Thanks for all the clicks this month!
The fire whirl, also known as the fire devil or fire tornado is a rarely captured phenomenon in which a fire can under certain conditions (depending on air temperature and currents), acquires a vertical vorticity and forms a tornado-like rotating column of air.
Fire whirls may be whirlwinds separated from the flames, either within the burn area or outside it, or a vortex of flame, itself.
History records huge fire whirls that have diabolically sprung up out of blazes killing masses of people in matters of minutes. Most of the largest fire whirls have come from wildfires. They can be up to 100 miles high and persist for more than 20 minutes powerful enough to uproot trees!
Naturally beautiful and intimidating at the same time…

This has been around for a little while, yet without a doubt deserves a spot on this site.
This is notoriously known as the “first zombie-proof house”, which is a bold claim remaining untested. (Money back guarantee?)
At casa de no-zombie the house can basically go into hibernation mode completely sealing itself off from the outside world (and sneak attacks from the undead)
It has an extendable draw-bridge to gain access in and out when leaving to salvage food/weapons. And when things “die down” a bit, the patio opens up for quite evening outdoors.
It appears to be encased in durable glass on the lower levels, eliminating claustrophobia while giving clear view to your killzones.
We aren’t told, but I’m sure land-mines surround the property that remain dormant until activated.
Rock on, zombie proof house…rock on.
Much better source with more details and more pics here!
Thanks Redditer twofeetcia for the heads up.
I happened upon this strange hot-boxing imaginary pool I thought I would share…
It has a thin layer of water encased between the box and the top floor creating the illusion of being under water.
Ya for photo ops!
EDIT: Not water encasement – but rather a piece of glass. (Thanks roarlivia)
And with the help of redditers we were able to uncover this piece is displayed in NY at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and present by Leandro Erlich adequately titled “Swimming Pool”

Everyone knows Pinocchio’s nose grows when he lies.
So if he’s lying about his nose growing – then of course his nose will grow…
…But then of course it wouldn’t have been a lie, because it grew – which shouldn’t have grown, because he told the truth.
But then that means he lied.
I’m pretty this would only end in one of three ways.
A.
B.
C.
Nautical nightmare of the salty sea…pirates and ghost-ships.
After all, when was the last time you saw ninjas with wenches?
Check out this set of ghost ships I found (obviously not all pirate ships, but most likely inhabited by ghost pirates) – mixed in with some random artistic flavor for good taste.
Man I love me some pirate lore…the stuff of fantasy!
I picked up the following set also that was apparently some concept art for the new Pirates movie.
