Weird Shaped Clouds
At one time or another, we’ve all found ourselves lying in a grassy field somewhere, looking up at the clouds and thinking, “Wow, that really looks like a rabbit.” Usually, day-drinking or hallucinogens have been involved, and none of your friends can see what you’re blathering about. That’s where The Cloud Appreciation Society comes in — they’ve compiled the photographic evidence to prove that sometimes, clouds do actually look like things. So let’s pretend like we’re outside and and take a moment to appreciate some of the finest clouds in all the land.Elevator Shaft Bathroom

Elevator Shaft Bathroom
This is a penthouse bathroom from a condo in Guadalajara, Mexico that was built over an old 15-story elevator shaft. That…is terrifying. Could you imagine even using that toilet? I’d have to tie a towel around myself and then anchor it to the towel bar. And what happens if you just need to go the bathroom and somebody at the bottom looks up and sees your peenor? Because it’s gonna look miiiiiiiiiighty tiny from 15-stories down. They might even start rumors around the building about you. Psst — you know the guy who lives up in the big penthouse? I heard he’s trying to make up for something. So, yeah, besides drowning I can’t think of anything scarier than the thought of plummeting 15 stories. Yes, yes I can — plummeting 15 stories with your f***ing pants around your ankles.Jungfraujoch – The Top of the Europe

But they’re flesh and blood humans, transformed into terrifying figurines.
