World's Largest Tree House Stands 10-Stories Tall

A Restaurant Built on a Volcano Uses it For Cooking (Video) Goforchris/CC BY-ND 2.0 Operating a restaurant on a volcano sounds like an insane thing to do, but that's what local notable architect Cesar Manrique has been doing with El Diablo, a restaurant that's been in business -- cooking food using volcanic heat -- since 1970.

A Restaurant Built on a Volcano Uses it For Cooking (Video)

Located in Timanfaya National Park, on Lanzarote, a Spanish island northwest of Morocco, the restaurant's main draw is its volcanic cooking, on a large grill that uses the heat of the volcano to cook meat and fish for its patrons. Thankfully, it's not the type of active volcano with lava flows oozing out; rather, it's dormant, but the smoldering heat from deep within the earth is still enough to cook food.

His Garnier limb -invented in collaboration with other enthusiasts as an open source project- holds up to 8,000 pounds and allows treehouse builders to create stronger, more durable dwellings in the trees. When Garnier, who owns a treehouse resort with 9 elevated dwellings, decided to build his own home for himself and his wife Peggy, it had to also be nestled in the branches.

While his B&B cabins in the air are closer to 100 square feet, for his own home he decided to go big. His home is 1800 square feet on three floors. He calls it the world’s largest treehouse (not a fact, though he challenges anyone to prove him wrong). He selected a spot in the middle of a grove of White Oak trees and used 7 trees to support the weight of his home (the largest one in the middle of the home is no longer living, but he manufactured a root system for it so it would still support the weight of a living tree). Abandoned Mega-Machines. Mega-machines are quite simply the largest man-made mechanical objects ever built, designed to carry out tasks that even a century ago would have seemed like fantasy. From ferrying hundreds or thousands of passengers and cargo by air and sea, clearing thousands of tons of earth with apparent ease, or transporting vast payloads bound for space, mega-machines have redefined the course of modern industry.

But when they become surplus to requirements, removing their immense bulk swiftly from the landscape becomes a task almost as challenging as their inception. Many thus remain abandoned for years, as illustrated by these six varied examples from around the world. {*style:<b> We’ve seen mighty 747s converted into backpacker hostels and even houses , but this dejected Jumbo Jet in Namyangju-Si near Seoul, South Korea, was probably the only one to become a restaurant. {*style:<b> To many, the SS America was the most beautiful liner to fly the American flag.

12 One-Year Personal Stunts We Can't Stop Talking About

The No Impact Man movie poster. Call them New Year's resolutions on steroids: The past few years have seen a variety of people publicly pledge to spend 365 days living a more environmentally friendly life, whether by eating locally, eschewing plastic, making one small change a day, or giving up money altogether. Often snapped up eagerly by the media, such initiatives have also been criticized as attention-seeking green stunts that don't make a difference. And while it's true that going a year without toilet paper won't stop global warming, it will get a lot of people talking about environmental issues -- and that just might bring about the change we need.
