Century Eggs – for Real Gourmets! (16 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       22 Dec 2009       11915
These special Chinese eggs are black inside with a greenish tint and look as if they were found during the excavations of an ancient Chinese city.
That’s what thought foreigners first arrived in China, that it were simply stale eggs, and called them "Century eggs" (or hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg).
They are usually marinated in a special way for a few weeks or even months, which gives an unpleasant odor (the scent is similar to the smell of ammonia).
But they say that when the eggs are fully prepared, they are incredibly tasty.
Well, would anyone like to try this Chinese delicacy? Don’t hurry with your answer, look at the pictures first ))

This monkey is tamed but during one of the street performances she got angry against its owner and began to throw at him for real.
And the spectators present during the performance thought it was the script and were really amused.
The last photo is the best, it is ‘a mortal blow’ n_sm_19

This movie was awaited with impatience, and it still has surpassed all expectations.
Avatar has set a box office record in the world.
We were lucky to find a “prototype” of the heroine Neytiri.
Hit the jump to see her.

Audi R8 Was Pierced Through Like a Meat with a Fork (8 pics)

Posted in       22 Dec 2009       25210
This horrible accident took place in Athens, Greece. According to police report, the Audi R8’s driver fell asleep at the wheel and the car drove off the road hitting the guardrail. This guardrail passed through the Audi - it entered in the left wheel and came out on the right side through the rear window. The driver was seriously injured at both legs and was rushed to the hospital. His girlfriend was lucky, she only had a couple of scratches.

P.S. Below you’ll see two similar cases with Ladas.

Posted in PICTURES       22 Dec 2009       14205
This is one of the highest railways in the world. It connects Xining, Qinghai Province, to Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, in China. The total length of Qingzang railway is 1956 km. Construction of the 815 km section between Xining and Golmud was completed by 1984.
This railway is the first to connect China proper with the Tibet Autonomous Region, which, due to its altitude and terrain, is the last province-level entity in mainland China to have a conventional railway.
More than 960 km, or over 80% of the Golmud-Lhasa section, is at an altitude of more than 4,000 m.
The 1,142-km Qinghai–Tibet railway from Golmud to Lhasa was completed on 12 October 2005. It opened to regular trial service on 1 July 2006.
The trains are specially built for high altitude environment. From October 2006 five pairs of passenger trains run between Golmud and Lhasa, and one more pair between Xining and Golmud. The line has a capacity of eight pairs of passenger trains, and the carriages are specially built and have an oxygen supply for each passenger.

Gorilla and Chimpanzee Portraits (5 pics)

Posted in ANIMALS       22 Dec 2009       5962
A certain James Gurney has made portraits of a gorilla and a chimpanzee in the North Carolina Zoo.
He approached the glass with a submissive posture, then, when a gorilla came right up to the glass and posed for him, he started to make a portrait.
He did the same with a chimpanzee that apparently wanted James Gurney to show him every ten minutes or so how he was coming along on the sketch…
It seems that they like to pose and are curious to see the result!

Lamest Computer Thief Ever (7 pics + 1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       22 Dec 2009       8275
A guy robbed a small computer store the other day but the way he did it was more than pathetic.
He didn’t even bother to unplug any cords, so he had to struggle to get the monitors free and he nearly fell over tables… what a mess he left behind!
The cost of the damages to the building is more important than the cost of what he stole - he took for $6,000 of Apple products but the owner says damages to the building are probably around $10,000!
And last thing, police officers might be able to zoom in on the license plate of the truck…

If he wanted to imitate those thieves who cleaned out an Apple store in 30 seconds, then he failed big time!
