The post 15 Insane Facts About Anything And Everything appeared first on Barnorama.

Freedom Ship
During the 1990s, an idea was proposed to create a floating city to house up to 50,000 people while sailing around the world. The vessel was slated to have schools, shops, and jobs just like on land, as well as an airport on the top. The boat would have been 4,500 feet in length and too massive to fit into any port around the world. Thus, the project never left the drawing board.

Paris’ Pleasure Tower
Imagine a tower in Paris that you could take you car all the way to the top for a meal in restaurant that holds 2000 people and a view from 2300 feet high. It’s a mystery why this was never made.

Burj Khalifa Fabric Wrap
As if the bulding itself wasn’t enough, they wanted to add a transpatrent barrier of fabric around the entire buildign as an aesthetic touch. Seems a bit ridiculous.

The Manhattan Dome
Back in the sixties, domed cities were all the rage due to the rising popularity of the science fiction genre. The dome was proposed with the claims that it would provide a perfectly regulated and pollution free environment. Clearly this idea was a bit too far-fetched and the project was scrapped.

Vertical Farming
Imagine skyscrapers where each floor is covered in crops. These vertical farms were brought to the table, but there isn’t sufficient technology that exists yet to creat a sustainable environment for all of the crops.

Plan Voisin
As if the ‘Pleasure Tower’ wasn’t enough, an architect in the 1920s wanted to demolish all of Paris’ existing buildings t make way for 18 massive glass towers with sprawling gardens below. Luckily, Paris was saved when the idea didn’t catch on.

Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid
Essentially Japan wanted to make a floating pyramid in the sky to manage its rising population. The pyramid was slated to fit over one million people and be big enought to house 100 foot sky scrapers. It was just impossible to figure out how the hell to get the thing to float.

Project Chariot
Back in the day when atomic bombs were first being used, many people were terrified of them and only saw them in a negative light. Therefore, America wanted to display them in a positive manner by suggesting ‘Project Chariot’ where they would detonate atomic boms to widen the Panama Canal. Nearby villages were not too keen on the idea and the project never happend.

Sutyagin House
In 1992, Nikolai Sutyagin of Arkhangelsk, Russia decided that his home was not up to par. So, he started building more levels. Each level he built left him dissatisfied, so he kept adding on until he was arrested and the project came to a halt. At least he broke the record for the tallest wooden home at 144 feet.

The World
Dubai is famous for its outlandish construction concepts, but this one was extreme. A company wanted to make a string of provate islands in the shape of the world, only to run into financial trouble prior to the project being finished. While the islands do exist, there is only one that is occupied today.

Here are examples of artists that attempt to live up to Banksy’s dream to get the art off the walls and start melting into the streets.

The famous and anonymous street artist and political activist “Banksy” said that he pines for a city that is more blended into its street art culture. He wants one that “feels like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall – it’s wet.”

This is sweet, but mannequin or not, this guy would get severally accosted in New York City for taking up that much sidewalk.

Its tough being a city lawyer. This guy just lost his head-case. Badom *miss*

This is the kind of uplifting piece that would go great in a park or around a koi pond.

Broad strokes.

Dustin Hoffman, Marathon Man

On the surface, the life of an actor appears to be a glamorous one. You get to live where the weather’s always beautiful in beautiful houses with beautiful people. Not bad! It’s not all just handed to you, though. There is an uglier side to being an actor, one that only lasts a little while and you get handsomely paid for, but still, especially in relation to the rest of their lives, it’s pretty ugly. This comparatively less-attractive side of the craft, of course, being getting into character. There seems to be no limit to where an actor will go physically or emotionally to become one with their character.

See for yourself!

A heavy-lift ship is a vessel designed to move very large loads that cannot be handled by normal ships.

Ships are supposed to float above the water. Right? Well not this one. It spends all of its time just below the water on purpose. Doing a job that we never expected. Because who knew you’d need something like this… until you do.

Amazing.

This is the Blue Marlin, a semi-submerging vessels capable of lifting another ship out of the water and transporting it.

Like the USS Cole.

Or, say, a dozen other transport ships.

Or this Oil Rig

Or this one.

This is the SBX-1. The Sea-Based X-Band Radar, which is a floating, self-propelled, mobile active electronically scanned array radar station designed to operate in high winds and heavy seas. It is part of the U.S. Defense Department Ballistic Missile Defense System.

And it’s huge!

These are drilling rigs with a gridwork of iron below them creating a giant footprint to stabilize the weight. They jack up out of the water with those large legs.

And here’s three of them.
