World's Smallest Revolver

The SwissMiniGun C1ST is a double-action .09 caliber six-shooter that's just over two inches (5.5 cm) long weighing 0.7 oz (19.8 g). The level of detail is amazing – the Swiss gunsmiths behind the MiniGun are experienced in jewelry and watchmaking crafts, and have orders to produce works of art that happen to be fully functioning guns.

The gun has been banned in the US because it makes it easy to sneak it into planes. It may seem non-lethal but it is banned all throughout the country.

Hanshin Expressway Goes Through a Building, Japan

It's not easy building a new highway in Japan, since it's one of the most crowded places in the world. For instance, often you'll find that the place where you want to build your roadway happens to be obstructed by a skyscraper. There's no place else to put it, and the owners of the building certainly don't feel like tearing it down. What do you do?

You just cut right through the middle. Behold, the Hanshin Expressway — with Dhananjay Samal, Gulabshih Makwana, Harnish Patel and 38 others.

Novak Djokovic
Liked · 9 December

I am so glad to have been on the Winter Whites Gala event last night. It was beautifully organized and I enjoyed very much watching the legends of tennis produce some magic on court. I got to hit couple of balls too on the other side, I am very grateful for the award I received from Duke of Cambridge, Prince William. It is a great honor to receive such a prestigious award, and I hope that through Novak Djokovic Foundation we will be able to help even more children in Serbia and around the world have better lives. I am now off to Necker Island for another charity event. I wish you all a wonderful day today!

I shot this calf on the road in 2011 on the eve of Diwali at Neyveli, which is my hometown. Due to crackers going off everywhere, the cows couldn’t rest near homes so they sought the middle of the road for rest. The fog, noise, and the backlighting of the streetlight made me take this picture.

Winter’s Night, Roros, Norway.

The modern-day inhabitants of Røros still work and live in the characteristic 17th and 18th century buildings which have led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.



Røros has about 80 wooden houses, most of them standing around courtyards. Many retain their dark pitch-log facades, giving the town a medieval appearance.
