The Jelly-fish


It’s a home that floats! Up to six people can live in it. There are five levels, both above and below water level. Equipped with electrical generator and water storage. It can be yours for only $2.5 million! http://www.sub-find.com/jellyfish.htm -via Metafilter

Daisy’s Bone


A tiny dachshund named Daisy found a bone while strolling along the shore in Dunwich, England. But this was no ordinary dog bone -it was a fossilized thighbone of a mammoth! The bone, which is as big as Daisy, could be 2 million years old. Link -via Fark

The Flo Control Project


Boris Tsikanovsky had a cat named Flo, who sometimes brought prey into the house. To stop this, he rigged up a Practical Image Recognition System. A profile image is taken as soon as the cat begins to enter. If the image is not the cat’s normal recognizable profile, the cat door will not open. So if the cat is carrying something in her mouth, she cannot come in the house! This system also keeps other critters from entering. The explanation is a bit technical, but the pictures tell the story. You can also track the activities of his current cats, Squirrel and Alexia, at the “Flo Watch” page. Link -via Reddit

Hanging Monasteries of the World


If you really want to retire from the world, live in a really inaccessable place! Dark Roasted Blend takes a pictorial tour of four monasteries built on top, clinging to the side of, or inside mountains. This one is Sigiriya, in Sri Lanka. Link

Presidential Grandson

John Tyler {wiki} was the tenth president of the United States, serving in office from 1841 to 1845. In 1853, at age 63, he fathered a son named Lyon Tyler. At age 75, Lyon Tyler fathered Harrison Tyler {wiki}, who was born in 1928. Therefore, the grandson of a US president born in 1790 is still alive today. Bob Peck contributed this fact to a presidential trivia contest at mental_floss and won a book about US presidents. See, sometimes it pays to know trivia! Link

World War II-Themed Wedding

Jo Rowell and Tony Cox of Hartlepool, England were married recently in style -1940s style!
A blackout marked the beginning of the ceremony and the silence was broken by the sounds of Neville Chamberlain announcing war on Germany.

The ceremony also included the sounds of sirens and Lancaster bombers flying overhead.

Spotlights lit up a trench scene in Normandy complete with a silhouette of an American soldier going over the top and glider planes above.

Jo then made an entrance to the sound of Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade and the touching ceremony went off without a hitch.

Lollipops


Artist Craig Robinson began making this type of illustration as advertising for a British music magazine years ago. He now exhibits a collection of them. See if you can guess the bands represented by these Lollipops. If you can’t, mouseover the images for the name. The Lollipops shown here should be pretty easy. Link -via the Presurfer

Chocolate as Medicine
