You’ll see many gold bars. The markings say 99.99% which is the high purity gold bar.
Let me have a couple of bars please

Finnish Power Truck Show lasted just one day, and there were no tents, rock concert or fireworks... There were only about two dozens of painted vehicles from Finland and some others from the neighboring Sweden. The vehicles were customized and painted especially for this occasion.
However, there are no "show-trucks" that were built specially for the exhibition and are not functional. All of them are operational.
So check it out. There’s a lot to look at.

There’s almost no place left for new ones… ))
And you should definitely check the tattoos on his face after the jump, it’s the scariest part!

Not very convenient to sleep I guess and I can imagine how people looked at him in the street… ))

My brain exploded. On the one hand, these photorealistic sculptures look a little scary, but in anyway they are mega cool.
Most successful hyperrealistic sculptures were created by Ron Mueck, Evan Penny, Jamie Salmon, Duane Hanson, Sam Jinks and Adam Beane.
We will take a look at their work after the jump. A must-see post ;)

A gift doesn’t have to be expensive to be great and please the person to whom you offer it.
You can for example make one by yourself like in this post. It’s easy and cheap but it’s creative, original and it should impress your girlfriend. ))
Take a look and try it.

Oasis of the Seas is a cruise ship in the fleet of Royal Caribbean International.
Oasis measures 225,282 gross tons, several times larger than Titanic. The ship's power comes from six marine diesel engines producing 18,860 kilowatts each and three similar 12-cylinder engines each producing 13,860 kilowatts. Oasis of the Seas will offer passengers features such as two-story loft suites and luxury suites measuring 1,600 sq ft (150 m2) with balconies overlooking the sea or promenades. The ship features a zip-line, a casino, a mini-golf course, four swimming pools, volleyball and basketball courts, theme parks and nurseries for children.
I will definitely make a one-month tour on one of such cruise ships. It must be fantastic!

Two Russian traceurs in Saint Petersburg made an incredible jump from a nine-story building (35 feet high) to land on mattresses of the five-storey building roof (22 feet high). It looks very impressive and don’t worry, the two jumps were successful. And this was not some kind of training for a movie just two guys who are passionate about Parkour.
Hats off, guys!
