What’s an Action Park without a little bit of danger right? I don’t understand how this ride could exist in a sue-crazy modern era… Yes, it is a looping water slide. This water slide flipped the bird at physics so rudely that it was open for a single summer and then shut down for good.

Every University should have Giant Slides
‘By using this slide, you forfeit all rights to sue us.’ No this is not the lunch room at Google’s head office…This is the Technische Universitat in Munich, Germany.

Holy Skeletons – Sedlec Ossuary Church Decorated with 70,000 Bones
It is difficult to believe that any religion other than some satanic occult would decorate a place of worship with…human bones. The Sedlec Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. The ossuary is estimated to contain
Visually Stunning Stuttgart City Library
I wouldn’t even know where to start…The recently opened Stuttgart City Library or as locals call it, “the book prison” was created to have a plain white unobtrusive design where the books and people create the color and ambiance.

Like Being in the Belly of a Fossilized Beast – HR Giger Bar
If the architecture inside this bar looks vaguely familiar, it may be because it was designed by artist HR Giger (the designer of the Alien film character).
