Replaceable blades on a box cutter Lots of people don’t really know that a dulled blade of a box cutter can be broken off to get a new and sharp one. It’s not dangerous if done correctly: let the dulled blade out, take off the clipper, fix the blade with a hole in the clipper, and break it off easily. A switch on the rearview mirror This is a day/night switch that protects the driver from being blinded by the headlights of a car behind them at night. Rearview mirrors have a double reflective coating that you can switch by pressing the button. This trick will be especially useful for novice drivers. http://izismile.com/2017/03/29/nobody_really_knows_why_these_things_look_this_way_10_pics.html 1 Like

A square patch on a backpack Many backpacks have this small leather patch on them. It’s actually quite useful when you’re camping: you could let ropes and hooks through it. Today, it’s mostly an accessory. A hole between the camera lens and flash on iPhones Few people know this little hole is actually an auxiliary microphone. It makes the sound on recordings clearer, helps Siri understand accents,and reduces the noise captured by the main mic. The number 57 on Heinz ketchup bottles It may seem to be a part of the design or the number of ingredients used. However, if you tilt the bottle and hit it with your palm on the number when ketchup doesn’t flow, you’re in for a big surprise. A code on makeup bottles Any cosmetics package, be it eye shadow or powder, contains this small open container symbol, labeled 6M, 12M, or 24M. This labeling indicates the shelf life of the product in months. A simple trick: write down the date after which your makeup will become useless by adding the number of months to the date of opening.

Pom-pom on a cap Pom-poms are generally perceived as an accessory today, but their history dates back as far as the 18th century. Back then, French sailors wore hats with pom-poms to protect their heads from bumping on low deck ceilings. Later, different army suits included caps with pom-poms, and you could tell the military service by their shape and color. A square hole in the Chupa Chups stick It’s not to save a child from choking, as many believe: that’s what the empty length of the stick is for. The side hole is made to keep the candy onthe holder. When it’s dipped into the liquid candy, the hole is filled first, making the whole sweet sit tightly on top. Creases on pants If you guessed they weren’t a purposeful stylish addition, then you were right. At the end of the 19th century, European clothing factories exported most of their produce abroad, and to make the most of the cargo hold space, the clothes were pressed down before shipping. The resulting creases on pants were almost impossible to get rid of. Later, they just became fashionable. A "pocket" in ladies’ panties The inner layer both in men’s and women’s underwear has to be made of a special soft material. Ladies’ panties, however, are made so that both seams can’t be inside, so one of them is not sewn, resulting in this "pocket." So now you know you shouldn’t put anything in there. 1 Like

Here's a closer look at the residential section. Opened in 2007, the Parque Biblioteca España in Medellín, Colombia, was designed by the Colombian architect Giancarlo Mazzanti. The three buildings are meant to look like stones ... From inside the library, in the Santo Domingo Savio neighborhood, the view is of Medellín itself,in a valley surrounded by the Andes. Sydney's Opera House is the rightful ambassador of Australian architecture.

Today, some of the most experimental modern architecture in the world is being built in Beijing, like the CCTV Tower, locally known as "The Trousers." With Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the late Zaha Hadid did what she could only ever do — turn the hard, clean lines of modernism into something organic. Perched high in the Peruvian Andes, Machu Picchu is the best example we have of Incan architecture. Archaeologists say it was built around 1450.

The Imperial Palace — aka the Forbidden City — is the ultimate form of high Chinese architecture. It was the seat of government from 1420 to 1912. The interior remains epic ... ... as do the details.

Its interior features more than 20,000 handmade tiles. Neuschwanstein Castle in the German state of Bavaria reportedly inspired Walt Disney to create Sleeping Beauty's castle. It's easy to see why. Trinity College in Dublin is a gem of a university. It has the prototypical library, the most stunning section of which is called, fittingly enough, the Long Room.

The whimsical Pompidou Center in Paris is a postmodern masterwork: It gleefully displays the guts of the building. Built around 1200, the Chartes Cathedral in northern France is a primary example of Gothic architecture. Notice the ornate "portals" that you enter into the building through ... ... and the stunning organ inside. Perhaps the only house of worship that can match its grandeur is the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, built in the early 1600s at the height of the Ottoman Empire.

Integrating into the environment is one of the oldest ideals of architecture. The old Japanese capital Kyoto features the breathtaking Golden Pavilion ... ... and the more subtly stunning Silver Pavilion. The Great Mosque of Djenné in Mali is the largest mud-built structure in the world — it can hold 3,000 worshippers. Not to be outdone, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, located in Abu Dhabi, opened 10 years ago and has become the premier place of worship in the UAE.

The Church of St. George in Lalibela, Ethiopia, was carved out of a single stone in the 12th century. Some of the most beautiful buildings integrate into their landscape. The Turninn building in Reykjavík reflects the wild beauty of Iceland. The modernist master Mies van der Rohe used minimal lines and open space to create buildings that seemingly float in the air around them, like the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, built in the 1960s. Berlin is also home to the Mecca of electronic music: the brutalist masterstroke Berghain.

Also surrounded by green is the Light of Life Church in Seoul, South Korea. On the inside, the church looks completely different. Chicago's Marina City apartments are, to say the least, uniquely designed. Built in 1964, they were one of the first mixed-use buildings and the first to be built with a crane in the US. But not all buildings need to scrape the sky. The Temppeliaukio Church in Helsinki is built into a rock underground and still gets lots of sunlight.

... and the interior is even more surreal. The Flatiron Building in New York was one of the first skyscrapers ... ... as was the moody Woolworth Building, which was the tallest building in the world from 1913 to 1930. In Onomichi, Japan, couples frequently turn to the Ribbon Chapel for their wedding ceremonies — and understandably so.

It is the center of the Sikh Faith, and it's lustrous at night. If you can stomach the journey there, the Taktsang Palphug Monastery is a worthy destination. It is tucked away on a rockface in Bhutan's Paro Valley. The Las Lajas Sanctuary in Narino, Colombia, is equally mystifying. It looks like it defies gravity. The modernist architect Antoni Gaudí didn't live to see his Sagrada Família completed — in fact, it's still being built. The exterior looks like something out of Narnia ...

The oldest building we know of is Göbekli Tepe in present-day Turkey. Built somewhere around 9500 B.C., archaeologists aren't certain of its function, but it was probably religious. Since then, humans have built some pretty incredible structures. In the past couple years, we've seen futuristic openings like the Fulton Center in New York ... ... and the Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School in Melbourne, Australia. The Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, is a stunning structure that seems to have been dropped right in the middle of the Amritsar River.
