On April 25-26, the Russian Sumo Championship took place in Izhevsk, Russia.
Well, I always found it funny other countries than Japan exercising this sport.
Well, here, it seems ok.

Brad Keselowski (Chevrolet) has won the race for the first time in his career. It was also he who caused the accident, the results of which you will see on these photos. The car that went airborne was driven by Carl Edwards who tried not to let Brad pass on the first position and win the race. Edwards's car was banged against the safety fence. Seven spectators were injured and taken to the hospital, but fortunately, nothing serious.

In the United States, variety stores are very common. They sell inexpensive items, usually with a single price point for all items in the store. A guy in the U.S. decided to buy a shower curtain and went to one of such stores: The dollar store where everything sells for a dollar. As he explains: “A shower curtain is a shower curtain, right?”
Well, he was wrong))

You have maybe heard the story about naturalist Casey Anderson and his best friend and best man bear – Brutus. I’m always fascinated with such stories of true friendship between people and animals. It may be unnatural but somewhere it’s the way it is supposed to be.
Casey saved Brutus the grizzly cub from being euthanized when he was born in an overpopulated wildlife park. Since then, he brought up Brutus and they became real pals.
Brutus has always his place at the family table during holidays and he even was Casey’s best man )).
Inside the post, you will see incredible pictures of this incredible friendship

Oh yeah, that can happen too. You come back home, at your house and there you see…a new doormat

Of course, this is far from being a sensation; we can see worse than that in the street. But can’t they just hold hands?

This story made a lot of noise some time ago. Let’s see how it was...

I never thought that sharks can jump so high, I'm actually shocked.
Just imagine that this killing machine could jump so that its fins are above water. Rare shots to see after the jump.

Fashion can be different. But I wonder who, being not out of their mind, will go out like that on the street.
Every time I see fashion shows, it’s what I think. I know that all this is done to attract public attention, but it’s too much.

No, it’s not another hybrid car. It’s just somebody had a bad ride that ended up in accident.
But also, it seems like the two cars decided to canoodle

The Cliff House is a restaurant perched on the headlands on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach, on the western side of San Francisco, California. It has great history and a sad story.
The first Cliff House was a modest structure built in 1863; the building survived the explosion of the schooner Parallel, abandoned and loaded with dynamite, ran aground on the rocks below but was later completely destroyed on Christmas night 1894 due to a defective flue.
The Cliff House had also survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but burned to the ground on the evening of September 7, 1907.
Dramatic story in pictures.

All these photos were taken from space where you can see the various buildings and structures that closely resemble the letters of the alphabet.
Last week, we've shown this general picture and now we found all the images separately. Look.

Edit:
I found more pictures with "Russian King" to entertain you :)))
This is just priceless. It’s been longtime that I laughed so hard.
Here’s the “Russian king”, who posted his pictures in the internet because he wants to find a girl of 16-20 years old for a marriage. He lives in Saint Petersburg and he’s 39 years old (at least, it’s what he says). A quotation: “
My kingdom is growing and there’s no a decent Cinderella (without bad habits, having good looks and intelligence) to transform into a princess capable of loyalty and love (without intimate past (=virgin))”.
And now, meet the King:

I like to wear jeans but I don’t see a point in pulling down a jean so that every one could see your underwear.
Well, there are some versions of how did this fashion style appeared. I knew about oversized uniforms in prisons back then and that belts weren’t given in order to prevent suicides, but the second version made me smile. They say, that in American jails, guys who were sagging their pants, wanted to give a massage that they were…hmm…available, if you know what I mean ;)
In Louisiana, it’s even forbidden by the law to do it. If policemen catch you with your sagging pants, you can pay $500 fine or go to prison for a 6 month…ouch.

The French Laundry is an American restaurant located in Yountville, California, in the Napa Valley.
It is the fourth restaurant in the world for incredibly high prices, and (as claimed by specialists) quality.
In general, a simple meal in this restaurant will cost you around a thousand dollars. But at least we can be sure that there are no genetically modified products.
The dishes are served in very small portions, to emphasize that their cuisine is "a work of art" and not just food.
After the jump, you will see the interior of the restaurant, photos of some dishes (with prices) and bills after eating there.

I have something so amazing to share, you're not even going to believe it.
Like a week ago some other library returned this book that they'd borrowed. We have a copy of it, and not too many libraries do, so apparently people request it pretty regularly. One of my coworkers took a look at it and all of us read it, shocked. It's a kids book that would never, never, never get published these days. I love gender roles. I really do. But I just know that this would be like, a lawsuit on every page.
