This Car is Entirely Clad in Leather

Alex

A custom leather interior is nice, but one Russian oligarch decided to take it to the next level: he commissioned a car to be completely clad in leather, including the engine compartment.

According to English Russia:

In fact this was a Toyota Crown, but it is so heavily modified you can’t recognize it anymore.
The whole body is covered by Canadian buffalo leather, and inside there is Siberian weasel leather. Also sable fur is used to trim the seats. It’s being said that the sable fur is the most expensive fur in the world.


One Surprising Way A Cargo Ship can Sink: A Landslide Inside It

Alex

When you think of a landslide, chances are you're not thinking of a cargo ship sailing in the ocean. But that can happen ... and when it does, it can sink the ship.

Dave Petley of The Landslide Blog explains:

In each case, the motion and/or vibration of the ship has induced dynamic liquefaction, just as we see in slopes in susceptible materials when they are subjected to seismic accelerations. Once liquefaction has occurred the cargo starts to move with the rolling of the ship, potentially exacerbating the rolling motion, and creating a feedback loop that allows the situation to worsen. The cargo can drain whilst located on one side of the ship, inducing a permanent list. Once this has happened it is hard to correct the problem whilst at sea.

Mind-Bending Building-Size Geometric Optical Illusions by Mr. June

Alex

Many people paint buildings, but not like David Louf aka Mr. June. He paints mind-bending geometric artwork on buildings!

From Colossal:

Challenged by the existing architectural elements and obstacles, Louf likes to construct creations that will interact with their environment. He uses a laser liner to sketch up the main directional lines. Then he paints his abstract designs in an almost organic way, typically filling the entire side of whatever structure he is working on. “I always hope I can create a moment of awareness,” Louf tells Colossal. “Awareness of the viewer at that spot at that moment.”

It's no mystery that people love chocolate and English actor Benedict Cumberbatch, so I suppose it's only elementary, my dear reader, that someone would put the two together. Behold, the Chocolate Cumberbunny by the Chocolatician!

Weather Reporter Knocked Man Into the River

Alex

Forget that boring ol' green screen! To capture today's fickle TV viewers, news channels need a new and exciting way to broadcast their weather report. Say, with a floating map shaped like the British isles.

Watch what happened when ITV brought British television personality Alison Hammond to present the weather forecast straight from a Liverpool dock, with the help of two hunky sailors ...

All weather reports should be as fun as this!

Lonely Dolphin Abandoned in a Japanese Aquarium That Closed Down Months Ago

Alex

When the Inubosaki Marine Park Aquarium in Japan closed down for business, a bunch of animals - including a dolphin and dozens of penguins - locked inside the abandoned facility.

Oddity Central has the story:

Although someone has reportedly been feeding them regularly, animal activists claim that Honey the dolphin is showing signs of stress due to loneliness and suffered serious sunburns this summer, while the penguins are living in crumbling pens, among debris. Park representatives could not be contacted about the situation and local authorities claim that their hands are tied.
Photos and videos taken by activists from a group called Put An End to Animal Cruelty and Exploitation (PEACE) show honey floating all alone in a small pool inside the abandoned water park, and dust-covered penguins perched on a crumbling structure. Hundreds of fish and reptiles are reportedly also locked inside the Inubosaki Marine Park Aquarium, and no one knows if or when they will be transferred to a facility where they can be properly taken care of.
