Comfy IKEA Train Makes Me Want to Move to the Subway

IKEA has outfitted a train in Kobe with sofas and curtains—probably with names like Oompa-loompa, Svenssonjohansensson, Frida, and Bucarest.

Puppies Taking Advantage of Mass Transit

Get out of the way, everybody, here come the puppies! On a monorail! They even look like they're enjoying it, too. Built by their handy master, James Horecka, a couple of them are apparently wondering how easy it would be to jump off. What started out as a joke turned into a weekend project for Horecka, who built the small train "Hollywood style" as he called it, where there's not really a curcuit of track, just what you see here.
