Sacral agenesis is a rare health condition. People who are born with it mostly have their legs amputated because their spine doesn’t develop properly in the womb. And when many healthy people aren’t satisfied with their lives, Doug Forbis who lost his legs as a child because of sacral agenesis is an example of a real optimist. This 24-year-old guy loves wheelcahir sports, his girlfriend and his life. He dreams about becoming a teacher for kids with special needs and he works as a volunteer with disable teens. Doug’s health condition has never stopped him from achieving his life goals. He deserves to be respected for being such a generous and cheerful man.

I wouldn’t like to live in Iran, because this country forbids and makes illegal some cool things. Most of these restrictions sound crazy to me.

It seems that Mealworms are becoming real “meal” worms as everyone from farmers to chefs begin to use these insects as a tasty treat. They are also using grasshoppers in new and inventive foods. Are you enough of a foodie to try these insect treats? The folks that hit this lecture hall had their choice of grasshoppers or meal worms in quiches, pralines, and even spring rolls.

It was discovered that a 750-year-old Emmaus Church in eastern Germany sat upon lignite, or brown coal. The church wasn’t demolished. A more interesting solution was found.

Its Humpday! Yeah the weekend is just a few more days away. We just have to get through these last couple of days and we are home free.

Supposedly, these are leaked photographs of “Putin’s Palace” that is built near Novorossiysk, on the Black Sea. This mansion is almost finished, judging by the pictures. Its construction is worth $1 billion, according to Russian businessman Sergei Kolesnikov who announced this number in his letter to President Dmitry Medvedev. Prime Minister’s press office denies that this building belongs to Putin. Inside this post, you can see outside and inside photos of this beautiful, luxurious and huge mansion built in Russia.

That is what most people say as soon as they see a furry four-legged rat run by. They are one of those animals that most people detest and fear. Kate and Kevin think differently.

It is no secret that the United Arab Emirates is a rich country, which has more oil than dirt. So this is not surprising that the attitude of the locals to their cars is quite “unique.” There are so many supercars per 1 sq km here, which is unseen in any other place on the planet. Not only they don’t care about “simple” cars as Toyotas or Nissans, but they have this careless attitude also towards cars like Jaguars XJ220, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys or Ferraris.

Electricians have no margin of error. Their high voltage job is dangerous, as not only they have to work at height, but they also have to deal with HV wires and cables.

This how you can walk on ice and don’t worry about falling down – ice claws!

This is an easy, “homemade” solution.

These are some of the most adorable and smallest animals that you will ever see. There are a variety of them each one cuter than the next. Some are so small they will fit into the palm of your hand. They are truly the smallest pets.

UPD: This icy road is known as the Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road because it is only open to traffic in the wintertime. The reason for this is that in the summertime it is a river. It is only in the wintertime that the Mackenzie River Delta freezes which makes a road from parts of the Arctic Ocean and the river. This road connects the communities of Tuktoyaktuk and the Northwest Territories in Canada. In the summertime the village of Tuktoyaktuk can be reached only by boat or plane.

Apparently the folks in this post have a lot of pent up stress, not to mention anger. One way to relieve that stress is to destroy something. It really doesn’t matter what it is that gets destroyed as long as it is ruined when they are done.
