Meet the real soccer fan of Atletico Nacional team. Felipe Alvares is 25 years old, and he is in love with soccer. Thus he decided to make a tattoo in honor of Columbian soccer player Andres Escobar who was murdered in 1994. People still think Mr. Escobar died because some powerful drug lords had a bet on the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the game in which Columbia lost 1:2 to the USA. That tournament should be in history by now, but Felipe’s crazy tattoo probably reminds him of that big loss.
This will give the people who never think about what goes on behind the scenes of a movie that is being made a little insight. These are rare behind the scene photos of the Star Wars saga Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. It all looks so easy on the big screen.

In China, a cheap form of advertising like writing on the walls and pedestrian crossings is very popular. So plumbers, tailors and other craftsmen involved in handicraft leave their phone numbers and addresses this way. But this kind of advertising is banned, therefore the police have to deal with it. So all of these self-entrepreneurs have already experienced the hard way that it’s better not to mess with the Chinese police..
For the last six months this Russian fellow left his Staffordshire terrier in his car that he bought especially for the dog to keep him away from illegal dog fights. The man was divorced and didn’t have any place to keep the pooch. He feeds and walks the dog twice a day but no one knows how well the dog will do during one of Russia’s winters. Plus, it seems that the dog becomes more aggressive being locked up there all alone.
These notes were collected during some event in New York.
And what about you? Who were you when you were a kid?
You should see this 3-year-old boy. He is so young, and so super-sized that some nurseries ban him for being a "health hazard" to other children. While most average kids of this age are only about two stone, Xiao Hao’s weight is 5 times heavier. According to some medics, this child might have a growth hormone disorder. Other people believe he is just a victim of China's "Little Emperor" syndrome as parents in this country are allowed only one child. And their relatives spoil rotten babies.

33 miners were trapped at San Jose mine in Copiapo for more than two months. They were sealed 2,041-foot into the mine's lower reaches by a collapse of 700,000 tons of rock. Finally, these men were hoisted to the surface in a rescue capsule on October 12-13. The Chilean emergency workers and President Sebastian Pinera met them on the ground. Residents and pedestrians watched the rescue on a large screen in a public square and on TVs in electronics store. No one in recorded history has survived as long trapped underground as these 33 miners. For the first two weeks, no one even knew whether they were alive.

While it may not be difficult to slice a bagel into two pieces that are linked, I wouldn’t want to try it without these instructions. It may take a couple of tries for you to achieve success. Try it and surprise your spouse with it for breakfast.

Although it may not sound too appetizing, it actually looks rather tasty. It is made from some sort of ground meat, iced with mashed potatoes, and frosted with ketchup. Basically it is a meatloaf dinner all in one cake.

When Jonathan Blaustein purchased 10 early-season organic blueberries for $1, he was a little upset by this price, because six weeks earlier he had purchased 17 organic blueberries from Chile for the same amount of money. And those blueberries from Chile were from 800 miles away but were half the cost of California berries.
Eventually, after seeing many different menus around the world with various dollar-priced meals, photographer Mr. Blaustein, 36, decided to pursue a project “The Value of a Dollar”.
So, what food can you buy if you only have $1 in your wallet? See these photos taken by Mr. Blaustein and find out the answer.

This is one of the masterpieces introduced in Tate Modern’s vast Turbine Hall (London) by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. At first glance, these are usual sunflower seeds. But if you take a closer look, you’ll see huge seeds that are not real. These are hand-painted replicas made out of porcelain. Each seed is unique, and there are one hundred million of them. Can you believe that it took 2.5 years and 1,600 people to produce this installation?
