If Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle had been Russian, this is where she would have lived.
The upside-down house in Moscow was built as an attraction for the All-Russian Exhibition Center, an ongoing trade show that sounds a little like a Russian World's Fair.
It's not just upside-down from the outside, either; inside, the ceiling
is the floor and all the furnishings are attached over visitors' heads.
The house reportedly makes
visitors feel a sensation similar to that on a roller-coaster. OK, now
we're picturing a crowd of Russians and tourists suffering like poor
Lucille Two on "Arrested Development":
Admission is 300 rubles, or about $9 at today's exchange rates.

at the detail that went into the house -- the cutlery drawers in the
kitchen even open! More optical-illusion hijinks included, naturally.
N.B. Don't know who Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle was? Then you're in for a treat, especially if you have or are a kid. Click here to learn more on the Mental Floss website.
