Cold War on the Court
The U.S. team came to the final having won every game in Olympic play for the past 36 years.
But the Soviet Union’s team surprised the Americans with an aggressive offense in the 1972 Munich Games.
With six seconds left, the USSR was clinging to a one-point lead when American Doug Collins was deliberately fouled.
Collins sank both of his free throws, giving the US. its first lead, 50-49, with three seconds left.
The Soviets failed to score, time ran out and the Americans erupted in celebration.
But Soviet coach Vladimir Kondrashkin claimed he had called a time-out that was ignored, and Britain’s R. Williams Jones, the Secretary-General of the International Amateur Basketball Federation, ordered the clock set back by three seconds.
When play resumed, Soviet star Sasha Belov pushed past two U.S. defenders to sink the winning basket...

Pamela Anderson treats 9-year old girl like crap! (11 pics)

Posted in RANDOM       16 Oct 2009       17351
Pamela Anderson appeared at the Hollywood Style Awards in Los Angeles. She was wearing some hideous dress... She went to the event jacked up as usual, but with the help of a small child named Adelaide who is the 9 year old daughter of Pam’s make-up artist. The little girl seems to be terrified and disgusted at the same time…
Page Six is reporting that the whole story has incited quite a bit of controversy, with children’s advocacy groups getting involved. Apparently, Pamela was treating this girl like crap all evening. Adelaide didn’t even have a seat at the event! She had to sit at Pam’s feet, where she was stepped on!
Look at the pics, it’s obvious that the little girl is not enjoying anything at all…

WTF ? (7 pics)

Posted in RANDOM       17 Aug 2009       13866
I won’t even ask you to guess what it is because it’s impossible. I stared at the images for 5 minutes before I saw the last picture. But try to guess anyway and write your thoughts in the comments. It would be fun to know what you could think of. My first thought was that it is something for fetishists...

30th annual “Mooning of the Trains” event in Orange County (16 pics)

Posted in RANDOM       15 Jul 2009       22430
Each year, the residents of Laguna Niguel expose their buttocks during the “Mooning of the Trains” event along a railroad track in Orange County, south of Los Angeles.
According to a local legend, this tradition began in 1979 when customer K.T. Smith said he would buy a drink for anyone who would run outside and show his/her butt to the next train.
So for 30 years now, people over there have been mooning trains on the second Saturday of each July.
Quite a funny tradition I must say!

Apartment building fell down in China (12 pics)

Posted in RANDOM       29 Jun 2009       119851
13-storey apartment building collapsed in Chinese city of Shanghai, which was almost finished. It fell without being destroyed, like a domino.
It gives the impression as if the building was razed as a tree and was laid down...
According to the official version, the reason of the building collapsing was the construction of the underground garage and the loose soil.

You've already guessed who’s taking part at such beauty contests in Thailand?
If you go there one day, be careful, otherwise the meeting with a lovely girl could turn out to be a meeting with a former guy ))

Perhaps it is the spring that makes this effect on people?
Inside the post, you will see photos from a fetishists’ forum, who just love wool clothing...
To each their own tastes, but this is just ridiculous.

There are many theories, but nobody’s sure for 100% ))
Many believe we evolved from monkeys, but the author of these photos think that we are descended from a fish )
Why not? If you look at the pictures, this can be it...

Normally, when people are talking, they don’t pay attention to the eyebrows of each other.
But if you met at least one person from this selection, you could hardly tear your eyes away from their eyebrows.

It makes me sick only by looking at these “food masterpieces”. I can’t imagine that it is eatable.
But some people like it. As they say: tastes and colours are not argued over ;)
