The largest U.S. bill in circulation is the hundred dollar bill, and it takes 10,000 of those to make one million dollars. But it needs also as much space as 10 thousand 1 dollar bills. So here is a little experiment with 10,000 of 1 dollar bill. Let's see how much space would a million dollars take up and where you could hide it.

Potholes are annoying and destructive. They can wreck your car’s suspension, distract cyclists and worst of all, running into one can make you spill your latte all over your freshly cleaned suit.

However, like with everything else, some happy do-gooders are making lemons out of lemonade. After Davide Luciano and Claudia Ficca, artists from Montreal, had to pay $600 in car repairs from hitting a pothole; they decided to make potholes the theme for their next photography project.

What happened next was creative, inspiring and will make you look at potholes a little differently from now on. They staged photography around the potholes by creating interesting scenes. Their work has become so popular that they have now photographed potholes in not only Montreal, but New York City and Los Angeles. This is a small sampling of their work.

Have an eye on pictures below and let us know what do you think.

Buttefly Kids suffer on a disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa (short: EB). Even with the slightest friction this disease can cause painful blisters on the entire body: both externally (skin, eyes, etc.) and internally (such as inside the mouth or in the gastro-intestinal tract). Those with EB are living with permanent pain and undergo daily difficult wound treatment.

DEBRA Austria offers help, counselling and information to those, whose quality of life is significantly limited by this rare disease that has serious consequences and is often very painful.
