The tightest city in the world?
You probably need a bike to make your way through the streets of this city. This is Shibam, one of the must-see cities of Yemen, situated in the middle of the desert it stands out like a skyscraper oasis surrounded by a thick, stone wall. It is indeed a sight to behold, but its beauty […]
Who said polar bears were carnivores
Not even polar bears can resist watermelons. If the rest of the polar bears in the world would learn that one of their brothers ate something other than meat, they’d probably lynch him or at least treat him like a pariah. But come on now, I understand him, after all watermelons are so delicious that […]
The mysterious 7 Strong Men
Kind of like the statues on Easter Island aren’t they? Manpupuner is a mysterious site in the northern Ural mountains, made out of seven rock towers bursting out of the flat plateau, also known as the “7 strong men“. Manpupuner is a very popular attraction in Russia, but not on an international level and information […]
The tree-house restaurant
Now that’s a hell of an idea to attract customers. This Okinawa Tree-House restaurant, on Highway 58 at the entrance in Onoyama Park in the south of Japan. What may look like a genuine tree is actually a man-made concrete structure, just like the French used to build in the lathe 19th century. Customers actually […]
Le petit Paris
This guy must really love the city of love! This man is Gerard Brion, he spent 15 years of his life building this model of Paris. Now that’s what I call a true patriot!
The Real Snake Eater
For all you gamers out there I’m not talking about Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series. This is Manoharan, a 27 year-old guy that performs one of the most growse-yet-cool stunts I’ve ever seen. He gets thin snakes through his nostrils and pulls them out through his mouth. Snake Manu, as he likes to […]
World’s tallest LEGO tower
This toy tower brings back memories… If you’re lucky enough to be living near Legoland Windsor, in England, than you’ll be able to examine this toy wonder in person. It may look pointless but this baby climbed its way into the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s Tallest LEGO tower. The former record was […]
Overweight pets – you gotta luv’em
How cute can these little guys get?!? I know, I know, these are hardly oddities, but these furry critters caught my eye while I was surfing the web and I couldn’t resist not posting something about them. Although being too fat is as bad for animals as it is for us humans, unlike us they […]
True Horse Power Vehicle
Now that’s as real horse power as you’ll ever get! When you first look at the Naturmobil it resembles a normal, modern stagecoach, but as soon as you see the horse in the back, standing on some kind of treadmill, you start to sense something is fishy. The Naturmobil is the ultimate horse-powered vehicle, because […]
Car balancing on wires
Coolest stunt I’ve seen in a while. This driver must be crazy to attempt such a dangerous car stunt. Sure simply walking on a string while holding a pole as balance is no easy feat either, but driving a car is on a whole other level, ant the height would certainly kill the guy. I […]
The art of stone balancing
I know it looks impossible, but it really isn’t… You’re probably thinking something like “myeah, another fake set of images” but I assure you they are all the real deal. Actually stone balancing is a very old art, passed on from generation to generation and frequently practiced for a number of reasons. Some do it […]
Discover Pamukkale – The Cotton Castle
Take this Photoshop! As you’ve probably seen in many of my posts, I always like to congratulate Mother Nature whenever I find some of her masterpieces that exceed even the powers of the mighty god Photoshop. This time I’d like to introduce you to the amazing terraced thermal pools of Pamukkale, Turkey. One of the […]
Largest foosball table ever
Man would I like to have that baby in my living-room… Unfortunately that is simply impossible, considering it is one of a kind and designed especially for UEFA Champion’s League Finals ad for Dutch beer, Amstel. Still only seeing it and imagining how playing foosball on a 22 player table would be like, is worth […]
World’s longest necks
Now this is what I call stretching it! The women of the Padaung tribe in northern Thailand hold the record for the longest necks in the world. According to tribal custom, even before they reach puberty, girls must start wearing iron coils around their necks and more and more are added through the years. The […]
