Theirs was a forbidden love, separated by the speciesist rules of society and a glass wall. It was not to be.
It's for the best, pup. She was totally friendzoning you.

For some people, time spent not straddling a motorcycle is time wasted. If that's your lifestyle, then the new NE Apartment complex in Tokyo is perfect for you. It's designed to provide garage space in each apartment as well as other amenities a motorcyclist would appreciate:
Residents of this three-story Japanese apartment complex can revel not only in the ample room for their bikes to roam, which even allows enough space for a full rotation, but the innovative architectural design that gives the sense of a larger living space.

A falling domino releases enough stored energy to tip over another domino about 50% larger than itself. Dr. Stephen W. Morris of the University of Toronto illustrates this by using a 5 millimeter high domino to knock over a 1 meter high domino.
There are 13 dominoes in Dr. Morris's line. If he had 29 dominoes, the last one would be as tall as the Empire State Building.

It was 1979. Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger was unavailable to help create the movie Alien. But Lisa Frank, maker of bright, cheery stickers and school supplies for tween girls, was. That is the disturbing alternate history imagined by deviantART member GalenaLarkin.

Let's keep up the pace, humanity. Other animals are starting to catch up:
Scientists trained three American black bears (Ursus Americanus) to discriminate between groups of dots on a touchscreen computer: Two bears learned to pick the group with fewer dots, while the third learned to choose the group with more dots. In some trials, the group with fewer dots took up more space; in others, the dots moved. All three bears could use the number of dots to guide their choices, but the bear trained to pick groups with more dots performed better on its tests and could also discriminate with moving dots, researchers report online this month in the journal Animal Behaviour. Overall, the bears' performance matched those of monkeys in previous studies, suggesting that animals can evolve impressive cognitive abilities without living in large social groups.
Next, they'll probably learn how to make and use fire.

Taiwanese artist Chen Chun-Hao doesn't use a brush or a pen, but a nail gun. He drives hundreds of thousands of nails into boards to recreate masterpieces by Chinese masters. By varying the size, depth and placement of the nails, he makes finely-detailed pointillistic images. View more photos of his work at the link.
