Adolf Hitler was a racist, a vegetarian, a mustache man, a megalomaniac, a schizophrenic, a narcissist, a man suffering from syphilis, allegedly had monorchism, and possibly having Asperger syndrome. A perfect Übermensch and well adjust German citizen of his time...
For the Ga tribe in coastal Republic of Ghana, funerals are a time of mourning, but also of celebration. The Ga citizenry believe that when their loved ones die, they move on into some other life -- and the Ga make sure they do so in style. They honor their dead with brightly colored coffins that celebrate the way they lived.
The coffins are designed to represent an aspect of the dead person's life -- such as a car if they were a driver, a fish if their livelihood was the sea -- or a sewing machine for a seamstress. They might also represent a vice -- such as a bottle of beer or a cigaret...

This is one of the coolest robots I've ever seen. RIBA — short for “Robot for Interactive Body Assistance” — was developed by researchers at Japan’s Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) and Tokai Rubber Industries. Designed primarily to assist nurses by lifting patients in and out of their beds and wheelchairs (as well as on and off the toilet), the 400 pound (180kg) robot can safely pick up and carry people weighing as much as 135 pounds (61 kgs).
The robotic bear has long, multi-jointed arms embedded with an array of tactile sensors that help it optimize the lifting and carrying of humans. For safety purposes, RIBA’s entire body is covered in a soft skin molded from an advanced lightweight urethane foam, which is designed to ensure the comfort of patients. In addition, the robotic bear can also recognize faces and voices, as well as respond to spoken commands. Using visual and audio data from its surroundings, RIBA can identify co-workers, determine the position of those nearby, and respond flexibly to changes in the immediate environment...
Beautiful yet haunting all at the same time, photographer Erin Mulvehill's underwater series is like nothing I've ever seen. As I look through each picture I'm frightened yet captivated. As one person states, "A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into."
"My work aims to explore the human connections and subtle nuances that whisper into the ear of our every day. Much of my work is rooted in the ideas of mind, body, seamlessness and time. This is largely because my deepest beliefs lie in the principles of buddhism, the integration of art and life..."
Tao Xiangli, a 34-year-old amateur inventor from China, spent two years building a fully-functional homemade submarine.
Tao is not the first person to build a homemade submarine, but that doesn’t make his achievement any less impressive. Especially since he did it using oil barrels and tools purchased from a second-hand market.
After two years of hard work and testing, on September 3, young Tao Xiangli presented his invention to the world and took it for a test dive in a lake just outside Beijing. His homemade submarine features a periscope, electric motors, a manometer, two propellers, depth-control tanks and it only cost $4,385 to make...
New York sculptor Thomas Doyle works in miniature, creating detailed scenes capturing specific moments in his tiny people’s lives. Some of these moments are rather mundane, while others are epically dramatic. What all these sculptures share however, is best put in Doyle’s words:
The pieces’ radically reduced scales evoke feelings of omnipotence—as well as the visceral sensation of unbidden memory recall. Hovering above the glass, the viewer approaches these worlds as an all-seeing eye, looking down upon landscapes that dwarf and threaten the figures within...
