While the vast majority of Japanese medical device designs are insightful, beneficial and, er, normal, a rare few stand out by virtue of their extreme niche applications and distinctive attributes such as borderline inappropriate cuteness.

Probably the most famous statue of Jesus on the planet, known for both size and location, is the statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (pictured above). You would be forgiven for thinking that this was the largest statue of Jesus in the world too – yet you would be mistaken. The Jesus who towers above the Corcovado mountain overlooking Rio is only the fourth largest statue of the Christ on Earth. Take a look at some of the others - they get bigger as you go along.

High walls, gates and barbed wire surround the abandoned old building. Floorboards creak, branches scrape against dirty windows, and encroaching weeds creep inside. It’s not surprising that the site doesn’t attract many visitors, and intrepid explorers are likely to find themselves alone, except for creepy reminders of the facility’s former occupants, including an imposing mosaic of a Nazi eagle – a symbol of Hitler’s Third Reich – and Cold War-era Russian newspapers.

Ta Prohm is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Located approximately one kilometer east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray near Tonle Bati, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found. Huge trees, reminiscent of ancient redwoods and oaks, are blended into the walls, and rocks hugging the giant roots gives the temple a surreal appearance. The photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.

Mother Nature is sometimes confused. Not all pets are cute, sometimes they can look very strange and ugly, and often we start to love them as such, because they are different. Here are some nasty pets that look exactly like that.

Flying can be a white-knuckle affair for even the heartiest of travelers. But it turns out what you should really fear are airports; almost 60 percent of all aircraft incidents happen there during taxiing, take-off, approach or landing.

Many frogs contain mild toxins that make them unpalatable to potential predators. Some of them, such as some poison dart frogs, are especially toxic. The chemical makeup of toxins in frogs varies from irritants to hallucinogens, convulsants, nerve poisons, and vasoconstrictors. Many predators of frogs have adapted to tolerate high levels of these poisons. Others, including humans, may be severely affected.

Walk around Paris’ La Défense district and you can’t miss it. Like a giant stick of candy, Cheminée Moretti dominates its surroundings deliciously. Designed by late French artist Raymond Moretti, it reaches towards the clouds like a rainbow-colored skyscraper – albeit with no doors or windows. Also known simply as Le Moretti, the structure was completed in 1990 and inaugurated in 1995.
