I'm completely obsessed with these images of a performance that took place in Berlin — where a theater troupe used two huge marionette puppets to perform 'The Berlin Reunion' with an audience of 1.5 million onlookers. See more amazing photos at The Big Picture .

The German group Pundo 3000 has released a new set of photos illustrating how food packaging rarely reflects the look of the product inside. After making buzz with the photos last year, this video is a promotion for a book the group recently published.

Celebration, Florida is a “census-designated, master-planned community” owned by The Walt Disney Company as part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area. One homeless narcoleptic woman documents her adventures in this “paradise.” Maybe dreams really do come true (for narcoleptic hobos who fantasize about migrating south).

The Messenger probe has just sent back the most up-close images yet taken of Mercury. After passing just 125 miles above the surface of the closest planet to the sun, Messenger has already sent back some great photos (though I thought one side of the planet was perpetually in flames?).
