Rome, Italy--Today a giant baby burst from the Roman Forum. Authorities are unsure how he got so big, or why he was underground at the historical site. After destroying several columns and Smart Cars, the baby proceeded to eat the entire city supply of oatmeal. The US Department of State issued a travel warning for US citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to Rome, unless they were carrying large amounts of the cereal. Roman officials appealed to the baby to cease destruction of monuments and puny vehicles. No word yet on exactly who will change his size 763 diapers.

Sunset behind the Rome Street Gasworks, Carlisle, on 6th December 2010. The car is crossing the bridge over what used to be the rail freight avoiding line divertiing freight from the congested station area and the gasworks had its own rail connection and shunting locomotive. Victorian cast and wrought iron gasholders, classically designed with three tiers of cast iron columns connected by lattice girders, were built in the 1840-1880s. The design of a gas holder allows the gas cylinder within the holder to move up and down the columns on rails as it inflates and deflates. The holders were unusually tall for their period - over 100ft high, and requiring the cylinders to rise high into the air, and sink into a concrete pit, deep into the ground. This image shows No.4 gasholder, Carlisle Gas Works, 1878-9, by J Hepworth, engineer. Situated in Rome Street, near Carlisle station. Its concrete pit is regarded as the first use of concrete in north of England. This is one of only three sites for 'listed' gasholders in England (the others are at Camden Town and Newham, in London).
