When the world needs a saving, you can be sure you need the power of superheroes around, and it helps greatly if the alphas come looking the part. And by looking the part, we mean have big, flowing beards. They are the heroes the world deserves, and needs, and probably when they get beards, they will learn to put on underwear the right way. The illustrations are the work of artist Vanja Mrgan.
So the Chinese newspaper People’s Daily is getting itself a new headquarter, and big skyscraper to go with it. The problem is, the skyscraper looks like a giant penis. The 150 meter high building is not completed yet, and once complete will give up its phallic resemblance.
Mikko Kuorinki had the project “Wall Piece with 200 Letters” running from March 2010 until February 2011 at the Kiasma museum, with words being changed every week. It is pretty self descriptive, where the artist used a maximum of 200 letters to present these quotes from various sources. We like the simplicity, and we like how good this looks.

Taste buds love a new treat every so often, and when it comes wrapped into two well known foods, it can be either very palatable or a disaster. Thankfully though, the Ice Cream Bread looks more like the former, and we could always try our hand at the ice cream bread with more ice cream. How awesome would that be? Very. Redditor airforcehusband tried a hand at the ice cream bread, and apparently the results have been favorable. Given the recipe is easy enough, it looks worthy of at least a try, if only for the glory of an ice cream bread.
High speed photography has brought us the goodness of things we saw everyday, but never actually noticed. Belgium-based photographer Manon Wethly created her project Flying Stuff. To strip it to the crude details, the project involves throwing liquids, and photographing the effect. Of course, that is easier said than done, but the photographing patterns the liquids form would be rewarding enough by way of satisfaction.

Over the years, Chamu has undergone 30 plastic surgeries at an expense of 10 million yen ($100,000) to look more like a porcelain French doll.
