NASA's Airbus Industries, Super Guppy
he Boeing 377SG Super Guppy flew for the first time on 31 August 1965. Without the Super Guppy, the only other way to get NASA's Apollo rocket stages from California to Florida was on a slow boat through the Panama Canal. The Super Guppy cut not just days, but weeks and months out of the schedules. Of course, this success was also its downfall. Once the Apollo and Skylab programs were terminated, dwindling public interest in the space program forced cutbacks in funding. In an attempt to keep the company afloat, Aero Spacelines had to look for commercial applications for the Guppy.

Top 10 Least Intelligent Dogs
It was inevitable to write this list after we posted the top 10 most intelligent dogs. With good comes bad and with smart comes stupid. With every positive quality comes a negative. Yes, this applies to dog breeds, as silly as it may sound. You have probably seen or heard about how smart some dogs are. These dogs are usually the ones that hog up all of the limelight. Mostly everyone wants an intelligent dog that can be trained to do things that most dogs can’t. On the other hand, some people don’t.
What’s so wrong with a not-so-intelligent dog anyway? It all depends on what you want to do with the dog. If you’re looking for a dog that will herd your cattle, you’ll want one that is on the more intelligent side. If you’re looking for a lap dog to sit and cuddle with day-to-day, you probably aren’t too worried about how smart the dog is. It’s time to steal some of the thunder from those intelligent breeds. Move over Labradors! Here is a list of the top 10 least intelligent dog breeds:

Super Thin Buildings
When land is expensive or in short supply, smart real estate developers don’t get down, they look up. But, long, thin buildings are more expensive to construct because their shape requires more exterior wall area to enclose the same volume of space compared to a structure with a square plan. Either way, these super-skinny buildings are giving new meaning to the phrase 'now you see them, now you do not', and represent interesting places for taking photos.

Magic Restroom Cafe — America's First Bathroom Themed Restaurant
Magic Restroom Cafe, America's first bathroom-themed eatery, soft opened October 11 in City of Industry, one day ahead of schedule. As soon as doors parted, the tomfoolery began. The cafe lobby is adorned with both urinals and toilets, and the prime tables have showerheads fitted on the adjoining wall. Restaurant staff encourages diners to pose with all bathroom facilities.
If the imported miniature toilet bowl ceramicware used extensively by the restaurant doesn't offend you, imagine it filled with goopy brown curry. If diarrhea-looking food swimming in a toilet bowl still doesn't offend, understand the dish is named signature "golden poop" rice. Order correctly (chicken wings, Taiwanese sausage, fried tofu), and the food arrives in a miniature floor commode which was the stuff of nightmares for Western backpackers in Asia in the past.

Pilatusbahn — The World's Steepest Cogwheel Train
The Pilatusbahn railway in Switzerland connects Alpnachstad on Lake Lucerne, to a terminus near the summit of Mount Pilatusbahn at an altitude of 2,073 meter. The track climbs a slope of more than 1,600 meters in just 4.6 km, making it the steepest track railway in the world. It has an average gradient of 38% and a maximum of 48% - steeper than the steepest street in the world.
The project to build the line was proposed in 1873, suggesting a 1,435 mm standard gauge and 25% maximal gradient. However it was concluded that the project would not be economically viable. Then Eduard Locher, an engineer with great practical experience, devised a unique system with the maximal grade raised to 48% to cut the length of the route in half. Conventional systems at the time could not handle such gradients because the vertical cogwheel that is pressed to the rack from above may, under higher gradients, jump out of the engagement with the rack, eliminating the train’s main driving and braking power. Instead, Locher placed a horizontal double rack between the two rails with the rack teeth facing each side. This was engaged by two cogwheels carried on vertical shafts under the car.

The Rear View Mirror Cam For Your Bike
Well now, this is just what was missing in our lives. A rear view camera for your bike. Just strap the camera firmly under the seat and attach the display to the handlebars. Kind of looks like a GPS navigation system, but in reality you get a view of what’s behind you. Yep, it replaces those silly bicycle rearview mirrors, but you might still want to turn your head and get a good look in critical situations. The Owl 360 retails for $200. Cool gizmo or total nonsense?

Playful Exotic Birds Made of Flower Petals — Red Hong Yi's
Artist Hong Yi, aka Red, is back with another fun project that, this time, turns flower petals into birds. After her playful 31-day Creativity with Food series was completed, the imaginative artist continued to take on various projects, but it seems she has developed yet another wonderful collection of cleverly crafted images.
The flower-bird series follows in Red's tradition of making something incredibly creative from unconventional materials. Sharing the images through her Instagram account, the project came to her organically. It began as a mandala using flowers picked from her garden back in Malaysia and evolved through an ode to Banksy and support for Turkey into a bird.

Millionaire's house has 165 foot aquarium fence
Mehmet Ali Gökçeoglu is a Turkish business man with plenty of cash and some very interesting tastes.

The aquarium is stocked with massive amounts of fish, a cleaning and filtration system, and provides a security wall that is beautiful, but probably not secure.

Extraordinary Photographs of Animals Inside the Womb
The experience of most detailed embryonic animal photographs ever taken. Using revolutionary four-dimensional scanning technology, scientists have shed light on the world of animals inside the womb, including that of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, and elephants. The images are from a National Geographic Documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb” and were captured by using a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and small cameras to document the animals’ development from conception to birth. The documentary serves as “testimony to the strong relatedness of all mammals.”
The documentary specifically explores the Shark and how its cannibalistic embryos must eat their own brothers to survive; the Emperor Penguin and its egg-bound chicks that must battle the coldest weather on the planet; the Kangaroo and its underdeveloped young who will undergo an exceptionally premature birth; and the Parasitic Wasp whose larvae must hijack and exploit the body of another creature to survive.
