Zipper Pond

Just how awesome is this: the Zipper Lotus Pond at the Juming Museum outside of Taipei, Taiwan. The zipper pond is created by Taiwanese sculptor Ju Chun and I, for one, am surprised that it doesn’t say "YKK" (look at your zipper, I betcha it says YKK)

Dalek Found in a Pond

Posted by Alex in Movies & SciFi on March 4, 2009 at 3:47 pm

When Marc Oakland volunteered to clear dumped trash from a pond in Beaulieu, Hampshire, England, he didn’t expect to find organisms from the planet Skaro amongst the rubbish:

The 42-year-old said: "I’d just shifted a tree branch with my foot when I noticed something dark and round slowly coming up to the surface. I got the shock of my life when a Dalek head bobbed up right in front of me.

"It must have been down there for some time because it was covered in mould and water weed, and had quite a bit of damage. One of the dome lights was smashed, but the eye-stalk was intact and the head and neck stayed in one piece as I carefully lifted it out."

It’s probably a lost prop from when the BBC shot an episode of Doctor Who back in the 1980s: Link (Photo: Solent)
