A sheep at a farm of one of my friends. He was born with his head the wrong way round. He lives happily and has been checked by a Vet to ensure he is in no pain. He can eat, sleep and do everything other sheeps can.

A user called LhoghoNurbs on the Fractal Forums posted this magnificent fractal cutlery set as a competition entry.

If it existed in real life, the set would include:

Cantor fork :: now you can pin a single kiwi seed. Twice in a row.
Recursive spoon :: it will never let you spill a drop of soup. Ever.
Koch knife :: to delicately cut hair-thin slices out of an egg. A raw egg.

The Infinity Set :: the set includes itself. As a subset.

Every piece of the set is inscribed with our Julia logo and our motto “The Infinities are Possible”. Limited quantities. Unlimited price. The kiwi, the drop of soup and the egg are not included in the box, but could be ordered separately.

The Bank of Ireland head office on Baggot Street, Dublin, designed by Ronnie Tallon, of architects Scott Tallon Walker

Plans by HKR Architects included proposals to add storeys and put an atrium over the central plaza…

…The proposed changes were rejected by Dublin City Council planners – who described it as “one of the most important Modernist buildings in Ireland”

It is considered that the proposed development would not protect the special character of the protected facade have a significant undesirable impact on the integrity and Miesian character of the complex”.

The Dublin building, whose two phases were completed in 1968 and 1978, has the same type of facade used on Mies van der Rohe’s 1950s Seagram Building in New York.

Almost universally loathed by the public and adored by architects, the Bank went to great lengths to build the project against the wishes of nearly everyone, including demolishing Georgian houses at 5am on a Sunday morning.
