The Glass Beach
Nothing more than a garbage dump between 1950 and 1967, California’s Glass Beach is now quite the tourist attraction. The Glass Beach used to be full of garbage, glass, broken china, rusted junk, all reduced by an ocasional fire or two. Fortunately the people realized the error of their ways and decided to clean up […]
World’s Dirtiest Job
Mike Rowe should give this dirty job a try. I watch Dirty Jobs as often as I can, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything worse than what this poor guy has to do. At least no without some protective gear. I’m sure the smells of extreme poverty and starvation are a lot worse than […]
Arabian Sandstorm
Saudi Arabia was paralyzed by a sandstorm this week. It might look in these photos but it’s a real nuisance if you’re in the middle of it. 30 cars were damaged in the city of Taif and over 35 people were injured. A similar sandstorm occurred in Iraq around this time in 2008.

Bad-ass Bridal Carriage
This has got to be the perfect alternative to the fairytale horse-pulled bridal carriage. A while ago we posted some photos of the motorcycle hearse, a bikers’ favorite last ride. Now it’s time for something a little less morbid, the motorcycle bridal carriage. Dan Dismile, a man passionate about motorcycles, cars and weddings decided to […]
Mini Moscow
If you don’t have the time to visit all of Moscow’s atractions you can see them all in miniature. Following France’s miniature model, Russians have created a miniature model of their beautiful capital, ever since 1986. During an annual workshop, every structure in the model is wiped of dust and workers replace old buildings with […]
Keep REALLY Still!
One thing I’d definitely wouldn’t do, whatever anyone would pay me. But if this Chinese chick agreed to do it, at least I hope it’s worth it.
World’s Smallest Car
It might not be exactly up-to standards design-wise, but the Peel P50 is the perfect car on a crowded street. Only 50 cars were prodused and sold between 1963 and 1964, but only 20 are still around today. The original price was 200 pounds, but today you can’t buy one of these micro-cars with less […]
It Came from the Toilet Bowl
Kind of like “They Came from Outter Space’, only this isn’t a movie and IT is a snake. I remember was a kid I was always a little reluctant to sit on the toilet, thinking that God knows what kind of creature may crawl up the pipes and into my…you know. Needless to say, after […]
Bad Panda
Panda Bear takes revenge on human kind by attacking a guy that ventured into his territory at the Zoo. You can’t really hold it against this fluffy creature. After all mankind almost wiped out the Pandas, although, like many other animals, they did absolutely nothing threatening. I don’t understand how someone can hurt one of […]
Professional Thief at Work
Picking pockets is definitely not an admirable “profession”, but I have to admit this guy is very good at what he does. It’s not every day you get to see a professional thief working one of his victims, but thanks to this photos we got to catch him in the act. This sort of stuff […]
Astrology Condoms
People love sex and zodiac predictions, so why not mix the two? Unfortunately the funny-looking Astrology Condoms are the product of a very small Japanese company called Yamashita Latex, and can only be found in some shops around Japan. The company doesn’t even have a website where you can order their products. You won’t find […]
World’s Fastest Volvo
Volvo is known as one of the safest cars in the world, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make them go fast too. Spotted on the streets of Johor, Malaysia, this car has to be the fastest Volvo in the world. As you can see in the photos, it has no less than 10 exhausts, […]

Home-Made Motorcycle
Are you sad because you can’t afford to buy that Harley-Davidson chopper you’ve always dreamed of? That’s ok, the economic crysis hit us all hard, but don’t worry you can build a fine chopper yourself, like this guy did. This Chinese dude proves to us all that if you want something really bad you can […]
