"View Suspended is a stunning art installation created from the thousands of parts that make up a Honda Racing F1 car. Each of the 3200 parts of the Formula 1 car are suspended on fine wires to produce a 3D 'exploded diagram' that allows race fans the chance to get closer than ever to the engineering secrets of the world's most technically-advanced sport."
787 pieces of clipart have been strung together to form this animation.
God, I hate Rainforest Cafe.
"A shiv is a weapon crafted from the limited resources of a prisoner's closed world. Crudely constructed from such things as spoons, shoelaces and upholstery tacks, shivs lie somewhere between the graceful and the grotesque. They're primitive, too - like outsider art, but produced deep on the inside."
This is what it looks like to see a space shuttle docked outside your window while orbiting the Earth in a space station.

DoodleBug is a community designed to share, well, doodles. They've got a neat Flash system in place that lets you see the doodles as an animation during their creation, and have put the best of them in this hall of fame.
Related: This concept isn't entirely new. We featured this incredible animation of a women being drawn from the inside out a couple of years ago. Possibly 18+.

Here's what a turret looks like the moment it's fired.
Update: Here's another angle of the same shot. Thanks to all the people in the comments section for trying to determine the validity of this image, setting me straight on what kind of gun this is, and finding the second image.

"In 2001 I met a burn survivor who allowed me to photograph her. She told me that she wanted to be photographed so that people could stare at her without feeling embarrassed. It was such an extraordinary experience that a few months later I flew to a burn conference and set up a makeshift studio in a hotel room, and asked people to let me know if they would like their portraits made. I was astonished at how many people did."

"Even on a normal day, our Sun is sizzling ball of seething hot gas. Unpredictably, regions of strong and tangled magnetic fields arise, causing sunspots and bright active regions."
Of all the questionable attempts at art that we feature around here, this one might be my favorite.
Photographer Arin Ahnell has come up with a interesting concept. Instead of using Photoshop to alter the look of his images, he uses these odd things called "filters" that attach to the end of his lenses, giving the photographs an otherworldly appearance. Amazing!
It looks a little bit like a terrible monster.
For troubleshooting espresso shots that aren't coming out right, some people will use a tool called a "bottomless portafilter." This will show how the shots are forming and pouring, revealing any tamping issues may cause an uneven pour. Heavy users of this device have been chopping off the bottoms of their portafilters for every day use, revealing an interesting glimpse into the creation of espresso.
Here's a couple of videos of this device in action.
You can do some very interesting (and creepy) things with landscape photography when you get creative with an infrared filter.
