Here are some fantastic shots and news from the weekend. Hope your weekend was just as great as these snaps.

Battle of the Oranges

Ivrea, Italy celebrating the battle of the oranges during carnival.

Herman and Candelaria Zapp started a 12,000 mile journey in an 83 year old Graham-Paige vehicle given to them by Herman's grandfather. At first their goal was 'just' to travel from Argentina to Alaska, but that journey has stretched into 142,000 miles, and 4 children in the 11 year journey, that isn't over yet.  They are home schooling their children, each born with a different nationality.  The kindness of strangers and sales of their two books cover their expenses as they've driven the antique vehicle (at a maximum 40 MPH) on 4 continents.  They have no plans to stop any time soon as they travel the world.

Some people love tats, but this guy went overboard in his fandom craze of Julia Roberts.

Very cruel technique but I think it might work.

In a small village in southern Indonesia off the coast of the island of Lembata, the local fishermen battle whales and sharks from a very small wooden boat with sticks. They capture the fish by harpooning them with long spears, and then dismember them in the water because the whales are too heavy and large to pull aboard their small boat.

It seems that in Russia, the freaky Russian kids have to post their outrageous antics on a social networking website. It would appear that they can no longer contain their emotions. As a result, they behave in a unique way and act very unusual.

This house is located in England and is known as The Subterranean Mansion. It’s for sale for £2,000,000. However, what makes this house so innovative and daring is the round hole in the bedroom wall.

UPD: This is Shweeb and it may be the future transport used to move around the city. It is a bike monorail pedal-powered. Yes, as in you’ll have to peddle it. It is only a concept now but Google Inc. has already invested $1 million dollars in it believing this may be transport solution for the cities.

This is a photo Sir Ernest Shackleton’s voyage on the ship Expedition that was rather ill fated. It was taken by photographer Frank Hurley in 1915. It was part of the British Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition. The ship became trapped in the Antarctic ice. Mr. Hurley salvaged the photographic plates by diving into the icy water inside the sinking ship.

These are some absolutely amazing photos of atmospheric conditions when it is raining. They were taken by photographer Kris Dutson, known as “the rain man”. He has spent years traveling around Britain locating the perfect shots.

These are photos of “the greatest” otherwise known as Muhammad Ali back in his heyday. The outspoken young man from Louisville, Kentucky went on to become a three-time world champion.

These are some vintage exercise machines. Like everything else in the old days, not much was known about exercising and how to get into shape. Consequently some of the machines were quite outlandish and very funny.

These are some then and now photos of some celebrity comedians. Some of the comedians are more famous than others but all were funny at one time. Some still are.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has recently erupted sending fountains of lava spewing into the air.

The volcano has been erupting since 1983 repeatedly and this time it was quite a show.

These amazing old advertisements for computers are really funny to us now. These are from the days where they still had to convince us that computers weren't an instrument of the devil, and that we would find them affordable and useful. From promises of better productivity to making us think it was sexy to have a computer, the advertisers pimped out Leonardo DaVinci and Dom Delouise to hawk their wares.

Having imagination and some free time on your hands can end up in making finger art ;)

It looks like the author had a lot of fun.

After the devastating earthquake and tsunami, which followed afterwards, a huge blast was observed at the Fukushima-Daiichi atomic power plant that caused the radiation leak.

After the earthquake hit Japan, in several of the reactors at the two Fukushima plants the cooling systems failed and “without cooling, the temperature in the reactor core builds, with the risk that it could melt through its container into the building housing the system.” It also causes pressure in the containers where the reactor is situated.

The Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan declared that the amount of radiation released was "tiny." We sure hope so… but could this be another Chernobyl??

After the jump, you’ll also see the most recent photos of the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on Friday.
