Upside Down House In Poland
Have you heard the one about the Polish architects who built the upside-down house?
ARVE Error: need id and providerSituated in Szymbark in Poland, the upside down house is essentially exactly what it sounds like – a house that is completely upside down. Apparently just standing inside the building can make you feel dizzy and seasick. One of the world’s most unusual houses and apparently one of the most sickening and disorientating as well!
World’s Biggest Pile Of Leaves
I wonder how much dog poop was mixed in with all those leaves.
Nick Garrett and his northern Utah buddies know how to kid around, from burying a treasure chest filled with chocolate coins on Venice Beach to doing flips off the roof of a house into what they call the “World’s Biggest Pile of Leaves.”
Three of their YouTube videos have gone viral, generating a little cash for them and even laughs from those who need it most — victims of Hurricane Sandy.
“I got chills when I read one,” Garrett said of an email response to a Halloween prank that involved carrying around their own door, bringing “reverse trick-or-treating” to people’s doorsteps.
He said the email from a Sandy victim suggested the three pranksters may just be having fun, “but you’re cheering up everyone that’s having a hard time.”
It’s easy to laugh watching 21-year-old Garrett, of Ogden, and his friends do back flips and cartwheels into a giant leaf pile that grew to 17 feet high and 60 feet in circumference.
Video of the stunt already has been viewed 1.5 million times, and it was only posted Sunday night.
Similarly, their Venice Beach caper caught 1.8 million views on their “bangakang” YouTube channel — the name a takeoff from Peter Pan and the lost boys who never want to grow up and yell bangarang. With bangarang already taken, they opted for something close.
Garrett, Weber State buddy Tyler White, 22, and carpet-cleaning friend Johnny Murdock, 25, were putting up fliers for their channel when they noticed all the bags of leaves on the streets awaiting the garbage man.
They rented a huge truck and started their own collection Nov. 8, picking up more than 1,200 bags and raking the yards of three or four houses around Logan themselves.
They dumped the estimated 20,000 pounds of leaves at a friend’s house in nearby Roy, and the following weekend pulled an all-nighter building the giant pile.
“We’ve never done anything like that, but in high school we’d always do crazy stuff,” said Garrett, who attends Utah State University. “It’s every kid’s dream to have a giant pile of leaves.”
By the time they were done, friends and family members couldn’t resist diving in, or jumping off the roof into the pile.
“No one got lost, no one got hurt,” Garrett said. “It was all good fun.”
Tianjin China Ceramic House
Zhang Lianzhi, a 50-year-old porcelain collector from Tianjin, China, has spent four years decorating an old house with hundreds of millions of ancient porcelain fragments and tons of natural crystals. It’s now known as the Porcelain House or Yuebao House.
The Porcelain House of Tianjin opened its gates to the public on September 2nd, 2007, onChifeng Street in Heping District. The old French-style building has a history of over 100 years. It was originally the home of a central finance minister in the late Qing dynasty, and was later converted into a bank, after the founding of New China, in 1949. But after the bank changed its location, the beautiful building was left deserted for several years, until porcelain collector Zhang Lianzhi bought it for 1 million yuan ($160,000). He then spent the following four years turning it into a unique edifice, decorated with porcelain dating from the Tang (AD 618-907) to the Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Now the Porcelain House is the most eye-catching building in Tianjin, and one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions.
