A harsh Scandinavian with a kitten in his arms, a whole tray of delicious bagels, girls with funny fake mustaches - such an Instagram you can expect from your carefree friend, but certainly not from the police department. However, the police in Reykjavik are not like ordinary employees of the law.
Iceland is the country with the lowest crime rate in the world and therefore the local police (“logreglan” in Icelandic) don't even carry weapons. Pepper cans and clubs are what officers all over the island are armed with. In a country of just over three hundred thousand inhabitants, cases of serious accidents are extremely rare, and there are a total of about eight hundred police officers working throughout Iceland.
The Icelandic police have their own official Instagram (@logreglan), unlike any other Instagram of its kind. Valiant uniformed cops pose with cute kittens, adorable dogs, take silly selfies and perform various bike stunts. So it is not surprising that the Icelandic police page is the most popular among the rest of the police Instagram: today they have more than eighty thousand readers.
Instagram helps to identify new stars: in addition to the creative Icelandic police, thanks to this application, he also became famous cute bull terrier jimmy choo, the protagonist of funny half-drawn dramatizations.

How round houses appeared in Moscow, and is it easy for Muscovites to live in "bagels"
Someone calls them Olympic rings, someone - bagels. Strange looped high-rise buildings appeared in Moscow in the late seventies. Alas, the idea of building round houses did not justify itself, but those buildings that were erected in the Soviet years still stand in the west of the capital as a memory of the strange, contradictory Soviet era. And the residents of these houses are already accustomed to living in this strange, rounded coordinate system
Victorian Kittens and Squirrels: Walter Potter Taxidermy Museum
"Cat wedding" is not necessarily the screams of animals under the windows. One of the famous works of the Victorian taxidermist artist Walter Potter bears the same name. This man made stuffed animals, often dressed them up and built massive mute scenes. This is how funny taxidermy compositions appeared: a squirrel gambling house, a parish school for rabbits, a raid in a rat den. Each character demanded attention, each needed a flavor. So, it is interesting to look at the costume

Kittens are traditionally considered very affectionate and cute animals, whose mimicry is simply off scale. But even an angel at times can show his devilish essence. So it is with kittens.
