Man Creates Frozen Waterfall on Side of Building After Leaving Tap Running

By Melissa Knowles | Trending Now

A man in Jilin City, China, has shown the world what can happen if you leave the water running too long. Wen Hsu has lived on the seventh floor of his apartment building for 35 years, and when developers moved into the area seeking to tear down the building and turn the area into a shopping center, he was the only tenant who held out on selling.

Hsu, who is 58 years old, would not budge, because he said the developers were not offering him enough money to allow him to get another place. Because he was the sole remaining person in the building, and cold temperatures were fast approaching, he feared that with no one else living in the building, running their water or heating devices, the uninsulated pipes might freeze, and then he would be left without running water. Hsu came up with a way that he hoped would keep the pipes in the building from freezing.

He diverted a stream of warm water to run down the side of the structure, unintentionally creating a frozen waterfall. Hsu said of the dramatic effect, "The weather is warmer now, so there is no danger of the pipes freezing -- although I think it might take a while for the waterfall to melt." He may not have to wait long, because the sight of the frozen waterfall is drawing a lot of attention -- including from the developers, who the local government has urged to offer him more money to make this dispute melt away.

Hsu's response to the possibility of a better offer: "I hope so. It is very lonely here in my apartment with nobody else around."

Diner Makes Burger So Spicy Customers Need To Sign Disclaimer

“A Bristol diner has produced a burger so spicy that those wanting to order it must prove they are over 18 and also sign a disclaimer. The Atomic Fallout Pizza burger requires consumers to wear protective gloves and comes drenched in a sauce that’s made from two of the fieriest chillies in the world, the Scotch Bonnet and Naga Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Chilli). The combination of spices means the sauce measures in on the Scoville Scale at an eye watering 1million units. Not only is the sandwich spicy, it also packs in a considerable amount of calories.”

Funny signs from around the world

Signs can be our biggest allies; they can also lead us far astray. Either way, we rely on them heavily—especially in unfamiliar places—so we take care to read every word. And sometimes, what we see is, well, hilarious.

Whether the language is unintentionally misleading or lost in translation, or an illustration isn’t quite right, it makes for a shareable moment. So the camera comes out and the photo goes up—on our social media profiles, Flickr pages, blogs, and the community section of TravelandLeisure.com. We pulled the photos from T+L members that made us laugh, in hopes that they’d work the same magic on you.

Some signs have questionable (or no) punctuation; others are meant to be funny. And some are just downright strange. All of them make our journey more interesting—and amusing.
