Wave-Gotic Treffen, an annual German festival for heavy music and “dark” arts, was held in Leipzig turning the city into “gothic Heaven” for 4 days. About 20,000 attendants dressed in black and with gothic make-up will surely catch your attention. Some photos are just shocking!
It has been over a month since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. It flows into the Gulf of Mexico slowy reaching Louisiana’s marshes. Over 60 miles of Louisiana’s shoreline have been oiled already. The leak will reportedly be plugged with cement and mud this week. Hopefully the oil will be finally stopped. So far about 6 million gallons of oil have spewed into the Gulf. At the same time scientists think the spill has surpassed the 11-million-galon oil spill that occurred in Alaska in 1989.
Has the world turned upside down? I don’t know if the people in these photos dress like this to joke around or if they have some kind of mental problems. But it looks like such “fashion” is becoming very popular in China nowadays.
In Russia, 'VIP' people and government representatives drive cars with strobe lights ignoring all traffic rules and not paying attention to simple drivers, which causes a mass wave of discontent in the country. People who are fed up with it, mostly drivers that should often bare these 'VIPs', make protests from time to time.
Here’s one man who expressed his discontent in an unusual but rather creative way :)
Here’s some sort of a funny 'optical illusion'. I know what you’re seeing there all :)

Take a look at one of the tallest NBA players. His name is Manute Bol. Born in Sudan, Bol is 7 ft 7 or 2.31m tall. His was the tallest player in the NBA till the debut of another player, Gheorghe Muresan from Romania, who is also 7 ft 7 tall.
Young Bol was noticed by Fairleigh Dickinson University's coach who convinced the guy to move to the USA. There Bol took basketball classes in Cleveland though he never played for this state. He was invited to play for the NBA in 1985. His career ended after he got injured in 1994. By this time Bol played over 600 games and scored a total of 1,599 points blocking even more shots (over 2,000).

This Redwood Log House is unique. It is made from one trunk of a Redwood tree by Len Moore who came up with this cool idea after finding a shelter in the Redwood tree trunk during a storm. Because this tree was really giant, the creator decided to build a house out of one log.
The house was constructed in 1938. It looks impressive, but the mere fact is that the tree used for the house “walls” was almost 2000 years old.
Actually there were 4 log houses built from one trunk, and one house now belongs to Robert Ripley. This cabin is 33 feet long. It contains over 11,000 feet of lumber, enough to build a five bedroom house. And it’s famous all over the world.

Despite its economic adversity, there are such comfortable prisons in the Ukraine. This one is situated near the city of Kharkiv. It is called VIP ‘cause it resembles more a SPA than a prison. Even Ukrainian students don’t have such living conditions in dormitories.
Many prisoners after purging their sentence commit crimes again just to return to this place. Because even in their own home they don’t have such a level of comfort and cannot afford the food they have in this prison.
However, it is not like a 5 star Justizzentrum Leoben prison, Norwegian or some of German prisons, but I still think it is too good for prisoners…

The main theme of the June issue of National Geographic is about Greenland - the largest island of the earth covered with ice.
One of the articles of the magazine is devoted to the melting of the glaciers of the island. Photographer James Balog organized a survey of ice in Greenland and other large glaciers of the planet (EIS - Extreme Ice Survey) in 2006.
James and his colleagues established 35 special cameras that are powered by sunlight, protected of moisture, have a wind shield and make shots on a periodic basis. In one year, a single camera makes from 4000 to 12000 shots. Thus, it makes the cameras some sort of artificial eyes, which allows monitoring the evolution of the ice.
The addresses in this post run the gambit from the ridicules to the funny. They make you wonder who in the world sits around and thinks them up. Some are outrageous, some are naughty, but they all are humorous.
