This comic story reminds me of a trailer to the new cartoon called Tangled. Imagine that you are going on a date, but your girlfriend isn’t exactly happy to see you. Go inside the post to see what happens after the long-haired princess meets her prince. It’s hilarious.
These are awesome ideas for office workers who dream about playing hilarious jokes on their colleagues who went on vacation.
These are the most frightening and weird looking dolls I have ever seen. I would not like to have one of these toys at home, because every time I look at these pictures I have chills running down my spine.
The horrible flood in China brought tons of garbage to the country. It takes several cleaning boats to get rid of all the mess.

Beautiful shots of lightning and thunder.
An interesting post for those who love big numbers…
These guys went fishing like they always did. They took their car with them, but unexpectedly their vehicle became their “fishing rod”…
This lonely paid phone booth was once working. It spent decades in the middle of nowhere, being left in the desert for some unknown reasons. It had its own number: (760) 733-9969. Campers who happened to find this phone located 8 miles from the nearest paved road used to answer the incoming calls from everywhere or make calls themselves.
Don’t try to call its number today though, because the National Park Service decided to rip the lonely phone booth out, that was reportedly set up in the 1960s to provide phone service to miners and other people. An independent film appeared in 2000 devoted to this phone booth. But the year 2000 was also its end, as this was the year it was finally removed.
It’s like a Kinder surprise… except the fact that a normal egg is not supposed to have a surprise in it!
This is an interesting collection of photos of American children from the beginning of the 20th century. They don’t look like modern kids, do they?
British Defense Secretary Liam Fox called Afghanistan “a broken 13th-century country” when he visited it. His words drew fire on him. This happened not because he was wrong, but because he was way too blunt. Actually, Liam Fox wasn’t the first person to call Afghanistan a medieval country. There were people who labeled local inhabitants “barbarians with a 1200 A.D. mentality”. Many people really think that Afghanistan is an ungovernable land with chaos that would never make it out of the Middle Ages.
Still there were times when Afghanistan was a nice country where women could pursue careers in medicine, where people could go to the movies and work on the factories. This country used to produce many goods. It had a government that was able to undertake national infrastructure projects. People believed they had a future, but all their hopes were destroyed by 30 years of war.
We have here an excellent compilation of aerial pictures of different airport runways from every corner of the world.
Most of these photos are truly beautiful!
Fashion can be really weird sometimes. For example, Patrick Mohr thinks that his models don’t have to be sexual or good-looking. It is enough to just make them looking bald and add beard on their faces. This is what Mohr did for Berlin Fashion Week. It looks shocking.
When Gustavo Villafane was 9 years old, he was hit by a train. The boy lost both his legs and one of his arms. Today he is one of the world’s best wheelchair basketball players. Now Gustavo and his Argentine teammates are preparing for the Paralympic Games that will be held in Venezuela this fall.
I am so jealous of pilots and birds, as they can see such beauty every day, and I can’t. All these beautiful photographs were taken by George Steinmetz during his expeditions to different places around the world. He is well known for his exploration pictures of deserts, different cultures and mysteries. George has many awards for photography, and he is truly a genius photographer because he took these amazing and incredible pictures while piloting a motorized paraglider.
These submarine caves, also called vertical caves, located in the Bahamas are amazingly beautiful.
Too bad they are so dangerous to explore, because they would make perfect diving spots.
I would have loved to dive in these caves but I guess I’ll have to leave it to professional divers…
Actually, some “nuts” started practicing rock-boarding long time ago, back in the 1990s. This sport is called the hardest one. It requires skis or snowboards that are used to ski a lope of rocks. It is very dangerous and extreme to downhill the rubble slope in a straight line, but there are many riders who love rock-boarding and can’t live without it anymore.
Can you guess what happened to this yacht? I will just say that nobody was hurt here, but to understand what was going on you need to see the second photograph. This story took place near the shore of South Africa.
The Google Earth satellite photos in this post are quite unusual. In the cities, the buildings look like they are leaning and in the country there is everything from crop circles to human figures. There are even people who put the strangest things on their roofs. They are unusual photos to say the least.
Nice trick if you don’t wanna be caught while tagging.No harm, no foul..
Yousuf Karsh is one of the most genius masters of 20th century photography. Looking at his works, you get the feeling that the human story is told in these amazing pictures. You can see extraordinary and unique portraits of outstanding people of the last century after the jump.

When lots of people tend to say that Avatar is nothing more than another Pocahontas, someone saw in the last Cameron’s movie lots of similarities with ‘Alien’.
Indeed, it seems those two movies have a lot in common, so let’s see in what they are the same.
Warning: those of you who haven’t seen these two blockbusters (if it’s possible…) should skip this post as it reveals some important aspects of the movies.
Many of the photos were all taken in the days before Pearl Harbor, during the great depression. It was a more innocent time when nearly half of all Americans still lived in small towns or on farms. Mothers still made all of their children’s clothes and color film wasn’t invented until the late 1930s. A very interesting glance at the history.
