Chinese developers thought that this guy demanded compensation for his house that was way too much they could afford. So they fixed the problem in their own way…

Looking at these photos of New Zealand after Saturday’s earthquake, I get chills down my spine. It must be horrible to live in Christchurch where people got approximately 300 temblors in just 5 days. Almost 100,000 houses were damaged. It’s a miracle that no one has been reported dead as the earthquake magnitude was 7.1. Local authorities announced a state of civil emergency for the next week.

New Zealand is located in the area where 2 tectonic plates collide. Every year the country faces more than 10,000 earthquakes, but only less than 10 leave such damage.

Modern cell phone manufacturers would do anything to make people buy their products.

Most resorts show myth pictures at their official web sites as they are trying to attract more tourists. But photographers from Oyster decided to visit different hotels undercover and see the reality. They took many pictures and finally compared their results to photos found on hotels’ sites. Some comparisons are funny.

The celebration is called redheads day and it is celebrated in the summer for natural redheads. As these photos show there is quite a gathering of redheads. Some of the gingers or carrot tops are even wearing T-shirts proclaiming their pride at being red headed.

These are some of the combat meals that the troops in Afghanistan receive. They don’t look like much but supposedly they are very healthy. They might not be so bad if the troops didn’t have to look at them while that are eating and if they have some water.

I don’t know if they are permanent or not, but if they are they must have been very painful. However, it is a good place to hide a tattoo until you want to reveal it.

This cutlery is quite creative. Although they all seem quite useable they look very interesting. Some are obviously for children and some are for adults but they are all remarkable. Not sure how comfortable some of them would be to eat from though.

These are some seriously funny tombstones. Either the name or the inscription makes them hilarious. Makes one wonder if the folks who are buried here had as a sense of humor in life as good as it is death.

These incredible child portraits were taken by a photographer named Akval. They catch these children doing what they do best, being themselves. The clarity and attention to detail make them absolutely beautiful.

Some people have special skills. They can sleep at work. One problem: it’s so difficult to take a nap and not be caught on camera while snoozing on the job. All these people were surely unlucky…

This model looks cute, don’t you think so?

According to the new edition of the Guinness World Record Book 2011, Edward Nino Hernandez is recognized as the shortest living man in the world. Nino is 24 years old. He lives in Bogota, Colombia. His height is only 27 inches or approximately 70 centimeters. His weight is only 10 kilograms. Nino loves to dance and dreams about meeting Jackie Chan, traveling around the world and owing Mercedes. Still his fame won’t last too long. As soon as Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal turns 18, he will take over Nino’s record as Khagendra’s height is 22 inches or 56 centimeters and he is currently recognized by Guinness as the world’s shortest teenager.

These are probably the world’s most extraordinary and strangest flags. Some of them are pretty funny.

This BBQ grill may not be able to cook a very large meal but it is interesting. It is made out of an empty Altoids container. The impressive thing is that it actually works. So it isn’t too useful, it is still pretty neat.

Google results are not always what you’d expect them to be. Whether you search for something in ‘web, ‘images’, ‘translate’ or another Google online service, your search may end in a funny result. Coincidence you say? I don’t think so… ;)

These sports posters are from the 1980s and 1990s and are just a little weird. Sports figures posing as gangsters or superheroes seem a little unsettling.

The currencies in these photos are of some very large denominations of US bills. The $500 bill may not be too uncommon but the $10,000 one surely is. They are strictly collector’s items and can be bought for considerably more than their face value.

The Engrish signs in this Asian airport are hilariously funny. They often say things that have absolutely nothing to do with what needs to be said. And that's what it makes so funny.

All these photos are real. Just Pablo Aurrecochea’s taste for clothes is… very special. Yes, he is probably the world’s most extravagant goalkeeper.

If you travelled several times by airplanes at some moment in your life, you’ve necessarily been confronted to the annoying situations funnily illustrated here in this picture.

Englishmen know how to night out and get the most pleasure on Fridays and weekends. These photos show ordinary night life in England.

An attempt to quickly unload these cars failed.

Macey and Mackenzie Garrison were born as conjoined twins 7 years ago, bound at the pelvis and sharing a third leg. Successfully separated after the intense, 24-hour operation, the girls now lead active and happy lives in Indianola, Iowa. They go to the gym and ride horses. You can take a look at their life journey after the jump.
