Coolest tree-houses ever built

As a kid I’m sure you’ve all shared my dream of having a small tree-house all to myself.

Unfortunately I never got mine but as I look at this dream I can’t help but admire their craftsmanship, I wish I had one of these tree-houses as a grown-up, they’re simply amazing. I wonder if they’re for sale.

Elvis and others meet their matches!

Love me tinder... Red hot model of Elvis Presley made of matches

It is a striking likeness. But beware. Just one stray spark and Elvis becomes a hunk-a-hunk of burning love.

The image of Elvis Presley, along with Marilyn Monroe, Mao Tse Tung, Muhammad Ali and Buddha are the work of Scottish artist David Mach.

It took him more than 500 hours and 1,000 boxes of coloured-tip matches imported from Japan to complete the 2ft Presley sculpture. Each match was glued on to a glass fibre mould.

He also made four smaller Elvis heads, each using around 15,000 coloured matches.

Some like it hot: Matchstick Marilyn Monroe

The big Elvis piece has been sold for £18,000.

Boxing match: Muhammad Ali

He produces his matchstick pieces with the help of his wife Lesley and a team of ten artists.

Keeper of the flame: The Buddha

The couple discovered the spectacle of the heads bursting into flames when one accidentally caught fire.

Chinese cracker: Mao Tse Tung

5 Classics Written Under the Influence

5 Classics Written Under the Influence

1. Collected Poetry, Li Po (701 - 762)

One of the best of the T'ang dynasty poets in seventh-century China, Li Po wrote many poems about drinking.

alcohol has two functions. First of all, it brings friends together to sing, to reminisce

Second, it acts as a muse, a way to relax and release the poet into fantasies and meditations

2. "Kubla Khan," Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834)

After smoking opium, Coleridge fell asleep, and when he awoke he was on fire with images.

The result is one of the wildest, most puzzling poems of all time.

3. The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961)

Like many famous writers, Hemingway battled alcoholism all his life. In The Sun Also Rises, one of his best novels, almost every character drinks continually.

4. Being and Nothingness, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905 - 1980)

Sartre apparently was a big ingester of mescaline to get him, er, up to speed.

5. Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs (1914 - 1997)

Burroughs was

heroin addict
