An abandoned holiday resort in San Zhi, a small town on the north coast of Taiwan, consisting of bizarre podular buildings.

The Abandoned Pod City of San Zhi

The site was commissioned by the Taiwanese government and several local firms. It was an attempt at a luxurious vacation resort for those travelling from Taipei. It was even going to include an amusement park. The project was abandoned with out ever being completed. The architect is unnamed.

Rolling Bridge at Paddington Basin

“Rather than a conventional opening bridge mechanism, consisting of a single rigid element that lifts to let boats pass, the Rolling Bridge gets out of the way by curling up until its two ends touch. While in its horizontal position, the bridge is a normal, inconspicuous steel and timber footbridge; fully open, it forms a circle on one bank of the water that bears little resemblance to its former self.

Twelve metres long, the bridge is made in eight steel and timber sections, and is made to curl by hydraulic rams set into the handrail between each section.

The Rolling Bridge opens every Friday at noon and won the 2005 British Structural Steel Award.

Please note that on the rare occasion that wind speeds reach 30mph in the basin, the bridge will not open.”

Located in West Beiruit, a hot new restaurant, “Buns and Guns”, is causing a skirmish. Declared the “Home of the ‘AK-47 Kalashnikov’” which is actually a beef steak on terrorist bread. Also try a delicious “Rocket propelled Grenade”- Chicken on a skewer. “They accuse us of terrorism, so let’s serve terrorist bread, why not?” Mr Ibrahim told Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV. Other dishes include the Kalashnikov, Dragunov, Viper, B52, while realistic-looking weapons and ammunition decorate the counters, and camouflage netting hangs from the ceiling.

Beirut has recently passed through another round of civil strife when pro-government partisans and those of the Hezbollah-led opposition fought street battles in west Beirut.

But that does not necessarily mean that the customers think the restaurant is in bad taste.

Buns and Guns (motto: A sandwich can kill you) is located in a strongly Hezbollah-supporting area, where the group’s militia is lionised by many.

“My goal was to make people laugh before they ask me why weapons. The important thing is that they laugh,” Mr Ibrahim said.

He insists the only way his sandwiches could kill the customers is by their generous proportions.

“It attracts customers in an unconventional way. You noticed the moment I opened the restaurant, there was a lot of business,” he told the al-Manar correspondent, who later tucked into an RPG sandwich.  - source

A full color crop circle, complete with a whole wheat crust and pepperoni’s made of red mulch. After more than 600 hrs of labor Papa Johns has completed its ultimate promotion in the wheat fields near Denver, Colorado. Conviently located in the approach patterns for Denver International Airport.

“Papa John’s enlisted artist Stan Herd, who has more than 20 years of experience in ‘crop art,’ for a pizza- based design on 6 acres near DIA’s east and west runways.

‘It’s the best-situated area for crop artwork, with planes coming in on two strips over it,’ Herd said.

Cutting enough acreage to make the crop circle on farmer Jim Kruse’s land will produce more than 500 bushels of wheat, which will be milled in Commerce City or destroyed if rendered unusable, Herd said.”Link
