Astonished divers come across a massive jellyfish off the coast of England. If there's still a place for giants on this planet, it's in the depths of the seemingly endless ocean.
Even there, humans occasionally bump into a behemoth. Like this barrel jellyfish. Despite packing stingers on each of its eight tentacles, the jellyfish didn't seem to mind the company.

Park your car near the sidewalk and go visit this unique, one story red house that looks like an ordinary log cabin, but is actually made of paper. The paper house began in 1922 when Elis Stenman, a mechanical engineer, began building a small summer home. It started out like any other home, with a timber frame, shingle roof and floors, but when it came to the walls, Stenman had different ideas. The walls of the Paper House is made up of layers upon layers of old newspapers, glued together until they are about an inch thick, then finished off with a nice coat of varnish. Everything inside the paper house is also made of paper. Photo credit: Danielle Walquist Lynch/Flickr No one is sure what motivated Stenman to use newspapers. After Stenman’s death in 1942, the house was turned into a museum. Photo credit: Casey Bisson/Flickr. Sigiriya: The Lion Rock of Sri Lanka. Deep in the middle of Sri Lanka, a massive column of rock juts out from the green tropical forest.
It reaches 660 feet tall and features frescoes, graffiti, and landscaped gardens. The rock is known as Sigiriya (see-gee-REE-yah) and holds a special place in the island’s cultural history. It was established as the stronghold of a rogue king over 1,500 years ago, and today the Sigiriya complex stands as one of the earliest preserved examples of ancient urban planning.
Ultimately the rock was unable to save its king, but it succeeded in preserving ancient Sinhalese culture. Geography Sri Lanka lies just off the southeastern coast of India, a small island about the size of West Virginia (or a tad smaller than Austria or Scotland for European readers).
