An interesting compilation of some of the most unusual Google Street View pictures from various positions along different world’s streets.

It is sad, but true that Mexicans now feel they need a bullet proof car to drive the streets. They feel it is a necessity and not a luxury. These cars sell for an average price of $80,000 dollars. What type of car gets armored?  It is a wide variety including small SUVs, pickups, Hondas, and others. Business is booming and it is estimated that if you purchased a car today you wouldn’t get it until February.

When former Russian President Vladimir Putin is not swimming in a very cold river, resting in the branches of a tree, hunting or doing any of all the other manly things he usually does, well, he apparently is just the animal lover.
Yep, Putin is not just pictured in macho poses, you can also see him in ‘cute’ photos with animals…

The Sudd, is a vast swamp in southern Sudan, formed by the White Nile.

Its size is highly variable, averaging over 30,000 square kilometers. During the wet season it may extend to over 130,000 km².

The sunlight and water contribute to the proliferation of plants that have no roots and float on the surface, forming a sort of a live carpet. Eventually plants become larger, thicker which with time creates a dense floating plant life of the swamp. Apparently, it is so strong that it can hold the weight of large animals.

These are the best advertisements on buildings. They are very clever and ingenious. The advertisement illustrates their slogan if they have one. They certainly make their point and do the product a real service.

This luxurious Russian mansion is located in a small village near Moscow. It is owned by Vladimir Bryntsalov who owns one of the major pharmaceutical companies in Moscow. It is very stately and obviously worth a lot of money. It also seems that the more money they have, the more tasteless they are…

It seems the owner of this motorbike hadn’t ridden it for a long while. So when he finally decided to go on a ride, he found something completely unexpected inside of his bike.

These are historical photos that show child labor in the USA in 1908-1912.

The Batillus class supertankers are the largest vessels by gross tonnage ever built. There were 4 of them, each at 555,000 metric tons DWT, constructed by France in the 1970s. A gross tonnage of Batillus is 275,276 tons. Still, if considering fully-loaded displacement, the Batillus ships don’t hold the world’s record. They are edged out by the Seawise Giant ship that serves as an oil tanker. Still, the Batillus class ships are records for tankers (with the depth of 36 meters and full load draft of 28.5 meters), and, inside this post, you can see how these largest ships were built.

These are very humorous signs that were apparently found around various towns. Some are advertisements by some rather well known companies and others were created by proprietors of a local business. In either case the author of these signs should have known better. 

These are a unique combination of an artist’s sketch and a photograph. Some of the sketches blend in with the photograph and others humorously complement them. In either case they are very amusing and interesting. The artist Ben Heine is simply a genius.

Carefully read each of the following statements. Maybe you’ll recognize your inner thoughts in some of them.

The former Ohio Edison Mad River Power Plant's smoke stake that was 275 feet tall fell the wrong way and crushed the surrounding buildings during the demolition process. The tower also knocked down two power lines and caused the power loss in the city for two hours. It all happened because the demolition company didn’t detect a crack on one side of the tower. Luckily, no one was hurt because of this mistake.

This is supposedly a unique way to warm your pizza at the office. It appears that you simply place your slices of pizza in a chamber beneath your Mac computer and it will warm while you are working. It looks real but I don’t know.

A hurt heart and hot head will make your life miserable. That is exactly what happened to this heart broken guy in PA.

Do you know what Darth Vader did this Halloween? He had a vacation in Hawaii. And he actually looked very colorful, bright and happy. He didn't make lots of effort for his costume though...

Art of Kinetik studio produces bespoke luxury wooden yachts. Its latest creation is Hedonist yacht, which combines levels of refinement and comfort with daring looks and matchless performance. This 63 foot yacht has a solid mahogany hull and it delivers an unusually smooth ride even at the top speed of 40 knots. No screws are visible at any point and nor is any plastic. It seems that Art of Kinetik has a great team of engineers, designers, naval architects and craftsmen.

Jonathan Duhamel is the first French speaking Canadian to win the World Series of Poker. He defeated John Racener of the United States and won $86,000,000 at the Rio hotel casino in Las Vegas. He was a very happy camper.

These are some very funny newspaper mistakes and apologies. They are very embarrassing for both the person(s) being written about and the newspaper. I would think that some copyright editors heard an earful when these went to print.

These are tattoos of 1980’s celebrities. All were celebrities of TV series, mostly of sitcoms. They are very realistic and rather attractive. Everybody is there from Elvira to Boss Hogg to the Fonz. Take a look, and see who you recognize.
