Posted in PICTURES       1 Nov 2010       11634

“The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear took place on October 30, 2010 on the National Mall in Washington, DC. It was led by Jon Stewart and an in-character Stephen Colbert. It was a combination of what previously were planned as separate events: Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and Colbert's satirical counterpart, the March to Keep Fear Alive.”

Apparently, around 215,000 people gathered for this event (if you want to know more about it, Google it or search in Wiki…).

 

Anyway, here are 100 of the best signs you could see at the Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear.

Posted in PICTURES       24 Aug 2009       9648
Candyland, for those who don’t know (not a lot I think), is one of the most popular board games in the United States, kind of a cultural icon.
Well, Candyland has come to life for a day in San Francisco last week, and not in a small version.
To celebrate the 60th birthday of the game, Lombard Street was transformed on Wednesday, August 19th into a life-sized game of Candyland.
Only children from UC San Francisco Children’s Hospital and the nonprofit Friends of the Children were competing.
And last thing, at the end of the game, there was a delicious cake for all.
Quite a sweet event for a sweet game.

For the first time in Moscow was held the Red Bull Flugtag event in which competitors attempt to fly homemade human-powered flying machines.
And there were a lot of flying machines of all kinds.
All this looked very funny and many people came to watch this event and support their favorite team. In short, everybody was in a great mood afterwards.

The 4th annual Maker Faire was held last weekend in San Mateo, California. For those who don’t know, it is an event created by Make Magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset."

One of the creations that one could see over there was the Mercedes Pens – a Mercedes covered with no less than 10.000 pens!! This weird “car decoration” is not something you see everyday and the guy must have a lot of patience… and pens!

The parade of brides in Kursk, Russia (36 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       8 Jul 2009       17164
Kursk offered an interesting event, something that you don’t see everyday – a bride parade! And not only few brides, but 512 to be precise.
It happened last weekend on the Red Square of Kursk at noon. Rain showed itself but it did not spoil the fun.
You’re maybe asking yourself how they could marry 512 women the same weekend… well, in fact, they were not real brides. Any women wearing a wedding dress could participate in the event, no matter their age or marital status.
So let’s see this huge gathering of Russian brides inside the post.

Cheese Rolling 2009 (17 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       29 May 2009       9700
Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling is an annual event held in England. Traditionally, only local villagers participated in it. Now the event became international. The tradition is at least 200 years old.
A round of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled from the top of the hill, and contenders run down the hill and try to catch it. But as the cheese is rolled one second before they start to race, it gains speed up to 70mph (112 km/h).
A large number of participants are injured every year.
