To add to our collection of dolphin-shaped things from last week, here’s the Ile du Golfe off the south coast of Tasmania which looks astonishingly like (you guessed it), an absolutely gigantic dolphin.

More on the Maatsuyker Islands, of which the Ile du Golfe is part.

Thanks to Murphy.

Oh dear, it seems the workers at Southwest Office Systems in Fort Worth have been attacked by Zombies, and in their desperation have painted “SOS” on the rooftop. Maybe someone should go and rescue them?

If you do valiantly go to slay some undead then I’d watch out for Spanish nerd zombies – the trapped also wrote “Vaya Con Dios”, meaning “Go With God” and “Sharp”, a well-known calculator manufacturer.

In the hills over Afghanistan a man named Omar has very kindly chosen to let the whole world know exactly where he is standing. Just to the left of the arrow under the giant word “ME“.

Omar is probably also responsible for the nearby large type stating “NO DRUGS“; a worthwhile message as (since the Taliban were toppled in 2001), worldwide drug use has soared, and Afganhistan is on its way back to once again becoming the world’s largest heroin producer.

Take your pick from either a pool of dolphins or a dolphin-shaped pool.

The image of dolphins in a pool was captured from Google Earth, where you can also clearly make out a crowd gathered round a dolphin at the side of the pool, possibly being fed by a keeper.

If you prefer your dolphin in the wild, then perhaps Australia would be a better bet?

Thanks to Chris Thompson, Noel Ballantyne and woowoowoo.

Despite looking like one of M.C. Escher’s impossible creations, Kubuswoning is actually just a very unusual housing block in the Netherlands. Meaning “Cube houses” in English, this Rotterdam landmark was designed by Piet Blom in the early 80s, and is contructed around the tradional cube shape that usually forms a house, but titled through 45 degrees and rested upon a hexagon-shaped pylon.

There’s 32 cubes altogether, and the whole thing looks completely bizarre from above. If you’re still confused, you get a much better idea of what you’re looking at from ground and roof level photos.

For more info in your language, see the English or Dutch Wikipedia pages.
