1 . The Longyou Grotto Caves Located in Zhejiang, China the Longyou caves are 36 underground grottos measuring 30,000 square miles. Dating back to at least the Qin Dynasty in 250BCE, the grottos were found submerged in water but perfectly preserved. There's no record of their construction or mention of them in documentation from that time period. Their purpose and usage are unknown. While its has been hypothesized that they were catacombs there are no spaces dedicated for burial and there's no signs of anyone ever living there. 2. The Voynich Manuscript Named for Wilfrid Voynich, the man who discovered this book in Italy, the Voynich Manuscript has stumped scholars since the early 1900s.

This is a series of photos of dad Chris Martin recreating his daughter’s selfies. It is hysterical. Well, to everyone except for his daughter. Her reaction is probably more along the lines of “DaAAaAAAaaaAAAaaAAd! Stop ruining my LIFE!” and throwing herself on her bed dramatically. As one does in a situation such as this. We’ve all been there. See more of Chris on his Instagram page HERE

The Jiaozhou Bay bridge in China has just been completed and it is 26.4 miles long, the length of a marathon. For reference, that is a long-ass bridge. It’s actually the world’s longest-ass sea bridge (official title). The bridge is supported by over 5,000 pillars and took 4 years to build. That’s really something when you consider I am supported by a sleeping bag on the floor and it’s taken me twice as long to not complete this jigsaw puzzle. I need to reevaluate my life.
