They say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. That observation has never been truer when it comes to model Kaia Gerber and her famous mom in the biz. Supermodel Cindy Crawford has truly created a mini-me on the right here, as anyone can see!

By now, most people have heard the theory that birds evolved from dinosaurs. It sounds farfetched, or even downright bizarre. But looking at this closeup of an emu and a dino foot — is it, really?

The disaster now simply known as Chernobyl made international news, back in the day. It has since inspired a popular HBO miniseries and scared the life out of a whole new generation. Just how realistic was it, though?

After WWII, Germany has plenty of struggles. The division of the world between the Soviets and the West actually led to half of Germany being walled off.

The Eiffel Tower has got to be the most famous landmark in France today. Many may not know it was intended to be temporary, as a part of the World’s Fair of 1889. Folks back then had the sense to leave a good thing alone — for the most part.

Grand Theft Auto has been a controversial game for as long as it’s been around. Parents just weren’t keen on all the violence, and still don’t seem to love that part. All that has changed is the quality of the graphics. Now, street crime is in HD!

Sure, he’s always going to be known as Mr. Harry Potter. But that hasn’t stopped Daniel Radcliffe from at least trying to pursue more artsy aims.

The person photographed here suffers from a condition called Raynaud’s disease, which takes effect in cold temperatures or stress. Parts of the person’s body, like their fingers and in this case, toes, start to feel numb and cold to the touch – and look halfway frozen if you ask us. Get this man a pair of warm socks, his big toe looks like it’s about to freeze off. Yikes!

This little girl went through something called guided growth surgery to fix had knees, which were quite visibly deformed. On the left, we see her before the operation.

One day, when she’s older, those plates will be removed, and the only evidence of the operation will be some minor scarring.

Obviously one telltale sign would be the difference in hair color.

We’re not sure why the eye color needed updating, but maybe it would have been too much contrast against the blonder hair.
