Posted in Random » Uncanny factoid 7 Dec 2010   / 2861 views

This season billboards are king in the war between the atheists and the Catholics. As you drive into the Lincoln tunnel you’ll see in one corner the atheists and in the other corner the Catholics.

Drug War in Rio de Janeiro (52 pics)

Posted in Pictures 30 Nov 2010   / 7625 views

Where would Brazilian drug dealers hide? They would hole up in the most dangerous slums in Rio. This was what Rio de Janeiro policemen reported. So they held a raid on the shantytown of Alemao after they asked drug traffickers to surrender who, of course, refused to give in. Nearly 200 people have been arrested or detained, and more than 96 buses and cars have been burned during this operation in Rio de Janeiro, the city that will host the final match of the 2014 World Cup as well as the 2016 Olympics. Inside this post, you can see the photographs that show the operation itself, the reaction of local residents on a drug war and a house of an alleged drug trafficker that looks luxurious compared to ordinary buildings in the Brazilian favelas.

Although most people probably don’t realize it, animals were used extensively in war. From pets to packhorses to animals that could go where a machine couldn’t. Every conceivable type of animal was used in time of war.

Why? (20 pics)

Posted in Pictures 22 Oct 2010   / 8256 views

"Why" is the name of a wordless book written by Nicolai Popov for children. It is an effective commentary on the futility of war.

This book was recognized as the best children's books in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

"I drew this book because I think if the children understand the futility of war, see how easy it is to succumb to violence, maybe they will fight with it in the future" - said Popov.

This is a wordless, "silent" book which is the best messenger of peace, than all the big words.

The book can also be a wonderful gift not only for a child but for an adult in a sign of reconciliation and love.

Polish illustrator Mariusz Kozik can really amaze! I can’t stop starring at his collection of war computer graphics. He seems to enjoy drawing medieval knights and modern infantries. As far as I know Kozik works for a game studio, so you might be playing computer games drawn by this illustrator.

The Wreckage of War (45 pics)

Posted in Pictures 1 Mar 2010   / 6554 views
As can be seen from these photos following the end of the war in the Battle of Stalingrad there is nothing left but wreckage. The carnage left behind after a war is nearly unfathomable. It is more than just man’s inhumanity to man, it is also man’s inhumanity to the planet.

These photos are of the Viet Nam war and were taken by a combat photographer named Richard Calmes back in 1968 and 1969. Although there are some interesting photos in the group they serve to prove that war is hell.

It’s a comics some people should definitely look at; this console war with all its hatred is so useless and stupid in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong though, I have my favorites, but I certainly don’t feel the need to enter in this pointless war…
Well, stop talking, see the rest after the jump!

Slum war in Rio de Janeiro (35 pics)

Posted in Pictures 21 Oct 2009   / 9103 views
Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful city which must be very interesting to visit but nothing is perfect and behind the beautiful beaches, there are a lot of things that happen in the slums…

The battle which began on Saturday between hundreds of drug traffickers from different rival gangs put the chaos in Rio and turned the city into a warzone. They shot down a police helicopter. 17 people died that weekend.
Talk about a good advertisement two weeks only after Rio was awarded the 2016 Olympics…
It raised questions over the city's ability to safely host the Games in 2016.

A war with bows and arrows in Kenya (18 pics)

Posted in Pictures 15 Oct 2009   / 6045 views
It happened in March 2008. Post-election clashes between tribes re-awakened ancient ethnic rivalries and they used bows and arrows to fight instead of the usual machetes. They said it was a more deadly alternative.
It’s very impressive and unusual. More than 20 people died in the fighting and a man was even shot in the face…
The pictures that impressed me the most are the ones where you see the Maasai warriors with members of the Kalenjin tribe on a hill overlooking the Olmelil Valley.

During WWII many countries developed gas masks for animals. And as dogs had particular various integral roles during the war, gas masks were developed especially for them.

I love bacon, I eat it rarely though.
And it was quite a news for me to learn that in the U.S. there is canned bacon in case of war. It can be stored up to 10 years!
I wonder if it really tastes good…

While newspapers are filled with news about the pirates of Somalia, there is a war for power that is lasting between the loyal and hardline Islamists.
Thousands of innocent people die in this fight. Since the beginning of the insurgency in December 2006, nearly 17,000 civilians lost their lives.

This is from World War II in the European Theater when the Germans invaded Russia and the great Battle of Stalingrad on August 21, 1942 took place with combined casualties estimated above 1.5 million.
Great work with minor details.
It took its author 6 years to finish the project.

The story of one airplane (14 pics)

Posted in Pictures 19 May 2009   / 7268 views
There was a Soviet fighter aircraft flying, fighting with Nazis enemies, but once he was shot and fell into a lake.
After more than 60 years, historians found this place and lifted the aircraft from the lake (surprisingly enough, but the aircraft was well preserved). They buried the pilot and even found canned pork.
Note: this is a U.S. fighter aircraft P-39 Airacobra. It was used during the Second World War with mediocre performance by the Americans in the Pacific, then with a great effectiveness by the French in North Africa and Italy and especially by the Soviets (who received the majority of the production).
