These photos show a 6-year-old Chinese boy who was born with 16 toes and 15 fingers. He will soon undergo surgery to have the extras digits removed. The boy has a total of 31 toes and fingers and has beaten the previous record of 25. The excessive number of toes and fingers is the result of gene mutation.
Gorgeous women make about 20 % of modern military in the USA. Other countries have similar statistics. To my mind women in military uniform look especially beautiful! Do you also think so?

Everybody makes mistakes, but when you drive a 13,500-ton and 315ft high machine, you’d better not make one!
Though, this is exactly what the driver of this huge bucket-wheel excavator did, a big mistake!
See what happened inside the post..
This is Steve Jobs' cheese head if you haven’t guessed. It looks pretty realistic, might even be used in some horror movies : ). The first picture was in our daily picdump before, but its sense wasn’t quiet understood. But thanks to the link sent by Ken A. we can see that this cheese head is a real food carving! Inside this post you can see the whole process of how it was cooked. Thanks Ken for sharing this cool cooking idea with us!
Inside this post you can find photos of extreme drought that hit China in the end of March. The ponds are dried-up. People have to stay in long lines to get water, and there are many other problems that the country is facing today.
Have you heard about infrared thermography? Thermal images allow you “seeing” the heat that is given off by different objects. Let’s count the heat of everyday objects that are used in every household. How do we count the heat? Temperature is shown by colors. The warmest color is white. Then goes yellow, orange, red and purple. The coldest color is black.

These are the works of photographer Aaron Nace. Who can be described as creative, unusual and diverse himself.
He makes some interesting works with an original approach and a good sense of humor.
Chinese people can even feel dust in the air. It’s difficult to breeze, so tourists and local citizens go out hiding their faces in scarves. Dust storms are seasonal phenomenon in Asia, and right now China is covered with “sand powder”. At the same time this orange dust makes photos exclusive, even close to retro style. I bet photographers have much work to do on open air :)
The Cebu in the Philippines has two jails. One of them is an old colonial prison overcrowded with prisoners who make their own rules there and where the guards won’t go if they are not at least 20 people in protected outfits and with snipers on the walls who keep an eye on inmates, in case they tried to pull something off.
Another prison: Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center is the opposite. It is highly protected, they have “fingerprint scanners, closed-circuit TV, and orange uniforms” which is built according to American jail model.
We will mostly talk about the second prison, but there are some interesting facts about Bagong Buhay Rehabilitation Center too.
The Miss World is a famous international beauty pageant. Let’s take a look at the last 20 winners of this contest. Each beauty-winner spent a year traveling around the world and representing the Miss World Organization. All girls are gorgeous and unique!

Sometimes cops can lose focus while taking a picture of a bustard. At least, this first photo is much unfocused, but it may have been done by Kentucky cops on purpose. Who knows? Cause this man was collared for sexual abuse of a minor.
We suggest an interesting game. Take a look at each photo and try to guess the person’s crime. The answers will be there for you under every snapshot.
Can you imagine a world with only 100 people left? I can’t. But if you look at this collection of posters, you’ll get the idea of what it would be like if our world had only one village with 100 citizens.
This wedding was a happy one. Everything was going so well until bride, groom and 80 dressed guests decided to take a photo at this beautiful South African spot. Smiling and joking around the wedding party posed for the photographer and… Well, the photo itself is truly memorable. It is such a non standard wedding photo that they will remember this day for the rest of their lives.
Obesity is a big problem that bothers people all over the world. According to different reports, about 38% of European children will be overweight, 20% of Chinese kids will have extra pounds and 50% of American children will be obese in 2010.
Afraid of such prognosis, China decided to fight with obesity in unique way. Besides many fitness studios parents can now send their overweight children to special diet camps where kids are trained by former militaries.
Official statistics says that if obesity could disappear on its own way, people would live 5-10 years longer.
This is how ‘spring’ has started in Australia. An unprecedented hailstorm hit Melbourne.
In several hours, it was impossible to drive on the road. In some areas of the city, the water depth on the streets reached half a meter.
EDIT: For those who are surprised to see SPRING instead of AUTUMN. It was written on purpose, that's why it was put into quotation marks..
In this selection of photos, you will see cenotes of Yucatan Peninsula. A cenote is a sinkhole with exposed rocky edges containing groundwater. In Mayan, this word stands for “well” to refer to any location where groundwater is accessible.
These pictures are simple spectacular! It makes you wanna go there right away. It is a real natural wonder.
Fastest eaters seem to love participating in different contests to prove that they are the hungriest and are able to eat the most food in the least time. Can you eat your lunch in less than a minute? These people can! So look at their faces. Maybe you will find a familiar one.
These are some antique typewriting machines that can be a great house decoration, even for a modern styled home. I know I would like to have several of them. Especially the 3d and the 10th :)
Mallakhamb (“malla” stands for wrestler, “khamb” means pole) appeared as exercises for Indian wrestlers in 17th century. Sportsmen had to use a 2.6 m wood pole, and today this tradition is practiced by many gymnastics. On these photos you can see many Indians balancing on the pole and building human pyramids around it. What makes Mallakhamb the most unbelievable sport is that some of the guys who are fond of it are blind!
Some fashion designers make crazy things like these shoes that have ten-inch heels and are created from… elephant dung. I wonder who would wear them. Mmmmm…
Nowadays, even being far away from civilization, you can’t escape it.
Here is an example, a couple of lovers have decided to make love outdoors, but their plans were abruptly interrupted by insolent paparazzo with a camera ))
Another wonder of Chinese make-up transformations. We have already had lots of similar posts but this one is the most impressive, the girl does really transforms from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. It only proves the fact that you should be carful with beautiful girls you meet ;)
