The 'Never Say You've Seen It All' Thread

It's a truism that the rich are different from us. Consider this example, a clothes closet so incredible even the rich women of reality shows would cry for the want of it. No idea whose house that is, but Dallas Design Group created this beyond opulent marvel. As you can see, everything really IS bigger in Texas.

Came across this on FB, and it was news to me, especially since it still continues. Save on divorce--sell your wife. If you're a really bad husband, she might volunteeer!

Returning to the Hitler ice cream cones, this was in India, and it rated a Daily Mail story.

And that's not all. There's other Hitler themed merchandise, including a restaurant with a swastika on its electric sign.

Erwin,

I believe that such videos make excellent teaching tools for STEM courses. They'd have to do a NUMBERS mini-series to cover all the math in that latest one I posted. And now to weird news!

After I posted the above, I saw that this was deadly serious. Here's why. Source was Chicago Tribune, but it was having site access issues.
 

"ok i know a lot of you are laughing about this in the tags and saying they deserved it because they’re furries, but what actually happened to cause this wasn’t funny at all

somebody deliberately poisoned the air on the 9th floor of the hotel with chlorine gas at about 12:40 in the morning. thousands of people were evacuated from the hotel (not all of them were there for FurFest) and nineteen people wound up in the hospital as a result of the poisoning (source)

basically this was an act of terrorism and it’s actually really ****ing terrible. nobody deserves this"

Erwin,

Had several near misses involving a topical steroid barely detected in time to avoid putting it on my toothbrush. Working by feel alone can be disastrous. On a far cheerier note, here's a stellar building reimagining and repurposing project nearly 50 years in and still going strong.

Music has produced all sorts of unusual instruments down through the ages, but this one's a doozy. Presenting the Pyro-Trombone, a patented device designed to remove boredom from slide trombone performances! Musician inventor Valentin Guérin performs with a woman I believe to be his sister.
