Yes, its true you can now own a car that will go right into the water and take you anywhere you want to go. They are created with a Corvette LS engine and can reach 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. These cars are definitely worth a look or more...
These are aerial maps of various large cities. What is interesting about them is that they are taken in accordance with the number of photos that were taken by tourists. The most black color in the photos represent where the most photos were taken.

Take a look at this monster’s round jaw. It looks horrifying. But this creature is fantastic, as it can survive in extreme environments that would kill people and most animals and even survive the vacuum of space. It can stand temperatures of as low as -273 degrees C (-460 degrees F) and as high as 151 degrees C (303 degrees F). It can stay alive after boiling in hot water, and getting 1,000 times more radiation than humans. It can spend almost a decade without water and food. Probably, these monsters would have seized our Planet by now if not two circumstances. On the one hand, they are extremely small (the biggest adults are able to reach a body length of 1.5 mm). On the other hand, they are slow walkers. They are even called Tardigrada because of this.
It is said that New York tap water is delicious. But why is that? Maybe because it has plenty of tinny tiny crustaceans called copepods.
These copepods are absolutely harmless and are invisible to a naked eye. Apparently, they are added to tap water to eat mosquito larvae to keep water sources clear.
Accidents on the waters are more frequent than one would think and this huge gallery proves it well.
Indeed, lots of different boats wreck each year all over the world, and container ships are no exception!
The reasons for the accidents here are varied, but in all cases the photos are impressive.
Check these pictures of a dam spitting huge blasts of water because of floods formed by heavy rains.
Really impressive!
A glass half filled with water. What do different people think about it? Some thoughts are pretty funny, some are just smart, and others are stupid.
This is the largest and most expensive water fountain in the world. It is built and set in Burj Dubai Lake. It is over 900 feet long and can spray jets up to 500 feet high. The fountain can spray as much as 22,000 gallons of water in the air. Over 6,000 super lights and 25 color projectors help to create amazing dancing water sculptures. Watch the video to see the real beauty of this water fountain.
Alexander is only 14 years old, but he is a real fighter. He continues to enjoy his favorite sports even though many people don’t understand or support his desires.
It is a very topical issue today when the summer heat came in force.
These pictures were taken in New York in 1953 and show children having fun with a fire hydrant and fighting with a heat wave back then. I guess, not much has changed since then, I would love to do this too. It feels good, plus it is fun.

Cats don’t like water generally and it is easy to see the discontent on their funny faces ;)
Take a look.
This is a set of pictures from London Baby Swim, a school where they teach babies as young as 6 six weeks old to swim and to develop their motor skills. Of course, the parents take part in this process :)
For all the pranksters, I know you’ll appreciate it. This prank is just epic!
The best thing is that you’ll only need toilet paper core and water.
Take a look!
This rather unusual house looks very much like a water tower. In fact, it may have been one at one time. While it is very elegant on the inside, its round shape contrasts sharply with the square corners of some of the stairs and the kitchen. It is a very strange house indeed.
This is how ‘spring’ has started in Australia. An unprecedented hailstorm hit Melbourne.
In several hours, it was impossible to drive on the road. In some areas of the city, the water depth on the streets reached half a meter.
EDIT: For those who are surprised to see SPRING instead of AUTUMN. It was written on purpose, that's why it was put into quotation marks..
Here is an unusual winter fun - boxing on a piece of ice in the middle of a river.
You can also throw off an opponent or a judge in the icy water as there are no ropes ))
The amazing light show Odaiba Water Illumination began on December 21 in Tokyo.
Different images are projected on a huge 15m high and 40m wide screen, formed by the water spray accompanied with music. The show will run until January 11, 2010.
It looks simply fantastic! Photos are clickable.
A little “manly” surprise for the ladies :)
A mix of shirtless guys on the beaches, in the water etc. There’s a bit of everything: guys having fun, serious guys, short, big and there are some celebrities too.
And there will be a big selection of sexy men for Christmas. Don’t miss it!
A big set of wonderful pictures of patterns that nature creates from National Geographic, as so to say – natural beauty ;)
And it’s only the first part. If you like everything that has to do with nature, don’t miss the next two selections :)
To fully contemplate the pictures, click on them to open in a big format.
Enjoy!
A few days ago, when I saw this picture, I could not believe that this was possible.
The first thought was Photoshop. Then I thought that someone deliberately threw a monk in the air for a nice shot.
But today I found pictures that explain everything. As usual, everything brilliant is very simple ))
Thus, the disclosure of water walking secrets is inside the post ;)
These unique boats are called Kettuvalloms and they are one of the most important tourist attractions of India.
Kettuvalloms have almost everything: bedrooms with terraces, balconies with comfortable seating, bathrooms and even kitchen with private chef.
It is some sort of floating hotel for tourists wishing to get acquainted with the memorable sights of India.
The Super Aviator is a personal submersible designed like an aeroplane. But its first aim is to explore ancient ship wrecks. It is electric and so eco friendly and also noiseless. It can dive to a depth of over 1,000ft at a top speed of six knots.
It can dive for four missions of one hour per day or a one four-hour long exploration mission.
The creators say that it is the “closest feeling to what flying is like in your dreams.”
Billionaires as Roman Abramovich and Richard Branson have already made requests to buy a £1,5 million sub.

It looks like they had a real big party with lots of alcohol for several days in a row and now they have a nasty hangover ;)
In any case, a very amusing selection. Take a look.
Competition for blowing water out from a teapot is not the most stupid of the contests existing now.
But in any case, it would take the first place on the list of the most pointless competitions ))
The girl wanted to swim but she can’t, so her father decided to teach her how to swim.
And to be sure that his child is learning safely, he tied her with a rope in case if she’s going to drown he could pull her back.
Interesting methods I’d say.
