Remember when, right before the Sochi Olympics, a photo of two side-by-side toilets without a partition wall circulated online? Toilets quickly became the target of ridicule and one can only wonder what was going through the minds of the architects. Is the culture in Russia so different from what we are used to? Well, as you'll see in the series of photos below, some of the other architects have a really weird sense of humor too.
Architect Jeffrey Pelletier turned the basement of his house in Seattle into Lego heaven, where we can find around 250 thousand different pieces of Lego bricks. Can you imagine having this as a kid? Anyway, Lego blocks marked the childhood of many children, including Pelletier's. Last but not least, it is their "fault" that he is an architect today. Unlike most architects, he not only visualizes his ideas in AutoCAD, but also builds them from Lego bricks. This was also the case with the house in which he lives and where the Lego basement is located.

Let's take a look at the fashion of flight attendants through time.

Fragrance ads always go overboard. Like some with the application of perfume. If you choose this scent, then you will not miss sex. Yes of course. Well, rapper, producer and fashion designer P. Diddy's erotic ad for his new perfume 3AM raises that bar even higher. She stars in the provocative video alongside singer Cassie Ventura, and if you think it's all about sex, you're wrong. P. Diddy says it's love.
Of all the rooms in our homes, the kitchen is the center of energy, activity, comfort and creativity. It is the heartbeat of every apartment.
