Burger time! But not just any burger – try choosing from the Trojan Horse or Neil Armstrong burgers. Two graphic designers from France, Quentin and Thomas, started this random project one afternoon, after they decided to photograph one of their meals and put it online. “We were so bored of random food at lunch, so we started cooking together. It soon became a kind of ritual: improvising and experimenting new ways of cooking a burger,” – they say. Gradually it cought up and evolved into a website Fat & Furious Burger. If you dig deeper, you’ll notice that Quentin and Tomas’s burger art reflects recent events and everyday headlines. For example, to commemorate Neil Armstrong’s passing the duo created an all-white burger, floating in a sesame-seed galaxy and topped with coconut shavings. After the 50th anniversary of James Bond films they created a golden “My name is Bun, James Bun” burger. Check out more funny examples of burger art!

This girl ordered an unusual shot from the bar on a night out. The drink was then set alight with the idea that it should be drunk quickly. However, when she hesitated to drink the flaming shot, it accidentally spilled over her face while still burning.

Some people know what they want to do from an early age and focus on it relentlessly. Others reinvent themselves, changing careers and industries until they find something that works. Billionaire Mark Cuban struggled when he first started, writing in "How To Win At The Sport Of Business" that "when I got to Dallas, I was struggling — sleeping on the floor with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment." As a reminder that the path to success is not always linear, we've highlighted what Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and 17 other fascinating and successful people were doing at age 25.

David Ogle is a sculptor and installation artist who explores light and shapes in fleeting three dimensional form. For many of his installations, he uses fluorescent fishing line illuminated with ultraviolet rays to convey linear movement throughout a room or across a surface. Just as a light may bounce off of a wall and reflect at an angle, Ogle produces that natural motion with controllable and consistent materials, and the results are these visually vibrant, glowing blue structures that generate geometric shapes within a physical space.

From a young age, Shanghai-based artist Yang Yongliang has explored Chinese art and calligraphy, but, even with its thousands of years of history, he is concerned that these traditional art forms are moving towards extinction. However, the artist believes that there are ways to move this art culture into more modern times by using the newest technology and techniques and blending them with the old. He says, "As long as the characteristics don't change, the media you use to express the art doesn't matter."

Nature is one mysterious beast. When we capture photos like this my mind can't comprehend how insane nature truly is. These photos will blow your mind with beauty.

We all need quiet time, a few moments or hours away from the hustle and bustle of the world around us. The constant hum of the city, whether it’s thunderous car engines churning away, police sirens whizzing past or the jumbled din of a thousand conversations that pervade the sidewalks – sometimes, it can become just a little too much. Which is why we love the concept of a new photographic series titled ‘Silent World’ by travel photographers Lucie & Simon. They visited cities across China, US, France & Italy putting together these strangely tranquil and peaceful images. Through their travels, they’ve photographed a world where humans simply don’t exist. No zombie invasion like 28 Days Later, no tourists taking photos, no rude man pushing past you, no weary locals that have seen it all – just the city, alone and silent. A buzzing metropolis, reduced to a mere ghost town.

The last thing you’d associate with flower arrangements is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Skull & Crossbones and a brain bursting into bloom. But that’s exactly what you get in these extraordinary works of art by visionary Antoni Tudisco and his new series ”The Floral Project“. There’s more to flowering arranging than you’d imagine. The art itself dates back to ancient Egypt, it was there that they started to experiment with the concepts of form, space, texture, balance and colour. Since then it’s morphed into countless forms and styles around the world – not to mention a multi-million dollar industry. Still, they do say one of the keys to winning a girls heart is to bring her flowers, the question is ladies, would appreciate ones as awesome as these?

What would it be like if you fell asleep one night and, even though you tried with all your might, you just can't wake up? London-based photographer Simon Cheung visually expresses this idea in this set of surreal self-portraits. Cheung took up photography as a creative medium only last year, in April 2012, when he bought his very first DSLR. Inspired by My Modern Met favorites Alex Stoddard and Tim Walker, Cheung embarked on his own photographic journey.

The Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is a protected UNESCO world heritage site, but this park doesn’t need any tollbooths, rangers or even a tall, spiked fence. Why? Because it’s literally nothing but spiked fence. Tsingy is a 250-square-mile tiger trap made up of massive limestone obelisks riddled with jagged spears.

Their little girl is growing up fast. And it looked like Pink and her husband were beginning to feel the strain on Tuesday. The singer – whose real name is Alecia Moore – was spotted out in New York City with 21-month-old Willow Sage and struggled to carry the little girl for too long. The 33-year-old stepped out of a car with her 37-year-old spouse Carey Hart but handed over their daughter soon after they got walking along the street.

It may not seem like it's been that long, but The Strokes have been releasing albums for over a decade now (moment of silence for those reflecting on how they're as old as balls now). Since the release of their critically-acclaimed debut, Is This It, in 2001, the New York band has been bridging the coarse, unpolished sound of the garage band with the rock 'n roll aesthetics for some of the most accessible, guilt-free rock around. Four albums, a lengthy hiatus, and some solo projects later, The Strokes are back again with their fifth studio LP, Comedown Machine. As the dynamic of the band members has evolved over the years, so has their approach to music. But from the sound of their forthcoming album, officially out today, that isn't necessarily a negative thing. To pay tribute to the band's imminent comeback, we're counting down the 15 best songs by The Strokes.

Over their three studio albums, 18 singles, and various other productions and remixes, Daft Punk has helped shape the dance music scene while influencing producers outside of it. Whether it be their approach in building sounds or the funk they provide throughout their tracks, Daft Punk has crafted some choice cuts that itchy hip-hop producers have eagerly dissected. Whether it's the chants "Technologic" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" or adding drums to entire rhythms, here are the best ways that rap artists have approached Daft Punk tracks.

There is a lot of good music out there... and there is a lot of not so good music out there as well. It's a lot like finding a needle in a hay stack. You have to weave through a lot of the bad music in order to get to the good. Luckily for you, today I have done that for you already. Personally, as one who doesn't like electronic music that much, it was hard to find quality tracks. After some time searching, these tracks were the ones I found most compelling, based on originality, complexity, diversity, and structure. Let me introduce to you the best EDM songs I have found this week.

Spring is here but the snow storms have not slowed down. A storm that dumped over 15 inches of snow on parts of the Midwest continues to make its way east. Winter storm warnings and advisories have been issued as far east as Pennsylvania. The combination of spring and snow has led to some beautiful nature photos.

Wonderland. It was suppose to be the largest most expansive and ground-breaking theme park in Asia. Millions of tourists were expected to visit and experience the magic of what (initially at least) was heralded as “the greatest amusement park in the history of the world” But due to intense disagreements over the value of the land with local farmers & government officials, all funding for the project stopped in its tracks in 1998. Now it’s ruins form part of China’s ghostly rural landscape. It’s been left abandoned ever since.

One of the best known symbols of spring in Japan are the magnificent pink Japanese cherry trees, also called sakura. Starting in mid-March, the Internet is flooded with amazing pictures of all varieties of pink, blooming in parks and streets of different cities of Japan. The earliest city to blossom is Tokyo – this year its sakura trees are expected to be in full bloom by the end of March. Depending on a city, Japanese cherry trees may bloom even through May. As the official Japanese school year starts in April, the first day back at school or work after the holidays usually coincides with the blooming of the sakuras. You will always see many locals picnicking under the cherries every season – the tradition is called hanami, and dates back to the 8th century!

Often seen above mountains or hills, lenticular clouds are extraordinary clouds that, due to their smooth saucer-like shape, are often mistaken for UFOs. Lenticular clouds are formed when a current of moist air is forced upwards as it travels over a mountain, causing the moisture to condense and form a cloud. They can appear as if they're sitting stationary, hovering above our planet in an unusual fashion for hours or even days. That's because the flow of moist air continually resupplies the cloud from the windward side even as water evaporates and vanishes from the leeward side. Lenticular clouds are considered a rare sight, especially in areas where there are no mountains. When the sun sets, viewers are often treated with a spectacular display as the clouds are lit with brilliant colors, almost as if someone had painted the sky. As Adamus said about the photo above, “Surreal, otherworldly, foreboding...perhaps a once in a lifetime combination of colors, shapes and textures. This awesome lenticular cloud formation occurred at sunset over Oregon's Alvord Desert in late December, ahead of an impending storm."
