WTF? Huge car-vending machine in China – customer inserts coins and out pops a car

Car vending machine in China (Kandi Pure Electric Vehicles)

Can’t say we blame them. With some of the worst pollution and only 10% of the population owning cars, a vending machine that dispenses cheap electric rental cars seems like a no-brainer to us. Wait a minute – a *vending machine* that dispense cars?!?! In Hangzhou, China, citizens walk up to the multi-story Kandi Car…

Devil’s Kettle waterfall mystery – river water plunges into abyss and nobody knows where it goes.

The Devil's Kettle, an odd formation at a waterfall on the Brule River a little ways above Lake Superior.

Off a scenic Minnesota highway is a freak of nature that doesn’t take a pair of binoculars or hours of silent stalking to spot. The Devil’s Kettle Falls is located on the Brule River where the river forks at a rock outcropping to form two waterfalls. The eastern flow is pretty normal – it plunges…

“Island of the Dolls” – site of little girl’s death is adorned with hundreds of creepy, dead-eyed dolls hanging from the trees.

Creepy doll head on Mexico's Island of the Dolls

Houstin Hotel ZaZa room 322 2-way mirror

The mysterious Room 322 inside Hotel ZaZa in Houston, Texas is not listed for rent but was exposed in February 2013 when a travelling business customer was accidentally placed in the room by mistake and quickly took pictures of the room which, with cold dirty concrete floors, chains on the walls, skull and bones paintings,…

Forgotten migrant workers live cheaply in bizarre Chinese “shipping container city”.

China shipping containers used as homes near Shanghai

Soaring property values in China have some Chinese living like hamsters in tall stacks of shipping containers. For less than $80 a month, rural migrants can rent out a stark steel metal container on the outskirts of Shanghai. In 2001, officials tore down a similar container village in Pudong, consisting of over 100 “homes”, because…

NICK BEEF mystery solved – the man behind (not under) the gravestone located next to Lee Harvey Oswald’s.

Oswald and Nick Beef headstones

For years, curiosity seekers visiting the grave of Lee Harvey Oswald have wondered about the near identical headstone next door, marked “NICK BEEF”.

Shutdown in 1989 because it was so dangerous, these photos show why Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was closed.

Books from Geek Slop Publishing

Living Truth Bible Study Guides

Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.

Chronicles of Enigma

While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
