Berlin-based designer Sarah Illenberger has started an awesme new project called Strange Fruits (sort of like the song from the 30s). She turns ordinary fruits into fun works of art that can be bought as large prints online.

These would make wonderful kitchen art!

In a bay on the northern shores of the Black Sea, the Soviet army maintained an elaborate submarine base throughout much of the Cold War.  Now a museum, this abandoned submarine base in the town of Balaklava, Ukraine is often explored by locals and tourists alike.  During the war, Soviet submarines were constructed elsewhere, transported to this base by rail, then deployed into the Black Sea and beyond for covert underwater operations.  The tunnels of the submarine base reached far and deep into the mountain above, providing enough room for many submarines and their crew up through the end of the Cold War.

If you think your name sucks, you'd beter take a second look at these poor people. 

With a name like this, you'd better hurry up and get married (in hopes that your new partner's name ain't as terrible as yours!) Another funny thing that people don't know about names is that Jon Boehner's name should acually be pronounced "bohner." He just has really good PR people who made sure we pronounce it the un-German way ;)

Skater kid's little bros and sisters are in luck if their parent's get to see this post! Big Timmy has probably been through several board that just aren't "cool enough" anymore, and now you can take those babies out of storage to make awesome swings for the little guys! The boards are made to endure all kinds of pressure, so 70 lbs of child swinging probably won't be doing much damage to the wood anyway. 

Perfect for Spring, better hurry up now before your neighbors figure it out and look cooler than you :)

With no real help to turn to besides your local shrink, this generation is sure going to be a lonely one.

The famous advice columnist behind the much adored "Dead Abby" stories has passed away at age 94. 

After 50 years of giving advice to women in distress, we've all gotten used to the idea of leaning on someone. Now that both of the advice twins are up in heaven, what are the rest of us supposed to do? Those other columnists never seem to have anything witty to say or any real usable advice! Looks like we're at a loss now, at east until she get reincarnated (hopefully into something/someone useful).

If you are jealous of the way your pets always seem to be healthy while you suffer in bed with the flu, the cold, or some other annoying virus, then you're in luck! Read up on how to stay healthy the way your pooch always is when he wakes you up with that lick on your face in the morning. This is also great for not catchng that flu that's been making its way through the heart of America. 

With all of this noise about gun control and school shootings and hoaxes, some parents thought it was a good idea to show some pictures of their little tykes ready for battle. 

Is this too much?

You know, maybe we should let the south secede, just to see how long it takes them to blow themselves up. 

Poor kids. 

This 1963 fashion series by Melvin Sokolsky for Harper's Bazaar magazine is one for the books. To create the iconic "Bubble" images, model Simone d'Aillencourt had to climb into a plexiglass ball that was actually suspended in the air by a cable and crane.

“The bubble in the series is made of Plastivew and is composed of two hemispheres with a 1/8-inch crack to allow for breathing room. Then the bubble was hung from a very thin, but strong cable. (It could have also held up a Cadillac!) This was probably one of the easiest shoots I’ve ever done in my life because there were no hair or makeup interruptions. No one could touch her in the bubble—so it was just her and I creating the images.” — Melvin Sokolosky

People underestimate the potential of their fuzzy compadres. Though not your typical portrait study models, these lovely creatures can make that photograph say a thousand words. If you're into photography, try using a dog or cat as your model for your next project. You never know what you can get.

After just 4 years in office, but many more in politics, Barack Obama has been displaying all the classic signs of stress: his hair has become grayer than ever, the wrinkles above his brow are prominent, the plumpness of his cheeks has melted and become more like a set of flaps than a smile bump. It's tough tobe Barack, especially with a country as divided as ours about certin key issues regarding foreign policy (as we know not his strongest suit). 

Us humans savor our shower time. And though our pets seem to hate it, out in nature it's a holy time for creatures to get the sun off their scorching bodies & let a little relaxation take place. 

Only a few miles away from where Thomas Frye first developed the composition for bone china in 1748, a new tribute to the porcelain material is on display at Hackney's Wilton Way Cafe. The East London coffee shop & gallery is currently displaying a collection of bone china "diamond" rings, crafted by local designer Moko Sellars. The designer began creating jewelry only last year as a excercise in considered design. Would you wear these or just use as home decor?

Isn't it maddening when you watch a movie and then you are left thinking about it days, even weeks later? Drives me insane! What about Inception!? Is it real? Did Cobb return to his family? Did he die? UGH! We'll never know. Here are a couple movies that left you pissed off at the end because you don't know what happens next, but also brilliantly stunned.

When it's time to get your accessorizing on, what better way than with the details that no woman can miss. Cufflinks are something many men put off out of pure laziness. But a pair like these will catch the eye of any woman worth your 10 minute smoking break. 

When it comes to plugging your music device into your dad's old speaker set, you don't look as cool as you did in the 90s. These days there are all kinds of seriously groovy speakers out there that will impress everyone from Tough Tommy to Sexy Sarah from next door. 

32 year old money lender, Datta Phuge from Pimpri-Chinchwad has a little bit of an obsession with gold. He commissioned a team a 15 goldsmiths to create a solid gold shirt, in the hopes of attracting a female. The goldsmiths spent 16 hours a day for two weeks creating and weaving the gold threads. Maybe he just needs to shave?
