Dress Made from Spider Silk (6 Pics)

This eye-catching garment was made entirely with spider silk. The threads were from spiders in Madagascar. They were collected by hand. I’ve had nightmares that went a lot like that, but instead of collecting them I was screaming in pure terror.

Hotel Grozny City exists within Grozny City, a complex of high rise buildings in the Chechen Republic. The collection of structures will consist of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The architect played a lot of Sim City.

Franken-Fashion Show (8 Pics)

Men’s fashion evolved into a whole other level on the Thom Browne catwalk. Lurching creatures stumbled back and forth in an attempt to make sense of it all. There was none. Everyone left feeling drained in a bewildered haze.

House Decorated in Gold (3 Pics)

gold_01

This shiny decorated home exists somewhere in Russia. The owners went all out and made everything gold. Too much? Or should they just go all the way and paint the bushes? There’s still a little bit of non-gold color showing.

This catfish must have been really hungry. He tried to swallow a buoy but it didn’t quite fit. The round inedible was stuck in his teeth. Luckily some nice fishermen happened upon the ailing fish and freed his mouth from the buoy.

edge_01

How would you like to step out your front door and fall 100 feet into the rough waters below? This city was built on the edge of a cliff with hardly any room to maneuver around the close-knit houses. It seems dangerous to raise children in this hazardous neighborhood. At least they probably won’t fear [...]

bridge_01

This is the Capilano suspension bridge. You can find it in North Vancouver, Canada, as 800,000 other people do each year to walk across a thin swaying path that leads through the high canopy of the forest. Please don’t jump up and down on the bridge.

Population: One (6 Pics)

popone_01

There are places in the world with a total population of one single person. The kings and queens of empty lands. A single road travels in and out. The town meetings involve a lot of talking to oneself back and forth.

10 Leaning Towers

How much longer will these towers last? Will they ever fall over? Who will be standing inside them, riding them to their demolition like a ship sinking to gravity? If you jump right before they hit the ground, will you still be crushed and buried in bricks and rubble?

6 Obscure Foods

You probably won’t find these snacks in your local store. Only the weirdest places carry these, imported from foreign lands and cultures. If you can find one, you deserve to eat it.
