It seems that the fossil, dubbed Ida or Darwinius, was found in Germany in 1983 but the claims that this might be the human anscestor was officially revealed on May 21 2009.
The fossil is placed within the primate family tree along with other fossil primates. Ida was originally thought to be a primitive lemur, but comparative tests revealed her to have anthropoid features. This indicates that she is a transitional fossil between primitive lemur-like primates and the monkeys, including the human lineage.
Dr Jørn Hurum, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist from Oslo, said: “This fossil rewrites our understanding of the evolution of primates... It will probably be pictured in all the textbooks for the next 100 years," and compared its importance to the Mona Lisa”.
And you, do you believe in this?

Consider yourself lucky if you or your children study in beautiful buildings, have nice textbooks, desks, computers and access to internet. In short, this is different from what these children have.
Most of the children in Chinese villages have almost similar conditions. It’s horrible? Without a doubt.

Meet Paul "PJ" James - personal fitness trainer and an Australian model.
To put himself into the shoes of those of his clients who are heavy, he decided to do an incredible thing. Having a bacon and chocolate milk diet, Paul got 40 kg of an extra weight.
He wants to cheer these guys up and pass the message that it is possible to lose weight. As soon as he reaches his goal - 120 kg, he will do exercises to get in shape.
That's the way he was before. And inside the post you will see him with extra 40 kg

As a result of continuing military operations against the Taliban, about 2 million people were forced to flee the fighting scenes in the Swat Valley.
Most of the refugees have found shelter at their relatives, but more than 160,000 people were left homeless and sought refuge in the camp, organized by the UN.
It's a pity for the poor people who aren’t responsible for all of this…

Looking at such works, it seems that it’s really not true, but still, it is a reality, not fiction.
This might be one the best trompe l'œil that I saw

This incident happened in Guangzhou, China.
A man threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge was pushed by passer-by!
Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams, so he pushed the guy over the edge. Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said. Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.

This is my favorite kind of posts. I love all that is creative. Especially with simple things when we think that everything has been invented, there are always people to reinvent the good old things in a very creative way.
Several month ago I made a little selection of creative business cards, so, you’ll probably recognize some cards that you may have already seen but I put them into this collection in order to make 100 )
