"Formula 1 engineering firm BERU is currently working on the The Factor001, a pedal-powered speedster that is being touted as the world’s most advanced bicycle.

Taung Kalat

usually id put this under the heading GPS Coordinates but this deserves a little bit more attention than that

Taung Kalat is a monestary located in central Burma sitting atop a volcanic plug. what is a volcanic plug you ask ? exactly what it sounds like. but technically its magma that has dried up on the way up from the mouth of a volcano, creating a plug.

Macaque monkeys patrol the monastery but dont trust these lil guys, they'll steal anything you leave behind with the quickness.
