Yes, you read that correctly. A four year old was sued in a class action suit. When Jacob Kohn and Juliet Breitman raced down a public street on their bicycles they ran over an 87 year old woman, knocking her down, fracturing her hip. Claire Menagh had to have surgery and three weeks later she passed away.

Here are some excellent reasons not to use methamphetamines. This girl was rather pretty when she started using them in 2004. She certainly isn’t pretty anymore. This post serves to illustrate how destructive the drug really is.

These were the tips for single ladies back in 1938.

Different times different thinking. Although some of them can be applied even today ;)

Specific humour =)

This is known as the Dead Drops Project. It was designed to share files peer to peer and be anonymous offline. There is a readme.txt file that explains the project. What’s so unconventional about it is that a person can plug their laptop into a pole, wall, or building to use it.

If you live in New York, here are some places where you can find them:
87 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (Makerbot); Empire Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn, NY (Dumbo); 235 Bowery, NY (New Museum); Union Square, NY (Subway Station 14th St); 540 West 21st Street, NY (Eyebeam)

This is Johnny Depp’s yacht named the Vajoliroja. It features snorkeling gear, water skis, windsurfers, two kayaks, a 60hp Nautica tender, and a 115hp Ranieri Soverato tender. It is powered by two 480hp Caterpillar engines, has a max speed of 14 knots, and is 156ft. long.

Our standards of beauty change over the years. While these ladies may have been considered beautiful in their day, I don’t think they would win any beauty contests these days. The thing that is most obvious is the lack of makeup.  

This is a giant landslide in Schmalkalden, Germany. Although the cause of the landslide isn’t known, what is known is the amount of devastation it caused. One of the things it caused was a tremendous hole right in the middle of a road.

These are photos of some of the most ruthless dictators in history before they were famous. Some were painters, some poets, some lawyers, some well educated, some doctors, and all were infamous. Too bad they didn’t stick with their prior professions.

This little guy could be the son of Robocop. He seems to be all alone in the big city but that’s OK because for his size he looks like he could take care of himself. Apparently, he is friends with all the local cops, but no wonder there ;)
He is part machine, part kid, and all cop.

This is a concept of the super yacht Beluga, Emperor of the Seven Seas. It won the best new super yacht concept at the last boat show in Monica. The yacht has a sunroof, small vegetable garden, palm trees, library, and a whiskey bar. It is very futuristic and worth $200,000,000.

Although this may seem strange, these are photos of bear crap. It is a rather interesting fact that you can tell exactly what the bear has had to eat by what it craps. Apparently this bear is a vegetarian. You can tell by looking at its crap.

For those with sensitive stomach --- don’t go inside the post if you haven’t eaten yet :P

There are many abandoned buildings in San Francisco. Here are the photos of some of them which were taken by photographer Joseph Schell. Judging from all the graffiti, apparently all these places continue to have visitors from time to time although they have long been vacated. I'd love to visit some of them.

Manic Monday is ending with our daily stare. Enjoy!

Flying the friendly....

roads!  What a cute little car this one turned out to be.

A pretty huge quantity of photos is taken during the most special day of your life and you may find some awesomely weird, funny and awkward shots among them, whether they were made on purpose or not. Anyway, here are some of the best of these pictures.

Some of them you have already seen on the site but as they are really great we decided to post  them anyways along with the new ones.

1. It’s a simple one. How many pencils are there? There are clearly seven… what, wait! Six? No.. So how many?

“The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear took place on October 30, 2010 on the National Mall in Washington, DC. It was led by Jon Stewart and an in-character Stephen Colbert. It was a combination of what previously were planned as separate events: Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and Colbert's satirical counterpart, the March to Keep Fear Alive.”

Apparently, around 215,000 people gathered for this event (if you want to know more about it, Google it or search in Wiki…).

Anyway, here are 100 of the best signs you could see at the Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear.

Barbie goes high class when she puts on her diamond necklace.  If you like how this stylish Barbie looks, then get ready to shell out $300,000 dollars.

These photos are of a British family as they changed in appearance from 1991 to 2009. They are in the same pose and the changes are rather dramatic. You can see them aging right before your eyes.

This is the first know photo of a human being. It is a Daguerreotype that was taken in 1838 in the Boulevard du Temple in Paris by the inventor of the process Louis Daguerre. This process involved exposing a chemically treated metal plate for 10 minutes. There were other people and carriages in the photo but because they were moving, they didn’t show up.

These guys just love latex, that’s what they said and that’s why they decided to get married in latex costumes…

These are the instructions on how to open a locked lavatory door from the outside on an airplane. It is a very easy process. However, be advised that unless you really have to go, this could result in a very embarrassing situation.

"Allure of the Seas" is a new ship of Royal Caribbean International. It is also the sister ship to the world's largest passenger ship, the MS Oasis of the Seas.

The outdoor playground on board of "Allure of the Seas" includes a multi-court, which can host basketball, volleyball and badminton games.

It left the Turku shipyard October 29 2010 heading directly to Florida, USA.

Here is Keanu Reeves making some strange moves in a parking lot. I don’t know a lot about his exercises but he seems to know what he is doing. Maybe he’s practicing for some new movie role?
