Women boxing on a rooftop 1938, original b&w and colorized version- Judging from they're all wearing dance shoes, most likely members of a variety show. Reliable air conditioning was rare then so being on the roof was preferable to a stuffy theatre. The photo was taken on the top of Ball Building, Paramount lot, Hollywood. Even if it is staged, it’s still historical.

Chevy Vegas being shipped by train in the 70s. To do this, Vega engineers had to design a special engine oil baffle to prevent oil from entering the No. 1 cylinder, batteries had filler caps located high up on the rear edge of the case to prevent acid spilling, the carburetor float bowl had a special tube that drained gasoline into the vapor canister during shipment, and the windshield washer bottle stood at a 45 degree angle. Plastic spacers were wedged in beside the powertrain to prevent damage to engine and transmission mounts. The wedges were removed when cars were unloaded.

Diminish and Ascend, AKA "Stairway To Heaven" is a sculptural installation by Australian artist David McCracken. It appears to be a long climb to the top that goes beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, it is nothing more than an optical illusion.

Ulnar dimelia or mirror hand syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of the upper limb characterized by absence of the radial ray (including thumb), duplication of the ulna and duplication of the ulnar halves of the carpals, metacarpals and phalanges 1. Mirrored fingers generally aren’t individually articulated, and if you move one the opposite finger will move the same. Apparently they also share the same nerve reactions.

The World's Largest Sunfish - discovered by Miguel Pereira off the coast in Portugal. These divers got the surprise of a lifetime during a recent dive off the coast of Portugal: An encounter with a giant Mola mola fish. They are considered elusive and one of the strangest bony fish found in the ocean. They can grow 14 feet tall and ten-foot-wide, weighing nearly 5000 pounds and survive on a diet of the main jellyfish.
