Volkswagen Bus

Artist Lee Stoetzel has made a wooden life-size Volkswagen Bus! The VW Bus is a one-to-one scaled 75" x 165" x 67 1/2", and is crafted from pecky cypress wood and steel. "We build houses and think that we have controlled space, yet nature winds its way into those materials. The sculptures I have built light up to emphasize the power of natural form. ", Stoetzel say. Don't play with the fire inside,and especially don't smoke if you want to remain cool and not baked during the driving.


Makita Smart Advertising

A big Makita drills image made of 20,081 Holes!They drilled over 20.000 holes into a wall to create a huge black and white image of, well, a Makita drill. To create the correct tones, the distances between the holes had to be very carefully calculated.Hard work!Not for me,nope.


Lego Jesus


A Swedish church unveiled a life-size statue of Jesus Christ during their Easter morning mass. This 6-foot-tall statue of Jesus has building out of 30,000 Lego blocks. It took the 40 volunteers about 18 months to put all the tiny plastic blocks together, and their creation shows a standing Jesus facing forward with his arms outstretched. This Lego Jesus Statue is a copy of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen's "Christus" statue on display in Copenhagen. It's Legisus Christ!

Urilift's Public Urinal

The Urilift's Public urinal(about $70,000) stays underground all day and rises up every evening for nighttime public urination problem. It will pop up at 10pm and drop down again at 3am every day(if it will close the drunk man undergroud? Maybe I thought ...). Unlike the automated, self-cleaning toilets with doors that automatically open after a set time period, the Urilift is a two-meter(over 6 feet tall) high stainless steel cylinder with three alcoves, each with a urinal, and no doors. If I can not find any toilets, I will consider it(shame)..."A council spokesman said: 'We intend to use the pop-up loo to tackle the problem of people urinating in shop doorways and on the streets of our town centre.' " It's already installed in various cities in Europe.Nice!
