t have a life, they have only work. They sleep, get up very early, go to work, come back and go to sleep. And this circle never stops until they decide to leave the factory or to flee.

The photos in this post may make you remember the nostalgic days from yesterday, but they are very beautiful and may also remind you of days of simpler times.

The small village of Szymbak in Poland attracts tourists from all over the world. Why? Here there is the craziest upside down house. It was built by Polish businessman Daniel Czapiewski. The strange angles of its walls might give you the feeling of being disoriented and confused.
