Arte Luise Kunsthotel
A hotel in Berlin where each room is designed and decorated by a different artist.
Here's the best one. It looks fake like a cartoon, but it's an actual photograph. It's real. It's just very clever paint.
Here's the hotel:
and some other rooms:

Lucky Goldfish
Here's a new one: A combination deep fryer/goldfish bowl.
Oil and water doesn't mix, right? So stuff cooks on the hot oil on top, and the goldfish lives in the water underneath. As long as the fish doesn't go near the surface, everything's cool. Plus, it gets to eat all the crusty bits that fall to the bottom.
Sounds sketchy. I wonder what the realistic life expectancy of the goldfish is.

Ant Condo
Scale model of an ant farm. Styley architecture.
They pour orthodontal slurry, or in some cases molten aluminum or zinc down the nest and then dig it out. Nasty!

My Generation
A bunch of outrageously old crusties called The Zimmers have covered The Who's My Generation. Singer dude is 90. One guy is actually 100. These people were old when it first came out.
Yup. As expected, it sucks really bad.
Here's the real one:
And an early one:
Now that's more like it.
