Unusual Slaves in a Chinese Sweatshop (26 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       16 Dec 2010       17831

If there is worse than being treated like an animal, it's this. Mentally handicapped Chinese workers are treated worse than animals as they are enslaved to work in a Chinese sweatshop without pay and are isolated from the outside world. The sweatshop requires the workers to a very rigorous and grueling work without even protection from dust and bacteria. And the worst part? Being beaten regularly when found to be working slowly or have plans to escape. This is indeed going against human rights and protection of mentally handicapped people. The higher ups should be doing something about this!

A Completely Dry Niagara Falls (8 pics + 1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       16 Dec 2010       17676

Although it lasted only for six months, Niagara Falls stopped after flowing continuously for over 12,000 years. It happened in June 1969 when U.S. Army Corp of Engineers was improving the health of the American Falls by diverting the 60,000 gallons flow of the Niagara River away to the Canadian side of the border. They built a 600ft dam across the river and removed a big amount of rocks from the falls base. American engineers also made geological testing to assure that all other stones were safe.

Niagara Falls was finally re-watered on November 25, 1969 when engineers blew up their dam. Over 2,500 onlookers were witnessing this historic occasion.

You can also see amazing images of the eerie calm at the falls shared by Russ Glasson from Connecticut and video after the jump.

Candiru also known as toothpick fish, is a parasitic freshwater catfish native to the Amazon River. Although some candiru species have been known to grow to a size of 16 inches (~41 cm) in length, others are considerably smaller. These smaller species are known for an alleged tendency to invade and parasitize the human urethra.

A Shelter for Retired Prostitutes in Mexico (37 pics)

Posted in NSFW       15 Dec 2010       26866

Founded in 2007, this House of the Beautiful Flowers has now become a home for 23 elderly retired prostitutes. It is located in Tepito, Mexico, and it’s named after Casa Xochiquetzal, Aztec goddess of love and women.

The idea of creating such a retirement center belongs to former prostitute Carmen Munoz. She was shocked seeing her old “colleagues” sleeping in the streets. She spent years trying to convince the government to support her idea, and she finally was given an old 18th century house that is now transformed into a retirement home run by the government that can accommodate 45 former sex workers who should be at least 60 years old.

The story of these women was a part of a documentary created by CNN. It shows that no matter how difficult the life of these prostitutes is, as they have no home, and their children barely visit them in the House of the Beautiful Flowers, they continue to live and even smile.
