This Building Looks Like a Drill Bit - Neatorama

(Photo: Essence of Dilmunia)

This will happen to you if the chuck on your drill isn't tight. Your bit will remain stuck in the material you were trying to bore through.

This photo shows the recently completed United Tower, a 50-storey structure on the coast of Bahrain. It will soon house a 5-star hotel, among other businesses, in a wealthy area of that Gulf state. The external structure rests on an octagonal base and creates the impression that it rotates counterclockwise a full 360º.

Reminds me of the Chicago Spire. I was so disappointed that was never finished.

I love globes! I saw one the other day that was like beach ball and want to buy it for my baby girl so she can learn and play.

Very good, I saw it yesterday on Discovery.

Every time I see a globe in a science-shop, antique-shop, or discount-home-store, I notice that it is either north-pole down or a slight movement from its precarious balance causes gravity to take it north-pole down. I find this aesthetically unpleasing, because I would like a globe that has its text upright in its at-rest position, and one that will stay in whatever position I leave it in.
I cannot understand why this is so.

I <3 that show. Also, unless the narrator has changed, I'm pretty sure that's the Canadian version. The U.S. version has a male narrator, and each show focuses on manufacturers located in their respective countries.
