Created by American artist, Paul McCarthy, the piece named "Complex Shit" is a giant inflatable dog turd featured in Zentrum Paul Klee Art Museum, Switzerland.
The art piece is the size of a house and was part of the "East
of Eden: A Garden Show" exhibit. It was carried by a gust of strong wind few
months ago, took down a power line, and broke someone's window. A real case of shit hit the fan (or power line).

Researchers believe that the original project ran out of funding, so they hired a skillful painter to paint the fake dome.

Located in Hokkaido, Wakayama and Gunma in Japan, it's a stretch of pavement
that plays music when you drive over it.
The pavements are cut into patterns designed to play a series of notes when
car goes by. The optimum speed for the music is 28 mph.
There used to be one in Lancaster, California where you can drive over it at
50 mph. It was built by Honda, but was paved over few weeks ago due to
safety concerns (accidents so far: NONE).
Here's the Japanese one:
And for memories, here's the Lancaster, California one:
