I Spend All Day Looking For Fascinating, Mind-Blowing Pictures, And These Are The 22 Best I Saw Last Week
1.This was the menu aboard the Titanic days before it sank:
What're you going with? Gotta be the Hodge Podge for me.
2.The doors on the presidential limousine are ridiculously thick:
This particular limo is known as "The Beast," for obvious reasons.
3.This is what the leg of the largest dinosaur to ever exist, the Argentinosaurus, looks like compared to a human:
The Argentinosaurs measured about 130 feet across.
4.There's a huge crater on Mars that's filled with ice:
5.This is what velcro looks like under an electron microscope:
6.This is what a deconstructed escalator looks like:
Not even stairs at this point. Sad state of affairs.
7.There's a bird that looks like it has a bowl cut. My friends, meet the crested canary:
He's magnificent!
8.This is what a Hoover Dam spillway tunnel looks like. Check out the tiny, tiny walkway on top:
The spillways are there to make sure water doesn't go over the dam. The tunnel is 50 feet wide and 600 feet long and totally not the stuff of nightmares.
9.This is what a gorilla going to the dentist looks like:
This is a silverback gorilla named Motaba getting checked for infection.
Gorillas... they're just like us!
10.Saturn has a moon named Mimas that looks pretty much exactly like the Death Star:
11....but that's just a coincidence. Mimas was first seen up close and clear three years after Star Wars came out:
Or maybe George Lucas KNEW something.
12.A cardinal with no feathers on its head is absolutely terrifying:
Our friend here is molting, do not be alarmed. Well, be a little alarmed.
13.A group of Japanese samurai visited the Great Sphinx of Giza in 1864:
They were part of a Japanese embassy to Europe. I know what you're all thinking: If only they could have been there 2,500 years earlier and helped the Pharaoh Psamtik III stop the Persian invasion of the Two Lands. SMH!
14.This is a pepperbox pistol, a type of firearm that could have as many as 24 barrels:
Looney Toons lookin' pistol.
15.Stink bug eggs have little smiley faces on them:
Ain't that precious.
16.Some Chinese soldiers have pins attached to their collars in order to correct posture during exercises:
Very chill sitch. Read more about it here.
17.This lovable lump is a sea hare, a species of gigantic slugs found on the California coast:
We must protect our giant slug brethren.
18.Allen wrenches can be absolutely enormous:
19.And bananas, my boy, bananas can be very, very tiny:
20.The Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden is home to an almost completely preserved 17th-century warship:
The ship sank in 1628 and was salvaged from Stockholm Harbor in 1961. Look how big it is!
21.This is what a suit of elephant armor looked like:
This particular set dates back to 16th-century India. If I was a soldier and saw this coming at me, I think I'd just turn around and pack it in.
22.And this is Pelorus Jack, a dolphin that spent two decades helping to guide ships through the "treacherous" French Pass in New Zealand:
Pelorus Jack was so popular and well-known that the government of New Zealand issued an order protecting his life in 1904. Tell me, folks: Do we stan Pelorus Jack?
