Scottish artist Tristan Cochrane spent twelve years in the fishing industry, and the industry is still in him. He makes household items in the shape of sea creatures, such as this rocking chair. It's made of aluminum formed in wax molds.

Douglas Adams noted:

It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the phrase, 'as pretty as an airport.' Airports are ugly. Some are very ugly. Some attain a degree of ugliness that can only be the result of a special effort.

The effort put into this gate at Taiwan's largest airport was worth the result.

At the Mahika Mano cafe in Tokyo, chairs are out and hammocks are in. This business hosts a showroom for a hammock retailer, so you sway a bit as you hold a hot cup of coffee.

I have given a name to my mane, and it is Batman. Master hairdresser Radames Perez carved this image into the head of this unidentified, luckiest child in the world.

It's not healthy to eat nothing but candy at Easter. Or any other time, for that matter. You need something more substantial, like a nice egg salad sandwich. Serious Eats has got you covered with a recipe that uses Cadbury's famous creme eggs, coconut shavings and pound cake.

Well, I couldn't, but I'm not so young anymore. Other people, however, have run -- not just walk, but run -- marathons with little or no training specifically for that grueling race. BBC News Magazine talked to runners and doctors about this challenge:

Typically, those signing up commit to long periods of meticulous planning, a careful diet and a regimented programme of progressively longer runs.

And yet those limbering up for the London Marathon on 22 April can be forgiven for feeling galled by Irish pop singers Jedward - aka John and Edward Grimes - who claim to have completed the Los Angeles marathon on a whim, straight off a flight and with no training.

Such an accomplishment flies in the face of all the advice offered by the medical world and the running community alike.

If you had to run a marathon tomorrow, could you do it?

Nike has a great Easter craft for us to try. She prepared gelatin in different colors and poured it, in layers, into egg molds. These beautiful snacks were the result. Read her instructions at the link.

This amazing picture by Cuban artist Yoan Capote looks like a black and white photo, but the ragged-looking surface is actually made out of half a million fish hooks. Capote and thirty assistants spent six months nailing them into place on plywood. Don't touch them! The barbs are exposed. That's because Capote wants observers to experience the "sensorial power and aggressiveness of the objects in its sculpture condition."

Whenever I take my kids to the zoo, I have to pick them up so that they can get good views of the animals. Maybe that's what this mother gray whale is doing by pushing her baby up to the boat full of friendly, curious humans off of Baja California.

What do they mean? There are many translations going around the Internet -- assuming that the pictures are real and that's actually Hebrew. You can find them at the link. Offer your own interpretations in the comments, because this 3PO-series droid isn't helping me one bit.

Redditor Matt872000 writes "Me, in Korea, and a friend, in Canada, just made an Earth Sandwich." Very good! It'll have a nice crunchy texture. Of course, the contents are off center and will slide out with the first bite. Ideally, he needed a friend in Arachania, Uruguay.

No, it's not colored in. But that's a good thing, or else the awesomeness would be too much to mentally process. Comic book artist Darick Robertson gave this image to writer Larry Young. Young passed it on to his young son in a sweet and touching conversation, which you can read at the link.

Now in all seriousness, Superman will obviously prevail in this fight. But what about a Superman vs. Darth Vader match up? That would be a great crossover!

Have you ever been offered a lot to drink and afterward found yourself contending with Pharaoh?

If you know what I mean.

No, you don't? Well, that was one of Benjamin Franklin's 220 euphemisms for being drunk. He published a list of them in 1737. Here's Keith Habersberger of the comedy team I Made America playing the role of Benjamin Franklin. It's one of many videos by the troupe about six Founding Fathers kidnapped by time travelers and abandoned in Chicago in 2012.

This beautiful, bittersweet love story is the most touching thing you'll see all day. It uses no words. But it doesn't need them.

Love, like everything else in life, can be messy. The pendulum in the clock keeps swinging anyway. You can't stop it.

Charon will require more than a single coin for this ride. Rolls Royce will soon offer a hearse based on its Phantom model. The 23-foot aluminum car debuted at a recent funeral home expo in Bologna, Italy.
