[nidokidos] Unusually Shaped Buildings from Around the World

Unusually Shaped Buildings from Around the World

Unusual architecture is a pastime of mine. All around the world architects try to outdo each other in bigger and grander ways. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next. I hope to one day see some of these whoppers of outrageous, and ultimately beautiful buildings.

Kuchlbauer Tower in Abensberg, Bavaria, Germany

This innovative building is an observation tower, which lies in the grounds of the Kuchlbauer Brewery. Inside the tower, you can learn about the brewing process and see a collection of 4200 Weissbier glasses.

Sanya Airport in Hanan, China

This pineapple shaped building is the airport in Sanya, China. The small airport sees millions of passengers annually and is a vital part of attracting tourists.

Gardens by the Bay in Singapore

This park is situated on 250 acres of reclaimed land with 3 large gardens, and is part of the city's plan to become a 'City in a Garden'. The most notable part of the park are the 26- 50 meter (85-164 ft.) tall tree-like structures, named "supertrees".

Icon Residence, Mont Kiara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This one of a kind building with serviced apartments offers panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur. The building features innovative green energy technology, a vertical garden and other standard luxuries such as a gardens, a gym, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, and game rooms.

Castello di Sammezzano, Italy

This luxury castle in the Tuscan hills of Italy has only recently been reopened to the public. It's a notable Moorish Revival style building from the 15th century and was a hotel during World War II.

Strawberry House, Bom Princípio, Brazil

This city gate seems strange, but once you learn that Bom Principio, in Brazil is considered the strawberry's National City, it makes more sense. Every October the city hosts an annual strawberry festival.

Huilo-Huilo Biological Reserve, Chile

This private for profit nature reserve in southern Chile features ecotourism at its finest and is dedicated to wildlife conservation. It also hosts the longest zip line in South America.

Antilia Building in Mumbai, India

This 27 floor high ceiling building is the most expensive residential building in the world, owned by Mukesh Ambani. A staff of 600 is required to maintain the building, and it was designed to survive an earthquake reaching 8 on the Richter scale.

Tianzi Hotel in Hebei Province, China

This kooky hotel has earned itself a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest image building. The three men represent the three gods of Fu, Lu and Shu, the gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity.

Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai, Thailand

Known as Wat Rong Khun, this unconventional white building in Thailand is an art-exhibit designed to look like a Buddhist temple.

The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Located in Pemberton Place, named after Coca-Cola's inventor, John Pemberton, this attraction features interactive media, advertising memorabilia, and a tasting center among other activities. Over one million people visit it annually.

[nidokidos] The Best of Mark Twain's Quotes

The Best of Mark Twain's Quotes

Mark Twain was many things: A great American novelist, a lecturer, a philosopher. He was fascinated with technology and science, and loved talking about philosophy and the world around us. But above all he was a man of words and wit. He is definitely one of the people we most like to read quotes from, sometimes just for the fun of his rapier wit.

The Gunfighter (Best Short Film Ever)

In the tradition of classic westerns, a narrator sets up the story of a lone gunslinger who walks into a saloon. However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty.

[nidokidos] 40 Amazing Facts About the Human Body

40 Amazing Facts About the Human Body

How long does a human hair live for? What's the strongest muscle in the body? These questions and many other bizarre quandaries will be answered in this extra fascinating list of 40 amazing facts about the body you call your home!

1. The brain is more active at night than during the day. Scientists don't yet know
why this is.

2. The higher your IQ, the more you supposedly dream.

3. Facial hair grows faster than any other hair on the body.

4. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than all other fingernails.

5. Fingernails grow nearly four times faster than toenails.

6. The lifespan of a human hair is three to seven years on average.

7. The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve zinc. It doesn't destroy the stomach because the stomach wall constantly renews itself.

8. Women's hearts beat faster than men's.

9. Women blink twice as many times as men do.

10. Women are born better smellers than men and remain better smellers over life.

11. Men burn fat faster than women by a rate of about 50 calories a day.

-
14. The largest cell in the body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.

15. During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools.

16. Babies are born with blue eyes more than any other color. The melanin in their eyes needs time to be fully deposited or to be darkened by ultraviolet light to reveal the baby's true eye color.

17. Men become aroused every hour to hour and a half during sleep. This is because the combination of blood circulation and testosterone production can cause arousal during sleep and are a necessary part of REM sleep.

18. After eating too much, your hearing is less sharp.

19. If your saliva cannot dissolve or mix with food, you will not be able to taste that food (try tasting something after drying off your tongue)

20. Noise causes the pupils to dilate. Even very small noises can do this.

21. Everyone has a unique smell, unique fingerprint and unique tongue print.

22. By age 60, most people will have lost half their taste buds.

23. Your eyes remain the same size after birth but your nose and ears never stop growing.

24. Getting even moderately severe sunburn causes extensive damage to the body's blood vessels.

25. We are about 1cm taller in the mornings than in the evenings.

26. The strongest muscle in the body is the human tongue.

27. The hardest bone in the human body is the jawbone.

28. The hands and feet contain almost half of all the bones in the human body.

29. About 32 million bacteria are present on every inch of human skin. Most are harmless and some of them are even helpful.

30. Humans shed and regrow outer skin every 27 days.

31. 300 million cells die in the human body every minute. Every day an adult produces 300 billion new cells.

32. The colder the room you sleep in is, the higher the chance of you having a nightmare.

33. Humans are the only species that produce emotional tears.

34. All babies are color blind at birth - they see only black and white.

35. The only part of your body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It gets its oxygen directly from air.

37. It's impossible to kill yourself by choking yourself with your hands.

38. Everybody has a stronger eye and a weaker eye.

[nidokidos] Video: "Mind Blowing! ...Earth Compared To The Rest Of The Universe - Amazing Graphic Presentation"

Mind Blowing! ... Earth Compared To The Rest Of The Universe

"There are more stars in our Universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth." There are 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way and more than 100 billion galaxies in the Universe – maybe as many as 500 billion. If you multiply stars by galaxies, at the low end, you get 10 billion billion stars, or 10 sextillion stars in the Universe – a 1 followed by 22 zeros. At the high end, it's 200 sextillion.
These are mind bogglingly huge numbers. How do they compare to the number of grains of sand on the collective beaches of an entire planet? This type of sand measures about a half millimeter across.
