Since my childhood, I have been eating all kinds of vegetables such as cabbages, broccolis, brussel sprouts, cauliflowers, collard greens, etc. But nobody had ever exposed me with this alien engineered vegetable, the Romanesco broccoli. The Romanesco broccoli was first documented in Italy (as broccolo romanesco) in the sixteenth century (the century when the alien engineered it!). In Italy there are a number of recipes dedicated to Romanesco broccoli, but in the rest of the world it is usually prepared like normal broccoli.
I have always thought that veggies are ordinary until I came across this true marvel of nature. So intrigued by this veggie I decided to research more about it and discovered that they are selling seeds of this veggie on Amazon. That’s not all, I also found a near cousin to the Romanesco broccoli, the Purple Cauliflower. Maybe Barney the purple dino would want to try the purple cauliflower. I will definately buy these veggies if they are available in my local grocery store, not so much for eating but more for decorating my kitchen.
Believe it or not but elephants can really paint! Today I came across a video on Youtube about an elephant artist painting with his trunk. It’s amazing to see these wonderful mammals painting original works of art. I have to admit that they are really better than I do at paining. Their talent has fascinated me…so I thought I share with you all some of their amazing works in the videos below. Prepare to be amazed…
Between the 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan in New York City you will find the world largest and very busy train station, the Grand Central Station. Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day and nothing seem to slow them down. Except for one Saturday in January ‘08, commuters and tourists stopped to surprisingly notice people around them being frozen like wax people in the museum. This is the work of 207 agents from Improv Everywhere ; they were assigned to freeze in place for 5 minutes in Grand Central Station. Improve Everywhere is well known for causing scenes of chaos and joy in the public places. This video really ROCK MY WORLD! I hope you enjoyed watching the video as much as I did.

Camping is the best outdoor recreation activity to get in touch with nature. Everyone sometimes need to get away from the civilization and simply enjoy the nature. But the forest is not the best suitable place for us to live. Dealing with the wildlife, climate, animals might be difficult for us to survive. Why not live like the Ewoks? The Ewoks are the fictional species that looks like a teddy-bear in the Star Wars movie. Their villages are built generally between trees and they use the forest floor to hunt. It might be difficult for you to build your own tree house. What about to own your Free Spirit Sphere? It’s a spherical house that you can suspend on the trees. You can visit the Free Spirit Spheres website to get more information about it.

If you get a chance to walk on the Overblaak Street in Rotterdam, Netherlands. You could see these 32 cube houses all attached to each other. This set of innovative houses was designed by an architect by the name of Piet Blom in 1984. Each cube house has three floors. The reception, the kitchen and the living room are on the first floor. The bedroom and bathroom are on the second floor. The third floor is used sometimes as a small garden. I’m still amazed how people can live in these tiny houses.
