Unusual Life

This floating swimming pool in the river is called the Badeschiff (that’s German for “bathing ship”) this floating swimming pool is really just an old barge transformed into a public pool last year in Berlin, on the Spree river. Unfortunately, the river itself is much too polluted for people to swim in, so this idea, as crazy as it looks, makes some sense.

It was first spotted in 2007, during a very hot Summer and during the off-season it’s covered and closed to the public. But the hot Summer is here again and the Germans in Berlin will once again be able to enjoy a swim in the cool water of the Badeschiff. Would’ve been cool if it had a glass bottom though, so you could see the river.

McDonald’s #1 Store Museum in Des Plaines, Ill.

Get a real taste for nostalgia at the McDonald’s #1 Store museum. The red-and-white-tiled museum in suburban Chicago recreates the first McDonald’s restaurant, opened by Ray Kroc on April 15, 1955. The entrance sign is original, as is much of the kitchen equipment once used for making burgers, fries and milkshakes. Plus, an all-male crew of mannequins dressed in vintage uniforms stands ready to take your order.
