Yes, this is not a mistake, this triplex penthouse apartment located in a clock tower near the Brooklyn Bridge and the Port of New York really costs some modest $25 million.
As it is a penthouse in a tower clock, each facade has a working clock in a 14-foot-high round window. This means you always know what time it is, unless you forget to read the time backwards...
And as it is a triplex, there are 3 floors and a very large area. The first floor which is the main floor is 3000 square feet - it is composed of an open living room, a dining room and a kitchen with a 16-foot ceiling.
At the center of the space, there is a glass-walled elevator surrounded by a staircase that leads to 2 other smaller floors. The 2nd floor is 2300 square feet and consists of 3 bedrooms. Finally, the last floor is "only" 988 square feet - it is an open loft with a 15-foot ceiling.
Another interesting fact, ‘the price is more than double the highest price known to have been paid for a home in Brooklyn.’ Its creator, David Walentas, said that ‘the ClockTower apartment was not timed to the fluctuations in the real estate market, because the apartment was a one-of-a-kind space that would appeal only to a one-of-a-kind buyer...’ The flat offers of course a beautiful view over the city, the port, the bridges and the East River.
So, tempted?)
Remember this photo of the squirrel that put its face between the camera and a couple in Canada’s Banff National Park? We published it last week in one of our daily picdumps. This pic is actually super famous and made its way all around the web!
It’s so popular now that lots of people have made photomontages with this famous squirrel popping in diverse photos, known or not. Here is a collection of those pics.
If you are inspired, you can even make some by yourself very easily thanks to this website: The Squirrelizer.
And you can send them to us to this address: [email protected]. If there is enough good content, we will make another selection that will be de facto YOUR selection. So, give it a try!
Nothing really to say, they are all very explicit and will make you smile.

Funny story
I quote the author next:"For years now, of my life’s goals has been to scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef. It may just have something to do with growing up in Alberta, the most bland, colourless, and featureless place on Earth, but pictures of the reef always made it look like the most beautiful place possible.
A few months ago, I finally made the trip. Not to dwell on the negatives, but here’s approximately what it cost:
Flight to Melbourne – $1500
Flight to Cairns – $500
Hotel in Cairns – $150
Dive boat rental – $200
Dive cost – $120".
