Moonscape 360

Super-cool 360 degree panoramas from each Moon mission.
Now with soundtrack! Conversations between Houston and the astronauts.

Nice shack. Wicked 4x4. Satellite TV.
All we need now are some green moon-women.

Time Tunnel

You know, I had just fired up the wayback machine and was halfway to back to the 60's for a hippie sex holiday, when the power went out.
Just look what it did to my house!

Light at the end of the time tunnel

Wolves

Hey, where's everybody going?

Ouch! Somebody please open that window.

Aftermath of a Nuke

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.

Step into a comic book.

Here's the hotel:



and some other rooms:

Whoa, horsey!

An oldie but a goodie:

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.

I need to relocate. This place is a dive.

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!

The living quarters looks great,
but that parking garage goes way down there

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.

Garden of Light Sabres

Put a bunch of flourescent blubs underneath powerlines and they light up from the excess power leakage. Makes you glad you don't live underneath.
