About a Horrible Trend in China (16 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       18 Nov 2009       9822
Now it is somehow “trendy” in China to climb somewhere and try to commit suicide, but in most cases, no one jumps.
And thank God, it is well that ends well ;)
Here are two cases with girls who were tired of life.
I do not know what made them to take this step, but still, you shouldn’t rush to go there ))

Why do you think all these cab drivers are gathered here? Maybe it was some kind of demonstration or something else like that.

Oldie of the Day. ‘Gordon Freeman’ from Half Life spotted at CERN (23 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       18 Nov 2009       15051
These pics are not fresh but we haven’t talked about it here yet.
So, this happened last year, one of the employees of CERN looked exactly the same as the hero of the Half Life game - Gordon Freeman. The guys from Reddit decided to make a joke and sent him “a crowbar, a headcrab and a book, allowing him to go to town on the alien infestation.”
You will see the man in action inside the post :)

Great Photos of Recortadores Performing Bull-Leaping (36 pics + 1 video)

Known as the recortadores, athletes compete at dodging and leaping over bulls without the use of the cape or sword. It’s obviously very dangerous for recortadores as you can see on the pics.
I hate tauromachy but here, they never harm or kill the animals, they jut dodge and leap over the bulls so I think it makes it ok.

Skin Cancer Action Week Event in Sydney (9 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       18 Nov 2009       7381
1700 beach towels were laid out during a Skin Cancer Action Week event on Bondi Beach on November 15, 2009 in Sydney, Australia.
The event was organized by the Cancer Council which placed 1700 beach towels on the beach – one for each of the 1700 Australians who die each year because of skin cancer.
It’s an original way of reminding people that they have to be careful with sun exposure!

Those pictures are wide angle ‘unflattering portraits’ of people retouched with Photoshop (with a simulated HDR look).
It’s an interesting way to see a person, with all his/her imperfections.
Really well done and very funny.

Bizarre People... (24 pics)

There’s a new tendency to shave the eyebrows…Yes, yes, there are people who think that this is cool and that way they are distinguished from the crowd.
Here’s what they answer at the question: "Why did you shave your eyebrows?":
- They are very nasty;
- when I see other people I want to shave their eyebrows;
- eyebrows are ugly, messy and unsightly;
- I don’t see the point to have any hair on your face
And the most popular response is: “I love to paint different eyebrows every day.”
Well, how do you like it? Before answering this question, I suggest you look at the pictures.

Unbelievable. The “Underwater” River... (4 pics + 1 video)

These amazing pictures were taken by the professional diver Anatoly Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Here’s his description: “We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep – salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.”
It must be an unforgettable feeling once you’re there and see it with your own eyes.
