Blue, Green and Red Beer from Japan
Leave it to the Japanese to come up with something totally weird yet not totally unpleasant. After some of the weirdest.

Taken at the beginning of the 20th century, by English photographer Arthur S. Mole and his American colleague John D. Thomas, these living photographs show thousands of American soldiers posing as symbols of American history. I’ve seen a few of these living photos on the internet before, but it’s nice to finally find some real […]
Mega-Pizza
I like my pizza with rich toppings, just like everyone else I suppose, but how much is too much? Take this mega-pizza for example, the cook added a crazy amount of toppings, including, sausage, mushrooms, ham, shrimps, pineapple, cream-cheese, Parmesan, bacon and an egg on top. This delicacy was over 4 inches thick before going […]

Piglets Love Tequila!
Not the Mexican drink, although I’ve seen pigs eat and drink anything, but a 2-year-old Rottweiler/pit-bull named Tequila, who adopted six little pigs. It all started on a rainy Monday morning, when both farmer John Favreau’s dog and his sow gave birth. Because of the rainstorm, John had to move the piglets in his home, […]

Money Wallet Looks Awfully Tempting
Things are often more than they appear to be, but the money wallet is a lot less. Designed to look like a bunch of $100 bills in a rubber band, the Money Wallet looks awfully tempting to pickpockets, so it’s a good way to distract their attention and protect your savings.
The Bookcase Coffin
With the number of home burials on the rise in the US, people have a wider range of coffins to choose from. One of these options is the Bookcase Coffin, built by Chuck Lakin, a woodworker from Waterville, Maine.

Pimped-Out APC, Russian Style
Personally, I thought rollin’ around in a pimped-out Hummer was as cool as it could get, if you’re into big cars, but the Russians are on a whole other level. This Russian APC has to be the coolest personal vehicle ever. Painted in black and green chameleon paint, fitted with xenon lights and featuring GPRS […]
The Upside of a Flood
Floods are never pretty, they cause a lot of damage and sometimes even death. But, if you can, it’s good to see a positive side in everything. Take these two guys from Belarus, for example. After the streets of Minsk were flooded, on July 24, they found a way to turn things from tragic to […]
Giant Mortadella
I have been eating Mortadella ever since I can remember and I’m not even Italian. But I never knew Mortadella can be this big. Apparently, in Bologna and the surrounding area, the boiled sausage known as Mortadella can be as heavy as 200 kilograms. Even weirder is the fact that it’s cut into the thinnest […]
