In 1969, Chairman Mao ordered the construction of Beijing's underground city.
It was designed for six million residents in case of a nuclear war.
The war did not happen and the underground city is in ruins.

We can learn so many interesting things about something that is trivial like cats ;))
I am sure all cat lovers will be curious to know these facts if they don’t know them already, of course :)

Those two gif animations were realized by Christine Eric. She made short X-ray films showing the movement of the tongue and the entire mouth area.
It’s really weird but in the same time, very interesting to see!

Recently, a strange robot could have been seen on the streets of a Japanese city.
Everything was fine, a crowd of curious children started to gather around the robot and then… OMG!
Well, see for yourself.

Maurice Tillet was born in France and was very intelligent and spoke 14 languages.
In his twenties, he developed acromegaly, a rare disease that causes bones to grow wildly and uncontrollably. Soon his whole body was disfigured as a result. Afterwards, he fled France, became a professional wrestler in the United States, and won American Wrestling Association World title. Tillet was dubbed as the "freak ogre of the ring."
There are rumors that the Shrek character was inspired by Tillet’s look. Who knows but he really does have a lot in common with the character.

USS Independence (LCS-2) is the second class prototype for the Independence-class littoral combat ship. It was designed and built by General Dynamics, Aural and Bath Iron Works. It is intended as a small assault transport with a variety of capabilities depending on the mission module installed. The ship is a trimaran design capable of over 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph), and will normally be delivered to the US Navy at the end of 2009. This 127-meter ship requires a crew of 40 sailors and has a maximum range of 20,000 km.
Really impressive! I love the design in general, especially the trimaran hull…

How do you think they transport a big brand new locomotive and place it on the rails?
Well, they use an enormous, very long and powerful truck!
I’m always amazed by such trucks…
Look at more pics after the jump.

The author of those cool 8-Bit Fatalities, Steven Lefcourt, was inspired by the controversy over the violence in video games. He says: “Just because you didn’t see pac-man violently tearing into the ghosts with his jaws, or mario smashing in the brains of a goomba, that’s what I knew was happening.”
So, he decided to show us just what he imagined was happening when these pixelized characters came into contact with each other, but in a much more gory way… like in Mortal Kombat!
I love it!
