As the origin of chopsticks, China is the first country in the world to use chopsticks and has a history of at least 3,000 years to have meals with chopsticks. Chopsticks seems quite simple with only two small and thin sticks, but it is in possession of many functions, such as picking, moving, nipping, mixing and digging; moreover, it is convenient for use and cheap in price. Besides, chopsticks are also unique tableware in the world. Anyone using chopsticks, no matter Chinese or foreigners, would without exception admire the inventor of chopsticks.

Copsticks appeared in the Neolithic Age dated back to more than three thousand years ago. Due to its lightness and convenience, chopstick was introduced to our neighbor countries, such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, more than one thousand years ago. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, chopsticks were introduced to Malaysia, Singapore and etc.. The appearance of chopsticks is not only a revolution of Chinese cuisine culture, but also a civilization symbol of human beings. The chopsticks have played a promoting role in the development of the cuisine techniques. Cold and dressed dish, noodles, Shanxi Fish, Instant-Boiled Mutton, Candied Floss Apple and others dishes suitable for using chopsticks also come into being. It can be said as the earliest chopsticks revolution of China’s cuisine culture to eat with chopsticks other than eating through hand grasping.

The most primitive chopsticks are made of bamboo, so the chopsticks most frequently used by people are also bamboo chopsticks. Meanwhile, the purple bamboo chopsticks and Xiangfei bamboo chopsticks are also the rare varieties, hard to be found at present. The Nanzhu chopsticks of Hunan can stand vertically in the clear water without falling and is called the magic chopsticks. The West Lake Tianzhu chopsticks of Hangzhou also turn out to be a special local product in this scenic spot. In addition, the silver chopsticks have the function of sterilizing, for scientists find that the sliver ion can sterilize most of the bacteria. The delicately made silver chopstick is very popular up to now, but people have regarded it as craftworks. The gold chopsticks with a high price are the symbol of royal and noble luxury. In addition, in China, there are also chopsticks made of ivory, bones of cattle, camel and deer as well as tortoise shell. Even some clever craftsmen skillfully connect the tooth bones and make them craftworks. A kind of jade chopsticks are also the precious ones and the gold chopsticks and jade chopsticks used by Empress Dowager Cixi are on display in the Precious Treasures Museum of the Imperial Palace.

After experiencing numerous hardships and tests and upon baptism of the time, the chopsticks give off more lingering taste, and have gradually evolved to be an existing form with a combination of pragmatism and culture. Today, chopsticks are not only one kind of tableware, but also become a unique culture form, representing a kind of civilization, coming in front of us as a work of art for research, use, appreciation, collection and presenting as a gift.

Food Culture
The Invention of Chopsticks

The origin of Chinese chopsticks is directly related to the emergence and development of primitive agriculture as well as to the invention and development of pottery ware. The beginning of the agricultural times led to the proportional rise of crops (most of which were grain) in human food. And the invention of pottery ware also contributed to the need for improvement on cooking and eating ways for people, who were accustomed to cooked food at that time.

The most appropriate way of cooking grain crops was boiling. Clearly, it was unsuitable to eat boiled food with one's fingers. And that's where some eating utensils came in. Then, tree branches, bamboo sticks and animal bones were naturally used as tools to eat with. Chopsticks were presumably a clever invention replacing those primitive eating utensils.

As the origin of chopsticks, China is the first country in the world to use chopsticks and has a history of at least 3,000 years to have meals with chopsticks. Chopsticks seems quite simple with only two small and thin sticks, but it is in possession of many functions, such as picking, moving, nipping, mixing and digging; moreover, it is convenient for use and cheap in price. Besides, chopsticks are also unique tableware in the world. Anyone using chopsticks, no matter Chinese or foreigners, would without exception admire the inventor of chopsticks.

Fork

The fork had been used in China long before the chopstick; a bone fork has been discovered by archaeologists at a burial site of the early Bronze Age Qijia culture (2400–1900 BC), and forks have been found in tombs of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 – c. 1050 BC) and subsequent Chinese dynasties.

How many bones are in the human body?

At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood rolls around, some of our bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in our body!

Here is the breakdown:

The adult skeleton consists of 206 bones . . .

- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones)

- the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck;

- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck, 12 thorax, 5 lumbar or loins, the sacrum which is five fused vertebrae, and the coccyx, our vestigial tail, which is four fused vertebrae);

- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae);

- the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones);

- 30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120);

- There are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.

In tribute to our MOD smallbanana. Read on:

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression "going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Bananas contain three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose, and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained, and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood, and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) School (England) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins, which help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking and tobacco use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6 and B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain, and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

Want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

Perhaps you’re one of four hundred million Facebook users who logs into your user account at least once every month or maybe you log in every day and has what psychologists call FAD (Facebook Addiction Disorder). No matter how addicted you are to Facebook, you may not know some of the following interesting facts about Facebook.

1. Launch of Facebook

Facebook was launched on February 4th, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with his fellow Harvard classmates Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin from their Harvard dorm room. It started out as a social networking site to connect those who are Harvard students as well as graduates. It later includes other colleges and high schools to eventually be open for anyone in the world. It was formerly known as thefacebook.com which was later changed to simply Facebook.

2. Facebook Scandal

Facebook became the center of public attention when it was sued for copyright infringement. Former Harvard classmates twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra claimed that Mark Zuckerberg who was supposed to work with them in creating the base software for their social networking site ConnectU has stolen their business idea and technology and used them to start his own competitive site Facebook. The suit was settled in June 2008. The founders of ConnectU were reported to have received $65 million in stocks and cash.

3. Yahoo's attempt to buy Facebook

Facebook has become quite a powerhouse networking site that in 2006 Yahoo whose failed social service Yahoo 360, has tried to purchase it for $1 billion. However, Zuckerberg declined the offer claiming that Facebook is worth $4 billion which couldn’t be far from the truth as Facebook is now estimated to be valued between $7.9 to $11 billion now.

4. Facebook traffic stats

The traffic to Facebook is growing every day being only second to Google. YouTube comes in third while other networking sites like Twitter comes in at eleventh place and mySpace in twenty-fifth position.

5. Important statistics about Facebook :

- Four hundred million users log in at least once every month; half of which log in every day.

- Seventy percent of Facebook users come from outside the United States.

- Half of Denmark population are active users of Facebook.

- 8.3 billion hours are spent monthly on Facebook.

- The two most popular Facebook Pages are that of Michael Jackson and Homer Simpson.

6. Facebook investors

At the startup of Facebook, Zuckerberg got financial backing in the amount of half a million dollars from Peter Thiel who is the co-founder of Paypal. In May 2005, Accel Partners contributed $12.7 million to Facebook startup capital. Later, other companies like Microsoft, Greylock Partners and Digital Sky Technologies also invested in Facebook in return for a share in Facebook.

7. How Facebook makes money

Facebook offers free membership to its users. Facebook revenue comes mainly from advertising where advertisers are able to target specific audience based on Facebook users’ profile. Facebook makes available the profile of its users to advertisers so that they are able to reach targeted audience for their ads.

The above interesting facts about Facebook may be unknown to you before but now you know more about the number one social networking site on the internet.

The humble banana almost seems like a miracle of nature. Colourful, nutritious, and much cherished by children, monkeys and clowns, it has a favoured position in the planet’s fruitbowls. The banana is vitally important in many regions of the tropics, where different parts of the plant are used for clothing, paper and tableware, and where the fruit itself is an essential dietary staple. People across the globe appreciate the soft, nourishing flesh, the snack-sized portions, and the easy-peel covering that conveniently changes colour to indicate ripeness. Individual fruit—or fingers—sit comfortably in the human hand, readily detached from their close-packed companions. Indeed, the banana appears almost purpose-designed for efficient human consumption and distribution. It is difficult to conceive of a more fortuitous fruit.

The banana, however, is a freakish and fragile genetic mutant; one that has survived through the centuries due to the sustained application of selective breeding by diligent humans. Indeed, the “miraculous” banana is far from being a no-strings-attached gift from nature. Its cheerful appearance hides a fatal flaw— one that threatens its proud place in the grocery basket. The banana’s problem can be summed up in a single word: sex.

10 Common Errors “Spell Check” Won’t Catch




http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/ZNkuZuESTmOE/photos/3e1f746eda3043e27997784a5db1d8fb/mr_88bfd674ce5365.jpg?ug_____DtrOPw.GG

While we can rely on a spell checker to catch glaring errors, a computer can’t pick up on all careless mistakes, especially if the word could be correct in a different context. Often word misuse is our mistake. The English language is full of homonyms, or words that have different meanings but sound and look similar, which makes it easy to confuse proper usage. For instance, verbally, you might not even notice the difference between “your” and “you’re.” But in print, the error can lead the reader to perceive you as less intelligent than you are. For this reason, it's important to spell check and proofread your documents, especially for the following common misuses, which are so easy to make, you might even have to check your document a couple times to catch them.


Its versus It’s (and all other apostrophes):
According to a copy editing instructor for California-based copy editing service provider Edicetera, confusing “its” and “it’s” is the most common error in the English language. That one minuscule apostrophe (or lack thereof) drastically changes the meaning of the entire sentence. “It’s” is a contraction of “it is,” whereas “its” refers to possession. Also, watch out for “your” versus “you’re.”


Sales versus Sails
Can you imagine writing on your resume that you “increased sails by 20 percent”?! Unless you’re applying to a job for a sail boat manufacturer, this careless mistake will probably get your resume sailing right into the recycling bin.

How to dress for interview success! (http://www.kaboodle.com/fashion/seasonal-looks/slideshow/how-to-dress-for-job-interview-success?m_cid=byshac71510worda)


Affect versus Effect
There is a lot of confusion around this one but here’s the rule: “Affect” is a verb and “effect” is a noun. It’s as simple as that.


Would Have NOT Would of
The subtlety in pronunciation leads to the rampant misuse of this phrase; however “would of” is never correct and may make you appear as if you are not well-read.

Relieve work stress with fun desk-top gadgets. (http://www.kaboodle.com/gadgets/what-rocks/slideshow/relieve-stress-at-your-desk1?m_cid=byshac71510word2)


Through versus Threw
“He threw the ball through the window.” “Threw” is a verb and “through” is a preposition. And speaking of “through,” be careful to make sure you don’t actually mean “thorough” or vice versa. The slight variation in spelling will not be picked up by a computer, but writing “I am through” when you mean “I am thorough” is quite ironic, don’t you think?

The best way to master the subtleties of language? Reading of course! Check out six classics worth revisiting (http://www.kaboodle.com/home/seasonal-looks/slideshow/classic-novels-worth-revisiting?m_cid=byhac71510wordb) and other great summer reads! (http://www.kaboodle.com/home/seasonal-looks/slideshow/summer-reads?m_cid=byshac71510wordc)


Then versus Than
Six is more than five; after five then comes six. “Than” refers to a comparison, while “then” refers to a subsequent event.


Supposed To NOT Suppose To
“Suppose” is a verb, meaning to think or to ponder. The correct way to express a duty is to write, “I was supposed to…”

Stylish and affordable office fashions! (http://www.kaboodle.com/fashion/seasonal-looks/slideshow/affordable-work-attire?m_cid=byshac71510wordd)


Wonder versus Wander
You can wander around while you wonder why “wander” and “wonder” have such different meanings, yet sound oh so similar.


Their versus There versus They’re
OK, once and for all: “Their” is possessive; “there” refers to distance; and “they’re” is a contraction of “they are.”

The best blouses for the office! (http://www.kaboodle.com/fashion/home/slideshow/blouses?m_cid=byshac71510word3)


Farther versus Further
While both words refer to distance, grammarians distinguish “farther” as physical distance and “further” as metaphorical distance. You can dive further into a project, for instance, or you can dive farther into the ocean.


We know we missed many common careless errors. What mistakes do you see most often?

Are Whole Eggs or Egg Whites Better for You?
by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer
Author - The Truth About 6-Pack Abs (http://www.truthaboutabs.com/)

http://www.truthaboutabs.com/images/wholeeggs.jpgI was on a weekend trip with some friends recently and one of my friends was cooking breakfast for the whole group. I went over to see what he was cooking and saw he was getting ready to make a big batch of eggs.
Well, to my shock and horror, I noticed that he was cracking the eggs open and screening the egg whites into a bowl and throwing out the egg yolks. I asked him why the heck he was throwing out the egg yolks, and he replied something like this...
"because I thought the egg yolks were terrible for you...that's where all the nasty fat and cholesterol is".
And I replied, "you mean that's where all of the nutrition is!"
This is a perfect example of how confused most people are about nutrition. In a world full of misinformation about nutrition, somehow most people now mistakenly think that the egg yolk is the worst part of the egg, when in fact, the YOLK IS THE HEALTHIEST PART OF THE EGG!
By throwing out the yolk and only eating egg whites, you're essentially throwing out the most nutrient dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral loaded portion of the egg. The yolks contain so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein, and other powerful nutrients... it's not even worth trying to list them all.
In fact, the egg whites are almost devoid of nutrition compared to the yolks.
Even the protein in egg whites isn't as powerful without the yolks to balance out the amino acid profile and make the protein more bio-available. Not to even mention that the egg yolks from free range chickens are loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Yolks contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and panthothenic acid of the egg. In addition, the yolks contain ALL of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K in the egg, as well as ALL of the essential fatty acids (EFAs).
And now the common objection I get all the time when I say that the yolks are the most nutritious part of the egg...
"But I heard that whole eggs will skyrocket my cholesterol through the roof"
No, this is FALSE!
First of all, when you eat a food that contains a high amount of dietary cholesterol such as eggs, your body down-regulates it's internal production of cholesterol to balance things out.
On the other hand, if you don't eat enough cholesterol, your body simply produces more since cholesterol has dozens of important vital functions in the body.
http://www.truthaboutabs.com/images/eggs.jpgAnd here's where it gets even more interesting...
There have been plenty of studies lately that indicate that eating whole eggs actually raises your good HDL cholesterol to a higher degree than LDL cholesterol, thereby improving your overall cholesterol ratio and blood chemistry.
And 3rd... high cholesterol is NOT a disease! Heart disease is a disease...but high cholesterol is NOT. Cholesterol is actually a VERY important substance in your body and has vitally important functions... it is DEAD WRONG to try to "lower your cholesterol" just because of pharmaceutical companies propaganda that everyone on the planet should be on statin drugs.
If you're interested in this topic of cholesterol specifically, I have another article listed at the bottom of this page about why trying to attack cholesterol is a mistake, and what the REAL deadly risk factors actually are.
In addition, the yolks contain the antioxidant lutein as well as other antioxidants which can help protect you from inflammation within your body (the REAL culprit in heart disease, not dietary cholesterol!), giving yet another reason why the yolks are actually GOOD for you, and not detrimental.
To help bring even more proof that whole eggs are better for you than egg whites, I recently read a University of Connecticut study that showed that a group of men in the study that ate 3 eggs per day for 12 weeks while on a reduced carb, higher fat diet increased their HDL good cholesterol by 20%, while their LDL bad cholesterol stayed the same during the study. However, the group that ate egg substitutes (egg whites) saw no change in either and did not see the improvement in good cholesterol (remember that higher HDL levels are associated with lower risk of heart disease) that the whole egg eaters did.
So I hope we've established that whole eggs are not some evil food that will wreck your body... instead whole eggs are FAR superior to egg whites.
But what about the extra calories in the yolks?
This is actually a non-issue and here's why... even though egg yolks contain more calories than just eating the egg whites, the yolks have such a high micro-nutrient density in those calories, that it increases your overall nutrient density per calorie you consume. Essentially, what this does is help to regulate your appetite for the remainder of the day, so you end up eating less calories overall. In addition, the healthy fats in the egg yolks help to maintain a good level of fat-burning hormones in your body.
Overall, this means that the extra fats (healthy fats) and calories from the yolk are so nutrient-dense that they actually HELP you to burn off body fat!
Also, your normal supermarket eggs coming from mass factory farming just don't compare nutritionally with organic free range eggs from healthy chickens that are allowed to roam freely and eat a more natural diet. Your typical cheap grocery store eggs will have lower nutrient levels and a higher omega-6 level and lower omega-3 level. On the other hand, the cage-free organic eggs from healthier chickens allowed to eat more natural feed and roam freely will have much higher vitamin and mineral levels and a more balanced healthier omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio.
I recently compared eggs I bought at the grocery store with a batch of eggs I got at a farm stand where the chickens were free roaming and healthy.
Most people don't realize that there's a major difference because they've never bought real eggs from healthy chickens... The eggs from the grocery store had pale yellow yolks and thin weak shells. On the other hand, the healthier free range eggs from the local farm had strong thick shells and deep orange colored yolks indicating much higher nutrition levels and carotenoids... and just a healthier egg in general.
This is due to the fact that a free-roaming hen allowed to roam on plenty of land will eat a variety of greens, insects, worms, etc transferring MUCH higher levels of nutrients to the eggs compared to an unhealthy hen that is trapped inside a dark factory farm hen house in horrible conditions and fed nothing but piles of corn and soy. It's a DRASTIC difference in the nutrition that you get from the egg.
So next time a health or fitness professional tells you that egg whites are superior (because of their "fat-phobic" mentality towards dietary fats), you can quietly ignore their advice knowing that you now understand the REAL deal about egg yolks.
And can we all please STOP with this sillyness about eating an omelete with 4-5 egg whites and only 1 egg yolk... If you want real taste and real health benefits, we'd all be better off eating ALL of our eggs with the yolks.
After all, do you REALLY think that our ancestors thousands of years ago threw out the yolks and only ate the egg whites? NOT A CHANCE! They intuitively knew that all of the nutrition was found in the yolks. But our modern society has been brainwashed with misinformation about fats and cholesterol.
Another interesting study about eggs...
I read a study recently that compared groups of people that ate egg breakfasts vs groups of people that ate cereal or bagel-based breakfasts. The results of the study showed that the egg eaters lost or maintained a healthier bodyweight, while the cereal/bagel eaters gained weight.
It was hypothesized that the egg eaters actually ate less calories during the remainder of the day because their appetite was more satisfied compared to the cereal/bagel eaters who would have been more prone to wild blood sugar swings and food cravings.
Oh, one last thing I almost forgot... I personally eat 4 whole eggs almost every day with breakfast, and I maintain single-digit bodyfat most of the year.
Enjoy your eggs and get a leaner body!

Red blood cells function by carrying oxygen to every part of the body, and then carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Red blood cells are very well designed to perform this important job. First, they are packed full of hemoglobin, which is an iron-bearing protein that transports oxygen to other cells. Interestingly, red blood cells have no nuclei, a feature which makes even more room for hemoglobin. Red blood cells are the only cells in the body that do not have a nucleus.
Second, they are shaped like disks. This shape greatly increases their surface area compared with a sphere of the same volume. The large surface area is important because it improves the efficiency of oxygen transfer between hemoglobin and the tissues where the oxygen is needed. Red blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, where special cells called stem cells divide repeatedly, then lose most of their internal parts before they are released into the blood. Red blood cells have an average life span of about 120 days. After this, they tend to become misshapen and they are removed from the circulation system by the spleen. A typical human body makes about 2.5 million red blood cells every second, or about 200 billion every day!
Red cells normally comprise about 40% of the blood volume. When doctors measure this number, it is called the hematocrit. Sometimes the number of red blood cells drops too low. This condition is called anemia. Generally, anemia results either because too few red blood cells are being made, or because they are being destroyed prematurely. The most common cause for underproduction of red blood cells is iron deficiency. Iron is a necessary component of hemoglobin, so iron deficiency results in inadequate formation of new red blood cells.

Birthday interesting facts

Your birthday is a very special day. Only eighteen million other people share it (unless you were born on February 29, in which case you really are special since only 4.5 million people have your birthday).
The custom of lighting candles originated with people believing that the gods lived in the sky and by lighting candles and torches they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods so they they could be answered. When you blow out the candles and make a wish this is another way of sending a signal and a message.
The volume of blood in your body is approximately 5 litres. The heart pumps about 280 litres of blood around your body every hour - that’s 2,688,000 litres per year!
The Earth is zooming around the sun at around 66,780 miles per hour! Since your last birthday the Earth has completed one journey around the sun travelling about 584,337,600 miles.
The earliest birthday parties in history were held because it was feared that evil spirits were attracted to people on their birthdays.

yewww!!! it's so disgusting... i dunno the level of their arts!!! LOL

[XiaoJiao]

Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling
water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went
into the boiling water....

A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just
as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour...I
pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He said to keep my hand
in the flour for 10 mins. which I did. He said that in Vietnam, this guy
was on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to
put the fire out...well, it not only put the flour out, but he never even had
a blister!!!!

SOOOO, long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins,
pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolutley NO
PAIN. Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself,
I use the flour and never ONCE have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a blister!
*cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.

Miracle, if you ask me. Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be
happy you did. I even burnt my tongue and put the flour on it for about 10 mins.
and the pain was gone and no burn. Try it! BTW, don't run your burn area under
Cold water first, just put it right into the flour for 10 mins and experience a miracle!

The special “tea willow basket” tool used by the C-cup virgin tea pickers revealed

April 19th, the Henan province Gushi county West Jiuhua Shan scenic area revealed the specialized collection tool “tea willow basket” that its tea-leaf pickers use when picking Kou Chun Cha [literally, "Mouth Lip Tea"]. This tool is made from Xinyang’s famous weaved willow wood and is placed between the breasts during use, to receive the tender tea leaves that the female tea-leaf picker plucks with her mouth. Previously, the information published in the local recruitment ad for tea-leaf picking girls required that the girls have C-cup breasts and be virgins as well. After this information was released, it was reposted on various major discussion forums and caused a great deal of discussion.

5 Youngest Moms in the History


(age 5, Lida)

http://www.blindloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Linda-Medina-youngets-mom-212x300.jpg
Linda Medina was the youngest girl ever to give birth. She was just 5 years, 7 months, and 21 days when her 2.7 kg (6.0 lb) son Gerardo was born. Linda got attendance of her parents when they noticed abnormal increase of her belly; she was thought to have had a tumor but when Linda was taken to hospital, there they get to know about her pregnancy. The mystery remains unsolved about the father of Gerardo. Both mother and son died at the age of 40 and 76 respectively.

Linda was pregnant when she was just 5

(age 8, Lima)
The father of Gerardo was never discovered, but this girl was raped by two of her own cousins. She got pregnant and gave birth to a baby weighing 2 kg (4.4 lb) by cesarean section at a hospital in December 2006.
(age 9, Hilda Trujillo)
Hilda Trujillo was third youngest mother to give birth at the age of nine. In November Hilda entered the Maternity Hospital as the patient of Obstetrician Rolando Colareta, underwent examination by a team of 16 obstetricians, gland specialists, radiologists, psychiatrists and general practitioners. They reported her to be normal, only a little older-looking than other girls of her age. After one month, on December 1957 she gave birth to a baby girl. Her 22 year old cousin was arrested, accused of rape. Dr Rolando Colareta who examined her gave reasoning saying “the rape of minors is nothing so unusual here or anywhere else. But of course rape does not mean pregnancy in children so young, except in rare cases”.
(age 9, Phetchabun.Thailand)
Not that long ago in the month of February 2001 Wanwisa Janmuk became youngest Asian mother. World’s forth youngest mother was married to a 26 year old man; by the time of birth mother and father were nine and twenty seven year old respectively.

10 More Terrifying and Mysterious Creatures
(http://listverse.com/2010/11/17/10-more-terrifying-and-mysterious-creatures/)
by Stephen King
Here are ten of the most terrifying and bizarre creatures to ever, allegedly, walk the Earth. These creatures defy logic, inspire the imagination and generate fear. They are the subject of numerous movies, documentaries, books and even songs. They have become ingrained in our culture. Do these creatures really exist? Did they ever exist? Or are these merely hoaxes, or the result of over active imaginations? No matter what you believe, I think it is safe to say that the members of this list are the stuff of nightmares, and if encountered, even the most hardened individual would tremble with fear. So let’s open our minds to the incredible, and embark on a brief journey through a world teeming with cryptids. This is a follow up list to the Top 10 Bizarre Cryptids (http://listverse.com/2010/07/25/top-10-bizarre-cryptids/).

10 Dover Demon

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/screen-shot-2010-11-17-at-4-31-04-pm.jpg?w=550&h=396
This creature was sighted on three separate occasions in the town of Dover, Massachusetts, on April 21 and April 22, 1977. Due to its appearance, there’s speculation as to whether or not this creature was an alien, or the result of some sort of experiment i.e. a human or alien hybrid, while others suggest it came from another dimension. The Dover Demon’s features are as follows – a disproportionately large, watermelon shaped head, glowing orange eyes, long, thin arms and legs with slender fingers. It was said to be hairless, with rough, flesh-toned skin described as a tan color with the texture of sandpaper. The Dover Demon reportedly lacked facial features e.g. it had no nose, ears or mouth. It’s height was 3 feet, and it made a bloodcurdling noise that sounded like a hawk’s screech combined with a snake’s hiss.

9 Jersey Devil

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/jersey.jpg?w=550&h=381
This beast is said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, with tales beginning in the 1800s and continuing until the 20th century. The creature is usually described as a flying biped with hooves, wings like a bat and a head resembling a horse. The legend of this creature stems from a tale about “Mother Leeds’, a local witch who invoked the devil while giving birth to her 13th child. When the baby was born it immediately transformed into a demonic creature and flew off into the surrounding pine barrens. The Jersey Devil was blamed for many livestock killings, strange tracks and bizarre sounds. In the early 1900′s, scores of people in New Jersey and neighboring states claimed to witness the Jersey Devil or see evidence of it’s arrival through strange tracks.

8 Flatwoods Monster

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/7e4d5ed80eonster.jpg?w=248&h=400
It is claimed that the Flatwoods Monster is some form of extraterrestrial, as this creature was spotted in the vicinity of a large UFO that either hovered above or rested on the ground in the town of Flatwoods, in Braxton County, West Virginia, on September 12, 1952. According to the reports, this creature was huge, at least 10 feet tall. its face gave off a reddish glow, and its body was green in colour. Its head was shaped like a heart or Ace of Spades, and out of this strangely shaped head bulged non-human eyes. The body is described as being shaped similar to a mans and dressed in some sort of dark clothing resembling a skirt. Reports ranged from the creature having no visible arms to short, stubby arms ending in long claw-like fingers.

7 Owlman

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/owlman3_ft17_17.jpg?w=378&h=400
Mawnan, Cornwall, around the middle of 1976, is where you’d find the earliest Owlman reports. The first sighting took place on April 17, 1976, where the creature was spotted hovering above the Mawnan church tower. Oddly enough sightings up to August, 1978, all occurred within the vicinity of this church. Reports of the Owlman ceased altogether sometime in 1995. This cryptid looks like an owl (no surprise there, considering it is name), it is the size of a man, it has pointed ears, red eyes and black pincer-like claws. Its body bears some similarities to the more famous Mothman, in that it is described as having large wings and is a grayish color. Interestingly, there were many UFO reports, as well as accounts of animals behaving strangely in the surrounding area just prior to the Owlman sightings. Another similarity to the Mothman case.

6 Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/lizard-man.jpg?w=550&h=412
On a list like this the Lizard Man had to be high. This humanoid cryptid is said to inhabit the swampland areas in and around Lee County, South Carolina. The sightings began on June 29, 1988, with the most recent notable sighting in February, 2008. The creature is described as being 7 feet 2 inches tall, bipedal, has a strong build, green scaly skin and glowing red eyes. Reports state that the Lizard Man has three toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand. These fingers end in a circular pad that apparently enables the creature to stick to walls. As evidenced by the damage done to the vehicles of those unfortunate enough to encounter it, the creature also possesses incredible strength, clearly capable of ripping into a car. Pulling over in this area is a bad idea.




5 Bunyip

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/screen-shot-2010-11-17-at-4-26-18-pm.jpg?w=550&h=298
For those who grew up in Australasia (primarily Australia and NZ), the bunyip will be familiar. The bunyip is a large mythical creature from Australian Aboriginal mythology, said to lurk in swamps, billabongs, creeks, riverbeds and waterholes. It has been described as a giant starfish that walks on land. Other common descriptions from 19th century newspaper accounts include a dog-like face, dark fur, a horse-like tail, flippers and walrus-like tusks or horns or a duck like bill. The very first use of the word to describe this Australian cryptid appeared in a newspaper in 1845:
“The Bunyip, then, is represented as uniting the characteristics of a bird and of an alligator. It has a head resembling an emu, with a long bill, at the extremity of which is a transverse projection on each side, with serrated edges like the bone of the stingray. Its body and legs partake of the nature of the alligator. The hind legs are remarkably thick and strong, and the fore legs are much longer, but still of great strength. The extremities are furnished with long claws, but the blacks say its usual method of killing its prey is by hugging it to death. When in the water it swims like a frog, and when on shore it walks on its hind legs with its head erect, in which position it measures twelve or thirteen feet in height.”
4 Sigbin

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/sigbin.jpg?w=550&h=354
The Sigbin is a creature from the Philippines said to come out at night to suck the blood of victims from their shadows (the Philippines has some amazingly bizarre cryptids as you can see on this list (http://listverse.com/2009/11/20/top-10-scariest-filipino-monsters/)). It is said to walk backwards with its head lowered between its hind legs, and to have the ability to become invisible to other creatures, especially humans. It resembles a hornless goat, but has very large ears which it can clap like a pair of hands and a long, flexible tail that can be used as a whip. The Sigbin is said to emit a nauseating odor. Depending on region and storyteller, the sigbin resembles either a hornless goat, a reptilian crow or something vaguely along the lines of the Chupacabra. What is most common with all accounts is that its head hangs between its forelegs which are much shorter than its hindlegs. Whether because of physiology or because it makes the sigbin seem scarier, it is also known to crabwalk backwards. The sigbin also has a long whip-like tail that emit’s a foul stench and two grasshopper-like legs on its neck that enable it to jump far distances. They wander around at night in search of children to devour but they keep the hearts to make amulets. Most stories and sightings originate from the Cebu region. However, although it is some distance away, in 2005 scientists in Borneo discovered a “cat-fox-like carnivore” with hind legs longer than forelegs giving it an awkward gait and physical appearance that somewhat fits many of the descriptions of the sigbin (e.g. long tail, short forearms, can jump far distances, carnivorous). No conclusive evidence has been found yet to link the two together.

3 Canvey Island Monster

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/4-canvey.jpg?w=267&h=400
The Canvey Island Monster is the name given to an unusual creature whose carcass washed up on the shores of Canvey Island, England, in November, 1954. A second, more intact, carcass was discovered in August, 1955. The 1954 specimen was described as being 76cm (2.4ft) long with thick reddish brown skin, bulging eyes and gills. It was also described as having hind legs with five-toed horseshoe-shaped feet with concave arches – which appeared to be suited for bipedal locomotion – but no forelimbs. Its remains were cremated after a cursory inspection by zoologists who said that it posed no danger to the public. The 1955 specimen was described as being similar to the first but much larger, being 120cm (3.9 ft) long and weighing approximately 11.3kg (25lb). It was sufficiently fresh for its eyes, nostrils and teeth to be studied, though no official explanation was given at the time as to what it was or what happened to the carcass.

2 Pope Lick Monster

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/sheepman.jpg?w=550&h=377
In most accounts, the Pope Lick Monster (named after the Pope Lick Creek below the Pope Lick Train Trestle – shown above) appears as a human-goat hybrid with a grotesquely deformed body of a man. It has powerful, fur-covered goat legs, an alabaster-skinned face with an aquiline nose and wide set eyes. Short, sharp horns protrude from the forehead, nestled in long greasy hair that matched the color of the fur on the legs. Numerous urban legends exist about the creature’s origins and the methods it employs to claim its victims. According to some accounts, the creature uses either hypnosis or voice mimicry to lure trespassers onto the trestle to meet their death before an oncoming train. Other stories claim the monster jumps down from the trestle onto the roofs of cars passing beneath it. Yet other legends tell that it attacks its victims with a blood-stained axe.

1 Goatman

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/goat-man28.jpg?w=550&h=389
Described as a hybrid beast that bears a horrific mélange of both human and goat-like characteristics, this horned, hoofed, goat featured horror would seem to be a modern re-interpretation of the ancient satyrs found in Greek myths. Yet eyewitnesses claim that this fiend is not a figment from beyond mythology, but a living, breathing, flesh and blood creature, that is not to be trifled with. The first official report of this brute hails from 1957, when eyewitnesses reported seeing a hairy, horned monster in the areas of Forestville and Upper Marlboro in Prince George’s County. Following that wave of sightings, the beast apparently decided to lay low until the summer of 1962, when the Goatman was accused of killing no less than fourteen people — twelve children and two accompanying adults — who were apparently hiking too close to its lair. The survivors, who, of course, remain unidentified, claimed that the Goatman violently hacked it’s victims to pieces with an axe, all the while emitting ghastly sounds only the “devil himself” would make.

Some other masterpieces of Russian medieval wooden architecture were found abandoned.
Some of them look like they are just left – even some furniture stays on its places. The reason they are so undisturbed – it stays deep inside the Russian forests.

The Famous Redwood Log House (http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/the-famous-redwood-log-house.html)


[/URL]One of the most popular exhibits at Ripley’s Believe It or Not, the famous Redwood Log House is made from the trunk of a single Redwood Tree.
Len Moore, the creator of this [URL="http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/rotating-house.html"]unusual house (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.odditycentral.com%2F pics%2Fthe-famous-redwood-log-house.html&t=The%20Famous%20Redwood%20Log%20House%20%7C%20Odd ity%20Central%20-%20Collecting%20Oddities&src=sp), got the idea to build the Redhouse Log House after he found shelter in the trunk of a burned down Redwood tree, during a storm. He decided to build his dream house out of the trunk of this giant tree, and spent months chiseling out the interior, and over a year to build it.
Building a house inside the trunk of a giant tree (http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/worlds-biggest-tree.html) is impressive enough, but the mere fact that the tree was 1,900 years old makes it even more unbelievable. It once stood 247 feet high, and was 14 feet in diameter. Four log houses were built from the trunk of this Redwood tree, and the one owned by Ripley’s was the fourth cut from the tree, in 1938. It measures 33 feet in length and the 11,000 feet of lumber it contains, are enough to construct a five bedroom house.

10 Crazy Facts About Coca-Coca You Didn’t Know


What you are about to read you won’t find on any official Coca-Cola history site because the corporation would rather keep these facts buried and forgotten about.
The soda giant Coca-Cola has been a favorite drink for millions of people all over the world for the last 100+ years. Through out the years the company has tried everything under the sun to sell their products to whomever they could which has brought a lot of controversy on to them.
In the past 100 years the company has been in trouble with racism, child labor, water depletion and much more. I was truly speechless after some of the facts I heard about and you might be to. So if you got an interest in Coca-Cola then this might be for you!
http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/9imagesadad14.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/9imagesadad14.jpg)Inventor Of Coca Cola

As many people know, Coca-Cola was established in May 1886 by doctor/pharmacist John Pemerton as a nerve tonic. What you probably didn’t know was that Dr. Pemerton was considered a junkie who was addicted to morphine big time. John died only 2 and half years after establishing the soft drink and trademark.
http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1imagesadad24.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1imagesadad24.jpg)Cocaine in Coca Cola

Now it’s no big surprise to most people that Coca-Cola’s main addictive ingredient was cocaine. About 60mg of the drug was used in each serving of Coke until 1903 when they company claimed to have removed the ingredient. Funny thing about it is Coca-Cola still uses and imports coca leaves which are pretty much the main ingredient in the production of cocaine. Also some officials for Coke claimed that the use of cocaine in the soft drink was always a rumor.
http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/5imagesadad19.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/5imagesadad19.jpg)Slogan 1.

http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/10imagesadad13.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/10imagesadad13.jpg)slogan 2.


Up till the early to late fifties Coca-Cola was believed to have healing properties and with that some pretty unique slogans started to appear on the products. Some you might have heard, others might be totally new to you.1886 “Coca-Cola Delicious, Refreshing, Exhilarating” No doubt it was exhilarating when they were using cocaine as an additive.
1900 “For Headache & Exhaustion, Drink Coca-Cola” Again I don’t know what cocaine would do for a headache but there’s no doubt the drug takes away exhaustion.
1905 “Coca-Cola Revives and Sustains”

http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/6imagesadad20.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/6imagesadad20.jpg)Coca-Cola & the Nazi’s

Now as we all know Coca-Cola is an American made soda drink so when I was researching Nazi history for another article, I was totally surprised in what I found. In 1936, Coca-cola sponsored the Berlin Olympics also known as the “Nazi Olympics”. While Britain was at war with Germany the company continued to do business behind enemy lines and advertised beside the Nazi Regime. As America enter the Second World War, German Coca-Cola bottling plants could no longer get the sugar/syrup to make the drink so they invented another drink for the Nazi public called “Fanta”.
Coca-Cola and the Civil Rights Movement
Now again when I came across this fact it blew me away. A day before Martin Luther King was assassinated he held a speech asking the people to boycott Coca-Cola and stop buying their products because of the way the black workers were being treated. Supposedly white workers where getting paid a much higher wage for little work where as the African Americans where expected to do long hours and back breaking work for little pay and no chance of advancement within the ranks of the company.
Human Rights Violations and Murder in Colombia
1n the early 2000’s, Colombia Coca-Cola bottle workers that were with the union started receiving death threats to leave the union, and if they didn‘t comply then they would be killed. Shortly after the message workers started turning up dead.
In 2004, a New York City councilor took a fact finding delegation to Colombia. Once there the councilor found that the Coca-Cola workers were the victims of at least 179 major human rights violations and 9 murders.
Then in Jan 2007 a group known as the “Black Eagles” went on TV to tell the Colombian public if union workers and other didn’t stop basically complaining about Coca-Cola’s work ethics then they would be killed.
Coca-Cola was being blamed for not providing a safe work place and for not taking responsibility for their actions which caused or allowed murders on their properties. Some Colombia officials go on to say or imply Coca-Cola is in someway responsible for these murders of union workers or allowed them to happen which they totally deny.

http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/7imagesadad15.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/7imagesadad15.jpg)Biggest Racial Discrimination Payout


In only seems fair after all the stories about racial discrimination that finally in 2000 after investigations into the allegations the federal government found Coca-Cola guilty of the charges and ordered them to pay the biggest racial discrimination payout in history. Coca-Cola had to pay various victims restitution which added up to nearly $200 million. If you ask me that’s nothing compared to what they should pay for the decades of abuse against their workers.Coca-Cola & Coca Leaves
http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/3imagesadad23.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/3imagesadad23.jpg)
http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/4imagesadad23.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/4imagesadad23.jpg)
Although Coca-Cola is suppose to contain no trace of cocaine like officials say, one of the main ingredients is the coca leave which is the main key to making cocaine. It’s a known fact that 8 tons of coca leaves are imported from South America each year by Coca-Cola and if any other regular citizen brought any of this into the states then chances are they would be arrested for drug trafficking.
http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2imagesadad25.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2imagesadad25.jpg)Coca-Cola’s War on Water


I have read some wild stuff about this company but this one I just couldn‘t believe.Years back Coca-Cola launched what some people call a “War” against water called “Just say no to H2O”. What this basically consisted of was the Coca-Cola Company offered its various suppliers like restaurants and so on incentives to push their products on customers when they ordered the free tap water. People eventually found a link on the internet and started sharing it which soon caused the “War” to end.

http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/8imagesadad12.jpg (http://www.epicweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/8imagesadad12.jpg)Coca-Cola & Water Depletion in India


Finally, this one had to be the biggest surprise to me. It takes 2 liters of water to make just 1 liter of Coke. In 2004, farmers in India held protests because Coca-Cola bottling plants where basically bleeding the water wells dry. It got so bad that Coke had to start shipping in water to many off its plants in 3rd world countries.Over 290 billion liters of water are used every year by Coca-Cola around the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. As people in 3rd world countries continue to die because of a lack of clean water, Coca-Cola’s pockets just keep getting bigger and bigger at the expensive of innocent people.

Diet Plan For Life Not Healthy – Side Effect Of Dieting


Although all of us want to be slim and fit, especially for the ramp models. Almost all of the ladies in this world believe that the only way to stay and look beautiful is to look thin and slim. And dieting seems to be the only way to reach your “look-slim” goal. But that “look-slim” goal just may not get turned to “look-thin” goal. What I mean, is dieting to a limit can make you look good and happening but dieting too much may just make you skinny and look not so good as you may think.
Here are some model’s, maybe from US, Europe, Russia or elsewhere, doesn’t matter, who tried “extreme” dieting to just get the perfect look but ended up looking a little or massively thinner and skinny.

The Most Shocking And Saddest Part Of Fashion Industry

But they didn’t stopped here itself. In her quest to get a “size-zero” figure literally, she overcame and out broke all her body limits and here is what she looks like now :

Its Good Most Of The Countries Banned The Skinny Model And Other Country Following Them
So if you’re not convinced by looking at these pictures that dieting can literally make you “invisible” and extreme-dieting like they did must be avoided. What’s the point in looking beautiful and money you earn when you cannot enjoy your favorite KFC’s chicken wings or McD’s jumbo sized chicken burger or triple scoop of your favorite ice cream flavor.

Two in One Ferrari

For those who love adventure and love sporting nothing but the best machines would cherish the two in one Ferrari. The lush two in one Ferrari is perfect for couples who love adventure.

Don’t ridicule the graphic with a toy or fake design. It’s a genuine two in one Ferrari design that can redefine the joy of riding bike as well as a car at the same time. The pre-orders are already pouring in from all corners of the globe. Have you booked your’s?

Village Turned into Optical Illusion


We’ve featured Felice Varini dozen of times, so I encourage you to check some of our previous articles to learn the background and goals this particular artist set for himself. It’s because I dislike repeating myself. In his newest installation, the buildings in the town of Vercorin in the Swiss Alps contribute to this impressive piece. The set was called Cercle et suite d’éclats. But what I recon interests you the most, is how all of this was turned into practice. Well, the pattern was projected on the town from the vantage point, and then traced and painted. If you shoot a photo from the same spot in daylight, you’ll quickly realize how the town looks flat – almost like a postcard. The interesting part is how he got the whole town to approve this? Don’t miss the panoramic view on Varini’s website. More photos from different angles are included below…

The First Record of a Time Traveler


http://www.topstrange.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-of-a-Time-Traveler1.jpg (http://www.topstrange.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-of-a-Time-Traveler1.jpg)“Reopening of the South Fork Bridge after flood in Nov. 1940. 1941 (?)”
It’s the short description for the photograph shown at the virtual Bralorne Pioneer Museum (http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/pm.php?id=story_line_index&fl=0&lg=English&ex=234&pos=1), from British Columbia, Canada. The image can be seen specifically on this page (http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/pm.php?id=story_line&fl=0&lg=English&ex=234&sl=4793&pos=1) (scroll down to the middle), among other items of the online exhibit. Did you notice anything out of place? Or perhaps, out of time? The man with what appears to be very modern sunglasses seems to be wearing a stamped T-shirt with a nice sweater, all the while holding a portable compact camera!
Internet people reached to the obvious conclusion: it’s a time traveller caught on camera on 1940! Finally, we have proof!
If the story seems straight out of a movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204686/) and the photo is in itself a great funny find, the most amusing thing i came up with while looking into this – as an Internet person, on the Internet – was the reply for a skeptical, or perhaps somewhat cynical comment on how spurious it would seem the idea that a time traveler would want to visit the reopening of a bridge in some small town in Canada.
Read this on Doc Brown’s voice: “Of course, because we know nothing happened there right? But if we are considering time travel, how can we know if in some other timeline something historical happened right there?”
Indeed! Once you consider time travel, everything changes. But before writing Hollywood scripts, let’s get back to reality and ask again: is the photo evidence of a time traveller?
http://www.topstrange.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-of-a-Time-Traveler2.jpg (http://www.topstrange.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Picture-of-a-Time-Traveler2.jpg)
The source

As noted, the image is indeed available through the official website for Canada’s museums (http://www.museevirtuel-virtualmuseum.ca/index-eng.jsp). It was part of the exhibit “Their Past Lives Here (http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/pm.php?id=record_detail&fl=0&lg=English&ex=234#)” from Bralorne-Pioneer, available to the public since 2004. It was put online since February this year, perhaps before that. And the peculiar “time traveller” image was only noted as such in the end of March, when it was linked on main websites such as Above Top Secret (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread553942/pg1) and FARK (http://www.fark.com/cgi/comments.pl?IDLink=5134197&hl=Time-traveler-caught-on-camera-from-1941).
Given the source, we would assume the photo is authentic, and correctly dated to c.1940. Indeed, an Error Level Analysis (http://errorlevelanalysis.com/permalink/1ef0c43/) suggests the image was not digitally tampered with, or at least that if it was, the author was smart enough to normalize the error across the whole thing. It’s a good job, if it was a job. And again, given the source, we would assume it was not a job.
So, how do we explain the man out of time?

Old Ceramic Tiles Artwork


In Rostov city Russia an epic forty-thirty years old ceramic tiles artwork has been found in the underground passages.
It tells various stories from World War 2 in ultra realistic style.
Probably that’s one of a kind in the whole world, I doubt somewhere else there are places where this material was used to describe the war happenings.

Celebrities Before and After Photoshop Celebrities Before and After Photoshop


his is an interesting look at celebrities photos before and after photoshop. These can give you a feel of what it takes for a person to look beautiful at all times. No wonder we, ordinary people, are left with a great deal of pressure of looking our best at all times, a high goal that is impossible to reach. Impossible even for our God-like role-models.

These are mostly used in magazines, posters and given the photoshop treatment from their original source. As you can notice these are small tweaks that were applied on photographs and the end results are astonishing. The reality of the models of these photo sessions is less so…

Amazing Body Art


All of these were submitted by user that wishes to remain anonymous. I can’t blame him, considering improper debates some of our “immature” users started in previous body paint comments. I wish to remind you this is art, and I just hope all of you are mature enough to understand it. Even if these models were completely naked (which they are), it would still be art. Now when we cleared this, we can start describing these illusions. If you jump inside this article (or if you came here by optical illusion of the day widgets, you are already inside the post), you will see bunch of amazing camouflage body paintings. Some models like the first one, are painted in a way to camouflage with their background, and some are professionally painted to appear they are wearing clothes. Which one do you find most amazing? I like the first one most, because I’m big fan of camouflage illusions. Enjoy, and please share the link! You can also visit body paint category for more…

Extreme Piercing for the Love of Gods


In late September and early October in Thailand held an unusual vegetarian festival. I order to Nine Emperor Gods give them good health and peace of mind, these people during the festival, which lasts 9 days, must comply with many rules. These days they do not eat meat, drink alcohol, have sex or wear white clothes, and must maintain body hygiene and kitchen accessories… What’s really spectacular is sticking various objects through the face: knives, sabers, saw, glasses, spears… Every drop of blood, and every scar is a gift for purifying the soul. This expression of devotion and love to the gods during the ceremony is often a very creepy and bizarre, but always spectacular.

The Hottest Teacher In China?
Monday, 11.22.2010, 02:24am (GMT-5) http://news.indonewyork.com/images/articles/2010_11/1612/u1_china-sexiest-elementary-school-teacher-15-560x401.jpg


Elementary school teacher called China’s sexiest female teacher

Flipping the traditional image on its head, fashionably and sexily dressed with a lithe and graceful body and sweet face, Jiangsu elementary school teacher Zhu Songhua has been named “China’s sexiest female teacher” by netizens. In early September, while appearing on Jiangsu Satellite Television’s “Happy Night” program’s “My teacher is special” segment, she caused a stir, with the male special guest immediately shouting “pretty/good-looking”, and even the male host Peng Yu unable to hide a shy expression.
Zhu Songhua is No. 1 Primary School Attached to Jiangsu Nantong’s 3rd grade language teacher and tutor. With regards to the her teaching profession, Zhu Songhua said on the show, “there are no bad students, only bad teachers, when I encounter a naughty child, I will patiently guide/teach.” With such remarks full of caring and patience, no wonder netizens have said “Encountering this kind of teacher, I hope I never graduate!”
Zhu Songhua is 30-years-old this year, unmarried, 168cm tall, weighs 50kg, and her measurements are 34, 26, 34.
Indeed very gorgeous/glamorous, and I bet the children all like attending her class. However, are the children in the class listening to the lesson or just staring at her?

Places Are Disappearing


Wars, pollution, expansion of settlements and a large number of tourists threaten to destroy some of the most famous monuments of human civilization and natural beauty. These are some of them
Great Wall of China

Today, almost two thirds of the wall, a long 6352 kilometers, destroyed by erosion, commercialism (one 500-year-old tower is set up kiosks with picama) and uncontrolled development.
Maldives

Although it seems unlikely that an entire country goes down, that’s what happens to the Maldives, which makes 12,000 islands with a variety of underwater world. Since more than 80 percent of the land is below one meter above sea level, the Maldives primarily threatens global sea level rise caused by global warming. Tsunami of 2004. already wiped out several small atolls, and the geographic map of the state had to be changed.

This treasure endanger not only tourists and thieves, but the Nile. Construction of the Aswan High Dam led to the accumulation of salt in the fertile soil around the temples, which have undermined their ancient foundations and flooded many tombs with water.
Venice Italy

Almost from the moment of its in-habitation, 452nd The city sinks more than one centimeter per year. African tectonic plate on which Italy is slowly being thrust under the European plate and causes a rise in the level of the Adriatic Sea. Heavy machinery by pumping water below the city and huge waves that make up a large cargo and passenger ships even more worsen the situation and raise sea levels. Venice lacks the resources to take adequate measures to save.
Coral Triangle of Indonesia

Coral Triangle, famous for its rich underwater flora and fauna of the world, stretching from eastern Indonesia to Papua New Guinea, Philippines, enters the water, Malaysia and the Solomon Islands. There live more than 3,000 species of fish and 600 species of corals, namely 75 percent of species known to science. But this ecosystem is increasingly threatened by over-fishing, use of poisons and explosives to kill fish, thus permanently destroying their habitat. Some fish, such as grouper, are almost completely extinct. The increase in sea temperature leads to bleaching, that is to coral death.

The two six-year olds and three-year old gangsters were flipping hand gang signals as they were led away by the Covington Gang Unit (CGU).
All kidding aside, these little devils are the real deal, the burglars were caught by the homeowner returning from shopping, and apparently fled. Their fatal misstep? The mistake made by many a carrier criminal, as usual, staying too close to the crime scene.
The list of the loot they were caught with:


Two hammers
A board game (Candyland)
A box of Little Debbie fudge rounds
Money
An unopened pack of cigarettes
A jar of vegetables

http://helablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/toddler_ganster_2.jpg (http://helablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/toddler_ganster_2.jpg)
By the time officers arrived, the children were playing across the street, Covington Police spokesman Jack West said.
But wait, there’s more, in true gangster fashion, as the officers approached the children, one of the 6-year-olds took what appeared to be a handgun and laid it on the ground (HUH!), West said. It turned out to be a realistic-looking pellet gun, he said.
None of the wee reprobates were arrested, since they were under ten, but their mother, Sarah Ann Davenport, (who had placed them under the care of a cousin while she attended foster parenting classes) was advised that she was responsible for their action.
Just wait. Soon they’ll be selling rock…candy, laundering Monopoly money, and become the biggest producers of counterfeit Pokémon cards.

'Dolphin man' denied record despite stunning swim


Sharenator.com (http://www.sharenator.com/) > 'Dolphin man' denied record despite stunning swim (http://www.sharenator.com/Dolphin_man_denied_record_despite_stunning_swim/)
Next Post >
American swimmer Hill Taylor stunned the crowd at a university event by completing the 50m backstroke in an astonishing 23.1 seconds - almost a second faster than the world record.

But the University of Texas star was denied a place in the record books since he swam the entire race under water, breaching rules that limit backstroke contestants to swimming no more than the first 15m of the race beneath the surface.

The rule restriction is due to the fact that swimmers can move much more quickly under water. They can take advantage of the superior hydrodynamics of the so-called "streamline" position, in which they point both hands dead ahead, tuck their heads into their collarbone and kick both legs in unison.

Taylor was well aware of the regulation, but decided to show off his skills in any case for the sake of bragging rights - and also to the delight of the crowd.

Until the rules are changed, Britain's Liam Tancock will continue to hold the record with 24.04 seconds - but Taylor can at least console himself with becoming a global web sensation after a video of his sub-aqua swim hit the internet.

8 Real Photographs That Prove Hell Exists on Earth (http://crazybee.net/8-real-photographs-that-prove-hell-exists-on-earth/)

Feb.03, 2011 in Weird world (http://crazybee.net/category/weird-world/)
A wise and sagely woman once posited that heaven is a place on a Earth. And if that’s true, then hell is just two exits down on the left. Oh, it exists, do not doubt it. It’s real, it’s right here and I have the goddamn pictures to prove it. Literally. These are images damned by God.
His Coming Shall Be Foretold

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_1-500x338.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_1.jpg)
“Welp, looks like we’ve angered the Hellephant again. Water? Ha ha ha! What the ***** Steve?! Is this your first day? No. Bill, you break out the iron cruciforms. Gus, start stabbing the hoses into virgins. Carl, I’m so sorry — you’re on Batchild patrol.”
This is actually an undoctored picture of a fire at a chemical factory in the Netherlands. It took 150 firefighters to put out the flames, and while the plant burned completely to the ground, no injuries were recorded despite the toxic fumes. Though surrounding citizens were warned to stay inside to avoid possible respiratory infections and rampaging Balrogs.

His Shadow Shall Block the Sky

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_2-500x323.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_2.jpg)
This is what happens immediately after you finish signing that contract with Satan, and all you’re left with is a mysteriously echoing laugh. This is the Fourth Sign of the Coming, right before the ground starts bleeding but just after all cats disappear from the Earth. This is how you know God is displeased with your selection of Pope.
OK, so it’s actually a picture of a volcanic eruption at Fimmvorduhals in Iceland. But if you don’t think “flames overflowing the Earth, resulting in a dark red cloud blocking out the moon itself” is some sort of portent of the endtimes — then thanks for reading, Azazel of the Thousand Mouths! I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule of raping betrayers to read my stuff. While you’re here, maybe you can click that Facebook share button; I bet Despair and Calthogh the Worm would get a kick out of this shit.
The Earth Shall Bleed

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_3-500x293.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_3.jpg)
What, you thought I was kidding about the Dark Eclipse coming right before the Earth starts bleeding? What kind of horrible jackass would joke about something like that?
This is a picture of, no shit, a place called Blood Falls in Antarctica. Here’s the actual explanation: “2 million years ago the Taylor Glacier sealed off a small body of water that contained a community of microbes. This small pool of wild animals has not seen oxygen, sunlight or heat since that time. As the earth warmed and the glaciers in Antarctica melted away, these organisms have been independently evolving for eons without any outside contact. Until now, when they’ve suddenly sprung forth from the glacier. The frothy water is rich in iron, which gives it the striking red color. These strangely alien microbes may exist nowhere else on earth, and they give scientists an idea of what kind of life may survive after the earth becomes uninhabitable by almost all other life forms.”
So, there’s a place called Blood Falls, located on the frozen, cruel and empty continent of Antarctica, that contains strange life forms which have been sealed away for untold ages, and have now awoken and spilled forth onto the world. Oh yeah, and they’ll probably be the last things alive on the planet.
His Servants Are Among Us

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_4.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_4.jpg)
Let’s be fair: This is just a portrait of an unfortunate woman. Unfortunate because she’s lived just a bit too long and has grown to resemble some horror-trope crone. Unfortunate because she’s clearly suffering from some bizarre health issues. Unfortunate because she does not have access to care to correct these issues. And perhaps most unfortunate of all, because she has given her body over to demons who now walk the Earth in human skin, only distinguishable by their black eyes and the goddamn horns growing out of their heads.
This is most likely a common skin condition called a cutaneous horn, which is basically just compacted keratin — the same protein in hair and nails — protruding from the epidermis. If this is indeed a cutaneous horn, they’re often benign and can usually be removed surgically. Though that does not treat the underlying cause, which is either excessive sun exposure to already damaged skin, or the devil coming to live inside the empty shells left behind by suicides.
Beware His Little Messengers

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_5.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_5.jpg)
If doves are the messengers of the Lord, then the Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko is probably Old Scratch’s preferred postal carrier. Though you should know that these guys are utterly harmless. They’re tiny — usually two to five inches long — and are endemic to the little island of Madagascar. So you’re not likely to stumble across one in the first place, and it certainly won’t hurt you if you do.
It won’t hurt you at all. It needs you.
It might ask you to hurt others, though. Oh, softly enough at first, in half-heard whispers borne on the wind, but they will grow louder, more frequent and more insistent — until one day you wake up to find yourself in a bathtub filled with liquid that used to be your family. And what will the Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko do? Why, just take a gander at that picture again: It will smile, friends. It will smile.
On a Fiery Steed He Rides

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_6-500x317.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_6.jpg)
This is either a picture of the exact moment that Satan busted out his hot rod and started tearing ass into the apocalypse, or else poor Marty’s stuck right at 87 MPH again. This photo was taken at Serra da Leba, a landmark road in Angola, and while it hasn’t been digitally altered, it is a long exposure taken over 60 seconds. You could cry foul that a manipulated image shouldn’t make the list, hypothetical reader, or you could choose to contemplate the implications of that fact instead. Perhaps evil moves at a different speed than man; perhaps it is a slow and creeping thing. And maybe, if you weren’t so rash, so impulsive — if you could just stop and consider it for one little minute — maybe you could finally trace back its fiery path.
Or hey, maybe it just looks bitchin’ and I’m trying to show you a neat picture. Either way — shut up, hypothetical reader. God, you are being such an ass right now!
In His Unholy House

http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_7-500x333.jpg (http://crazybee.net/pictures/hell_7.jpg)
The entrance to hell is a labyrinth. A vast, snaking maze of caverns bathed in fire, where the lost and the damned wander, uncertain and afraid, for untold eons. The fires burn so hot and for so long in those twisted, screaming caves that the rock itself melts and drips down like water. The burning liquid passes through skin like air; it fuses to bone.

French-style bedroom
Number 10 French style painted furniture, like the Feather & Black bed, looks pretty and makes a room feel cool, calm and elegant. Combine with crisp, white bed linen from The White Company (http://www.thewhitecompany.com/) and a few floral cushions for a truly romantic feel.

Leather furniture bedroom
A neutral colour scheme, deep mahogany furniture and a sturdy leather bed with a subtle pink-striped bedspread from Lee Longlands (http://www.leelonglands.co.uk/) make this master bedroom appeal to both sexes. The bedside table, lamps and mirror frame, also in soft brown leather, add a tactile element to the room.

Boudoir-chic bedroom
Indulge your love of the girly boudoir by choosing antique-style, delicate furniture and embossed metal pieces. A traditional-style dressing table from French Style Company sets the tone and is teamed with boudoir-chic accessories like the dressmaker's dummy from Velvet (http://www.velvetstore.co.uk/). Stick to a neutral colour scheme to keep the room looking grown-up.

Bedroom storage
Box shelves from B&Q (http://www.diy.com/) are hung symmetrically above the bed provide storage that?s as practical as it is eye-catching. The seven-drawer chest from New Heights (http://www.new-heights.co.uk/) is great for clearing clutter ,and the wall light is handily located on the wall, freeing up the bedside table.

Formal bedroom
This bedroom is a great place to unwind. This ultra calm space is given a touch of glamour with a sophisticated colour scheme of midnight blue, deep plum and grey, with luxurious bed linen from Marks & Spencer. Floating shelves from Dwell (http://dwell.co.uk/) are a great way to display accessories without taking up too much space. Matching pendant lights add a formal touch.

Vibrant purple bedroom
This bedroom uses a vibrant purple so the scheme doesn?t feel gloomy, and combines a patterned wallpaper from Osborne & Little (http://www.osborneandlittle.co.uk/) in a corresponding tone. Matching purple accessories, like the cushions, continue the palette, and plush velvets and silks add to the opulent feel that purple creates.

Traditional bedroom
Neutral coir carpets balance the patterned Laura Ashley (http://www.lauraashley.com/?tmcampid=4&tmad=c) wallpaper so the bedroom doesn?t seem too busy, and TK Maxx bedding perfectly merges two colours. A large basket at the foot of the bed is a softer alternative to a wooden trunk.

Contemporary bedroom
Mixing smooth neutrals with aqua and a hint of pink in a bedroom design gives a relaxed atmosphere with a modern edge. Walls painted in aqua starts of the theme, and are mirrored in accents like the matching cushion made in fabric from Sansderson and the pink mohair throw from Cologne & Cotton (http://www.cologneandcotton.com/). The dark wood furniture from New Heights (http://www.new-heights.co.uk/) lends a strong base for these fresh colours within the bedroom design.

Modern minimalist bedroom
White walls and curtains are a backdrop to the black kingsize platform bed, which complements the wenge wood floor. A huge pleated lampshade from Edge Interiors (http://www.edgeinteriors.co.uk/) mirrors the folds of the curtains. Fresh white bed linen from John Lewis (http://www.johnlewis.com/) is dramatic against the glossy wood.

French-style bedroom
An ornate antique bed bought at Gloucester Antiques Centre and distressed side tables blend into the neutral background of this light-filled, French-inspired loft bedroom. Handmade decorative Roman blinds and small flower arrangements add just a hint of colour. A chandelier provides glamorous lighting.http://decentplayboy.com/forum/images/smilies/YM%20-%2077.gif

Top 10 Dragons


One of history’s greatest myths spawning controversy regarding its apparent possible existence is dragons. Every civilization has had record of some form or another of the dragon be it on totem poles, cave drawings, or literature, so, one could conceivably assume that some kind of dragon-like creature may have roamed the earth. Yes, we all know dinosaurs existed, but none really looked like the fabled dragon of lore. They differ in basic body structure, however, the world over from the standard reptilian pose of the towering beast fought against by mighty knights, to the Oriental serpentine type. Dragons, in every form, remain a popular beast of imagination and legend and continue to fascinate. Here are ten of the most popular from film, literature, and history.
10. Eragon
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/eragon-tm.jpg?w=300&h=207 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/eragon.jpg)
Created and written by Christopher Paolini, Eragon is a poor farm boy who stumbles upon a most unusual stone which eventually turns out to surround a dragon, Sephira. The two try to outwit the forces of evil while attempting to become friends and learn the ways of the famed Dragon Riders along the way. It spawned a feature film released last year, a second book in the trilogy called Eldest, and the release date of the third book stands as September 23, 2008. And, as of October 30th, the trilogy will be expanded to four books.
9. Mushu
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/mushu-tm.jpg?w=300&h=194 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/mushu.jpg)
Hanging around with a woman who’d just as soon be a man so she could do battle in war, Mushu (voiced by Eddie Murphy) the Oriental dragon keeps the abstinent Mulan company in the Disney feature film. She eventually falls for the prince and everyone is happy.
8. St. George and the Dragon
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/st-george-tm.jpg?w=190&h=300 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/st-george.gif)
In Christian hagiography, St. George, (275-303 AD) did victorious battle with a huge dragon saving countless cities and becoming a reluctant hero in now modern-day Turkey and becoming a venerated Christian martyr. In 1941, a feature film by Disney was adapted from Kenneth Grahame’s novel The Reluctant Dragon about St. George (or Sir Giles) jousting a much older dragon named ‘The Timid Dragon’. St George is, of course, the Patron Saint of England.
7. Fin Fang Foom
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/finfangfoom-tm.jpg?w=270&h=300 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/finfangfoom.jpg)
In the Marvel universe, the gigantic, alien, serpent-like dragon (or, occasionally, more four-legged dragon-like), Fin Fang Foom has done battle with any number of super hero groups like the Fantastic Four and Iron Man. He hibernates with the aid of magic and a special herb, but when he attacks, he wreaks some serious havoc.
6. Draco from Dragonheart
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/dragonheart-draco-tm.jpg?w=300&h=263 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/dragonheart-draco.jpg)
The film released in 1996 gave us perhaps one of the finest digitally-created dragons ever and perhaps the most authentic as well. Voiced by Sean Connery, Draco finds himself the last living dragon who has become the target of a village’s wrath and therefore the knight, Bowen (Dennis Quaid) by proxy. The two decide on trickery and Draco moves on into legend.


5. Lollipop Dragon http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/lollipop-dragon-tm.jpg?w=166&h=300 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/lollipop-dragon.jpg)
Gary Wilmot voices this classic children’s treasure seen the world over in classrooms and on kid’s television since 1986. The dragon and his friends must always, in many incarnations of the program, face off against the evil Baron Bad Blood. He always saves the day!
4. Smaug
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/smaug-tm.jpg?w=300&h=225 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/smaug.jpg)
Tolkein has had a hand in creating such lasting literary characters as Hobbits, the evil Sauroman, and Uru’kai, as well as the ancient dragon called Smaug. Existing in the novel The Hobbit, Smaug is the denizen of Lonely Mountain and the guard of all the treasure within. Once Bilbo Baggins discovers an open spot among Smaug’s gem-encrusted belly scales, the Dwarves take back what is rightfully theirs.
3. Falcor
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/falcor-tm.jpg?w=300&h=198 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/falcor.jpg)
Leave it to a curious youngster named Bastion to find a tome about a Neverending Story and the dying land of Fantasia in which the hero, Atreyu, must confront a series of obstacles on his way to do battle with the evil Nothing. Along the way he finds a Luck Dragon (or rather, it finds him) called Falcor and the two become best friends.
2. Elliot from Pete’s Dragon
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/elliot-tm.jpg?w=280&h=278 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/elliot.jpg)
Who wouldn’t love a sometimes-invisible dragon as a best friend? Well, Pete certainly does, but the bigger issue is that Elliot doesn’t know when to behave and his own child-like innocence causes trouble for the town of Passamaquatee. Having the ability to blow fire proves useful at the end when Elliot redeems himself by igniting the torch in a most important light house.
1. Puff The Magic Dragon
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/puff-tm.jpg?w=300&h=224 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/puff.jpg)
Though started initially as a song by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Puff has gone on to cause quite a stir of myths including the idea that ‘puffing the magic dragon’ had something to do with smoking a joint. Denied by every member of the band, the idea behind the song was just meant to be mystical and silly, and each claim never to have done any illicit drug. Eventually, the song would go on to spawn a movie in 1978, voiced by Burgess Meredith.

10 Extraordinary Tales of Extraordinary Twins


The world has always had a curiosity of the unique bond that is linked with of twins. The collection of stories below are 10 interesting accounts from recent years associated with twin births. This list is not meant to be a historical look at twins, but rather some unusual recent stories – therefore it excludes people like the first siamese twins. 10 Psychic Twins
Linda and Terry Jamison – b 1955

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/picture-3-12.png?w=400&h=307
Linda and Terry Jamison are twins from the United States who claim to have predicted the September 11th attacks two years ahead of time. On November 2, 1999, they claimed that through an automatic writing process there would be a terrorist attack on the federal government and the World Trade Center in 2001. The actual quote is, “we are seeing various terrorist attacks on federal government and also the New York Trade Center, the World Trade Center”. The twins did not specify the time or indicate who would be responsible. The Jamison twins also predicted that John F. Kennedy Jr. would die by plane crash. However it has been pointed out that the Jamison twins are frequently incorrect. In December 2003, they incorrectly predicted that Saddam Hussein would be killed by U.S troops and that Pope John Paul II would die in June 2004.

9 Oldest Mother to Give Birth to Twins
Omkari Panwar b 1938 (Twins b 2008)

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/omkari385-384286a-tm.jpg?w=400&h=192 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/omkari385-384286a.jpg)
70 year old Omkari Panwar and her husband 77 from India already have two adult daughters, and five grandchildren. Male children are especially important among India’s Hindus. Only a male heir can carry out funeral rites and female infanticide remains a chronic problem, largely because the dowry system, though banned, is commonly practiced. Their male child will also be able to work the families land. To pay for the IVF treatment vital to producing a male heir to the family’s smallholdings, they sold their buffalos, mortgaged their land, spent their life savings and took out a credit card loan. Mrs. Panwar gave birth to twins a boy and girl by emergency Caesarean section The twins were born a month premature and weighed 2lb each but are healthy according to doctors.
8 Black and White Twins
Alicia and Jasmin Singerl b 2006

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/0528149900ew0-tm.jpg?w=400&h=274 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/0528149900ew0.jpg)
Alicia and Jasmin were born to a mother of Jamaican-English descent and a father of German descent. Alicia’s eyes are brown and her hair is dark. Jasmin’s eyes are blue and her hair is white. Genetic expert’s explanation for this very unusual occurrence is the mother has a mixture of genes that determines skin color. When egg cells are formed in the mother, a random selection of genes will be allocated to each egg. The set of chromosomes in each egg cell is unique. In most cases a mixed-race woman’s eggs will be a mixture of genes for both black and white skin. In very rare cases the eggs may contain genes for predominantly one skin color. In this case, the mother released two such eggs – one with predominantly dark pigmentation genes and one with predominantly fair genes.
7 Telepathy Twins
Richard and Damien Powles

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/picture-2-26.png?w=400&h=300
Even Though the idea of a special connection between identical twins is often myth and legend little research has been done in this field. The book ‘Twin Telepathy” claims an overwhelming body of evidence indicating that there is indeed a special connection. One of the experiments involved 8-year-old Richard Powles who was put in a soundproof room in front of a bucket filled with ice-cold water. On command, Richard plunged his arm into the ice cold water, giving a gasp as he did so. In another room well out of sight or earshot, his identical twin brother Damien was wired up to a polygraph. A polygraph expert monitored his respiration, abdominal muscles, pulse and galvanic skin response (sweat on the hands). All Damien had to do was sit quietly and “tune in” to his brother’s feelings. At the exact moment of Richard’s sharp intake of breath caused by the freezing water, there was a sudden blip on the line monitoring Damien’s respiration rate. In another experiment, Richard was asked to open a cardboard box; in it was a huge rubber snake that jumped out at him. This, too, was instantly picked up by his twin as the pulse line on the chart clearly indicated. The book also concludes there are three especially telepathy-prone groups – mothers and newborn babies, dogs and their owners, and identical twins. Of these, it is the twins who pick up the signal at full strength most often, provided that they are in the right states of mind. The image above is a stock photo as no pictures could be found of Richard and Damien.
6 Separated at Birth Twins
Tamara Rabi and Adriana Scott b 1983

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/image582079x.jpg?w=370&h=278
Tamara and Adriana were born in Guadalajara Mexico and were separated at birth and raised by different adoptive parents. Tamara was adopted by a Jewish couple who lived close to Central park in Manhattan. Adriana was adopted by a Roman Catholic family and grew up near Long Island just 20 miles away from where Tamara lived. Neither knew she had a twin sister. Tamara’s adoptive mother also did not know but Adriana’s adoptive mother knew but kept her twin a secret from her daughter. When the twins were 20 years old they were constantly getting confused by the other sister’s friends. Eventually mutual friends put two and two together and arranged for them to meet. Despite different upbringings, Tamara and Adriana discovered they had very lead similar lives. The twins’ adoptive fathers both died of cancer, Adriana plays the clarinet and Tamara plays the sax and they both love listening to R&B and hip hop. They also both wanted to be vets when they grew up. The reunited twins and their widowed moms have now formed a close bond.


5 Silent Twins
June and Jennifer Gibbons b 1963

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/silenttwin-mainimage-forweb.jpg?w=260&h=356
June and Jennifer grew up in Britain. The twin sisters were inseparable, and had speech impediments which made it very hard for them to mix in with other children. The Gibbons also were the only black children in their school, and faced racism. Their language eventually became unintelligible to outsiders and spoke to no one except each other and their little sister. They would complete each other’s sentences and could communicate with no more than facial expressions. In their early teens they were given two diaries as Christmas gifts. This inspired them to send away for a mail order course in creative writing, and each wrote several novels that were published. It is theorized that because they were so desperate for recognition and fame and publicity for their books, the girls committed a number of petty crimes including arson. June & Jennifer were committed to a mental health hospital where they remained for 14 years. Because of the medications given to them in the hospital they lost most of their interest in creative writing. The girls apparently had an agreement that if one died, the other must begin to speak and live a normal life. During their stay in the hospital, they began to believe that it was necessary for one twin to die. Jennifer eventually agreed to be the sacrifice. Within hours after their release at the age of 30 Jennifer died of sudden inflammation of the heart. To this day, Jennifer’s death remains a mystery. After loosing her twin, June was able to speak with other people and contemplates resuming to her writing career.
4 Born 2 Months Apart Twins
Catalin and Valentin Tescu b 2004 & 2005

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/050208-raretwins-hmed-5p.hmedium-tm.jpg?w=400&h=259 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/050208-raretwins-hmed-5p.hmedium.jpg)
Catalin and Valentin from Romania are twins with different years of birth. Catalin was born in December (2 months premature). The doctors were able to wait and deliver her second son Valentin two months later in February. Romanian doctors attributed the time lag in the births to a rare congenital condition that gave the twins mother two uteruses due to a congenital malformation that occurred when she was herself an embryo in her mother’s womb. Approximately one in every 50,000 women has a double uterus but the hospital believes this was the first case where a woman had become pregnant at the same time in both wombs and given birth nearly two months apart. The two brothers were both healthy when they were released from the hospital on the same day.
3 Half Brother Twins
Tuen and Koen Stuart b 1993

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/dtl-twins-lovingboth-050923.standard.jpg?w=400&h=301
Wilma and Willem Stuart, a Dutch couple had been unsuccessfully trying to conceive for years and decided to try IVF. They soon learned they would be parents of twins. When the two boys were born, Koen had blue eyes, dark hair and pink skin, Tuen had dark eyes dark hair and brown skin. A DNA test revealed that Koen was the Stuarts child but Tuen was not Willem’s. The report of the investigation has not been made public, but speculation is that a piece of lab equipment called a pipette, like a large eyedropper, had been used twice, causing another man’s sperm to be mixed with Willem’s. The hospital called it a “deeply regrettable mistake”. The Stuarts remembered there was a black couple in the waiting room the same day during the IVF process. The hospital located the man and confirmed he was Tuen’s biological father. Although he was under no obligation to meet his son he never knew he had, he did when Koen was 18 months old. The biological father only looked at him from a distance and didn’t try to claim him and was comfortable that the Stuarts loved the child, and let them continue raising him.
2 Conjoined Twins
Abigail and Brittany Hensel b 1990

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/26-tm.jpg?w=370&h=334 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/26.jpg)
Many know and have followed the story of the Hensel twins. They are now 18 and recently graduated from high school. Only four known sets of conjoined twins who share an undivided torso and two legs have ever survived into adulthood. By coordinating their efforts, they have been able to enjoy many hobbies and sports including volleyball, kickball, swimming, basketball, and cycling. Two years ago the girls passed their driver test and had to pass the test twice because each girl received a driver’s license. They also play the piano and are avid computer users. Abigail and Brittany expect to date, get married and have children. They hope that by providing some information about themselves they will be able to lead fairly typical lives.
1 Experimental Twins
Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein b 1969

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/girls2710-468x379-tm.jpg?w=400&h=323 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/girls2710-468x379.jpg)
Elyse and Paula were born to a woman with schizophrenia and were put up for adoption. Child psychologist Dr Viola Bernard, a consultant to the adoption agency believed twins should be separated to improve their psychological development so Elyse and Paula were sent to different families. Elyse knew that they had been adopted but neither one knew they were twins. When Elyse turned 33 she decided to contact the New York State Adoption Information Registry to look for her birth mother. It was then that she also discovered she had a twin. About six months later the twins were reunited. What makes this story even more incredible is it was also discovered that Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein were part of a secret nature versus nurture study by Dr Neubauer and his colleague Dr Viola Bernard. Neubauer was a noted child psychiatrist and studied five sets of twins and one set of triplets who were all deliberately separated at birth. The adoptive families would travel separately to the center once a month for 12 years for IQ tests and speech analysis. Researchers would also visit their homes and film the children playing. The adoptive parents were told they were part of a child development study but were kept in the dark about the twin/ triplet aspect. The set of triplets and two other sets of twins in the study have also been reunited, but it is not known if the remaining two sets of twins have. The controversial study has not been published, but will be in 2066, when most of the participants will likely be dead.

Pacific Barreleye – Rare, Transparent Headed Fish


The Pacific Barreleye Fish has a clear, transparent head and highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes – featuring green, orb-like lenses. These pictures and videos are the first ever of this rare, beautiful deep water fish. First filmed in 2004, but not released until late 2009, the images show us a glimpse of the life of this very rare fish species.
http://thinknice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/fish-transparent-head-1-600x450.jpgFirst Ever Image of the Rare, Transparent Headed Pacific Barreleye Fish




The fish was discovered in deep water off California’s central coast by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). This is the first specimen of its kind ever found alive with its transparent head intact. The only other examples seen of this fish were already dead, mangled by fishing nets.
http://thinknice.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/fish-transparent-head-2-600x450.jpgClose-Up View of the Clear Headed Pacific Barreleye Fish

The fish grows to approximately 6 inches (15-centimeter) in length and goes by the scientific name of Macropinna microstoma. The Pacific Barreleye has been known since 1939, but only from dead, mangled specimens dragged to the surface by fishing nets.

Top 10 Most Haunted Places


Everyone seems to know of at least one haunted house; as kids there was almost certainly one in our own neighbourhood. This list contains the most famous and most haunted places in the world. If you have had any experiences of a similar nature, feel free to tell us about it in the comments. I should add, before starting, that I am a skeptic; I have written this list for entertainment value.
1. Borley Rectory, Essex, England

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/geuu-03-img0504-tm.jpg?w=266&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/geuu-03-img0504.jpg)
The haunting of the Borley Rectory during the 1920s and 1930s, is undoubtedly one of the most famous in Britain, as well as being one of the most controversial. The wealth of sightings and experiences by independent witnesses, suggests that although much of the phenomena can be explained in rational terms, a percentage remains which can still be seen as inexplicable at the present time.
2. The Whaley House, California

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/whaleylights2-tm.jpg?w=252&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/whaleylights2.gif)
Author deTraci Regula relates her experiences with the house: “Over the years, while dining across the street at the Old Town Mexican Cafe, I became accustomed to noticing that the shutters of the second-story windows [of the Whaley House] would sometimes open while we ate dinner, long after the house was closed for the day. On a recent visit, I could feel the energy in several spots in the house, particularly in the courtroom, where I also smelled the faint scent of a cigar, supposedly Whaley’s calling-card. In the hallway, I smelled perfume, initially attributing that to the young woman acting as docent, but some later surreptitious sniffing in her direction as I talked to her about the house revealed her to be scent-free.”
3. Raynham Hall, Norfolk, England

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/ghostlady-tm.jpg?w=278&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/ghostlady.jpg)
aynham Hall is a country house in Norfolk, England. For 300 years it has been the seat of the Townshend family. The hall gave its name to the area, known as East Raynham, and is reported to be haunted, providing the scene for possibly the most famous ghost photo of all time, the famous Brown Lady descending the staircase. However, the ghost has not been reported since the photo was taken. Its most famous resident was Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend (1674-1738), leader in the House of Lords.
4. The Myrtles Plantation, Louisiana

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/myrtles-plantation-ghost-picture-chloe-832-532x337-1-tm.jpg?w=315&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/myrtles-plantation-ghost-picture-chloe-832-532x337-1.jpg)
The Myrtles Plantation was built in 1796 by General David Bradford and called Laurel Grove. Touted as “one of America’s most haunted homes”, the plantation is supposedly home of at least 12 ghosts.[9] It is often reported that 10 murders occurred in the house, but historical records only indicate the murder of William Winter. Possibly the most well known of the Myrtles supposed ghosts, Chloe (sometimes Cleo) was reportedly a slave owned by Clark and Sara Woodruff. According to one story, Clark Woodruff had pressured or forced Chloe into being his mistress. Chloe and Clark were caught by Sara Woodruff, and Chloe began to listen at keyholes, trying to learn what would happen to her.
5. Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/esp0075.jpg-tm.jpg?w=296&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/esp0075.jpg.jpg)
Designed by John Haviland and opened in 1829, Eastern State is considered to be the world’s first true penitentiary. Its revolutionary system of incarceration, dubbed the Pennsylvania System, originated and encouraged solitary confinement as a form of rehabilitation. On June 1st, 2007 a television show called “Most Haunted” went live to the penitentiary. Part of the group went to Al Capones cell. Two people passed out while “investigating” the prison. One member of the team, Yvette, stated that “this is the most evil place I have ever been.” They claimed to have had contact with spirits but there was no hard evidence that their claims were legitimate.


6. The Tower of London, London

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/tower-of-london-tm.jpg?w=267&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/tower-of-london.jpg)
Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress The Tower of London, more commonly known as the Tower of London (and historically simply as The Tower), is an historic monument in central London, England on the north bank of the River Thames. Perhaps the most well-known ghostly resident of the Tower is the spirit of Ann Boleyn, one of the wives of Henry VIII, who was also beheaded in the Tower in 1536. Her ghost has been spotted on many occasions, sometimes carrying her head, on Tower Green and in the Tower Chapel Royal.
7. Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Kentucky

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/beth001.jpg.w300h225-tm.jpg?w=266&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/beth001.jpg.w300h225.jpg)
Waverly Hills Sanatorium, located in Louisville, Kentucky, opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. It has been popularized on television as being one of the “most haunted” hospitals in the eastern United States, and was seen on ABC/FOX Family Channel’s Scariest Places On Earth as well as VH1′s Celebrity Paranormal Project. It was also seen on the Sci Fi Channel’s Ghost Hunters. Ghost investigators who have ventured into Waverly have reported a host of strange paranormal phenomena, including voices of unknown origin, isolated cold spots and unexplained shadows. Screams have been heard echoing in its now abandoned hallways, and fleeting apparitions have been encountered.
8. The Queen Mary, California

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/queen-mary-001-tm.jpg?w=266&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/queen-mary-001.jpg)
RMS Queen Mary is an ocean liner that sailed the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for Cunard Line (then Cunard White Star Line). The Queen Mary was purchased by the city of Long Beach, California in 1967 and transformed into a hotel. The most haunted area of the ship is the engine room where a 17-year-old sailor was crushed to death trying to escape a fire. Knocking and banging on the pipes around the door has been heard and recorded by numerous people. In what is now the front desk area of the hotel, visitors have seen the ghost of a “lady in white.” Ghosts of children are said to haunt the ship’s pool.
9. The White House, Washington DC

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/whitehouse-tm.jpg?w=310&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/whitehouse.png)
The home of the presidents of the United States. President Harrison is said to be heard rummaging around in the attic of the White House, looking for who knows what. President Andrew Jackson is thought to haunt his White House bedroom. And the ghost of First Lady Abigail Adams was seen floating through one of the White House hallways, as if carrying something. The most frequently sighted presidential ghost has been that of Abraham Lincoln. Eleanor Roosevelt once stated she believed she felt the presence of Lincoln watching her as she worked in the Lincoln bedroom. Also during the Roosevelt administration, a young clerk claimed to have actually seen the ghost of Lincoln sitting on a bed pulling off his boots.
10. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/edinburgh-castle-tm.jpg?w=266&h=200 (http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/edinburgh-castle.jpg)
Edinburgh Castle is reputed to be one of the most haunted spots in Scotland. And Edinburgh itself has been called the most haunted city in all of Europe. On various occasions, visitors to the castle have reported a phantom piper, a headless drummer, the spirits of French prisoners from the Seven Years War and colonial prisoners from the American Revolutionary War – even the ghost of a dog wandering in the grounds’ dog cemetery.

Canopy Living: The Ultimate Tree House


http://twistedsifter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ultimate-tree-house-design-robert-harvey-oshatz.jpg
There’s the tree house your Dad built for you in the backyard, and then there’s the tree house Robert Harvey Oshatz built in the forests of Portland, Oregon. Designed in 1997 and completed in 2004, the Wilkinson Residence is in perfect harmony with its surroundings. Built on a steep sloping lot, the living space resides amongst the forest canopy, making your morning coffee most enjoyable. With more curves than Lombard Street (http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=EX7&q=lombard+street&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=nwoVS7v6C4ielAfptP3OBQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBIQsAQwAA), the Wilkinson Residence is a property you have to see to believe.

Description from the architect: Robert Harvey Oshatz (http://www.oshatz.com/text/wilkinson.htm)
A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. This house evades the mechanics of the camera; it is difficult to capture the way the interior space flows seamlessly through to the exterior. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.

Taking a swim in the Devil’s Pool (http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/taking-a-swim-in-the-devils-pool.html)

f you’re ever inZimbabwe, don’t miss the chance to take a swim in The Devil’s Pool, a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls. Set on Livingstone Island, at a height of 103 meters, Devil’s Pool is definitely one of the most surreal locations on Earth.

Audi A9 Concept Car Repairs Itself, Changes Body Color



Audi A9 concept from the reputed Spanish designer Daniel Garcia who has Ducati 6098 R concept and may other to his credit. The awesome A9 concept will be lighter than Audi’s current flagship model, A8. Inspiration for the styling of A9 comes from the stunning architectural style of Santiago Calatrava’s buildings in “La Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias in Valencia.
http://realitypod.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/daniel-garcias-a9-concept-2-550x256.jpg (http://realitypod.com/2010/05/a9-concept-car-repairs-itself/daniel-garcias-a9-concept-2/)

Daniel’s A9 concept is a low emission hybrid vehicle for the future. A9 concept features a single-piece windscreen and its roof is formed from nanotechnology material (which is yet to be discovered) that has a unique automatic-system that repairs damage and can also be adjusted for colors and opacity.

Also, the vehicle flaunts the unique ‘electronic painting’ system that allows the owner to change the color with the touch of a button. The concept is proposed to be powered by an advanced hybrid setup which uses an internal combustion engine working in conjunction with four in-wheel electric motors.

Crocodile Attacks A Baby Elephant

Crocodile Attacks A Baby Elephant

Published on Monday, November 1, 2010 by administrator (http://animaltales.info/blog/author/administrator/) 10 Comments ↓ (http://animaltales.info/blog/crocodile-attacks-a-baby-elephant/?utm_source=wahoha.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wahoha#comments)



This baby elephant was attacked by a crocodile in South Africa. It didn’t take long once the cries from the baby elephant were heard for a whole herd of elephants to come to the rescue. The leader of the charge was probably the female matriarch of the herd.
Under the watchful eye of its family, the baby elephant had gone to the edge of an African waterhole for a drink.
Unfortunately, the leafy pond was perfect camouflage for a hungry crocodile, which clamped its teeth on to the end of its surprised victim’s trunk and began a tug-of-war.
Or, as Kipling writes in The Elephant’s Child: ‘And the Elephant’s Child spread all his little four legs and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and his nose kept on stretching; and the Crocodile threshed his tail like an oar, and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and at each pull the Elephant’s Child’s nose grew longer and longer – and it hurt him…
Hearing the baby’s calls of distress, the herd of elephants immediately went to its rescue, scaring off the crocodile by trumpeting and stamping the ground. After the attack the herd stayed with the youngster.
When the baby had recovered the herd crossed the waterhole together in safety, only yards from where the crocodile had been hiding.

12 People Who Died Performing


(http://listverse.com/2010/07/15/12-people-who-died-performing/)As a one-time professional singer, I understand how grueling live performances can be. But, unlike all of the entries on this list, I survived my years in the spotlight. This list looks at twelve people who died in the midst of a performance.

12 Johnny Ace

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/ace460.jpg?w=400&h=260
Johnny Ace was a rhythm and blues musician, active from 1949 to 1954. Born in Tennessee in 1929 as John Marshall Alexander Jnr., he served his country in the Navy during the Korean War before becoming a musician. On Christmas 1954, Ace was performing in Houston, Texas, when, during a break in the set, he began playing with a .22 cal Revolver – as band members often did, shooting at road signs etc. It is widely reported that Ace was either playing Russian roulette during the break, or bragging about how the gun wasn’t loaded, when in fact it was. It’s reported he had been drinking, and was warned to “Be careful” as he waved his pistol around, before stating “it’s okay, gun isn’t loaded see?” while putting it to his head and pulling the trigger.

11 Edith Webster

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/stage_front_state.jpg?w=400&h=300
Edith Webster was an actress who performed on stage in theaters. She was performing in Baltimore, and, while singing her swan song “Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone”, collapsed and died, both in the play, and in real life. She had suffered a heart attack at the exact moment her character was meant to collapse and die. Obviously, the audience thought it was part of the act and applauded, unknowingly, at both her death, and the stagehands call for help, thinking it was part of the play.

10 J.I.Rodale

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/r_31-04a.jpg?w=269&h=350
Real name Jerome Irving Rodale, was a playwright, editor, author and publisher, born in 1898. During his life he published various Organic Farming magazines. While not technically a performer, he died while appearing as a guest on the Dick Cavett show in 1971. Having finished his interview, but still being on-stage, Cavett brought out his second guest, Pete Hamill – a columnist for the New York Post. It was during this interview that Rodale let out a “snoring sound”, which got laughs from the audience, before the camera zoomed in on his face and Hamill said jokingly, “This looks bad”. Still, the audience laughed, although Cavett wasn’t – he says he ‘knew’ Rodale was dead. Two interns rushed on to stage to try and revive him, but couldn’t. Ironically, during his interview, he said “I’m in such good health that I fell down a long flight of stairs yesterday and I laughed all the way”, “I’ve decided to live to be a hundred”, as well as “I never felt better in my life!” He had also previously bragged that “I’m going to live to be 100, unless I’m run down by some sugar-crazed taxi driver.”

9 Paul Mantz

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/mantz6.jpg?w=400&h=296
Stunt pilots live on the edge of life and death all the time, but Paul Mantz managed to survive a long career as a stunt pilot and racing pilot champion. It was during the filming of ‘The Flight of the Phoenix’, in 1965, that Mantz died, while attempting a very low flight over a desert site in Arizona. According to reports, Mantz’s plane struck a small hillock and he lost control. After trying to save the aircraft, it split in two and nosed into the ground, killing him instantly. Officials have blamed alcohol consumption before the stunt as the reason his judgment and efficiency were not as they should have been. The final credit in The Flight of the Phoenix says, “It should be remembered… that Paul Mantz, a fine man and a brilliant flier, gave his life in the making of this film…”

8 Karl Wallenda

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/50b3ead0c3f3.jpg?w=400&h=258
Karl Wallenda was a German daredevil born in 1905, and the founder of ‘The Flying Wallendas’ – an international dare devil circus act. He was most famed for his wire walks, which he would perform between two very high structures without a safety net, particularly in his later years. In 1978, at age 73, he died while attempting to cross between two towers of a ten story hotel in Puerto Rico. While crossing the gap, winds of around 30 miles per hour were enough to cause Wallenda to lose his balance and fall 121 feet to his death. He was quoted as saying, “Life is being on the wire; everything else is just waiting.”

7 Leslie “Les” Harvey

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/0-6.jpg?w=400&h=300
Leslie Harvey, born in 1945, was a Scottish guitarist for many bands during the 1960s and 1970s, most notably Stone the Crows. Before their formation in 1969, however, Harvey played with the band ‘Cartoone’ as they toured the United States supporting Led Zeppelin. On 3 May 1972, while performing with Stone the Crows at the Swansea Top Rank Ballroom in Wales, he touched an unearthed microphone with wet hands and was electrocuted. The shock killed him.






6 Eric Morecambe

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/eric-morecambe-001.jpg?w=400&h=240
John Eric Bartholomew, OBE was an English comedian who, together with Ernie Wise, formed the award-winning comedy duo ‘Morecambe and Wise’. He took his stage name from the seaside town of Morecombe, in which he grew up. He became a famed presenter and comedian throughout the years, co-hosting the hugely popular ‘The Morecambe and Wise Show’, which hit a record 28 million viewers on one of their Christmas Specials. Throughout his career he suffered 2 heart attacks, before succumbing to the third on 28 May, 1984. He was appearing at a comedy show at the Roses Theater in Tewkesbury, and, due to his huge popularity, returned to the stage six times after the end of his show. After his sixth return he announced “That’s your lot!” before leaving the stage. After walking off-stage, he joked “Thank goodness that’s over”, before collapsing. He was pronounced dead at 4am the next morning. He was 58.

5 Jon-Eric Hexum

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/jon_erik_hexum_10.jpg?w=268&h=350
Jon-Eric Hexum was an actor and model, born in the 50’s in New Jersey. He played various roles in American television programs before landing his big lead role in the series ‘Cover Up’ in 1984, in which he played a model turned weapons expert and CIA agent. As with most shows that include guns, the prop .44 Magnum was loaded with blanks, however, it is reported that Hexum was unaware that this prop gun would still shoot out paper wadding which was used to seal gun powder in the shell. During the shooting of a scene where he was to empty the gun of real bullets and load it with blanks, a technical problem meant the scene was delayed, and Hexum fell asleep. Upon waking he realized the scene still wasn’t done and began playing with the gun. It is reported he was playing Russian roulette with the gun, which was loading with 3 empty cartridges and 2 blanks. He put it to his head and said “Let’s see if I’ve got one for me” before pulling the trigger. While the paper wadding didn’t penetrate his skull, it hit with enough force to dislodge a quarter-size piece of skull and propel it into his brain. The accident happened on 12 October, 1984, and, despite 5 hours of surgery, Hexum died 6 days later – he was declared brain dead due to the massive bleeding in his brain. His mother flew his body to San Francisco to be harvested for organ transplants before he was buried.

4 Brandon Lee

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/brandon-lee-the-crow-photograph-c10104025.jpg?w=282&h=350
Brandon Bruce Lee was the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, and was born in 1965. During his relatively short career, he walked in his father’s footsteps and starred in many kung fu and action films throughout the 80’s and 90’s. In 1992, he landed the starring role in ‘The Crow’ – a film based on an underground comic book about an undead musician. On March 31, 1993, the crew were filming a scene in which Lee’s character, Eric Draven, finds his girlfriend being beaten and raped by thugs. As he walked onto set, an actor playing one of the thugs was supposed to shoot at Lee with a gun loaded with blanks. Because of various tamperings with the gun, and the blanks being used (the extent of which is still not fully understood), the gun was left with enough primer to push the bullet cartridge out of the gun. Although at a speed much slower than a proper bullet, from close range, it could still prove dangerous. The malfunction went unnoticed and Lee was hit in the abdomen as the bullet traveled through his body and lodged in his spine. The scene was immediately cut and an ambulance called, though it is believed his heart stopped beating on the way to the hospital. Despite a six-hour operation, and 60 pints of blood transfusions, Brandon Lee died at 1:04pm. He was just 28 years old. He was buried next to his father in Washington.

3 Dimebag Darrell

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/dimebag.jpg?w=265&h=350
Dimebag Darrell (real name Darrell Lance Abbott) was an American guitarist famous for being a founding member of the metal bands Pantera and Damageplan. Born in 1966, throughout his music career he was praised and widely regarded as “one of the most influential stylists in modern metal”. He was killed on stage while performing with Damageplan, on December 8th 2004, by an ex-marine called Nathan Gale. Gale shot Abbott 5 times, including once in the head, before turning on others and shooting a further 10 shots. He killed 3 more people, including an employee of the arena, and Damageplan’s head of security – both of whom tried to wrestle the hand gun from his hands, and an audience member as he tried to perform CPR on Abbott. He also wounded 7 others. He was killed by a policeman who approached him from behind, as he had a hostage in a headlock, and he was shot in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun. A nurse tried to revive Darrell but he was dead by the time paramedics arrived.
The reasons for Gale’s attack have been debated. An initial motive that was theorized was that Gale was angry at the breakup of Pantera and blamed Abbott for this, or that, apparently, Pantera had stolen a song written by Gale. Another theory suggested Gale was a paranoid schizophrenic and was convinced Damageplan members were reading his mind and stealing his thoughts. Darrell Abbott was buried in a KISS casket, with Eddie Van Halen’s Charvel Hybrid VH2 guitar.

2 Owen Hart

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/owen_hart.jpg?w=248&h=350
Owen James Hart was a Canadian wrestler, born in 1965, who won multiple titles during his career, most notably during his time at the WCW, and the WWF. He started his wrestling life in Japan, wrestling for the NJPW (new Japan pro wrestling) circuit, and gained popularity throughout his time in America. He was most memorable for his relationship with his brother, Bret, and his feud with Jerry Lawler, as well as winning his tag team title with Yokozuna. Hart died on May 23rd, 1999, during his arrival to the ring for an Intercontinental Championship match with The Godfather, during the Over-The-Edge pay-per-view event. He was supposed to be lowered into the ring on a harness, where he would be dropped a meter or so from the surface for comedic effect. Tragically, his harness malfunctioned and released Hart too early. He fell 78 feet (24 meters) into the ring and landed chest first on the top rope before being propelled into the middle of the ring. He was able to sit up for a short while after the accident, before losing consciousness. He was rushed to hospital, but pronounced dead on arrival. Hart had died from internal bleeding, due to a severed aorta.

Tommy Cooper
http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/tommycooper.jpg?w=244&h=350
Tommy Cooper was a welsh-born, British prop comedian and magician, famous for the red fez he always wore, and the persona he crafted of a magician whose tricks always go wrong. Cooper died on April 15, 1984, as he performed live on television for a variety show entitled “Live from her Majesty’s”. During a sketch in which he was to pull numerous objects from a gown, just after his assistant helped him put the gown on, Copper collapsed and sat against the curtain while the audience and his assistant laughed, thinking it was an impromptu part of his act. He then fell backwards onto his back, creating more laughs. However, as the minutes passed, it was apparent that something had actually gone wrong, and it wasn’t part of his act. Another curtain was closed to hide where he had fallen, and other acts carried on on the front of the stage. People backstage tried to resuscitate him but couldn’t. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Westminster hospital, from a heart attack. He was 63 years old. Controversy later arose from the fact the video of him collapsing was posted on YouTube. It can be found by searching ‘Tommy Cooper death’.

The Fifth Face of Mount Rushmore

http://www.moillusions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mtrushmore1.jpgI’m not exactly sure if Jerome Santucci discovered this interesting phenomenon, or did he just report what he learned. Apparently, if you observe Mount Rushmore from certain point, you can see that four former US presidents aren’t the only ones present. Turning the photo for 90 degrees can help you visualize the fifth persona even better! Who would you say it represents? Think this was by accident or intentionally planned?
Anyway, here’s an interesting fact about Mount Rushmore: did you know that the four presidents carved into the granite were initially planned to be depicted from head to waist? Unfortunately, lack of funding forced construction to its end. Either way, the memorial still attracts approximately two million people annually! You can see Gutzon Borglum’s (man behind the idea) original plans by visiting this wikipedia page.

Marijuana Found at Osama Bin Laden’s Abbottabad Compound
http://cdn.brobible.com/images/buzz/osama.jpg

Here's an item of note about the recent events in Pakistan: Over the past 24 hours it has been widely reported that ganja was growing along the outside walls of Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad. We'll let CNN, who first broke this little nugget of knowledge, explain the specifics:


My immediate reaction: It's a plant that's indigenous to that region of the world. So... who cares? Whether he was smoking pot or not doesn't mean he's any less of an evil, murderous son of a bitch. Nor does it mean that weed should be further stigmatized because of its proximity to an awful human being. That's just a ridiculous non sequitur.

Top 10 Myths About Sex

There is a lot of sex talk out there, but there are just as many fallacies finding their way between the sheets as there are truths. Now we all know that the size of a man’s appendage versus his outer extremities (hand, head, foot) has no proven correlation, and nor does the act of self-gratification stand to make one go blind. There are however several myths that have not been publicly chastised for their ridiculous nature, and often are still believed to be truth rather than fiction. Let’s look at these top ten myths about sex.


10. A Cold Shower Dashes the Libido

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cold-shower-535x400.jpg

A cold shower has been said to curb peak sexual appetite, simply by reducing the amount of testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women. There is simply no proven basis for this belief, and in fact, an English study for Thrombosis has shown that a cold shower actually stimulates libido by increasing hormone levels. The end result is even more sexual excitement than was first started with. Take heart all ye anxious ladies and gentlemen, as I hear a ball peen hammer and wooden plank still does wonders for destroying ones sexual appetite!
9. The Power of a Lover’s Stare

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bb2-272x400.jpg

The power of a lover’s stare has been written in romance novels ever since an ink pen was first laid to a piece of parchment. True lovers have been said to have the ability to stare into each others eyes for hours on end, falling in love again and again, without ever growing tired. However, what has actually been found in studies, is that staring at your lover has about a 50/50 chance of promoting feelings of love and passion. The other fifty percent of the time it promotes aggression and annoyance, which has been documented in couple studies as fighting and arguing. I guess it is true… all’s fair in love and war!
8. Sex During the Final Stages of Pregnancy

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/pregnant-sex-560x372.jpg

A lot of expecting couples express fear of hurting their baby during intercourse. Especially during the final trimester. However, most research today not only shows that intercourse is completely safe for the child, it actually can promote a healthier, speedier labor and delivery. It is an old wives tale that sex is bad for the fetus once it is past a certain stage of growth. Many doctors say that you should be able to have a healthy sexual relationship with your partner right up until the day of delivery. Chalk much of this myth up to man’s over-exaggeration of his unit!
7. Thinking of Someone Else During Sex is a Bad Sign for a Relationship

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/name-sex-356x400.jpg

Did you know that upwards of 90% of all sexually active folk in the world think about someone else during sex with their partner. It is actually a completely natural part of a healthy sexual relationship. The majority of folks think about friends, neighbors, or co-workers, while a slightly smaller percentage (25% of Canadian men) prefer fantasizing about imaginary characters. Everything from Betty Boop to the Lone Ranger has run through the minds of countless lovers over the decades, and should not be considered an indicator that a relationship is heading for the rocks.
6. Women and Fast Cars (Modern Myth)

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/GirlInMaserati-560x346.jpg

If you were to ask a woman today if she was turned-on by the growl of a big engine, she would probably scoff at the thought. In fact, in light of the popular green movement, it is now popular for women to prefer men who drive environmentally-friendly vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius. However, a recent study says differently… a lot differently. It turns out, women show substantial increases in sexual arousal (measured by testosterone in saliva) while listening to the sound of a high performance Maserati, as compared to a low performance Volkswagen (VW) Polo. In fact, the VW actually decreased the arousal of women below that of the baseline of watching the nerdy scientists test their equipment before the study began. Talk about an anti-aphrodisiac!
5. Inbreeding Produces Babies with Three Heads

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/juan_de_miranda_carreno_002-287x400.jpg

While considered a bit of a joke, inbreeding has been said to cause everything from a baby with three heads to mutant X-Men. In truth, while inbreeding should not necessarily be considered a good thing, it is not nearly as bad as some people think. A 30-year Western Australian study, looked at cultures who regularly practice first cousin marriages and found no abnormalities in their offspring beyond that of what would be expected from any other traditional, unrelated couple. The same myth also applies to inbreed animals, who are not always the weaker of the species.
4. Race is a Good Indicator of a Man’s Sexual Endowment

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/wiltchamberlain_schoemaker-263x400.jpg

While some races have enjoyed basking in the limelight of these rumors, there is actually no scientific basis of this myth. While your cousin’s friend, who knew a girl, who dated several professional basketball players claims this myth maybe true, a study from the Porterback Clinic, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, and St. James’ Hospital, says differently. The study found that a man’s physical endowment had absolutely nothing to do with his race, creed, or color. It’s has much more to do with that haphazard toss of the genetic die that came soon after that glimmer from our parents eye.
3. Plentiful Sex and the Swinging Single

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lonely-guy.jpg

While it is common belief that once you get married, sex gets thrown out the window, most research suggests that married couples actually have more sex than the swinging single. This is mostly because couples living together are presented with more opportunities to have sex. Anywhere from 25 to 300 percent more opportunity for sex, on average. However, over the course of marriage, sex dwindles, leaving the frequency of sex comparable to that of a lifetime of living single. One way to improve your odds of having more sex, is to marry multiple times. However, the stress of all those marriages/divorces just might toss you right into an early grave, leaving you with even less sex!
2. Sex Every Seven Seconds

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/man-thinking-about-sex.jpg

The common belief by many women, is that men think about sex at least once every seven seconds. Truth is, men today are actually too weighed down with thoughts of success and finances to devote that kind of brain power to the subject. In fact, only half of men (54 percent) think about sex once per day according to the Kinsey Institute, while the other 43 percent designate just a few fantasies spread out over the course of a week. An abysmal 4 percent think about just once over the course of an entire month. Talk about a grossly overinflated female-chauvinistic rumor.
1. Premature Ejaculation (PE) is an Abnormality

http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/premature-ejaculation.jpg
No man has ever been proud to be deemed a “premature ejaculator” by his lover, but in truth it is more of a hardwired system for survival, than an abnormality. The average male can last 5.4 minutes before lift-off, which was biologically pertinent to the population of the planet back in the early days. When faced with man-eating chickens, men had to get the job done quick. There was no time for flowers, song, and love poems. The threat of a Tyrannosaurus charging while in the throes of passion, was enough to make him even quicker, which is why anxiety is still one of the leading causes of PE.

Some Very Tall Girls

A lot of people suffer from illnesses which they aren’t even aware of. Tall people are no different. Acromegaly is a a hormonal disorder that most commonly occurs in middle-aged men and women. The prevalence of Aromegaly is approximately 4,676 cases per million population, and the incidence is 116.9 new cases per million per year. The name “acromegaly” comes from the Greek words for “extremities” (acro) and “great” (megaly), because one of the most common symptoms of this condition is abnormal growth of the hands and feet. Take a look at these pictures, I have nothing to say, I’m speechless after having seen these pictures.

Why Megan Fox is Famous? (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/)Bioagrapy Darlene Tonachio gave birth to Megan Fox in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. After her parents divorced, Fox grew up in a strict household maintained by her mother and stepfather. Fox claims that throughout her high school career, she was constantly targeted by bullies because she got along better with boys, and other girls resented her for it. Hmm , we wonder why the boys liked having her around? But in between eating lunch alone in bathroom stalls and showing boys her bra strap, Fox was taking acting classes while harboring aspirations of stardom. By 17, Fox had moved to Los Angeles, and was landing guest roles in various low-profile projects. http://sortofmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sexy-Megan-Fox06.jpg (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/sexy-megan-fox06/) http://sortofmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sexy-Megan-Fox03.jpg (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/sexy-megan-fox03/) http://sortofmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sexy-Megan-Fox01.jpg (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/sexy-megan-fox01/)
http://sortofmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sexy-Megan-Fox02.jpg (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/sexy-megan-fox02/) http://sortofmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sexy-Megan-Fox08.jpg (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/sexy-megan-fox08/) http://sortofmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Sexy-Megan-Fox04.jpg (http://sortofmag.com/2011/03/why-megan-fox-is-famous/sexy-megan-fox04/)


WHY IS SHE FAMOUS From the moment a sultry, slinky brunette named Megan Fox bent over the hood of a ’76 Camaro in Michael Bay’s Transformers, we knew our lives would never be the same again. It was a moment that marked the arrival of a brand new sex symbol — the ultimate sex symbol. Since helping Shia Labeouf’s nerdy alter-ego Sam Witwicky pitch the world’s largest tent, Fox has gone on to transcend mere movie stardom, on her way to becoming a global icon in near-record speed. With only four major Hollywood films to her credit (including this summer’s Jonah Hex), Megan Fox has appeared on the cover of every major men’s magazine, topped all the requisite hot lists, and is a gossip blog mainstay. But by the same token, the oceans of ink devoted to Fox have some (including Fox herself) crying oversaturation, a fact evidenced by this year’s “Megan Fox Media Blackout Day,” and by her recent sacking from the third Tranformers film. Hey, at least she still has Brian Austin Green; the on-again-off-again couple recently became engaged for the 400th time. Don’t worry fellas, these days it’s all about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley anyway.

World's deepest swimming pool


One of its most unique features is that it maintains a constant temperature of 30 degrees, achieved through solar panels placed on the roof of the building. The building has three fresh air ducts and several caves. It also has a tube with a diameter of six meters, which reaches the bottom of the pool.

24 things you can clean with lemon

This green cleaner and natural disinfectant has a wonderful smell, and best of all, you probably have one in your refrigerator right now.


http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/main_lemon.jpg

How could the versatile lemon be associated with things that don’t work well? High in citric acid, lemon juice one of the best natural cleaners due to its low pH and antibacterial properties. Lemons also smell great and aren’t likely to cause damage to materials around what you are cleaning such as fabric or wood.

When cleaning with lemons always rinse with warm soapy water and dry with a clean cloth afterwards. One of the very few things you can’t clean with lemon juice is anything that is brass plated as the juice will damage the item. Aside from that, here is a list of items that can be cleaned with lemons.

1. Use a half lemon and salt to clean even the most heavily discolored brass (real brass, not brass plated). Be careful with antiques. Always test a small spot before scrubbing away.

2. The same method can be used for copper items such has copper bottoms of pots.


3. You can also shine up your chrome faucets or the chrome on older model cars with lemon and salt.


4. Diluted lemon juice not only cleans stains from cutting boards, but helps kill germs as well. Rub the juice full strength onto the stain and let sit until the stain fades. Can be left overnight, then rinsed well and dried.

5. Use lemon juice and an old toothbrush to scrub grout.

6. Clean your microwave and remove odors. Place a cup 3/4 full of water with a couple tablespoons of lemon juice in the microwave. Heat to boiling. Don’t open the door for another 10 minutes. Then just wipe away food particles with a clean cloth and dry.

7. Put a dilute solution of lemon juice in a spray bottle to clean laminate counter tops. Rinse with water and dry afterward.

8. Scrub grills and grates with lemon juice and salt.

9. Soak plastic food storage containers in dilute lemon juice to remove stains and odors. Add baking soda and scrub, rinse and dry.

10. Remove rust stains from cotton and polyesters. Make a paste with lemon juice and cream of tarter and rub the mixture into the stain. Let the item sit for about a half hour, and then wash as normal (test before use).

11. Sanitize your garbage disposal. Pour a gallon of hot water mixed with a half cup of lemon juice down the drain. This tip is from Hometalk.com member Ann (http://www.hometalk.com/activity/16356) from Conyers, Ga. (Hometalk.com is a social network dedicated to home improvement.)

12. Brighten your clothing by soaking clothes in a hot water and lemon juice mix (about a half cup per gallon of water) and then wash as normal. Works best if laundry is then dried in the sun. Lemon juice should not be used on silks or other delicate fabrics. If you are uncertain, test a tiny area first.

13. Add a few drops of lemon juice to your dish soap to boost degreasing ability.

14. Remove odors from your refrigerator with a half lemon on a saucer. Change once a week.

15. Clean food preparation smells from your hands with a dilute solution of water and lemon juice.

16. Remove grease stains from clothing. Rub lemon juice into the spot and let sit overnight and then wash as normal.

17. Clean windows (http://cleaning.networx.com/window-cleaning/) and mirrors. Put a few tablespoons of lemon juice and water into a spray bottle. Works as well as a vinegar solution and smells better.

18. Keep your toilet bowl fresh. Place a half cup of lemon juice in the bowl and swish with a toilet bowl brush.

19. Sanitize earrings by placing them in a saucer of lemon juice.

20. Unclog your drain with a mixture of baking soda followed by lemon juice. The foaming action will clear minor clogs.

21. Clean hard water stains on glass shower doors with half a lemon.

22. Clean mineral buildup on tea kettle and coffee pots by boiling lemon slices in the pots. Allow the mixture to sit for an hour or two, and then rinse and dry.

23. A dilute lemon juice rinse for your hair cuts soap residue and leaves hair softer and shinier.

24. Lastly, you can make a facial scrub of sugar and lemon juice for cleaner, softer skin.

German fashion designer makes clothes from milk

The designer turns milk into milk fibers by extracting the casein from the milk. The result is a truly organic fabric.

http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/MilkClothes_main_1006.jpg
MILK SEAMSTRESS: Fashion designer and biochemist Anke Domaske poses with a dress, milk fibers and a bottle of milk at her studio in Hanover, Germany. (Photo: ZUMA Press)


BERLIN — A young fashion designer from the German city of Hanover is revolutionizing high fashion by designing clothes with a staple she can find in her fridge — milk.

Anke Domaske, 28, has developed a fabric called QMilch made from high concentrations of the milk protein casein — the first man-made fiber produced entirely without chemicals.


"It feels like silk and it doesn't smell — you can wash it just like anything else," Domaske told Reuters.

Made from all natural materials, the QMilch fabric is ecological but also has many health benefits, said Domaske, who also said the amino acids in the protein are antibacterial, anti-aging and can help regulate both blood circulation and body temperature.

Domaske's fashion label Mademoiselle Chi Chi — a favorite among the likes of Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson — has now started weaving the milk fiber into its collection.

Currently the MCC clothes — which feature flowing wrap dresses with edgy cuts and bright patterns — are made from a combination of various fibers, including QMilch. But Domaske plans to design a collection made entirely from the milk fiber.

Milk fabric has been around since the 1930s but was always produced in unecological ways that used a lot of chemicals. Unlike earlier prototypes, QMilch is made almost entirely from casein.

"We have developed an all-natural fiber consisting of a very high concentration of casein, with a few other natural ingredients — and in only two years," the former microbiology student Domaske said.

The casein is extracted from dried milk powder and then heated up in a type of meat-mincing machine with other natural ingredients. The fiber comes out in strands and is then spun into yarn on a spinning machine.

Domaske said it would take about 6 liters of milk to produce an entire dress, which costs about 150 euros ($199) to 200 euros.

Luckily, for that kind of money, the clothes don't come with an expiration date — during the heating process, the molecules bind in such a way that the protein won't decompose.

Due to its anti-bacterial qualities, the milk fiber can also be used in medicine and makeup. Even some auto companies have looked into using the fiber for car upholstery.

($1 = 0.753 Euros)

Iceland volcano: The best photo ever?

A photographer caught the Iceland volcano erupting with the northern lights in the background. The result? Pretty awesome.


http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/user-74/volcanoinside.jpg

To capture stunning pictures of an erupting volcano would be enough for most photographers, but one lucky snapper also got the Northern Lights thrown in for good measure. As a blanket of ash grounds planes across Europe, this picture shows the beauty of the volcanic eruption in Iceland.

Albert Jakobsson had set out for the Fimmvorduhals volcano near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier some 125 kilometers east of Reykjakik in temperatures of minus 20 to see the stunning eruption. He walked across the glacier to get to a good spot and started snapping away. He was literally just packing up, when suddenly the aurora borealis appeared.

The kitchen spa

These five foods will nourish your skin — from the outside in.


http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/4227.jpg
Help your skin survive unpredictable weather with these two essential steps: exfoliation and moisturization. Skin-cell buildup leads to dryness, poor circulation and blemishes. Exfoliation eliminates these dead cells, revealing fresh skin that is better able to absorb moisture. And guys, take note: While men’s skin tends to be oilier than women’s, men may be more prone to epidermal dehydration.

Food: Avocado

Purpose: Moisturizer
The scoop: Loaded with vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as potassium and fat, avocado is the perfect moisturizer. This natural soother is ideal for mature and weather-worn skin, reducing roughness, cracking and irritation. The oil found in the peel of the avocado contains a humectant, a substance that locks in moisture.
Recipe: Take a spent avocado peel and using gentle upward strokes, lightly massage your face with the inside of the peel. You can either leave on as a nighttime moisturizer or, for daytime, wash your face with it gently, rinsing three or four times with warm water; pat dry.

Food: Cucumber
Purpose: Moisturizer
The scoop: Cucumbers contain compounds known to tighten pores and reduce inflammation, which is why they’re the classic choice for minimizing puffiness around the eyes.
Recipe: Puree 1 tablespoon each of cucumber and parsley. Then blend in 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt until smooth. Cover your face with this creamy masque and leave on 15-20 minutes. This will rejuvenate your skin as it moistens. Rinse off with water.

Food: Oatmeal
Purpose: Exfoliant and moisturizer
The scoop: Oats are especially soothing for wind-worn or itchy skin, due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Finely ground oatmeal draws impurities from the skin, stimulates circulation and encourages new cell growth. Oat proteins also form a protective barrier to help retain moisture and prevent water loss.
Recipe: Mix 2 tablespoons each of ground oats and aloe vera with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice until you have a smooth paste. Gently massage onto damp skin. Rinse off with warm water. Excellent for your face or as a smoothing body treatment.

Food: Peach
Purpose: Exfoliant
The scoop: Peaches are rich sources of skin-renewing alpha-hydroxy fruit acids, which get rid of dead cells, and vitamins A and C to nourish new ones. Peach juice helps unblock pores, fight blemishes and may even lighten age spots and minimize wrinkles. Its astringent, toning effects are especially effective for oily skin.
Recipe: For a simple skin pick-me-up, cut a slice of a juicy peach and massage the flesh on your face. Leave the juice on for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Or rub the inside of the skins of a peach on your face for a few minutes at bedtime and let the juice absorb overnight.

Food: Strawberry
Purpose: Exfoliant
The scoop: Each strawberry packs a mighty dose of exfoliating vitamin C and alpha-hydroxy acids, which help remove dirt and dead skin cells. AHAs also help reduce pore size and minimize ingrown hairs due to shaving, especially important for men. Perfect for oily skin, strawberries improve texture, minimize greasiness, and encourage a healthy, radiant complexion.
Recipe: With a fork, mash 8-9 strawberries into a paste. Add 3 tablespoons of honey; mix. (Be sure not to over blend or the mask will be runny.) Apply directly to your skin and let sit for a few minutes, then rinse off.

8 unusual medical museums



http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/intro_museum.jpg

Weird science What types of museums do you enjoy frequenting? Contemporary art? Natural history? Or how about museums dedicated to parasites, flayed cadavers and skin diseases?

In a somewhat disturbing league all their own are medical museums, most of which were once private, granting access only to students and practicing physicians. In recent years, however, many museums where the permanent collections revolve around deformed body parts floating in formaldehyde (Damien Hirst, eat your heart out) rather than pretty oil paintings hung on walls have opened their doors to the public. There’s no doubting the macabre appeal of many of these museums, places where kindergarten field trips dare not tread, but their raison d'etre is purely educational. (Pictured here is "The horse and rider" at Musée Fragonard.)

Livers and tumors and 9-foot-long human colons! Oh my! Strong-stomached locals and nontraditional tourists looking to detour from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall have long flocked to Philadelphia’s “disturbingly informative” Mütter Museum to marvel at the institution’s mind-boggling collection of medical curiosities including the liver of famous conjoined twins Chang and Eng, the thorax of John Wilkes Booth, the Hyrtl Skull Wall (pictured) and more than just a couple deformed stillborn fetuses in jars and foreign objects removed from people’s throats. Decidedly not for the faint of heart, young children or those with sensitive gag reflexes and bellies full of Philly cheesesteak, the Mütter Museum is more stately medical library than macabre sideshow attraction, so it is best to leave your guffaws and giggles at home and be prepared for some respectful gawking … the corpse of the “Soap Lady” would most appreciate it.

They can never be just right; they must always be too small, too big, the wrong shape, too flabby. The characteristics of the mammary stereotype are impossible to emulate because they are falsely stimulated, but they must be faked somehow or another...

Foot Operated
Breast Enlarger Pump

In 1976, four million women in the United States each spent $9.95 on this device which caused bruising...and nothing more. The user created a vacuum by pumping the pedal with the foot. The http://www.museumofquackery.com/devices/images/benlarger4.jpgdevice consists of a pump, clear plastic tubing and three cups - all in large sizes.
A recent internet tour (12/98) found bust developers remain popular products. The "Professional Programme: Bust building" was on the low end: only $10 US for a 28 page booklet. It appears to be an exercise regimen. At the high end, $79.95 plus $7.95 shipping & handling, was NATURAL BREASTS. Ingredients included fenungreek and thyme making these awfully expensive herbs.
In Kennesaw, GA, a distributor claimed "In two weeks you will have bigger, firmer breasts" with Volum-Bust Creme ($33.95 for 1.7 oz.). Cleavage 4 cream brings us back to the kitchen: it uses aloe vera. honey, tea and safflower oil to allegedly produce "increases of 1/2 to 2 cup sizes (bra sizes) in 8 weeks." It might be paired with Cleavage 6 Breast Enhancement capsules which contain "gentle botanical ingredients." The two products cost $79.90 for about an ounce.
A website called Bust Enlargement sells "inflatable breasts." The product FAQ forthrightly states that these may be visible to a lover. If that's a problem, the distributor recommends subliminal tapes (promising 2 inches in 12 weeks!) for only $24.99.
The results? According to the US Food and Drug Administration: (http://www.fda.gov/)
For decades, millions of dollars have been spent on devices, creams and lotions advertised as breast developers. All wasted. There is no device or system of exercise that will increase the size of the breasts. At best, devices promoted as breast developers merely strengthen and develop the muscles that support the breasts, and exercising these muscles will not appreciably increase breast size.*

Still, the museum, which was established as a research facility by Satoru Kamegai in 1953, manages to pack ‘em in (http://tv.nytimes.com/learning/students/pop/articles/belson5.html) despite the unpleasantness of the subject at hand. The first floor of the museum offers a crash course in parasites, while the second floor showcases over 300 parasite specimens that are, predictably, dead, since they aren’t feeding off of other living creatures. (The lovely item pictured here is that of an unfortunate dolphin's parasite-ridden stomach.) The star attraction at MPM, you may ask?

However, the pièces de résistance are the super rare 18th century écorchés created by anatomist and accused “madman” Honoré Fragonard (not to be confused with his decidedly more mainstream cousin, the painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard).

Despite being relocated from a building once known as “State Lunatic Asylum No. 2,” there’s still an unsettling air at the Glore Psychiatric Museum, where the collection of “full-sized replicas, interactive displays, audio-visuals, artifacts and documents” focuses on the archaic — and frequently barbaric — methods once used to “treat” people suffering from mental illnesses. From straight jackets, fever cabinets and lobotomy instruments to electroshock devices and giant hamster wheels, many of the devices are “demonstrated” by '70s-era female glamour mannequins donated to the museum. (Shown here is a "dowsing tub," in which patients were repeatedly doused with ice-cold water.) Aside from the vintage department store mannequins chained and strapped into various devices, there’s also an artistic display of 1,466 inedible items — safety pins, screws, nails, buttons bottle caps, etc. — removed from the digestive tract of a former St. Joseph State Hospital patient. If anything, visitors will leave appreciative of the advances made in mental health treatment … and thankful that they weren’t accidentally locked into the museum overnight.

As with Chinese etiquette, the rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice is pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks.
Unlike with Chinese dishes, it is also practical to use chopsticks to pick up rice in plates, such as fried rice.
One should not pick up food from the table and place it directly in the mouth. Food must be placed in your own bowl first.
Chopsticks should not be placed in the mouth while choosing food.
Chopsticks should never be placed in a "V" shape when done eating; it is interpreted as a bad omen.
Chopsticks are most commonly made of bamboo or wood, bond, ivory and laquered in VietNam

The actual quote is, “we are seeing various terrorist attacks on federal government and also the New York Trade Center, the World Trade Center”. The twins did not specify the time or indicate who would be responsible. The Jamison twins also predicted that John F. Kennedy Jr. would die by plane crash. However it has been pointed out that the Jamison twins are frequently incorrect. In December 2003, they incorrectly predicted that Saddam Hussein would be killed by U.S troops and that Pope John Paul II would die in June 2004.

9 Oldest Mother to Give Birth to Twins
O**ari Panwar b 1938 (Twins b 2008)

19672
70 year old O**ari Panwar and her husband 77 from India already have two adult daughters, and five grandchildren. Male children are especially important among India’s Hindus. Only a male heir can carry out funeral rites and female infanticide remains a chronic problem, largely because the dowry system, though banned, is commonly practiced. Their male child will also be able to work the families land. To pay for the IVF treatment vital to producing a male heir to the family’s smallholdings, they sold their buffalos, mortgaged their land, spent their life savings and took out a credit card loan. Mrs. Panwar gave birth to twins a boy and girl by emergency Caesarean section The twins were born a month premature and weighed 2lb each but are healthy according to doctors.

8 Black and White Twins
Alicia and Jasmin Singerl b 2006

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/0528149900ew0-tm.jpg?w=400&h=274
Alicia and Jasmin were born to a mother of Jamaican-English descent and a father of German descent. Alicia’s eyes are brown and her hair is dark. Jasmin’s eyes are blue and her hair is white. Genetic expert’s explanation for this very unusual occurrence is the mother has a mixture of genes that determines skin color. When egg cells are formed in the mother, a random selection of genes will be allocated to each egg. The set of chromosomes in each egg cell is unique. In most cases a mixed-race woman’s eggs will be a mixture of genes for both black and white skin. In very rare cases the eggs may contain genes for predominantly one skin color. In this case, the mother released two such eggs – one with predominantly dark pigmentation genes and one with predominantly fair genes.

7 Telepathy Twins
Richard and Damien Powles

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/picture-2-26.png?w=400&h=300
Even Though the idea of a special connection between identical twins is often myth and legend little research has been done in this field. The book ‘Twin Telepathy” claims an overwhelming body of evidence indicating that there is indeed a special connection. One of the experiments involved 8-year-old Richard Powles who was put in a soundproof room in front of a bucket filled with ice-cold water. On command, Richard plunged his arm into the ice cold water, giving a gasp as he did so. In another room well out of sight or earshot, his identical twin brother Damien was wired up to a polygraph. A polygraph expert monitored his respiration, abdominal muscles, pulse and galvanic skin response (sweat on the hands). All Damien had to do was sit quietly and “tune in” to his brother’s feelings. At the exact moment of Richard’s sharp intake of breath caused by the freezing water, there was a sudden blip on the line monitoring Damien’s respiration rate. In another experiment, Richard was asked to open a cardboard box; in it was a huge rubber snake that jumped out at him. This, too, was instantly picked up by his twin as the pulse line on the chart clearly indicated. The book also concludes there are three especially telepathy-prone groups – mothers and newborn babies, dogs and their owners, and identical twins. Of these, it is the twins who pick up the signal at full strength most often, provided that they are in the right states of mind. The image above is a stock photo as no pictures could be found of Richard and Damien.

6 Separated at Birth Twins
Tamara Rabi and Adriana Scott b 1983

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/image582079x.jpg?w=370&h=278
Tamara and Adriana were born in Guadalajara Mexico and were separated at birth and raised by different adoptive parents. Tamara was adopted by a Jewish couple who lived close to Central park in Manhattan. Adriana was adopted by a Roman Catholic family and grew up near Long Island just 20 miles away from where Tamara lived. Neither knew she had a twin sister. Tamara’s adoptive mother also did not know but Adriana’s adoptive mother knew but kept her twin a secret from her daughter. When the twins were 20 years old they were constantly getting confused by the other sister’s friends. Eventually mutual friends put two and two together and arranged for them to meet. Despite different upbringings, Tamara and Adriana discovered they had very lead similar lives. The twins’ adoptive fathers both died of cancer, Adriana plays the clarinet and Tamara plays the sax and they both love listening to R&B and hip hop. They also both wanted to be vets when they grew up. The reunited twins and their widowed moms have now formed a close bond.


5 Silent Twins
June and Jennifer Gibbons b 1963

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/silenttwin-mainimage-forweb.jpg?w=260&h=356
June and Jennifer grew up in Britain. The twin sisters were inseparable, and had speech impediments which made it very hard for them to mix in with other children. The Gibbons also were the only black children in their school, and faced racism. Their language eventually became unintelligible to outsiders and spoke to no one except each other and their little sister. They would complete each other’s sentences and could communicate with no more than facial expressions. In their early teens they were given two diaries as Christmas gifts. This inspired them to send away for a mail order course in creative writing, and each wrote several novels that were published. It is theorized that because they were so desperate for recognition and fame and publicity for their books, the girls committed a number of petty crimes including arson. June & Jennifer were committed to a mental health hospital where they remained for 14 years. Because of the medications given to them in the hospital they lost most of their interest in creative writing. The girls apparently had an agreement that if one died, the other must begin to speak and live a normal life. During their stay in the hospital, they began to believe that it was necessary for one twin to die. Jennifer eventually agreed to be the sacrifice. Within hours after their release at the age of 30 Jennifer died of sudden inflammation of the heart. To this day, Jennifer’s death remains a mystery. After loosing her twin, June was able to speak with other people and contemplates resuming to her writing career.

4 Born 2 Months Apart Twins
Catalin and Valentin Tescu b 2004 & 2005

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/050208-raretwins-hmed-5p.hmedium-tm.jpg?w=400&h=259
Catalin and Valentin from Romania are twins with different years of birth. Catalin was born in December (2 months premature). The doctors were able to wait and deliver her second son Valentin two months later in February. Romanian doctors attributed the time lag in the births to a rare congenital condition that gave the twins mother two uteruses due to a congenital malformation that occurred when she was herself an embryo in her mother’s womb. Approximately one in every 50,000 women has a double uterus but the hospital believes this was the first case where a woman had become pregnant at the same time in both wombs and given birth nearly two months apart. The two brothers were both healthy when they were released from the hospital on the same day.

3 Half Brother Twins
Tuen and Koen Stuart b 1993

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/dtl-twins-lovingboth-050923.standard.jpg?w=400&h=301
Wilma and Willem Stuart, a Dutch couple had been unsuccessfully trying to conceive for years and decided to try IVF. They soon learned they would be parents of twins. When the two boys were born, Koen had blue eyes, dark hair and pink skin, Tuen had dark eyes dark hair and brown skin. A DNA test revealed that Koen was the Stuarts child but Tuen was not Willem’s. The report of the investigation has not been made public, but speculation is that a piece of lab equipment called a pipette, like a large eyedropper, had been used twice, causing another man’s sperm to be mixed with Willem’s. The hospital called it a “deeply regrettable mistake”. The Stuarts remembered there was a black couple in the waiting room the same day during the IVF process. The hospital located the man and confirmed he was Tuen’s biological father. Although he was under no obligation to meet his son he never knew he had, he did when Koen was 18 months old. The biological father only looked at him from a distance and didn’t try to claim him and was comfortable that the Stuarts loved the child, and let them continue raising him.

2 Conjoined Twins
Abigail and Brittany Hensel b 1990

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/26-tm.jpg?w=370&h=334
Many know and have followed the story of the Hensel twins. They are now 18 and recently graduated from high school. Only four known sets of conjoined twins who share an undivided torso and two legs have ever survived into adulthood. By coordinating their efforts, they have been able to enjoy many hobbies and sports including volleyball, kickball, swimming, basketball, and cycling. Two years ago the girls passed their driver test and had to pass the test twice because each girl received a driver’s license. They also play the piano and are avid computer users. Abigail and Brittany expect to date, get married and have children. They hope that by providing some information about themselves they will be able to lead fairly typical lives.

1 Experimental Twins
Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein b 1969

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/girls2710-468x379-tm.jpg?w=400&h=323
Elyse and Paula were born to a woman with schizophrenia and were put up for adoption. Child psychologist Dr Viola Bernard, a consultant to the adoption agency believed twins should be separated to improve their psychological development so Elyse and Paula were sent to different families. Elyse knew that they had been adopted but neither one knew they were twins. When Elyse turned 33 she decided to contact the New York State Adoption Information Registry to look for her birth mother. It was then that she also discovered she had a twin. About six months later the twins were reunited. What makes this story even more incredible is it was also discovered that Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein were part of a secret nature versus nurture study by Dr Neubauer and his colleague Dr Viola Bernard. Neubauer was a noted child psychiatrist and studied five sets of twins and one set of triplets who were all deliberately separated at birth. The adoptive families would travel separately to the center once a month for 12 years for IQ tests and speech analysis. Researchers would also visit their homes and film the children playing. The adoptive parents were told they were part of a child development study but were kept in the dark about the twin/ triplet aspect. The set of triplets and two other sets of twins in the study have also been reunited, but it is not known if the remaining two sets of twins have. The controversial study has not been published, but will be in 2066, when most of the participants will likely be dead.
