What a place this must be to visit.

Waters, containing mainly calcium salts and carbon-dioxide, run off the plateau's by depositing calcium while carbon-dioxide disappearing. The marvelous landscape of Pamukkale has been created by this gradual formation, leaving a cotton-like image. Located above the theatre of Hierapolis, the mineral water sources from the thermal springs of Cal Mountain. clipped from www.mdolla.comclipped from www.kusadasi.biz |

Crazy People Who Clothe Themselves In Bees For Hoots!
Though bee bearding is by no means a recent activity, it has rarely made it to a dictionary entry. Wikipedia defines bee bearding as “the practice of wearing several hundred thousand honey bees on one’s face, usually as a sideshow-type activity.
It’s no wonder that the Guinness Book of Records has kept a category of “most pounds of bees worn on the body.” The bees are weighed rather than counted because depending on the honey bee strain, their weight can differ considerably.

Stunning Images of Solar Flares
Solar flares are like the Sun’s equivalents of Earth’s natural hazards, though of course they occur on a much larger scale. It would be nice to say such phenomena have minimal impact on the environment or life on Earth, but solar flares do strongly influence our local space weather, and produce streams of highly energetic particles in solar wind that can pose radiation risks to astronauts. Who knows what a biggie could do? While we wait for the answer, trying not to put the words “mass” and extinction” together, don your protective glasses and prepare for some dazzling images of solar eruptions – like the limb flare above.

Unique and Strange Staplers
A Scottie Dog stapler. Why? Because the stapler company was out of ideas. An antique stapler. Look at that craftsmanship. A purple pac-man looking stapler. A Hello Kitty stapler. Why? Because it is on everything else, why not a stapler. That's why. A freaking sweet shark stapler. A rainbow trout stapler. Sworn enemy of the shark stapler (above). A stapler/calculator/tape measure
Some little weird dude staplers, with what look like capes or tails as the stapler head. A killer rabbit stapler. A frog on a piece of wood stapler.
An alligator stapler. A see through electric stapler. A staple-less stapler for kids. It punches a hole in the paper, and folds a piece of paper through the hole, stitching the pieces together. cat on a pillow stapler Another antique stapler. Looks sort of like a torture device. |
20 Amazing Examples of Conformal Photography. How do they do this?
Definition for Conformal Mapping from Wikipedia: “(mathematics) A mapping, between points of one coordinate system and another, in which the angles of intersection between pairs of curves are preserved”. (I am still none the wiser!)
