London Has an Impossibly Weird House That Defies Physics

Britons strolling past 1-7 Ashwin Street this week are no doubt getting the heaving heebie-jeebies from an other-dimensional house squatting on a formerly vacant lot. The domicile sports a normal Victorian facade; the only trouble is it appears to be a super-strong magnet for flesh, with people scurrying up and down its facade like round-headed chimps.

Did somebody drop acid into London's water supply? No need to grab your "go bags," holders of physics Ph.Ds: This mind-warping house is only an illusion created by Argentina's Leandro Erlich. The artist has positioned a fake exterior horizontally on the ground and propped a huge mirror above it at a 45 degree angle. Pedestrians seeking a bit of fun can plod across the facade to make it look like they're wearing Velcro shoes, or pretend to dangle from windowsills like the kitten on that iconic motivational poster.
