It looks like this man is wearing two fins (鳍) on his head. But they are not animal fins. They are made of silicon (硅).
Manel de Aguas is an artist from Spain. He put a "weather fin" in each side of his head. The first weigh 500 grams. That's as heavy as 10 eggs. There is a microchip (微芯片) in each fin. When the weather changes, the sound inside the microchip will tell him about the temperature, humidity (湿度), and atmosphere pressure (气压), according to Oddity Central. Aguas said he wanted to make the fins because of his love of fish.
"The atmosphere sounds inside my head, "Aguas said, "It's like being in one type of medium or another."
When Aguas walks down the street, he often gets strange looks. "I'm used to people looking at me in the street, but the truth is that I don't care about it at all. " he said.
