Stunning…  14th of April 2009, this girl wrote in her blog: “I will die”. Prior to this date, the doctors diagnosed a 17-year-old Norwegian Regine Hansen Stokke with a terrible incurable form of blood cancer called MDS / AML (ineffective production of myeloid blood cells and risk of transformation to acute myelogenous leukemia). She had chemotherapy but it could only hold for some time disease’s progression. Regine began keeping a blog and in a few months, it became the most visited blog in Norway. It is hard to read her writings and one can only be surprised at the sheer will of the young girl who wasn’t scared to look into the eyes of death, didn’t give up, lived a full life and tried to fight the disease. The whole country was supporting her. Her struggle for life continued for 15 months. On Thursday, December 3 at two o'clock Regine died at her home in Kristiansund…  I’m gonna quote Wikipedia, because I couldn’t do better myself, so here it goes: The sailing stones (sliding rocks, moving rocks) are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is subject to research.   There’s a theme park in the Australian city of Darwin where you can swim with huge crocodiles. The attraction is called ‘Cage of death’. Of course, people who long to try this attraction are put in a glass box, but still, the pictures give shivers, especially when you see the size of a crocodile. Would you like to experience something similar? ;)  Patrick Swayze has died… I don’t even know what else to write (( He was one of the best actors of our time. Several generations grew up on his movies. Unfortunately, he was never able to beat pancreatic cancer. He was only 57 years old. You will also see pictures of Patrick Swayze when he was young and healthy.  Ok, it’s clearly not an attack but it’s a pretty cool street art installation. In fact it’s an Art Exhibition in Prague and it has been created by Czech artist ‘EPOS257’. Hit the jump to see some pics of the exhibition and to know more about this deadly worm.  Everyone can have their opinion of Jackson: good or not, but nobody can deny that he was a great man with great talent and now there will hardly be someone who can achieve what Michael Jackson did in terms of music, dance and vocals. The King of Pop speaks for itself. After the jump, you will see Michael Jacson's story in pictures.  The North Yungas Road is a 61 to 69 km road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 km (35 miles) northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's most dangerous road". One estimate is that 200-300 travelers were killed yearly along the road. The road includes crosses marking many of the spots where such vehicles have fallen. Would you take the risk to go there?  Katie Kirkpatrick Godwin, 21, delayed her terminal cancer just to celebrate the happiest event of her life. Katie had chased away cancer once, only to have it return - to clog her lungs and grab hold of her heart. Breathing was difficult now, she had to use oxygen. The pain in her back was so intense it broke through the morphine that was supposed to act as a shield. Her organs were shutting down but it would not stop her from marrying Nick Godwin, 23, who was in love with Katie since 11th grade. Five days later, Katie died. She did not allow the disease to interfere with her life, to deprive her from hope or faith. She had a beautiful wedding, she loved so strongly and she gave love. And love doesn’t die. That’s how Katie struggled with cancer.  This great and at the same time very difficult work was done by the students of one Russian university. The car was exhibited on the 2009 Moscow Tuning Show. Well done!  The highest death toll in the Western Hemisphere - 630 deaths for every 100 000 births.  |
