Blue lobster? Crazy.
Rare blue lobster caught in P.E.I.
Prince Edward Island fisherman Blair Doucette has seen many different colours of lobsters — bright red, orange, yellow-red — in his 35-year career, but none like the rare blue lobster he caught on Wednesday. The extremely uncommon pigment is the outcome of a genetic disorder. (Photo: Karen George)

He who lives in an awesome colored glass house, is better off than those in the big boring brick buildings. - lickystickypickymeNew York artist Tom Fruin’s outdoor sculpture Kolonihavehus in the plaza of the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen.
Fruin’s sculpture is constructed of a thousand reclaimed pieces of plexiglass ranging in size from 2x2 to 24x36 inches. They originate from many sources, including a closed- down plexi distributorship near Copenhagen, a framing shop, the basement of the Danish State Art Workshops, and the dumpsters outside the Danish Architecture Center.
Kolonihavehuses were originally small garden sheds that were designed to give cramped and often impoverished city-dwellers a small plot and a refuge from city life.
