In a coastal town in Denmark, there is a tree which took the shape of a house to shelter itself from wind. According to the photographer,
This old pink house is situated at the old dunes, a few hundred meters from the west coast, a very windy place were there isn’t much that can grow. So the tree can only grow where it has shelter.
I am not sure whether this tree was trimmed by the house owner, but in case it was not, this tree is a perfect case for Darwin’s survival of the fittest theory.
Don’t you find it quite disturbing to see that something like this could possibly exist?

I quit drinking coke 6 months ago when I saw how much sugar it contained. I took a 33 ml. bottle of coke in my hands, turned it around and read: 39 grams of sugar. That was nearly half of a 100-gram chocolate bar! I though this was too much sugar to take in and since then I don’t drink any sugar drinks at all. Only water and natural juices.
This is how a nuclear explosion looks like ten-millionth of a second after detonation.

In case of war, the plugs are removed. The bowlders fall on the road and block it, so that enemy tanks can not go through.
