Silks are produced by several other insects, but only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacture.
Silk moths lay eggs on specially prepared paper. The eggs hatch and the caterpillars (silkworms) are fed fresh mulberry leaves. After about 35 days and 4 moltings, the caterpillars are 10,000 times heavier than when hatched, and are ready to begin spinning a cocoon. A straw frame is placed over the tray of caterpillars, and each caterpillar begins spinning a cocoon by moving its head. Two glands produce liquid silk and force it through openings in the head called spinnerets. Liquid silk is coated in sericin, a water-soluble protective gum, and solidifies on contact with the air. Within 2–3 days, the caterpillar spins about 1 mile of filament and is completely encased in a cocoon. The silk farmers then kill most caterpillars by heat (100 °C), leaving some to metamorphose into moths to breed the next generation of caterpillars.

Dismissed workers of Triumph International ‘Philippines’ (a huge international underwear manufacturer) were holding and throwing bras and panties in the air in front of Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) in Manila June 30, 2009. They organized this symbolic demonstration to protest against what they qualify as an “illegal and unjust closure of Triumph International Philippines.”
1600 workers were fired because of the closing of Triumph International operations in Philippines.
That’s an unusual and interesting way of protesting… See more pics after the jump.

You cannot even imagine what the human genius can come up with when there is a need to repair or to fix something.
Normally it's great to be able to fix something, but sometimes it’s just stupid.
Well, look at the works of these “handymen”.

One couple bought a historic church in Kyloe, Northumberland.
They invested a lot of money to maintain its exterior and interior. The exterior remains almost intact. They made a restoration, rather than a renovation (which would be 3 times cheaper).
If it were not for them, who knows what would have happened to this church as it was in a poor condition. The couple however readapted the interior to give it a home atmosphere.

Or in this case, two body inflators. I don’t know what did they inflate under the skin of their forheads, but it looks ridiculous and horrible.
They can even replace gradually their brains, apparently they have no use of them

Of course, all stories are fictional, but the pictures are very artistic and well done.
And I think these stories are not only the author’s fruits of imagination, but they show some truth about our society.
In addition, a small bonus, you'll see déjà vu photos of a remarkable story of another hotel room.
