South Korea to Build ‘Invisible’ Skyscraper

While burgeoning cities across the globe ostentatiously display their glitzy skyscrapers — from Dubai’s Burj Khalifa to Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Towers — Incheon has something else in mind: putting a 450-meter-high building into stealth mode.

According to California-based GDS Architects, the South Korean government approved this fall the construction of City Tower (unofficially called “Tower Infinity”), a skyscraper that uses LEDs to project the image of the sky from behind it, as captured by cameras on the other side. The result is no less than amusing: a structure that seemingly disappears from Incheon’s skyline.

But critics argue that its location, 18 miles west of Seoul, but just a few miles east of Korea’s busiest airport, raises concerns about flight safety. However, Korea Land & Housing Corporation downplayed any risks the spectacle might pose in the Korean skies.

Witnesses say they saw the cow plunge into the water and swimming all the way to a small uninhabited island. The farmer and his farmhands spent a week t...

A PET rabbit has shocked a family   after it grew a giant cross in the middle of its forehead, causing them to question if their pet is Jesus reincarnated. To the surprise of her owners the rabbit, known as Fluff, grew the unusual pattern just before Christmas. The pet’s head now looks like a hot crossed bun. Kate Hazel, 51, said the holy symbol had the whole family speculating what it meant. She said: “We’ve been wondering if it’s the second coming of Jesus...in rabbit form...in our garden in a rabbit hutch.  “My daughter Rosa said, ‘Mum, Fluff’s turning into the Baby Jesus’.” "I had a look and it was really pronounced. It didn't come gradually, just suddenly, one day; she had a cross in the middle of her forehead.
