Any size hot dog can be a bun-length hot dog when you spiral-cut them! Instructables member dreamberry shows us how, using a drill bit and a knife. Commenters suggested using a bamboo skewer instead of a drill bit, so you can boil, grill, or deep-fry the dog in no time. Link -via Laughing Squid
PS: Once you master the technique, you’ll want to try the double-spiral cut. Link

Chan Hwee Chong made this and other single line drawings, all in spirals, for a Faber Castell ad campaign. At the link, you can watch a video showing how he does it. It’s amazing.
Last night a strange spiral lit up the sky over Norway, from Trøndelag to Finnmark, and many people took pictures.
The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate.
Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre – lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.
Russia denied any missile tests in the area. Link to story. Link to photo gallery. -via Metafilter

There is something mysterious and intriguing about spiral staircases. Atlas Obscura looks at some of the most magnificent spiral staircases in the world, with lovely pictures and facts you might not know. For example, the staircase at the Vatican Museum, pictured here, is actually a double helix, with one staircase going up and the other coming down. Link -via Curious Expeditions
