This paper concerns three kinds of seemingly paradoxical real valued functions of one variable. The first two, defined on R, are the celebrated continuous nowhere differentiable functions, known as Weierstrass's monsters, and everywhere differentiable nowhere monotone functions-simultaneously smooth and very rugged-to which we will refer as differentiable monsters. The third kind was discovered only recently and consists of differentiable functions f defined on a compact perfect subset (sic) of R which has derivative equal zero on its entire domain, making it everywhere pointwise contractive, while, counterintuitively, f maps (sic) onto itself. The goal of this note is to show that this pointwise shrinking globally stable map f can be extended to functions f, g: R -> R which are differentiable and Weierstrass's monsters, respectively. Thus, we pack three paradoxical examples into two functions. The construction of f is based on the following variant of Jarnik's Extension Theorem: For every differentiable function f from a closed P subset of R into JR there exists its differentiable extension (f) over cap: R -> R such that (f) over cap is nowhere monotone on R\P.
