2-legged cats

What you’re seeing in this picture is either a very mean joke God played on these poor kitties or some expert Photoshop job! Yes indeed, these kittens are running around with only 2 legs! How is that possible? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe something went wrong in the genes and all that scientific jazz or maybe it’s a picture hoax! Whatever you choose to believe, it is a pretty interesting thing to see.

Mysterious Lines of Nasca

The patterns are of three types: biomorphs (drawings of animals, trees, etc), the geometric shapes (triangles, rectangles, trapeziums) and the straight lines. Biomorphs are 25 to 275 m in size. They have each been drawn using a single, uninterrupted line which never crosses itself. Geometric shapes are usually hundreds of metres wide and thousands of metres long. They often cross or interconnect with each other. The straight lines are quite narrow but they are usually many miles long and perfectly straight with the longest being about 9 miles (15km).

Pan America Highway. Peruvians did not know the existence of Nasca lines so they built the Pan Am high way through the middle of them. It was an American scientist, Paul Kosok who discovered these lines in 1939 when he flew over this area in a small airplane, although in late 1920s, some passengers of commercial aircraft reported seeing aircraft runway on the desert. Maria Reiche, a German mathematician, then Paul's Spanish translator, dedicated her rest of life to studying and protecting the lines until she died in 1998 at an age of 95 in Nasca.

Wackiest Buildings in the World

The Nakagin Capsule Tower:
Situated in Tokyo, Japan. Designed by Kisho Kurokawa, it is the world’s first example of capsule architecture, in which prefabricated modules/capsules were designed to be slotted into and around the main shaft of the building. Each capsule is able to function as an entirely separate office or living space, with capsules being able to connect to one another.



Habitat 67:
Situated in Montreal, Canada. This was created by architect Moshe Safdie, and was supposed to give the illusion of many different private/separate houses, but with the economic practicality of modern-day apartment complex construction. Another example of “modular” architecture, the aim was to use interlocking concrete “modules” in order to create affordable and stylish private housing. Ironically, due to the architectural fame of Habitat 67, the units are nowadays quite expensive.


The Robot Building:
Located in the Sathorn district of Bangkok, Thailand. This strange construction actually houses the United Overseas Bank’s Bangkok headquarters. Designed by architect Sumet Jumsai to emphasize the increasing usage of computers in modern-day banking.


The Dancing House:
Also nicknamed “The Drunk House”, is a downtown office building in Prague, in the Czech Republic, and was designed by Czech architect Frank Gehry. Notable features include a French restaurant on the roof, with wonderful views of the city.


The Crooked House:
Located in Sopot, Poland. Inspired by various fairytale drawings and built by Polish architects Szotyńscy Zaleski, this strange-looking building actually houses a multitude of bars, cafes, and shops. However, I imagine most of the visual appeal is offered from the outside, rather than within.


The Longaberger Company/The Basket Building:
This building in Ohio is home to the headquarters of a top American basket manufacturer, and is built to resemble one of their best-selling products, a basket. Originally, the founder – Dave Longaberger – wanted each company building to be basket-shaped, however his wishes we not to be granted, as after his death, his daughters vetoed plans to build more basket buildings.


Steel House:
Designed and built by artist Robert Bruno, and situated in Lubbock, Texas. Born from an idea that Bruno had upon completing a steel sculpture, he wondered what it would be like if he could walk through it. Weighing in at 110 tons of steel, it was constructed by welding steel plates onto a pre-built dome-like centre structure.


Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Building:
Branson, Missouri. In order to reflect the 8.0 scale earthquake that happened at New Madrid, MO in 1812, this was purposely built so that it looked like it had barely made it through that earthquake. It’s currently home to the Branson outlet of the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museums.


Golden Pyramid House:
Wadsworth, Illinois. This odd structure is apparently a privately-owned residence, although at one time it may have been host to tours and even have operated a gift shop. However, these days the large front gate is forebodingly shut.


The Mushroom/Tree house:
Designed by architect – and also professor of Architecture at the University of Cincinnati – Terry Brown. Brown was also helped with its construction by his university students, as part of an ongoing project. In 2006, it was announced that the house was for sale for roughly $400,000.

All Children Have Human Rights

The United Nations’ 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child was the first legally binding international law to incorporate the full range of human rights: civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Built on a variety of legal systems and cultural traditions, the Convention is a universally agreed upon set of non-negotiable standards and obligations. These basic standards set minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be respected by governments. They are founded on respect for the dignity and worth of each individual, regardless of race, color, gender, language, religion, opinions, origins, wealth, birth status or ability and therefore apply to every human being everywhere.

With these rights comes the obligation on both governments and individuals not to infringe on the parallel rights of others. These standards are both interdependent and indivisible; some rights cannot be ensured without, or at the expense of, other rights. Its implementation is monitored by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. National governments that ratify it commit themselves to protecting and ensuring children’s rights, and agree to hold themselves accountable for this commitment before the international community.

The Committee on the Rights of the Child, along with international criminal accountability mechanisms such as the International Criminal Court, the Yugoslavia and Rwanda Tribunals, and the Special Court for Sierra Leone, is said to have significantly increased the profile of children’s rights worldwide.

The United States is one of only two countries in the world which have refused to ratify The United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child.
