Wondering how German artist Michael H. Rohde created this series of pictures? Rohde photographed each item individually and then arranged the objects into one composition, resulting in warping the viewer’s sense of perspective. A little dizzying.

Chef Cui is a noodle-slicing robot developed to take on the arduous task of slicing noodles in restaurants. The robots work on same principle as windscreen wipers as they slice the noodles with a swift up and down movement. They also light up for no functional reason. It is just me, or is anyone else [...]

It’s hard to believe these insanely beautiful giant fish sculptures have been made from discarded plastic bottles. As part of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), the installation was constructed on Botafogo beach in Rio de Janeiro. When in Rio, take a visit after sundown to watch them light up impressively.

Not everyone appreciates the 80s hair accoutrement of choice: the Scrunchie (just a few months ago, a Hilary Clinton staff member commented to the press that they wanted to ban her Scrunchie wearing). But, finally, there is blog not only giving due recognition to the fabric-covered elastic hair ties, but also to the vital role they have played in accessorising Olympians. A special shout out must go to giant pink fuzzy Ukrainian Scrunchie, which participated in 1994 Olympic ice-stating. Gold.

Californian-based artist Jeremy Mayer has made this skull entirely from old typewriter parts. It is one of a collection of scrap metal works made in cold assembly, meaning Mayer didn’t weld, glue or solder any of the parts together. Impressive.

American artist Andrew Lewicki takes the piss by creating an waffle maker which imprints the iconic and ostentatious Louis Vuitton logo. Unfortunately for all Kanye and Kim wannabee’s out there, it can only be added to the imaginary Wish List in your head as it’s just a prototype at this stage.

If you love vintage (and I know I do), then you’ll love the most recent collaboration between actor Adrian Grenier and former Nike designer Justin Hawkins: the flat-top steel beer can. Never heard of it? Chances are, if you’re under 50, it’s probably a beer experience you’ve never had. Since the mid-1970s, the flat top can has been nothing more than a distant memory. Until now, that is.

New Zealand’s winter is in full swing so kudos to the brave models who took part in this project, Aerial Nudes, by New Zealand photographer John Crawford. These photos were taken 600 feet in the air, while the models lay in places including a runway and a train track. I guess frost bite isn’t the only thing they should be watching out for.
