A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on March 18.
This week's selection includes a traditional Sydney townhouse with a designer rooftop pool, a photo of a man standing next to a protest sign that reads "It's easy to be pro-choice when you are not the one being killed" while a girl stands next to him with a sign that reads "It's easy being pro-life when you are not the one being pregnant!", photos of abandoned and ruined buildings in Detroit, a TED video of Jake Shimabukuro playing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on a ukulele, and a Japanese robot that looks "uncomfortably realistic."
