If you love riding your bike or scooter and drawing you are going to be thrilled with this new invention, that allows you to do both - Simultaneously! Aptly dubbed Chalktrail, it is the brainchild of Bellingham, WA resident Scott Baumann, whose 'aha' moment came about five years ago, when he was saw his kids and their friends constantly getting off their bikes to create chalk drawings.
If you ever visit La Gomera, one of the small islands that make up the Canaries, you are guaranteed to hear some sweet nightingale like whistling sounds. While some may emanate from the golden-voiced bird itself, chances are most of what you are hearing is coming from the residents, who believe it or not, are tweeting actual words to each other in a language they call Silbo Gomera (Spanish for 'Gomeran Whistle') or El Silbo (the whistle).
Londoner's rushing to work near the city center's Trafalgar Square on this dreary winter morning were in for a pleasant surprise - A bright orange sun that seemed to have arrived at least two hours early. Of course, this wasn't the real deal, but a man-made art installation created by a group of artists by the name of Greyworld.
Who would have guessed that one could turn piglets into little divas that trot around with shopping bags and race everywhere in convertibles! But that's exactly the kind of things British photographer Bob Elsdale persuades them to do and, he has pictures to prove it.

We have all heard of skyscrapers - those towering structures that dominate city landscapes all over the world - But an Earthscraper? That's got to be a first. The incredible concept which entails building a 65-story structure underground, is the brainchild of Mexican firm BNKR Arquitectura, as an attempt to get around Mexico City's eight-floor building limit.
Derived from the Greek word Kallos (beautiful) and graphe (writing), Calligraphy is the art of beautiful lettering - One that takes some practice and dedication. While in the Western world, such painstaking lettering is reserved for special occasions like weddings and graduations, in China, older men go through great lengths etching beautiful lettering on gravel roads using giant paint brushes and water - Only to see it disappear in a few minutes.
Ever wonder why escalators have the same boring rectangular stairs and relatively straight look? Jack Levy from City University London certainly did and has come up with a radical design that not only makes them more exciting to ride on, but also, more cost-efficient.
With buildings getting taller by the day, the cost of keeping them illuminated during the night is not only soaring, but also, a complete waste of valuable resources. Now, an Israeli designer has come up with a brilliant idea - Tiles that act as energy absorbers during the day and light emitters at night.
