Whether you believe in recycling or not, these NES controller modifications will make you desperately long for one too. Some are cheesy, others are pure genius which begs the question, if you had an old NES controller laying around, what would you turn it into?

(No Ratings Yet)A Japanese photographer has captured some amazing photographs featuring ‘Snow Monsters of Japan’ which are formed from rime ice. Rime ice forms when the water droplets in fog freeze to the outer surfaces of objects.
The ghostly trees are a fantastic sight and are a celebrated attraction in the mountain areas of northern Japan. The ‘Snow Monsters of Japan’ are called juhyou, which means frost-covered trees.
There are a million ways to say you’re sorry, but it’s definitely more heartfelt when put on a cake. Even if the message is a little less than appetizing.
(No Ratings Yet)This is a small collection of some of my photo manipulated caricatures of President Barack Obama in some funny situations. Just a little friendly political satire.
Isaac Salazar makes this crazy pieces of “Book Origami”.
“I see my work as a way to display a meaningful piece of art onto a book that would otherwise sit on a shelf and collect dust; it’s also my way of recycling a book that might otherwise end up in a landfill. The words or symbols I use are drawn from anything that invokes inspiration or encouragement, such as “Read”, “Dream” and the Recycle symbol. If my work also makes people look at a book and even art in a new light then the piece has done its job“.

(No Ratings Yet)These are the world’s most amazing and unusual hotels. Each hotel has an exclusive design and is built for particular groups of guests.
Dog Bark Park Inn
This hotel is built in the shape of a beagle. The interior is also decorated with dogs.
The Inntel Hotel
Each hotel looks like a puzzle of small houses placed on the top of each other. The design was developed by WAM Architecten Company. The largest hotel in this hotel chain is 11-story building with 160 rooms.
Hamster Hotel
It seems that this French hotel was built for a huge hamster. For 99 euros per night each person can feel what it is like to be a hamster. Hotel guests can even run on the big hamster wheel.
V8 Hotel
This is an interesting hotel located in Germany. It is a real paradise for car enthusiasts because all beds, tables and rooms are automotive-themed.
Tianzi Hotel
This Chinese style 10-story hotel was built in 2001. It looks more like giant sculptures. No wonder this hotel is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the “biggest image building”.
Corona Save the Beach Hotel
This hotel designed by German architect HA Schult is located in Italy. It is made out of 12 tons of garbage found on European beaches. It features five rooms and reception.
Nhow Berlin
The ceiling and walls of this hotel are decorated with guitars and other musical instuments and equipment. The designers assure that the whole building is supposed to remind musical abstraction.
9h Hotel
This is the first capsule hotel built in Japan in 1979. It doesn’t have rooms. It has only capsules.
Pavillon des Lettres Hotel
This is the world’s first hotel designed for art and literature lovers. It is located in France. The walls of each hotel room provide good sound insulation for guests to read books in complete silence.
The Salt Hotel
Such hotels now appear in different countries around the world. But the Salt Hotel is the only hotel in the world built completely out of salt (salt bricks, salt roof, salt floor, etc.). It is located on the east coast of the famous Salt Flats in Bolivia.
(No Ratings Yet)Why just watch the movie, when you could stay at the real-life TRON Legacy ice hotel room in Sweden. According to Disney, this masterpiece was the work of designers Ben Rousseau and Ian Douglas-Jones.
The suite is called The Legacy of the River – a suite inspired by the forthcoming sequel to Tron and it’s certain that you’ll be rocking to Daft Punk while you’re staying there. It also is a fitting celebration for the ICEHOTEL‘s 20th anniversary.
(No Ratings Yet)Parkour is a global urban movement that has taken over the internet by storm. Incredibly acrobatic people from all over the world push their bodies to the limit, jumping up walls and off rooftops. Their goal is to move from one point to another as quickly and efficiently as possible. Through these fluid movements, this special group has created an art form. Although they are fearless and superhuman, they are also graceful and skilled.
London-based photographer Jonathan Lucas captures the best Parkour shots I’ve ever seen. The way he is able to freeze time and capture the action is unbelievably amazing.
(No Ratings Yet)According to the description that comes with this very interesting series of images, they depict a village located in Afghanistan. The images show a small town, complete with dwellings, stairways, paths and walk bridges, that has apparently been carved out of strange cone-shaped natural formations nestled on a hillside.

(No Ratings Yet)All these portraits are made out of collected junk and found objects. Zac Freeman glues the bits of junk to a wooden substrate to form an image, which only can be seen at a distance.
Amazing art made of super glue, extra remotes, buttons, paper clips etc. One man’s Garbage is another man’s Treasure I guess.
(No Ratings Yet)These photos are from Inventionland in Pittsburgh. This place is the world’s largest invention warehouse. If you can think it, these guys can build it. I guess they specialize in ‘dream offices’. If you want to work on a pirate ship, for example, they can make that happen.
These schools have some very funny names. Some can’t be helped because they just happen to be named after someone who just happens to have a humorous last name. But the other names are so ridiculously funny that someone should have known better.
