Model of Herod's Temple by Alec Garrard | Oddity Central - Collecting Oddities
Alec Garrard, an 80-year-old retired farmer from Norfolk, England, has spent the last thirty years working on a 1:100 scale model of Herod’s Biblical Temple . Mr. Garrard has liked creating models all his life, but as he was getting older, he began thinking about a single big project that would see him through to the end of his life. Having always been interested in architecture and religion, the retired farmer thought to combine his two passions and create a unique scale model of Herod’s Temple. He had seen one or two other models of the structure during Biblical exhibitions, but he didn’t find them accurate enough, and he knew he could do better. The expert model-maker started working on the project when he was in his 40′s.
Hay-on-Wye - The Town of Books | Oddity Central - Collecting Oddities
Home to the largest secondhand bookstore in the world, Hay-on-Wye is more than just a little town on the border between England and Wales, it’s book heaven on Earth. The history of Hay-on-Wye as the “town of books” began on Fools’ Day of 1977, when during a bold publicity stunt , bibliophile Richard Booth announced the independence of Hay-on-Wye as a kingdom of books, with him as the monarch. Ambassadors were sent to the International Court of Justice, in Hague, and a rowing gunboat started patrolling on the river Wye.Nazi UFO - Cetin BAL - GSM:+90 05366063183 - Turkey/Denizli
The existence of World War Two German field propulsion flying saucers is a topic which is denied by virtually every reputable authority in aviation history. It is also denied by many researchers studying German saucers. The problem is that in the years immediately following the Second World War the earth's skies suddenly began to be populated by flying craft which did some remarkable things. They flew at unheard of speeds. They made very sharp turns, seemingly non-aerodynamic turns, even at this extreme speed.

Comic # 400 ?? How the... I guess if you only consider the "good" comics then I'm actually on Comic # 7. I don't think I did a shout out to The Nerdvana yet (it's listed in the math comic list over at the sidebar though).
Meltdown at Google Earth: New 3D function goes awry as bridges flop like Salvador Dali paintings | Mail Online
Technicians have added elevation to the Google Earth tool but due to glitches the change had a bizarre effect on some of the world’s most famous roads and bridges. In other cases, bridges no longer go over ravines - instead they roll down the sides and go along the bottom before coming back up the other cliff face. The most striking is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco which has been flattened out - including the cars driving over it - and apparently nailed to the water’s surface. Big dipper: The Fred G. Redmon Bridge in Selah, Washington State could do with some strengthening
After deadly violence erupted during protests in Tahrir Square, Egypt last year, leaving 50 protestors dead, the military ordered walls be built around the heart of where the political activities occurred. Now Downtown Cairo locals must wander through a maze of barriers just to get around their own neighborhoods. To fight the barriers, Egyptian graffiti artists arranged a “No Walls” protest where they painted the walls with murals depicting the street hidden behind the blockades. Almost every wall in the area was painted with a mural like this one. Flickr user Mosa’aberising took photos of an achievement that took the dedicated artists over three days to complete.
