Take a look at this monster’s round jaw. It looks horrifying. But this creature is fantastic, as it can survive in extreme environments that would kill people and most animals and even survive the vacuum of space. It can stand temperatures of as low as -273 degrees C (-460 degrees F) and as high as 151 degrees C (303 degrees F). It can stay alive after boiling in hot water, and getting 1,000 times more radiation than humans. It can spend almost a decade without water and food. Probably, these monsters would have seized our Planet by now if not two circumstances. On the one hand, they are extremely small (the biggest adults are able to reach a body length of 1.5 mm). On the other hand, they are slow walkers. They are even called Tardigrada because of this.
The city of Shanghai has certainly changed over the years as evidenced by the photos in this post. While the city may have been poor in the past, it certainly isn’t any more. It is new and modern and full of life.

This is an amazing optical illusion that seems to say that it is more than just printed it’s a point of view. Sometimes you can make it out, sometimes you can’t.
Here comes another selection with different unusual computer mouse designs.
All of them look good but are they ergonomic? Anyways, the designs don’t lack creativity.
In case you haven’t seen it, check out the first part of Snazzy Designs of the Mouse.

These photos taken by JeongMee Yoon of Korea show beyond a shadow of a doubt that boys love blue and girls love pink. Stereotypes confirmed. Well, it may not always be true.
Normally when you think of mushrooms you think of a very dark place with a lot of dank, moist black soil. Not necessarily a pretty sight. But who knew that the mushrooms that grow in that environment would turn out so beautiful? Have a look and see for yourself.

Some examples from polish traditional handcraft from the south of Poland. These photos were taken by me during the field research as an ethnographer
Here's some photos of Edward Curtis. I'm not the owner, I found it interesting and only collect them on my HD. Enjoy!
The funny papers are how we all get our morning chuckle. Most of us grew up on comic books. The funnies are how we all get a little comic relief. The comics in this post are no different. Just one more respite in an otherwise rather dull life.
Twins Nicolas Luisetti and John Paul Olhaberry got a unique idea on how to celebrate Chile’s 200 years of Independence. They froze in the air, and spent 200 minutes “levitating” above thousands of passersby.

This 182 square foot apartment belongs to airplane interior designer Steve Sauer. Steve obviously likes everything in its place and a place for everything. It is 11’ 3” wide, by 16’ 2” deep, by 10’ 4’ tall and there is plenty of room for Steve and all of his living accoutrements.
The airshow in Shoreham, West Sussex, became a real drama for 15,000 fans. Pilot Mike Newman crashed when he was performing for the Swift Aerobatic Display Team. His glider smashed into runway, but the man managed to crawl out of the wreckage alive, but with a backbone trauma. Doctors say he would recover. For now you can view this collection of pictures featuring an unbelievable escape. This pilot was lucky to survive in such a horrible crash!

Of course, these are not photos of the popular Teddy Bear toy. These are real wild and tamed bears that look funny and cute. Many of these pictures will make you smile.
This is a handmade computer case. The whole process of building looks simply amazing, and the result is really beautiful.
These photos depict corporate racism at its best. Actually, they are rather funny if you like that sort of thing. They are supposed to be unintentional but I doubt that there were any minorities doing the quality checks.
This is a smart little fisheye lens for your iPhone that will give you clear and crisp photos every time.
Why it is frustrating playing an adventure game sometimes.
The body bags in this post were given out in the Philippines as part of a promotion for diet pills. I think they were supposed to be a before and after photo to show how much weight the person had lost. All it really does is to show how ugly the body bag is.
Here comes a new collection of great photo fails. Enjoy the best of the best pictures and see how the most interesting ideas can be screwed up by those who implement them into life.
With September wandering outside our windows, let’s remember summer 2010 this way. These photos will surely bring a smile upon your face!
