The Stone House in Portugal looks like something that has come right out of the Flintstones. The house is made of stone and was constructed in-between two rocks. The house also comes with a steel door and windows that are bullet resistant to safeguard it from any vandalism. Inside, it looks a lot more comfortable than it does on the outside and it has to be classed as an example of modern architecture gone back to the Stone Age.

2. The Dancing building in the Czech Republic

Just looking at this house you would think that it was shaking its booty in time to a tune. The Dancing House, which is also known as the Fred and Ginger, is located in Czech Republic and is a stunning piece of architecture. You might think that when they were building it, the builders had too many sips from the wine bottle as it wobbles all over the place. The designer of this wonderful building is Vlado Milunic and not surprisingly, it has become a symbol of the city and an attraction.

3. The Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in Brazil

La Pedrera is also known by the name Casa Mila and is located in Barcelona in Spain and it was said to have been designed for a married couple by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi . The building is very unconventional as there isn’t a single straight line to it and it was very controversial at the time of construction because of the bold undulating stone facade and twisted wrought iron that decorate the balconies and windows

5. The Crooked House in Poland

The Habitat 67 is located in Canada and it is a complex piece of architecture that takes on the appearance of building blocks stacked one on top of the other in an obscure fashion. While it does look precarious in places, it is of course stable and it became a main attraction for Expo 67 when it was created by Moshe Safdie.

7. Forest Spiral in Hundertwasser, Germany

The Forest Spiral was designed in 2000 and it takes its name from the green roof that spirals around the building. The movements and colours of it go towards giving the design a look that is very stylish and warm. It was designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, while the architect was Heinz Springmann and it certainly is something of a masterpiece.

8. Cubic House in Rotterdam, Netherlands

During their annual migration, wildebeests are forced to find new river crossings in the Serengeti-Mara region. "The animals were being taken by the unfamiliar currents of deep water and had to struggle to get close to the far bank. There were few rocks on which to land and the initial orderly progression soon became a desperate struggle of clambering," says Lunney.

Amazing, Strangest Unsolved Mysteries?

The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich

The disappearance of Frederick Valentich is one of the eeriest mysteries that remain unsolved. On Oct 21, 1978, the 20 year old-Valentich was piloting a Cessna 182L light aircraft over the Bass Strait en route to King Island. Australia. During the flight, Valentich was in radio communication with Melbourne air traffic 

control and he repeatedly made mention of a "strange aircraft hovering on top of me". Right before a strange noise severed the transmission, Valentich went to say, "It is hovering and its not an aircraft.

Other moments of the radio transmission recorded Valentich saying, "Delta Sierra Juliet-Melbourne. It seem like its (stationary) or (chasing me), What I'm doing right now is orbiting, and the thing is just orbiting on top of me also. It's got a green light and sort of metallic(like). It's shiny on the outside.

In the moments leading up to Valentich's Last recorded contact, a plumber named Roy Manifold had set up a time lapse camera on the shoreline to capture the sun setting over the water. Upon developing the photos, the images appeared to depict a fast-moving object exiting the water nearly 20 minutes before Valentich final transmission. A report conducted by the Scientific Journal of Exploration said witnesses reported an"erratically moving green light" by the time of Valentich flight.

No trace of Fredrick Valentich nor his aircraft has ever been found. In 2012, Keith Basterfield, an Adelaide researcher who has been investigating the disappearance since 1978, concluded, "The only thing we can say for sure is that tha plane and a pilot disappeared while he was describing a UFO-which is one of those things that just make people wonder.

Insane And Unbelievable Military Weapons that Can Exist. Amazing.

Everyone is familiar with common military weapons like the machine guns, tanks and rocket launchers, jets and many more. But they are lot of more crazy weapons that probably we haven't seen. Some of this military weapons technology was never used, some of it still in development and have actually been used in combat. Lear all about these crazy weapons and vehicles by reading through this gallery.

1-TSAR TANK (Russia)

The Tsar Tank will be the most crazy military vehicle of all time. Features two giants spoked wheels, a centured gun and small rear wheel, this thing hardly even looks like a tank. A prototype was actually made in the early 1900s. but the back of the wheel proved to be a fatal design flaw. The tested vehicle got stucked in the mud during testing and never been used.





2- Schwerer Gustav Cannon (Germany)

Its too easy to forget how powerful Germans were during Hilter regins, but the ridiculous cannon is a pretty good reminder. The Germans made two of these railway-mounted artillery pieces that fire 800mm shells at a distance of up to 23 miles away. Both cannons were destroyed during WORLD WAR 11







3-Transformer (United States)

You may have probably been seen the Terrafugia flying car. But this military concept vehicle takes this idea to the next level. The Transformer somewhat resembles to an armored Humvee, a small plane and a helicopter all combined into one. This is latest technology being developed by the Americans.






4-Active Denial System (United States)

It wasn't long ago that heat rays were simple science fiction.. The vehicle-mounted ADS now makes these weapons a thing of reality. This laser death ray essentially works likes a giant mircowave that heats the outer layer of the skin. The weapon is designed as a deterrent device that will disperse crowds and end conflicts with very limited effects.





5-Flying tanks (United States)

The united states, Russia, Japan and England all experimented with combining the warplane and the tank in between WW1 and WW2. They were attempting to create a ultimate war machine that could fly and attacks at the same time with large capacity of destruction.
