Obese man Michael Hebranko has lost and gained 3,000 lbs in his lifetime but now wants to lose weight for good.
The 56-year-old New Yorker weighs 25 stone, but is slowing shedding the pounds.
Yet his tale is one of astonishment. In his incredible lifetime, Hebranko gained and lost more than 214 stone (2,996 lbs), proving himself one of the best and worst dieters of all time.
In 1987, he reached his heaviest weight at a monstrous 79 stone (1,106 lbs). He was lifted out of his home and hospitalised at the brink of death.
Hebranko then went on a crash diet and lost 50 stone in 19 months without surgery. In 1990, he was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the highest recorded weight loss.
But over the next six years, Hebranko's weight ballooned back to almost 71 stone.
Today, he’s determined to change his lifestyle rather than diet. He says the pounds are coming off at a slow, healthy pace.

The scam that the couple of thieves used is shown on the pics below. It took them less than 30 seconds to steal. The couple was quickly arrested.

Let's see what Soviet children had to play with.
I can say just one thing, they have nothing to do with these toys.
They can’t be even compared.

I always find pictures taken from space magic and beautiful. It makes us look small and at the same time it lets us contemplate all the beauty of the Earth.
You will see different pics taken from the ISS over the past few months after the jump.

Some are fun and interesting to see especially for the movies that we watched long ago. Other posters don’t seem to be very convincing, but I can imagine that 10 years ago they were a bombshell.

This is an invention of the design student Anna Schwamborn. She makes jewelry from people’s cremated ashes and hair. So, if you wanna always have something from a person you loved, you can address to her and you’ll get some of her “Mourning Objects”.
As for me, this concept is creepy as hell…

Everyone can have their opinion of Jackson: good or not, but nobody can deny that he was a great man with great talent and now there will hardly be someone who can achieve what Michael Jackson did in terms of music, dance and vocals. The King of Pop speaks for itself.
After the jump, you will see Michael Jacson's story in pictures.

This “reproduction” is located in Macau, the South-East of China. Actually, it's owned by the Las Vegas Sands corporation and the Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort – the The Venetian in Las Vegas. You can find all sort of things over there like canals, frescoes, fountains, golden statues…etc. but also the St Mark Square and the Bridge of Sighs.
It is not worth Venice, but it must be nice to visit.

I don’t know if most of these people really dress like that (I talk more about men) or if it's just promotional photos of a fashion week somewhere… at least I hope it’s the latter.

Funny story
I quote the author next:"For years now, of my life’s goals has been to scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef. It may just have something to do with growing up in Alberta, the most bland, colourless, and featureless place on Earth, but pictures of the reef always made it look like the most beautiful place possible.
A few months ago, I finally made the trip. Not to dwell on the negatives, but here’s approximately what it cost:
Flight to Melbourne – $1500
Flight to Cairns – $500
Hotel in Cairns – $150
Dive boat rental – $200
Dive cost – $120".
