Strawberry Crab...............





Marine biologists from the National Taiwan Ocean University discovered a new species of crab off the southern Taiwanese coast. With a bright red shell covered with small white spots, the crab resembles a large strawberry. Scientists at the University say that the newly discovered species is similar to the previously discoveredNeoliomera pubescens, which is native to the waters near Hawaii, Polynesia and Mauritius--but has a broader (1 inch), clam-shaped shell that makes it a distinct new species.


Watermelon Bus Stop......



I like the watermelon and bus bus stops, too.

Strawberry bus stop in Japan




This ridiculously wonderful strawberry bus stop makes me so happy! I don’t know what’s so charming about miniature and giant things, but this is great.

Strawberry Mouth....




This ridiculously wonderful strawberry mouth ohh no!






What a huge strawberry!!! There is a city near Porto Alegre, called Bom PrincĂ­pio (or Good Begining - if we speak in english), at southern Brazil, who's known as the Strawberry's National City. They have an annuall festival occuring on October that celebrates this fruit. By the way, answering the questions: unfortunatelly, the second floor is just a bureau. Sad, isn't it?
Well, this is the city gate. It's such a kitsch that I found interesting. Big, isn't it?
What could be more appropriate - the World's Largest Strawberry at SWhat could be more appropriate - the World's Largest Strawberry at Strawberry Point, Iowa. According to some early press, after it's initial installation iat the city offices, the strawberry fell from it's photogenic perch in a high wind. Originally a JayCees project (what exactly are jay-cees, anyway? I know what they do, just not why they're called what they're called... UPDATE - Junior Chamber of Commerce - J.C.- JayCees!), the city spent a pretty penny getting the strawberry back to it's original glory.

Baby Chocolates Are Scary......




It's a baby (complete with a hose bigger than mine) made entirely of chocolate. I think the hair is a little suspect, but what do I know?
