The baobab tree-bar
If you think that being a bar is the only fascinating thing about this tree, you’re dead wrong! This amazing tree is located in Limpopo, South Africa and it was transformed into a bar to keep the thirsty locals happy. But now more than 7000 tourists visit this place every year. The bar is inside […]
Dancing with crocs
I didn’t know crocodiles were easy to train, this guy proves that they are. Still, putting your head inside that beast’s head like that?!? And he looks like he doesn’t have a care in the world, like nothing could go wrong, it’s a little annoying. Buddy that thing has one of the strongest bites on […]
Limbo-skating champion
I’ve always found skating quite difficult, but skating under cars…what more can I say? Aniket Chindak is the unofficial world champion at skating under cars, he was able to skate under 57 cars in only 45 seconds, and now he’s getting ready to shatter his own record. “I first saw a girl skate under a […]
Fighting ouzels
I’m sure you’ve all heard about cock fights, but how many of you heard about ouzel fights? Yup, apparently they’re not just harmless birds with phenomenal voices but also very good fighters when they need to be. In India fights between short-legged ouzels are very popular, people actually breed and train them for this kind […]
The barking giants
They look like normal dogs on steroids but they’re one of the most sweet-tempered, generous, patient and intelligent breeds in the world, they are the Irish Wolfhounds. First of all, don’t worry, although they look big enough to eat people, they don’t. Actually they aren’t even very good watchdogs since they tend to greet everyone […]
Soon to be largest horse in the world
Meet Digger, a burly Clydersdale, Britain’s largest horse and soon to be largest horse in the entire world. At just 4 years of age, a regular teenager, Digger measures 19 hands and 2 inches and promises to stomp over the current record of 20 hands, held by Tina, a shire from Tennessee. Digger didn’t start […]
Aurora Borealis
Aurora Borealis are natural colored light displays, which are usually observed in the night sky, particularly in the polar zone. It often appears as a greenish glow (or sometimes a faint red), as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is […]
Scummacher’s island in “The World”
Some people are just too lucky! Lucky enough to receive a whole island in an exotic paradise, as a gift. Which brings us to Michael Schummacher, the best Formula 1 pilot that ever lived, who retired at the end of 2006 and received a $7 million gift, an island in “The World” from Sheik Mohammed […]
Overgrown vegies
Here’s a collection of abnormally large vegetables, a real treat if you’re into them, but for a hardcore carnivore like myself those things are freakin’ scary! Well I guess it would be nice to have them grow like this on a regular basis, they’d help solve the world hunger issue.
Tallest snowman ever
Come to think about it, snowman is not really the appropriate term, since it actually bears the name Olympia Snowe. Olympia was “born” in the town of Bethel, Maine and at 122 feet and 1 inch in length managed to toppled the world record previously held by…Bethel, Maine. Her eyebrows are made of skies, her […]
Are you sad? Take a happy pill!
Of course you’ll need to travel to Barcelona, Spain in order to get one but I hear they work every time. This has to be one of the most ingenious ideas I have ever heard, we all know sweets make everyone feel better so why not use them as actual anti-depressives? That’s exactly what the […]
World’s largest container ship
I’m sure most people think of container ships as just ships that carry containers and nothing more. Now I don’t know how many of you have actually seen one but these beasts can be quite impressive. And the most impressive is the Emma Maersk, the biggest container transporter in the world. With a declared capacity […]
The real Catman
And I’m not talking about the comic-book hero, but about the real cat-man…or Stalking Cat as he likes to be addressed to. David Avner, a native American, part Huron, part Lakota has spent more than $200.000 on plastic surgery to make himself look as a tiger, his totem animal. He even had all of his […]
Star Wars origami
Star Wars isn’t exactly one of my favorite films of all times, so I can’t say I’m really impressed by all these little paper foldings. I am however surprised to see people have enough time on their hands to actually sit down and start folding pieces of paper into Star-Wars memorabilia…Get a job!
Harbin Snow Sculpture Festival
I have to be honest and start by saying I’m a huge fan of winter and all that it implies, snow, ice, cold weather, the whole enchilada, so I guess I was a little subjective in picking this piece over others. But even you sun worshipers have to admit that these snow sculptures, especially the […]
