Avert your eyes from the real estate agent’s gaze! Do not look upon the agent’s glorious visage! Cower, puny ones, cower!

Can Withstand Hurricanes And Tornados But Not Plasma Weapons

Run! It’s Gigantor, emerging from the Earth! Um… and looking for his nose. OK, maybe it’s Optimus Prime. Still, whichever giant robot it is, would you want to stick around?

(“Energy efficient dome house able to withstand hurricanes and tornados,” sez the ever-so-helpful real estate agent. Because when you live in Maine, those are biiiiig concerns.)

Loveliest comment, by s2: Thats just all painters tape. They don’t want to get any paint on the rest of the house when they paint the garage door.

Beat this, Dyson.

Brilliant! You get one fan turning counterclockwise to create cool air over by the closet; another fan turning clockwise by the stairs to form a warm front moving in; and voila! An interior tornado, just right for pulling stubborn dirt and stains out of your rug!

I’m not sure what the third fan is for — that seems a little silly. Plus I’m unsure about the purpose of the dwarf mine elevator.

But oooh! While looking up mine elevators to see if they had some fancy name I could casually slip in (MERLONS!), I found this amazing page. Check out these illustrations! I wonder if the Mine Safety and Health Administration would mind if I took a few? I’m sure they wouldn’t. They seem like a lighthearted bunch.

OK, this has absolutely nothing to do with real estate. Sorry. Maybe I need to do spin-off blog of illustrations from official U.S. Department of Labor publications. Your tax dollars at work, Mr. and Mrs. America!

Clearly the seller of this house is Erin Andrews.

Oh God, this is awful. I make an Erin Andrews reference and I link to the New York Post. What’s wrong with me? What? Why didn’t I go with the Kramer joke? Oh, I am filled with shame…

Funny-Real Estate-Photo-UnansweredQuestions

You might think that arch-villains always live in underground lairs, or on top of volcanoes. But no. Some live in pleasant three-bedroom suburban brick houses, and the only way you can tell the homeowners are bad guys is by reading subtle clues.

Your neighbor might actually be your secret nemesis. Learn to spot the evildoers today!
