Ten of the Weirdest Looking Buildings in Sweden

Sweden is a lovely country. They’ve also given us modern design like no other country, although some of it stays in Sweden, like architecture, so you might not be familiar with some of the more distinctive buildings there. Emporia, a shopping facility in Malmo, can’t help but draw attention.

Emporia’s giant gold chasm is the second building on this list to be featured from the design studio at Wingårdhs. It is a bold design, with a long golden glass structure seemingly cut in two by a big chasm in the middle. As a shopping centre it certainly amazes and shocks. It is certainly not what you usually expect to see when you go shopping. It was built in 2012 and is part of a much larger urban planning project in Malmo. The project aims to regenerate part of the city and bring mixed development together, where commercial, business and residential can come together.

Ha! This is from a newspaper in Edmonton, AB, Canada. My girlfriend and I were cracking up reading this in the paper a few days ago.

Just like all the weird drug slang that anti-drug PSAs have, I'd be massively surprised if they could find someone who knew all of these, and even more surprised if they could find someone who used them.

I'm pretty sure these codes are only known by people who hang out in weird chatrooms and stuff...I've only heard of #3 (PIR = parent in room). #5: GYPO (get your pants off?) is not to be confused with GPOY (gratutious picture of yourself...used to caption a picture of someone/thing else that matches your personality/mood)

Lol, that's bs, as a teen, I've used, nor heard, any of those. It's called the news has to find some way to fill the tv space and columns in newspapers. and people buy into it. It's quite funny.
