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.

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.

This is what an ordinary dormitory in China looks like. Even though such scenes seem to be common for this country, these pictures still impress.

The lamp in these photos costs $2 to make and is really beautiful. It is made out of everyday ordinary items that when assembled are really something. Have a look and see if you don’t agree.

These drawings are very funny but somewhat naughty. They are definitely not something you would see in Sunday’s newspaper but they are humorous nonetheless. Makes a person wonder who thinks up all of the nonsense.

As you might know, Saudi Arabia doesn’t have much water. Thus people here have to dig wells. Sometimes these wells are up to 320 feet (100 meters) deep. And some of them keep unusual secrets.

Its creator says it cost him only 28 dollars in raw materials. There is no precisions though on how many hours he spent building this fantastic M8 avenger assault rifle based on one of the Mass Effect rifles.

These hairstyles were banned in the schools in China. Teenagers can’t have a hairstyle other than one that is shown in the first photo. It’s not that the banned hairstyles are all that pretty, but what can be so bad about a hairstyle that would make the government get involved?

Whether they are real or fake questions, they’re all just too funny; and the answers aren’t bad either.

Lot's of oldies in there, but lot's of goodies. Anyway, it’s a good post to start the week by laughing.

It is said that New York tap water is delicious. But why is that? Maybe because it has plenty of tinny tiny crustaceans called copepods.

These copepods are absolutely harmless and are invisible to a naked eye. Apparently, they are added to tap water to eat mosquito larvae to keep water sources clear.

Many European countries have this business by now. It’s called sex boxes or sex drive-thru. The first boxes appeared in Germany several years ago to help fans of FIFA World Cup 2006 meet with prostitutes in private places.
