I want to say THANK our visitor birch9397, who sent us these photos with the help of this form.
There’s what he briefly commented on these pix: "Guess we didn't follow the thinning instructions so well". I want to add that what you are going to see is really cool, I haven’t seen such “pimped” vegetables ;)

The weirdest tan ever! (5 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       26 Jun 2009       25002
That’s the most bizarre tan I’ve ever seen. Usually, you can see strange tans when someone forgets an object or something else on himself while tanning. But here, it’s a different story. It was voluntary, it was on all the body and the ‘drawings’ were anticipated. Look at what this young man looks like now after the jump.

It’s enough just to take a look at the photos of Jim Reed to understand his passion - the pursuit of any severe weather condition..
It takes a little more than courage to get shots like that. Each image is a mix of patience, knowledge and few extra cameras.

I’ve never seen this before. You should not be claustrophobic.
And I think obese people won’t even be able to enter the door… what do I say? They won’t even be able to enter the corridor…
A second picture shows you what it looks like inside the toilet after the jump.

What it means to be lucky! (6 pics + 1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       25 Jun 2009       10159
A 4-year-old boy was standing near the store when a car driver lost control over the vehicle and was approaching the boy at high speed.
It is not known exactly what happened, but the driver of the car hit the boy, sending him flying down a flight of stairs before he fell, after a few seconds he got up and ... safe and sound run off crying to his dad who didn’t know what happened until the next day.
Everything happened in just few seconds.
Who said that miracles don’t happen ;)

Padaung. Long-neck women (35 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       25 Jun 2009       60585
Padaung or Kayan Lahwi is a group of the Karenni people, a Tibeto-Burman ethnic minority of Burma.
Women start wearing the brass neck coils at the age of five. Each coil is replaced with longer coils as the weight of the brass pushes the collar bone down and compresses the rib cage. Contrary to popular belief, the neck is not actually lengthened; the illusion of a stretched neck is created by the deformation of the clavicle.
Many ideas regarding why the coils are worn have been suggested. One of them is the coils might be meant to protect from tiger bites.
Kayan women, when asked, acknowledge these ideas, but often say that their purpose for wearing the rings is cultural identity (one associated with beauty).

Stage roof collapsed in Moscow (7 pics)

A concert was planned on Moscow last Saturday but it had to be cancelled. Why? Well, the reason is simple. As we can clearly see on the pictures, the roof collapsed on the stage itself. So, the concert obviously was cancelled and bands such as Scorpion or Alice Cooper had to cancel too. For more photos, go inside the post.

Edit.
As it says in the author’s portfolio, it’s a “modern spin on vintage tales with twisted turns”.
