These are some popsicles that are made from ice cream in the shape of famous characters. Some are flavored with liquor. They all look delicious and are very interesting.
A collection of some of the most famous faked pictures ever taken. They include a funny George Bush reading a book upside down! Some of these photos are so realistic, you’ll be amazed! (I thought they were real!)
These are some absolutely beautiful houses that were used in some famous movies. Apparently Hollywood spares no expense when it comes to renting houses for their movies. They are gorgeous houses.

This is one cute pooch, everyone loves this dog on Facebook. His name is Boo and he has been seen over 1 million times and 10,000 people have liked this little doggie and once you see him you’ll be in puppy love.
In the late 19 century, Detroit had its own industrial revolution. Strategically located along the Great Lakes waterway, Detroit emerged as a transportation hub. In 1896, a thriving carriage trade prompted Henry Ford to build his first automobile in a rented workshop on Mack Avenue.
In 1903, Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company and in 1913, Ford implemented a large-scale assembly line to manufacture the Model T automobile at his Highland Park plant.
Detroit was even referred to as the Paris of the West for its architecture, and for Washington Boulevard, recently electrified by Thomas Edison.Ford's manufacturing—and those of automotive pioneers William C. Durant, the Dodge brothers, Packard, and Walter Chrysler—reinforced Detroit's status as the world's automotive capital.
These are some amazing portraits of celebrities. Many of them are in black and white which is known to show more emotion. The portraits were done by celebrity photographer, Andrew McPherson. They are quite remarkable.
Remember those photo booths where you could get four pictures for a quarter. Well apparently, some celebrities do as well. Some are actors and some are singers but they all are very photogenic.

You might have heard that Russia is well-known for its bad roads. But this country is also famous for its railway cars falling down into big holes in the ground.
These photos are of some of the most famous circus freaks from the past. Although freak shows would be scorned today, they were a way for people who otherwise had no source of income to make a living. Some even got wealthy doing it.
It’s not that difficult to draw a famous face. Real challenge is to capture the person’s character and not just the likeness, especially in a caricature. But these ones created by Jason Seiler are simply amazing where he managed to show their real characters.
It is surprising that many well-known impressionist painters used still raw photos to create their artworks. They added colors and their vision to the original raw photograph, changed proportions and saved money because they didn’t have to pay art models any more. The results were amazing. For example, Edgar Degas used 3 raw photos to create his famous Ballet Dancers. Other artists followed Degas’ idea and also started to use photographs while painting their masterpieces.
Armored troop carriers made in Russia are well-known all over the world. These machines are made on the Arzamaz Machine-Building Plant in Nizhny Novgorod region. Inside this post you can take a virtual tour of the plant facilities. As for me, it's rather interesting.
The drawings and caricatures in this post are of some very famous people who you will recognize immediately. The two things they have in common is the exaggeration of their facial features or other famous assets and they are done very well and look really good.

This Redwood Log House is unique. It is made from one trunk of a Redwood tree by Len Moore who came up with this cool idea after finding a shelter in the Redwood tree trunk during a storm. Because this tree was really giant, the creator decided to build a house out of one log.
The house was constructed in 1938. It looks impressive, but the mere fact is that the tree used for the house “walls” was almost 2000 years old.
Actually there were 4 log houses built from one trunk, and one house now belongs to Robert Ripley. This cabin is 33 feet long. It contains over 11,000 feet of lumber, enough to build a five bedroom house. And it’s famous all over the world.

Some of them are perfect lookalikes. It is just amazing and really funny :)
Well-known American sideshow performer and actor, best known as Schlitzie Surtees for his role in the movie Freaks, was possibly born under the name of Simon Metz in the New York’s community Bronx in 1901. According to other rather “mystical” sources, he was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Maybe that’s why many of the circus posters billed Schlitze under the title “The Last of the Aztecs”.
The famous landmark in the Hollywood Hills area of Mount Lee in Los Angeles was created in 1923 as an advertisement.
Unfortunately for the advertisers, this sign was a frequent target of pranks and vandalism at that time.
Luckily for us, there’s always someone to take a photo, even at that time…
So let’s see now how the sign looked like when it was pranked or vandalized…
4 German fans of Doom wanted to pay tribute to this cult game!
So they customised a little bit some billboards in Berlin :)
Take a look at their other creations after the jump..

The title sums it up pretty well, you will see here pictures that are famous or not, but which are all interesting.
Each of them comes with a very interesting story, so take some time reading it!
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...

The Capybara is the largest living rodent in the world. Its closest relatives are chinchillas and guinea pigs. Its common name means "master of the grasses" in the Guarani language while its scientific name, hydrochaeris, is Greek for "water hog". Adult capybaras may grow to 130 centimetres (4.3 ft) in length, and weigh up to 65 kg (140 lb). The top recorded weight is 105.4 kg (232 lbs).
And this one named Caplin Rous (pronounced rose) is quite famous in the Internet
This hairy fashion show held in London is gonna make Lady Gaga jealous!
They call it fashion, I call it just weird stuff from and for weird people but I must admit that the one in form of lips is funny and pretty well done.
Usually, when we look at the pictures from the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, we don’t normally contest its authenticity. We automatically think that they are real. But, it proves to be wrong. Even at those times, the masters of photo manipulation were able to erase an “unnecessary” person or to add one. You will also see some modern pictures that were manipulated by the media. It is also interesting to see that the media want us to see only things that arrange them. Civil War Generals, c. 1865
Generally regarded as the world's first commercially successful photojournalist, Matthew Brady was also one of the medium's most accomplished manipulators. In this group portrait of William Tecumseh Sherman and his top officers, he added one figure. For the record, the men are, standing, from left: Oliver Otis Howard, William Babcock Hazen, Jefferson Columbus Davis and Joseph Anthony Mower; seated, from left: John Alexander Logan, Sherman, Henry Warner Slocum and Francis P. Blair.
The Original Image
Brady added Blair at the far right. One of Sherman's corps commanders in the critical final offensive in Georgia, Blair led the XVII Corps, which protected the rear of Sherman's army during the Atlanta campaign. Like the other men in the photo, he played an important role in the March to the Sea, helping deliver one of the final blows to the Confederate cause.
Remember this photo of the squirrel that put its face between the camera and a couple in Canada’s Banff National Park? We published it last week in one of our daily picdumps. This pic is actually super famous and made its way all around the web!
It’s so popular now that lots of people have made photomontages with this famous squirrel popping in diverse photos, known or not. Here is a collection of those pics.
If you are inspired, you can even make some by yourself very easily thanks to this website: The Squirrelizer.
And you can send them to us to this address: [email protected]. If there is enough good content, we will make another selection that will be de facto YOUR selection. So, give it a try!
Nothing much to say apart what’s written in the title. It’s a creative work and those pics are well done and really funny. I love the one with Gollum :))
Here are some photographs of the Beatles that have never been unveiled before.
It’s interesting to rediscover a once so popular band through nice black and white photos, especially when it comes to photographs of their early days in music, when they were young and not yet famous internationally.
Sergey Zverev, 46, is a Russian hairdresser, stylist, singer…etc quite famous in Russia but young people over there don’t really like him and often make fun of him. That’s why we can find lots of photoshopped pictures of him on the Internet. Look what Russian photoshoppers have made after the jump.
