The first thing you notice are the giant egg sculptures along the roofline.
Then it hits you that the Salvador Dali Theater Museum in Figueras, Spain, is no ordinary building.
The museum’s tower, Torre Galatea, was named for the surrealist artist’s deceased wife, and Dali himself lived there until his death in 1989.
Interestingly, the museum sits next to the parish church where Dali was baptized in 1904; he is buried in an unmarked crypt in the museum’s main exhibition hall.

"Triunfo dos Aliados"
Esta fotografia do triunfo dos Aliados na Segunda Guerra, onde um soldado russo agita a bandeira soviética no alto de um prédio, demorou a ser publicada, porque as autoridades russas quiseram modificá-la.
A bandeira era, na verdade, uma toalha de mesa vermelha e o soldado aparecia com dois relógios no pulso, possivelmente produto de saque.
Sendo assim, foi modificada para que não denegrisse a imagem dos Soviéticos.

Chemistry Went To Her Head
2008 Darwin Award Nominee - Confirmed True by Darwin (2 February 2008, Bulgaria)
It was a cold but sunny February afternoon.
Lidia, a biology teacher from Sofia, was driving two friends home from a memorial service.
Suddenly the vehicle stopped.
Bystanders saw all three occupants dash from the car to a nearby manhole and start pouring down liquids and powders from various bottles and jars.
Apparently the biology teacher had been performing chemistry experiments in her free time, and had some leftover noxious chemicals.
It is still not entirely clear what the chemicals were, but two of the bottles were labeled diethyl ether and methanol, both highly flammable liquids.
The former is also used as a sedative, so one explanation for their actions is that they felt dizzy from the ether vapors and thought it was a good idea to pour them in the sewer.
As it turns out, a good idea it definitely was not.
The cocktail of flammable substances in the enclosed space of the sewer caused an explosion so powerful that it launched the manhole cover into the air, decapitating the (briefly) surprised Lidia.
Left without a head on her shoulders, she decided it was time to kick the bucket.
The other two people were not unharmed, but were alive.
They were taken to the hospital with burns on their faces.
They may not regain their eyesight, but hopefully will be able to speak clearly enough to tell their children that tossing random chemicals down the drain is not as wise as it might at first appear.
