EARL HAMNER RECALLS HIS MAN AND DOG
STORY
World-famous writer and
TV producer Earl Hamner, now 82, has told us how he came
to write his memorable story about the man and his dog
wanting to enter Heaven. His description is just as
heart-warming as the usually anonymous story which for 40
years has charmed countless readers around the world.

3D ARTISTS'
DAZZLING DISPLAY OF DEPTH
Thousands of pedestrians
in the real world, and millions of surfers on the Internet
have been astonished by remarkable 3D drawings made by two
talented pavement (sidewalk) artists, Kurt Wenner of the
US and Julian Beever of the UK. It's almost impossible to
believe their works are actually presented on a flat
surface.

FUNNY DUNNY IN KAWAKAWA
When tourists flock to the remote
New Zealand town of Kawakawa, they head for the public
toilet, not so much to use its facilities as to gaze in
awe at the building's unique architecture and bizarre
artwork. It's a lasting memorial to a gifted but eccentric
Austrian designer and artist, Frederick Hundertwasser
(born Friedrich Stowasser) who, after visiting New Zealand
in 1970 to exhibit his work, decided to settle in that
country.
