Bearable

One of a series of brilliant bear portraits by renowned photographer Jill Greenberg. First seen here.

Supercrane

An amazing creation for sure: Brooklyn-based Brazilian artist Vik Muniz has taken two million small paper cranes sent in for the Japan earthquake relief, and is tuning them into one giant super crane. First seen here.

Free at last

I have seen similar shots, but never one so perfect. Prison break in the floral community. First seen here.

Cookie cup

Not a very stylish design, but full marks for creativity and usefulness. I'd like one. First seen here.

Who's next?

Guilty as charged, I immediately started singing the lines. First seen here.

Every single time

Well, I don't know about you, but I can definitely relate to this one.... First seen here.

Psychoplates

A lovely designed plate set for after dinner conversation of a different kind: famous Rorschach test patterns used as decoration. First seen here.

Native American themed paper art

Amazingly detailed paper sculptures based on Native American themes. Takes me back to the Karl May books I read as a teenager. Impressive work by Allen and Patty Eckman. First seen here.

Cup cakes

Probably the most intriguingly shaped cupcakes I have ever seen. Surprising and effective - I'd like to see the eyes of people who did not know what was served, when they are cut open. First seen here.

Ladybug fooled

A very special way to decorate your toe nails, but it did manage to attract the real thing.... First seen here.

Narrow escape

Talk about a narrow escape... This Chinese couple nearly reversed their car off a 15m drop in Changsha. With their vehicle hovering over the 15m drop below, the couple managed to crawl out and were luckily uninjured. First seen here.

Lion... uhh... yes?

Believe it or not, this is an actual lion, in what probably is the worst taxidermy job of all time. It was prepared for the King of Sweden in 1731. Unbelievable. First seen here.

Turntable clock

I have seen old LP records been used as the basis for a clock before, but this is the first time I see a good old turntable (like memories....) added in the package. Love it. First seen here.

Faroe football pitch

The Faroe Islands, an island group situated halfway between Scotland and Iceland, has taken part in UEFA football(soccer) tournaments for some time now, but this is the first shot I have seen of their national football pitch. Simply amazing location - and indeed, they do have a guy in a boat that collects the balls that fall into the sea during a match..... First seen here.

Perfect timing

Taken from yet another selection of "perfectly timed" shots. As usual, most are variations on far too often used themes, but this one made me smile. First seen here.

Muppets cupcakes

Another example of "too good to eat" really - these cupcakes made to resemble Muppets characters in astonishing detail. Brings back memories. First seen here.

Quack!

One of the funniest duck shots I have encountered. Sourced from Fukung, a site which I never link to because many of their images are extremely not safe for work.

Shanghai - London

It sounds like a modern version of a Jules Verne novel: Zheng Sheng, a 23-year-old college graduate from Shanghai, has fulfilled his dream of cycling across Eurasia, traveling 14,000 kilometers all the way to London. For the full amazing story, click the link. First seen here.

Coffee art

An amazing collection of coffee decorations. Good stuff - in more than one way. First seen here.

London 2011/2012

In the midst of the worst civil disorders in Britain's history, it is good to see that there are still people who can treat it with humour. First seen here.

The real Shrek

Taken from a post on fictional characters based on real people, this one surprised me. Turns out that the green ogre Shrek is based on an actual person, pro-wrestler Maurice Tillet. First seen here.

Technicolor ants

An interesting scientific experiment performed and recorded by Dr. Mohamed Babu. Ants feasting on coloured sugar water actually turn the colour of their lunch - en passant demonstrating that they favour lighter colours such as yellow and green. First seen here.

Model Airplane News April 1957

Another lovely cover of days gone by for model aircraft enthousiasts - like myself when I was a teenager. Pure nostalgia, but not artistic enough for the under cover series in Art for Art's sake. First seen here.

Building a footpath way up high

Baffling. A fascinating and scary series of shots of Chinese workers constructing a footpath thousands of metres up the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China. Without any safety regulations whatsoever. First seen here.

Give me a ring, give me a hand

Of all the i-accessories I have seen, this i-Phone case takes the biscuit. Downright creepy and unpractical. First seen here.

Stamp

Thinking of using this image at work when there is another idiot flooding the inboxes with reply to all or similar nonsense Picked up this image at the Fukung site, so no link.

Priceless capture

Normally these types of capture shots don't do much for me, but this one had me laugh at loud. Encountered on Fukung, so no link.

Lady Di-Pad

I still have to wait foir the release of the iPad 3.0 before my wife will let me have her iPad 1.0. Would it go quicker if I gave her this special iPad bag? Taken from an overview of interesting iPad holders. First seen here.

Schroedinger's cat

A humorous variation on the famous Schroedinger's cat dilemma. First seen here.

Turkish Airlines

There's nothing funny about the ad itself, Its placement is a totally different story though.... First seen here.

Awesome glide

Unfortunately, this is most likely a photoshopped image. But would it not be awesome if this existed and you had a go at it? First seen here.
