Crazy House

The official name is Hang Nga Guesthouse and Gallery, but apparently everyone in Dalat, Viet Nam just call it the Crazy House. The base of the house is an actual tree and it’s quite fanciful and Gaudi-like. Apparently, the architect is a woman whose father used to be president of Viet Nam.

Designer Dog Burns Down Kitchen

A pet dog caused £30,000 of damage when it turned on its owner's cooker and burnt down the kitchen.

 

Skylar, a three-year-old 'goldendoodle', apparently started a kitchen fire when she tried to jump on the stove to get left-over pizza.

 

It happened after her owner Fred Haines left his home in Naperville, Illinois, to go to work, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

 

The designer pooch, a cross between a golden retreiver and a poodle, is believed to have switched on a hob which ignited the cardboard underneath the pizza.

Airbus Offers Standing Room 'Seats'

Airlines are reportedly considering making sure their passengers, not just their tray tables, are in the upright and locked position.

Aircraft maker Airbus is in discussions with its customers about possibly having a standing room "seat" to fit even more passengers on its jets, according to a published report.

The New York Times reports that the European aircraft maker has quietly pitched the standing-room-only option to Asian carriers, though none have agreed to it yet. The paper, quoting experts who have seen a proposal, reports that if the standing room option is used, passengers would be propped against a padded backboard, held in place with a harness.
