Lonely Lighthouse Perfect for Surviving the Zombie Apocalype

Guard duty at this lighthouse is probably not the best job for anyone with a tendency to go sleepwalking. Precariously perched on a rock pillar in the Westman Islands around six miles from Iceland’s mainland, the Þrídrangaviti lighthouse is arguably the most isolated lighthouse in the world, and most definitely the scariest. The solitary structure, sitting…

All Aboard the Perilous Piha Railway

I found an interesting collection of photographs all the way on New Zealand’s side of the internet today. Pictured here is a steam train called the “Sandfly” circa 1915, travelling along what looks like a fun little railway– at first… This is the Piha Tramway, which ran from 1906 -1921, along the Tasman Sea on the North…

This just looks like one of those things you can’t quite believe was ever invented, like radioactive toothpaste or lime & cheese jello salad. From what I’ve learned, a modern-day descendent of the Rotor ride can still be found at a few theme parks around the…

Tagging along with an Underground NYC Urban Explorer

Feel as if you’re tagging along right behind urban historian and photographer, Steve Duncan on his nocturnal exploration of the underbelly of New York. It’s exciting and tense as Steve guides us through the unknown while desperately trying to avoid getting caught: “It’s very worrisome to get caught doing something like this because a lot of…

The Drug that makes Pablo Escobar look like a Saint

There’s a lot of things that fascinate us in the world, especially the things that scare the crap out of us. And learning about scopolamine, a.k.a “The Devil’s Breathe”, will do just that.
