Do you remember the miniature meat house? Well the crazy folks behind it couldn't leave well enough alone and have done it again. Only this time instead of a simple abode, they've created a sea-faring meat vessel.

Their nearly meat creation — they used some pastry, along with onions and mushrooms on this one — contains 20 sausages, 48 slices of bacon, 1.2 kg of sausage meat, 10 hot dogs, and more. There are pics of the entire process, but the best part is that they filmed the entire building process and have created a time-lapse video of the whole thing.

We wrapped up our travels in Hawaii with aquatic life, and I stumbled upon some great tips for choosing a whale-watching tour no matter where you are. First and foremost, please remember you are getting the lucky opportunity to spot these creatures in their natural environment and you should never do anything to put them in jeopardy. Before making the pick, ask yourself if the tour operators are putting the animal first and not making any promises (i.e., money-back guarantee) that could cause them to take unnecessary risks. In addition to doing your research (and asking for recommendations), consider the following questions:

• Why are they doing this? Check the training of the crew members – you're there to learn and it's important to know about their training, study, research participation, and length of experience observing whales before you set sail.
• How much time do they dedicate? You'll want to book a trip that brings the whale watching front and center. It's a good sign when the company actually works in whale research year-round and makes that the primary focus of their business – and not just making it a seasonal alternative to a diving or cruise business.
