2009-11-05T06:24:00.000-08:00

Are you looking for a cool USB stick?? Well this is the place where you can see my collection of the coolest ones. I've managed to get a grip on a collection of USB sticks that just blow your mind.

Fly Art - To much time and too much flies

2009-11-05T06:03:00.000-08:00

Have you ever had an urge to express yourself but you didn't know how?? You don't know how to paint, you don't know how to make sculpture, you're not good at playing music on any instrument.. So what can you do.. Maybe the reason for your lack of idea is because you think too conservatively. Don't be restricted to only traditional art as painting, sculpturing etc. This is exactly what this guy did.. He, not only managed to get rid of these annoying flies that were constantly buzzing all around the room, but he made some funny, interesting stuff with them afterwards.. So these flies will leave their mark in history as anonymous supporters of art :) Check out this guys work and feel free to comment. Enjoy this FLY ART :)

A glimpse into the future - part 1

2009-03-16T03:08:00.000-07:00

Did you ever wonder how will the world look like in a few hundred years?? Well I did, so I took time to seek out some the most advanced technology and try to simulate the future. And I'm not talking about concept cars which we see every year on different auto shows like Geneva or Detroit. I'm talking about the real everyday stuff.. like cell phones, plasma TV, some other kind of TV screen maybe??, kitchen designs, building designs, table designs, computer designs, mp3 players etc. I found so many cool pictures of different future gadgets I just couldn't put them all in just one post. So this is the first part... Expect more pictures because I've found a lot of them!!!

Flask mobile phone, looks like a lighter, but it's really a cell phone. Imagine the possibilities...

Brix attachable mobile phones. This is really a picture of 10 cell phones connected to one another. Each of them is touch screen mobile phone that has a display on the whole surface of the phone. If you attach them you can choose what to display on each of them and form abigger screen or display some particular thing on one of them like the score of a soccer game. Amazing!!

A new kind of desk mp3 player. It takes very little place and looks amazing!!

A table laptop.. It really not a lap-top :), it's a table computer!!

Apple curved screen for better 3D feeling while whatching your favourite documentary on NBational Geographic.

A computer with 3 screens. Gaming should be 3 times the fun :) I actually think that this will look better in the future but the idea is futuristic!!

This is actually a real design buildings in Korea this looks too good to be true.. The buildings look terrific from a distance. I hope to visit Korea some day because of this..

The biggest things out there!!!

2009-02-27T05:10:00.001-08:00

It’s good to be big. From Samsung's largest LCD screen ever, biggest book, largest diamond, biggest mosquito, biggest cat to the tallest hotel. Take a look at some of the world’s biggest objects and creatures I could find.

Diamond
The Cullinan Diamond (aka the Great Star of Africa) is cut from the largest rough diamond ever found. The largest of the cuts, the Cullinan, is 530.2 carats. The diamond is currently owned by Queen Elizabeth II and is placed in the royal scepter, but is removable. The scepter is currently displayed at the Tower of London along with the rest of the British Crown Jewels.

“The Great Motherland of China” which hangs in the atrium of the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong is the largest Chinese silk painting in the world. The tapestry is 15 stories tall and is visible from the hotel’s glass elevators.

Airplane
The largest aircraft in the world is the Antonov An-225 Mriya. Making its maiden flight in 1988, it was built to transport the Soviet Union’s space shuttle Buran. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Antonov 225 did not fly for years until May, 2001, when a 15-minute test flight was conducted in hopes of using the plane again for transporting large cargo. The plane is 276 feet long and has a maximum gross weight of 1,411,000 pounds—also making it the heaviest plane in the air.

Book
The award for biggest published book goes to an author and scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Michael Hawley. The 133-pound book is five by seven feet, 112 pages, needs a gallon of ink for printing, and costs $2,000 to produce.

LCD Screen
The world’s largest LCD screen comes from Samsung. They’re hoping that some people have enough space in their living rooms for the 70-inch screen.

According to Guinness World Records, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai is the tallest hotel in the world. Completed in 1999, the hotel stands at 1,052 feet and is built on a man-made island. Towards the top of the hotel is a helipad for any guests hoping to arrive in their helicopters.

I've got no comment on the next three pictures.. You figure it out..

Making of some cool pictures of famous people

2009-02-19T02:09:00.000-08:00

Did you know that when you want to draw a picture of someone famous, you first have to think about what job they do or their favorite hobby?? Well, neither did I!! But it turned out that it's true. For example, when you want to draw Andre Agassi you should first draw a tennis ball!! Or when you want to draw a picture of Jacques Chirac(former president of France) you should first outline a shape of France.. Weird, huh??

New NIKON picture function

2009-02-17T03:03:00.000-08:00

New Nikon camera has a face recognition function that can find a face in the picture and it marks it with a square for better focus. Well, besides the clarity and better photos, there is one more advantage to this new feature.. Here are some sample pictures that display this new an exciting feature :) To look closer at the pictures(I would recommend it) just click on the picture and then click back on your browser to return!!

How to fail an exam - real pictures

2009-02-16T04:06:00.000-08:00

Well, I doubt that anyone ever had problems in failing exams or, for that matter, that anyone even tried to fail an exam. Nevertheless, if you want to do it... This is definitely the funniest way!! these pictures show real tests and the funny answers people gave to those questions asked. If I was a teacher I'd grade each and every one of them with an A+ for creativity!! Feel free to comment on these pictures. Previous post about funny pictures of test results - see here.

Motivational posters

2008-12-12T00:48:00.000-08:00

Well here are some pictures that I found that tell you some interesting things about life and the way things are. These motivational posters are definitely something you'll enjoy and if you're feeling down these are bound to lift your spirit up. Don't miss this one :)

Victims of alchocol overdose

2008-11-17T00:31:00.000-08:00

When a person drinks alcohol at a rate faster than his liver can metabolize it, the alcohol accumulates in the bloodstream, subsequently affecting judgment and coordination, and possibly leading to loss of consciousness. When dealing with alcohol overdose, keep in mind that since the effects of the alcohol depend upon a variety of factors, such as body weight, number of drinks per hour, and individual metabolic rates. What you're about to see is not for the weakhearted and for children under 14 years of age...

Sexy Feet - more like: I'm gona plow your field with my feet

2008-10-28T05:07:00.000-07:00

I guess when all else fails... like doing your hair, wearing tons of makeup, laying under a sunlamp for 2 hours a day, buying the best clothes you can find, getting a plastic surgery of your whole self.. and STILL you can't find a man??... THEN this would be a good idea, but probably not even then... What are these women thinking?? The worst possible attempt to try to look your best. You could plow my whole estate with these feet and not break a nail!!

She's driving a car with these.. You should sit behind the wheel of a monster truck , it would look better on you

WTF Silicone Implants???

2008-10-21T00:38:00.000-07:00

Silicone implants are most commonly used for breast enlargement, pectoral implants which are the enlargement of the male chest wall, butt implants etc. Such implants are used for cosmetic reasons; to reconstruct the breast (e.g. after a mastectomy; or to correct genetic deformities) or aesthetic reasons to improve the appearance of a person. Well, with these people this is definitely NOT the case... The things you're about to see aren't pretty at all. These implants would probably look better on a Christmas tree.. I'm surprised at what will people do and how far they will go to be different and single themselves out of ordinary everyday people. I think some of them even have a secret desire of having a demoniacal or alienish appearance.

Filing folder for tough days at work!!

2008-10-10T04:27:00.000-07:00

You feeling down?? Your boss is bothering you all day about deadlines you didn't deliver?? You can't solve a problem the future of your job depends on?? Don't worry!! You'll feel better in no time.. Just pick up the red filing folder on your shelf and look inside.. It'll instantly make you feel better, you'll be nicer to your colleagues and you could even get a promotion for your cheerful and nice personality that refreshes the atmosphere around the office. What could possibly be in that filing folder??

Sleeping alone?? Not for long...

2008-10-09T05:51:00.000-07:00

You've maybe seen optical illusion type commercials like bags that bite your hand or carry a gun or other similar stuff. This is the first time I saw designers take that kind of approach in your bedroom and bathroom. I find these sheets, towels and covers a very cool touch to your apartment. Even when you're sleeping or showering alone, you won't look lonely:) The only problem you could run into is buying those towels and not telling your wife... The reaction should be hysterical!!

Worst cosmetic surgery ever seen!!

2008-10-06T03:52:00.000-07:00

Cosmetic Surgery defined as a subspecialty of surgery that uniquely restricts itself to the enhancement of appearance through surgical and medical techniques. It is specifically concerned with maintaining normal appearance, restoring it, or enhancing it beyond the average level toward some aesthetic ideal. In 2006, nearly 11 million cosmetic surgeries were performed in the United States alone. This is a definition of plastic surgery I found on wiki. Keywords associated with the term of plastic surgery are enhancement, aesthetic ideal and normal appearance. This is a case of cosmetic surgery that lacks either one of these things. Except maybe achieving the aesthetic ideal of Betty Boop. Is this terrible or WHAT?? This is NOT normal!!

WTF Vehicles

2008-10-01T06:20:00.000-07:00

Vehicles that do not travel on land often are called craft, such as watercraft, sail craft, aircraft, hovercraft, and spacecraft. Land vehicles are classified broadly by what is used to apply steering and drive forces against the ground therefor they require the use of wheels. What you're about to see is something different!! This combination of vehicle characteristics you can see only in James Bond movies... A carpenter from Venice, who is famous for his creativity, created a series of water crafts that look like land vehicles and they are... listen to this.. MADE ALL OUT OF WOOD!! The craftsmanship and his attention to detail are AMAZING!!!

Fourteen New Ways to tie your shoe

2008-09-30T06:03:00.000-07:00

Shoelaces did not become widely popular until the 20th century. Previously shoes were slip-on, buckled, or buttoned. Up until now it never crossed my mind to try and tie my shoes in a different way than the normal one. Well here are some new ways I found that you'll maybe like. I personally think that a few of them look really cool and useful..Enjoy, but watch out not to get strangled in your laces while trying out your new style :)

15 dorkiest looking bands in the world

2008-09-29T06:38:00.000-07:00

This is a tribute to the 15 dorkiest Swedish bands. Sweden has a rich musical tradition, ranging from medieval folk ballads to hip hop music. The 1960s have become synonymous with all the new, exciting, radical, and subversive events and trends of the period, which continued to develop in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and beyond. Well, here are some of the bands that were maybe a bit too radical and too extreme. Luckily, these trends didn't find much response in the later years.. Imagine us today in such clothes or with these haircuts.... TERRIBLE :)

Cool Anti-game-violence propaganda pictures

2008-09-29T00:30:00.000-07:00

One of the most common criticisms of video games are that they allegedly increase violent tendencies among youth. This anti-violence propaganda is a cool way to explain to the general public that by buying these video games we train our children to become killers. Some socials studies confirm that video games do not contribute to these problems, while others claim to have established a link. Either way I find these pictures very interesting and they certainly made me think about that problem.

What is eaten in a week in different parts of the world

2008-09-26T02:35:00.000-07:00

These pictures show the amount of food that an average family eats in a week in different parts of the world. They consume nutrients by eating the appropriate amounts of food they can afford, including an adequate amount of water and other drinks. Some families are very big and eat almost nothing(by my opinion), some are smaller and eat a lot. Eating habits of these people are somewhat affected by the climate they live in, but mostly by average social standard of their country. Observe the differences between different parts of the world and ask yourself why do some cultures have obesity issues.. What country is most similar to eating habits at your home??

Mongolia

Nepal

Africa

England

Romania

Belgium

Iran

Mexico

Weapons that make you wonder

2008-09-25T00:49:00.000-07:00

Weapons have been used to project group will and for defence throughout human history. Although some have argued for revolutionary development in weapon technology, most developments have been evolutionary. Military weapons were developed by teams of experts to provide better accuracy, longer range and better firepower. But not all weapons are used in military purposes, some of them are used for personal protection. Development of such weapons progressed throughout the years. Although in our time weapons are standard issued and factory made, in the past a lot of weapons for personal use were custom made and their shape and purpose depended on the customers demand. That gave birth to new kinds of interesting and extraordinary weapon collections...

Human Alphabet

2008-09-22T03:27:00.000-07:00

I'm sure you've all seen human fonts like fitness alphabet, Silvester fonts or something similar, but I bet you've never seen those fonts performed by real people!! You're about to see it right here and now. These figures are done under water by male and a female gymnasts. At first I was wondering how did they do it.. Standing on solid ground was out of question because...well you'll figure it out. Next I thought they were hanging on invisible strings, but that's also a bad guess because they're naked.. they would have some kind of straps on them.. So the only possible solution would be under water. I confirmed my idea by observing their faces and their hair, after that it's clear as water :) I love this kind of unusual art!!

Seven reasons NOT to take you kids to the ZOO

2008-07-07T06:00:00.000-07:00

Every parent probably thins that taking their kids to the zoo may be very educational for them. The child can learn all sorts of interesting information about different kinds of animals like their lifestyles, their eating habits and the surrounding that best suits their needs. BUT they may also see and learn some things that you wouldn't like them to learn or see yet. Well here are some pictures of unwanted learning experiences your children could have by visiting your local zoo. Very funny though!! :)

Mom look, their playing in the grass !!

Hey dad, look at those deers!! They're trying to climb on top of each other!!

Mom?? What is he doing??

No comment!!

Hehehehe :)

The facial expression is great :)

Three most important periods of a man's life

2008-07-04T06:20:00.000-07:00

Every man goes through a number of important periods in his life. Like puberty, high school, college, marriage, middle age.. and lots of others. All these are important BUT, the three most important periods are, single, married and divorced... Well, here are some great pictures to illustrate those three periods..

Single

Married

Divorced

You think your shoes are uncomfortable??

2008-06-11T05:16:00.000-07:00

If you think your shoes are uncomfortable, think again!! The following pictures show the latest fashion rage in Japan. These shoes actually look so uncomfortable that I can't imagine anyone wearing them. You think that modern Japanese women are crazy?? Think AGAIN!! In the old days Japanese most beautiful and talented women were called Geisha. They were entertainers whose skills included performing various Japanese arts, such as classical music and dance. Contrary to popular belief, geisha were not prostitutes. But they were supposed to look their best at all times. Back in those days small feet were considered beautiful. And naturally not all the women had small feet so they made them small by tying all sorts of bandages around their feet so they would tighten up and fit small shoes. I guess that this is the modern way of achieving that. In the last seven pictures an old woman, who was a Geisha in her youth, showed the world what it meant to be beautiful in Japan in those days. Horrible!!

Foodscapes - Do not look at this if you're hungry!!

2008-06-04T00:57:00.001-07:00

English photographer Carl Warner made a series of realistic photographs of landscapes and nature. The difference between these photos and any other similar artists photos is that Carl Warner made the landscapes, the streets, the hills and every other detail you find on his photos all out of food. He called this series of photos, that show places made of food, Foodscapes!! WARNING - do NOT look at this if you're hungry, you could bite someone!! :)

Will you fall from the amazing Waterfall??

2008-04-07T06:49:00.000-07:00

This waterfall is a natures miracle!! The drop from the waterfall is 135 meters high and people swim to the very edge and look down with no regard to that!! You probably wonder why don't they fall down?? This amazing waterfall is shaped like a pool so you really can't fall (unless you're clumsy as hell:)!! At the very edge of the waterfall there is a naturally shaped fence and the water pours over it in very small amounts so the current is too weak to pull you over. People even bring their kids as well as old folks to come to the edge!! AMAZING!!

This is gonna hurt!!

2008-04-01T02:02:00.000-07:00

Some things hurt more, some less, but I think that the following pictures resulted in the worst kind of pain!! I suppose that not everybody has the guts to look at these so you judge for your self if your the though guy. No blood or that kind of stuff but some of these pictures are really hard to look at. And don't say I didn't warn you!!

This is baaad..

Ouch!!

The right moment

Bat out of hell

This one is actually cool!! I bet he doesn't think so

You've got to check your wheels man!!

First Pregnant Male??

2008-03-27T04:46:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of Thomas Beatie.. First thing you'll probably notice that he is a man and that he looks pregnant. Well, that's correct!! He and his wife Nancy live, what appears, a normal life.. except this one little thing. .

Thomas Beatie appears to be a normal male person, but he is really a transgender man. He was born as a female and during his life decided to become a man. Actually he decided to LOOK like a man and still keep his female reproductive organs.

Nancy and Thomas decided to have a baby and because of Nancys prior medical conditions Thomas was the only one that could carryout the pregnancy. And so came a new era in humanity !!!! THE PREGNANT MAN!!!

Thomas isn't actually the only man that has an urge to carry a baby. In search of information about Thomas I found some interesting articles about male pregnancy. Thomas is in fact a woman without breasts and with a beard so pregnancy is not such a strange thing. However, some real "men" want to have babies as well. In such case pregnancy is a bit complicated because of the female uterus that men don't have, obviously. So doctors at RYT Hospital are working their best to find a way to implant a uterus into a mans belly(what a waste of time, women already have it). They have actually succeeded in doing so and the first pregnant man got knocked up!! Well done!! The delivery will require open surgery (Cesarean section) to remove the baby and the placenta.

Mr. Lee Mingway, the first REAL pregnant male

Don't mess with Women!!

2008-03-12T03:30:00.001-07:00

If you ever get into a situation where you could cheat on your wife or girlfriend make sure that there's NO WAY for her to find out!! This is what happens to those who don't think twice before they act.. You never know what kind of a monster you could set free when you hurt your woman so.... Don't mess with women!! Or at least be careful :)

I wonder where is this billboard!! I bet it's right in front of his working place!!

That's a lot of people!!

This is a bit too much!! I could kill someone because of this!!

This is the same car!! Totally ruined!!

Heheheh :)

Coffee Art - For all Coffee Lovers

2008-02-28T01:27:00.001-08:00

Here are some great pictures of coffee art!!I have never seen something like this, I imagine that this is very hard to make because the foam on the coffee is fluid like so when you try to draw something on one side it affects the other side of the cup. It would be very cool if some coffeehouse would serve coffee but I suppose it can not be done 'cause your coffee would probably get cold by the time they managed to draw such a picture!! Very cool though!! Nice work!!

The Right Position is Everything

2008-02-06T05:44:00.000-08:00

In photography, the most important things are light and position.. and of course a camera:) Well, here are some examples of nice positioning in amateur photography, as for the light you should look at some other posts in the "Visual Art" category that involve professional photography!!

The only thing that bothers me here is her facial expression.. She looks disgusted!!

On the other hand, she looks very happy!!

A little disrespectful but funny though!!

Party Cats!!

2008-02-04T02:23:00.000-08:00

This is what people actually do to their cats!! It costs 15,000$ and lasts for three months!!! WTF?? What do these poor cats think when they accidentally run in to a mirror?? "Look at this poor sucker, he must have rolled around in a paint factory or something!!" It maybe looks cool, but come on people.. Imagine yourself looking like Bozo the Clown for three months!!

Scottish pattern cat

These actually look nice :)

This poor kitty looks like ice cream!

Terrible idea!!

Look at her face!! It has WTF written all over it!!

Cool one!!

Patriot cat!! Poor little thing..

More ice cream cats!!

What did this guy have in mind??

This one is the coolest one!!

No comment!! :)

Butterfly cat!! This one definitely can't get lost :))

Modern Furniture

2008-02-02T04:26:00.000-08:00

Up until now I thought of furniture in a traditional way, chairs, tables, beds, everything static and dull. These pieces of furniture are something different, imagine if your bedroom, or living room would look like the beach with stones and plants all over, or if your bed would rock you to sleep like you were an infant once again!! Some smart people got together and designed something totally unconventional, take a look at this!!

Octopus Studios Fish Tank

This looks very nice and it's probably not that hard to assemble but you'll definitely have some trouble with the cleaning!! What would you do if the tunnel from the lowest bowl got dirty?? Reassemble the whole thing??

This Sitscape couch lets your imagination run wild!! Where would you lay?? It is designed to cover six basic relaxation positions!!

Hoverit Lounger lets you relax while you look like you're levitating, although it doesn't look so comfortable!!

Maya Single chair is designed to provide you the ultimate movie watching experience!! That experience costs money.. :)

Globus mobile office provides you and your laptop comfortable and space saving mini office!! You can fold it and it turns into a white globe!!

Livingstone has designed surreal stone like soft pillows that give your room a natural look!! Very nice, I'd like to have some at home!!

The Private Cloud is a patented rocking bed by German designer Manuel Kloker!! Looks very nice it's probably fun at the start but it isn't such a good idea if you wan't to be quiet... If you know what I mean! :)

Kodak moments

2008-01-30T07:09:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures of the most extraordinary events that happen very rarely and photos of those events are almost impossible to capture. There are some similar posts I've published in the past, like "Amazing photography by Matt Stuart", "The right moment", "High speed photography", but I'd say that this is the best one yet.

Aye - Aye the most fascinating creature on Earth

2008-01-29T09:37:00.000-08:00

I find Aye-Aye the most fascinating creature from th top "25 oddest animals on our planet"" post so I decided to dedicate one just for him. These pictures show a specimen that was raised in the Bristol zoo and his name is Raz. Raz has four people looking after him and feeding him every two hours by hand. Razs specie, that lives mostly in Madagascar, has only 1000 members still living on our planet. This specie is endangered because people used to kill them for their peculiar looks and thought that they were a bad omen. Raz is actually a very friendly and kind of a shy animal and has no evil intentions :)

25 Oddest and Weirdest Species on Our Planet

2008-01-28T00:02:00.000-08:00

You think you've seen it all?? Well, think again!! This is a collection of 25 most unusual and weirdest animals on earth.. From forest and land animals to the animals from the deepest and darkest depths of the ocean. Some of these are so odd you wont even believe that something like that could actually exist. I've put some info about them so you can learn something as well!!

Aye-aye

The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.
Daubentonia is the only genus in the family Daubentoniidae and infra order Chiromyiformes. The Aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus (although it is currently an endangered species); a second species (Daubentonia robusta) was exterminated over the last few centuries.

Sun Bear

The Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a bear found primarily in the tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia .
The Sun Bear stands approximately 4 ft ( 1.2 m ) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear family. It is often called the dog bear because of its small stature. It has a 2 in ( 5 cm ) tail and on average weighs less than 145 lb ( 65 kg ). Males tend to be slightly larger than females.
Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. This distinct marking gives the sun bear its name.

Blob fish

The blob fish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania . Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans.
Blob fish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blob fish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front it.

Proboscis Monkey

Nasalis larvatus also known as Long-nosed Monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey. It is the only species in monotypic genus Nasalis.
The most distinctive trait of this monkey is the male's large protruding nose. The purpose of the large nose is unclear, but it has been suggested that it is a result of sexual selection. The female Proboscis Monkey prefers big-nosed male s, thus propagating the trait.
Males are much larger than females, reaching 72 cm ( 28 inches ) in length, with an up to 75 cm tail, and weighing up to 24 kg ( 53 pounds ). Females are up to 60 cm long, weighing up to 12 kg ( 26 lb ).
The Proboscis Monkey also has a large belly, as a result of its diet. Its digestive system is divided into several parts, with distinctive gut flora, which help in digesting leaves. This digestive process releases a lot of gas, resulting in the monkey's "bloated" bellies. A side-effect of this unique digestive system is that it is unable to digest ripe fruit, unlike most other simians. The diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds and leaves.

Sloth

Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in Central and South America belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Most scientists call these two families the Folivora suborder, while some call it Phyllophaga.
Sloths are omnivores. They may eat insects, small lizards and carrion, but their diet consists mostly of buds, tender shoots, and leaves.
Sloths have made extraordinary adaptations to an arboreal browsing lifestyle. Leaves, their main food source, provide very little energy or nutrition and do not digest easily: sloths have very large, specialized, slow-acting stomachs with multiple compartments in which symbiotic bacteria break down the tough leaves.
As much as two-thirds of a well-fed sloth's body-weight consists of the contents of its stomach, and the digestive process can take as long as a month or more to complete. Even so, leaves provide little energy, and sloths deal with this by a range of economy measures: they have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 degrees Celsius or 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit), and still lower temperatures when resting. Sloths mainly live in Cecropia trees.

Angora Rabbit

The Angora rabbit is a variety of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft hair. The Angora is one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit, originating in Anka ra , Turkey , along with the Angora cat and Angora goat. The rabbits were popular pets with French royalty in the mid 1700s, and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century. They first appeared in the United States in the early 1900s. They are bred largely for their long wool, which may be removed by shearing or plucking (gently pulling loose wool).
There are many individual breeds of Angora rabbits, four of which are ARBA recognized. Such breeds include, French, German, Giant, English, Satin, Chinese, Swiss, Finnish, to name a few.

Platypus

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia , including Tasmania . Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.
The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed mammal baffled naturalists when it was first discovered, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals; the male Platypus has a spur on the hind foot which delivers a poison capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the Platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia ; it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin.
Until the early 20th century it was hunted for its fur, but it is now protected throughout its range. Although captive breeding programs have had only limited success and the Platypus is vulnerable to the effects of pollution, it is not under any immediate threat.

Pygmy Marmoset

The Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea) is a monkey native to the rain forest canopies of western Brazil , southeastern Colombia , eastern Ecuador , and eastern Peru . It is one of the smallest primates, with its body length ranging from 14- 16 cm (excluding the 15- 20 cm tail) and the smallest monkey. Males weigh around 140 g ( 5 ounces ), and females only 120 g ( 4.2 ounces ).
Despite its name, the Pygmy Marmoset is somewhat different from the typical marmosets classified in genus Callithrix. As such, it is accorded its own sub genus, which was formerly recognized as its own genus, Cebuella.
The Pygmy Marmoset has a tawny coat, and a ringed tail that can be as long as its body. Their claws are specially adapted for climbing trees, a trait unique to the species. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, insects, and sometimes even small reptiles. Much of their diet, however, comes from tapping trees for sap. Up to two-thirds of their time is spent gouging tree bark to reach the gummy sap. The Pygmy Marmoset has specialized incisors for gouging holes in bark. Unfortunately, because of its small size, and its swift movements, it is very hard to observe in the wild.
In captivity, the Pygmy Marmoset can live up to 11 years.

Alpaca

The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid developed from the wild alpacas. It resembles a sheep in appearance, but is larger and has a long erect neck as well as coming in many colors, whereas sheep are generally bred to be white and black.
Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru , northern Bolivia , and northern Chile at an altitude of 3500 to 5000 meters above sea-level, throughout the year.
Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike them are not used as beasts of burden but are valued only for their fiber. Alpacas only have fleece fibers, not woolen fibers, used for making knitted and woven items much as sheep wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America , and sweaters, socks and coats in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru , 12 as classified in Australia and 22 as classified in America .

Frill-necked Lizard

The Frill-necked Lizard, or Frilled Lizard also known as the Frilled Dragon, (Chlamydosaurus kingii) is so called because of the large ruff of skin which usually lies folded back against its head and neck. The neck frill is supported by long spines of cartilage, and when the lizard is frightened, it gapes its mouth showing a bright pink or yellow lining, and the frill flares out, displaying bright orange and red scales. The frill may also aid in thermo regulation.
They may grow up to one meter in total length. They often walk quadrupedally when on the ground. When frightened they begin to run on all-fours and then accelerate onto the hind-legs. In Australia , the frill-necked lizard is also known as the "bicycle lizard" because of this behavior. Males are significantly larger than females both as juveniles and when mature. The frill of the Australian frilled dragon is used to frighten off potential predators - as well as hissing and lunging. If this fails to ward off the threat, the lizard flees bipedally to a nearby tree where it climbs to the top and relies on camouflage to keep it hidden.

Shoebill

The Shoebill, Balaeniceps rex also known as Whalehead is a very large bird related to the storks. It derives its name from its massive shoe-shaped bill.
The Shoebill is a very large bird, averaging 1.2 m ( 4 ft ) tall, 5.6 kg ( 12.3 lbs ) and 2.33 m ( 7.7 ft ) across the wings. The adult is mainly gray, the juveniles are browner. It lives in tropical east Africa, in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia .
The Shoebill was added rather recently to the ornithological lists; the species was only discovered in the 19th century when some skins were brought to Europe . It was not until years later that live specimens reached the scientific community. The bird was known to both ancient Egyptians and Arabs however. There exist Egyptian images depicting the Shoebill while the Arabs referred to the bird as abu markub, which means one with a shoe. Clearly, this refers to the striking bill.

Dumbo Octopus

The octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are sometimes nicknamed "Dumbo octopuses" from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species.

Star-nosed Mole

The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States . It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura.
It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small invertebrates, aquatic insects, worms and mollusks. It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds. Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater. It is active day and night and remains active in winter, when it has been observed tunneling through the snow and swimming in ice-covered streams. Little is known about the social behavior of the species, but it is suspected that it is colonial.
The Star-nosed Mole is covered in thick blackish brown water-repellent fur and has large scaled feet and a long thick tail, which appears to function as a fat storage reserve for the spring breeding season. Adults are 15 to 20 cm in length, weigh about 55 g , and have 44 teeth. The mole's most distinctive feature is a circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of the snout. These are used to identify food by touch, such as worms, insects and crustaceans.

Pink Fairy Armadillo

The Pink Fairy Armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncatus) or Pichiciego is the smallest species of armadillo (mammals of the family Dasypodidae, mostly known for having a bony armor shell). It is approximately 90- 115 mm long excluding the tail, and is pale rose or pink in color. It is found in central Argentina where it inhabits dry grasslands and sandy plains with thorn bushes and cacti. It has the ability to bury itself completely in a matter of seconds if frightened.
The Pink Fairy Armadillo burrows small holes near ant colonies in dry dirt. It feeds mainly on ants and ant larvae near its burrow. Occasionally it feeds on worms, snails, insects and larvae, or various plant and root material.

Narwhal

The Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is an Arctic species of cetacean. It is a creature rarely found south of latitude 70°N. It is one of two species of white whale in the Monodontidae family (the other is the beluga whale). It is possibly also related to the Irrawaddy dolphin.
The English name narwhal is derived from the Dutch name narwhal which in turn comes from the Danish narhval which is based on the Old Norse word nar, meaning "corpse." This is a reference to the animal's color. The narwhal is also commonly known as the Moon Whale.
In some parts of the world, the Narwhal is colloquially referred to as a "ream fish."

Hag fish

Hag fish are marine cranials of the class Myxini, also known as Hyperotreti. Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more primitive lineage than any other group that is commonly defined fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Their unusual feeding habits and slime-producing capabilities have led members of the scientific and popular media to dub the hagfish as the most "disgusting" of all sea creatures.
Hag fish are long, vermiform and can exude copious quantities of a sticky slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named). When captured and held by the tail, they escape by secreting the fibrous slime, which turns into a thick and sticky gel when combined with water, and then cleaning off by tying themselves in an overhand knot which works its way from the head to the tail of the animal, scraping off the slime as it goes. Some authorities conjecture that this singular behavior may assist them in extricating themselves from the jaws of predatory fish. However, the "sliming" also seems to act as a distraction to predators, and free-swimming hag fish are seen to "slime" when agitated and will later clear the mucus off by way of the same traveling-knot behavior.

Komondor Dog

Females are 27 inches (69cm) at the withers. Male Komondor are a minimum of 28 inches at the withers, but many are over 30 inches tall, making this one of the larger common breeds of dog. The body is not overly coarse or heavy, however, and people unfamiliar with the breed are often surprised by how quick and agile the dogs are.
Its long, thick, strikingly corded white coat (the heaviest amount of fur in the canine world) resembles dreadlocks or a mop. The puppy coat is soft and fluffy. However, the coat is wavy and tends to curl as the puppy matures. A fully mature coat is formed naturally from the soft undercoat and the coarser outer coat combining to form tassels, or cords. Some help is needed in separating the cords so the dog does not turn into one large matted mess. The length of the cords increases with time as the coat grows. Shedding is very minimal with this breed, contrary to what one might think (once cords are fully formed). The only substantial shedding occurs as a puppy before the dreadlocks fully form. The Komondor is born with only a white coat, unlike the similar-looking Puli, which is usually white, black or sometimes grayish. However, a working Komondor's coat may be discolored by the elements, and may appear off-white if not washed regularly.

White-faced Saki Monkey

The White-faced Saki (Pithecia pithecia), also known as the Guianan Saki and the Golden-faced Saki, is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey, found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. This monkey mostly feed on fruits, but also nuts, seeds, and insects.

Emperor Tamarin

The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a tamarin allegedly named for its similarity with the German emperor Wilhelm II. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name.
This tamarin lives in the southwest Amazon Basin , in east Peru , north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas.
The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly gray colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. The animal reaches a length of 24 to 26 cm , plus a 35 cm long tail. It weighs approximately 300 to 400 g .
This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree-covered areas. It is a diurnal animal, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs.

Axolotl

The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City . Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos. They are commonly kept as pets in the United States , Great Britain , Australia , Japan (where they are sold under the name Wooper Rooper, and other countries.
Axolotls should not be confused with waterdogs, the larval stage of the closely related Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum and Ambystoma mavortium), which is widespread in much of North America which also occasionally become neotenic, nor with mud puppies (Necturus spp.), fully aquatic salamanders which are unrelated to the axolotl but which bear a superficial resemblance.

Sucker-footed Bat

The Madagascar Sucker-footed Bat, Old World Sucker-footed Bat, or Sucker-footed Bat (Myzopoda aurita and Myzopoda schliemanni) is a species of bat in the Myzopodidae family.

Tapir

Tapirs are large browsing mammals, roughly pig-like in shape, with short, prehensile snouts. They inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia . All four species of tapir are classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, horses and rhinoceroses.

Yeti Crab

Kiwa hirsuta is a crustacean discovered in 2005 in the South Pacific Ocean . This decapod, which is approximately 15 cm ( 6 inches ) long, is notable for the quantity of silky blond setae (resembling fur) covering its pereiopods (thoracic legs, including claws). Its discoverers dubbed it the "yeti lobster" or "yeti crab"[2].
K. hirsuta was discovered in March 2005 by a group organised by Robert Vrijenhoek of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Monterey , California , using the submarine DSV Alvin, operating from RV Atlantis[3]. The discovery was announced on the 7th of March, 2006. It was found 1,500 km ( 900 miles ) south of Easter Island in the South Pacific, at a depth of 2,200 m ( 7,200 feet ), living on hydrothermal vents along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge[4]. Based on both morphology and molecular data, the species was deemed to form a new genus and family (Kiwaidae). The animal has strongly reduced eyes that lack pigment, and is thought to be blind.
The 'hairy' pincers contain filamentous bacteria, which the creature may use to detoxify poisonous minerals from.

Tarsier

Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infra order Tarsiiformes. The phylogenetic position of extant tarsiers within the order Primates has been debated for much of the past century, and tarsiers have alternately been classified with strepsirrhine primates in the suborder Prosimii, or as the sister group to the simians (=Anthropoidea) in the infra order Haplorrhini. Analysis of SINE insertions, a type of macro mutation to the DNA, is argued to offer very persuasive evidence for the monophyly of Haplorrhini, where other lines of evidence, such as DNA sequence data, had remained ambiguous. Thus, some systematizers argue that the debate is conclusively settled in favor of a monophyletic Haplorrhini.
Tarsiers have enormous eyes and long feet. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, which is how they got their name. They are primarily insectivorous, and catch insects by jumping at them. They are also known to prey on birds and snakes. As they jump from tree to tree, tarsiers can catch even birds in motion. Gestation takes about six months, and tarsiers give birth to single offspring. All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits, but like many nocturnal organisms some individuals may show more or less activity during the daytime. Unlike many nocturnal animals, however, tarsiers lack a light-reflecting area (tapetum lucidum) of the eye.

Can you find a bear in this picture?? Well watch a little closer, because there IS infact a bear in this picture!! The stupid bear was so curious that he somehow managed to climb up the bridge and get stuck at the top!! Luckily some people spoted him and called the local rangers to get him out of this difficult situation!!

Korean Metro!!

2007-11-09T06:36:00.000-08:00

WTF is this!! When someone mentions the word metro I think of a metal, gray train with blinking broken lights!! this is something different! Here are some pictures of a metro in Korea! Who would think of an idea like this.. disco metro!! Think about how cool it would be to get out of a club and continue to have fun and meet girls on your way home!! Nice!

Condom Fashion !!

2007-11-02T04:39:00.001-07:00

I thought condoms had only one purpose, preventing your girlfriend from having a baby!! Some people had a different opinion! These guys decided to make a fashion show made entirely out of condoms!! Everything you see in these pictures is made of condoms, all the dresses, all the hats, everything!! After getting one of these no one should have an unwanted pregnancy!!

Nice craft work!

How about this lollipop?? :)

Darth Vader once again proved his superiority! Transformers had a new idea about transforming into a sports car, an airplane, a helicopter, a truck etc. But what they didn't think of was.... The Death Star!! Yeah, Darth Vader has the ultimate transforming ability, he transforms into a weapon of mass destruction!!The only thing better than this would be if he transformed into a transformer!! You go get them Darth!!

Here's Darth in comparison to his camouflaged self

Darth rules!!

Transformers tried to copy his idea, but it didn't work..

Pig with six legs

2007-08-29T10:04:00.000-07:00

I felt so sorry about the little pig that I decided to dedicate a whole post to him. This little pig was born in Vrpolje, which is a small village in Croatia. The reason of his defect is unknown. He was born with other five of his siblings who all turned out fine, all except him. The owner of the farm was amazed to find a pig with six legs, two pairs of genitalia(2penis+4balls in his case) and two anal holes. He says that the behaviour of the little pig is not affected by his defect and that he is "happy like a little pig". The other pigs are also fine with his deformation and act around him as they do around the normal ones and so does his mother that orderly feeds him every day. The owner says that he will treat the little one as he would others until he finds that the pig is under torment in which case he would put him to sleep. But for now the "little squid", as the locals and the family call him, is safe and happy running around the farm and has become a favorite pet to the family.

Amazing Abilities

2007-08-29T06:31:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered about how some animals have special abilities that allow the to see in the dark, avoid obstacles even though they cannot see, sense their prey even if it is not close etc.

Well Here are some of the most interesting abilities I could find on the net . I tried to list them as top ten but just couldn't tell which one is more amazing. Did you know that Boas (up-left) have temperature-sensitive organs located between the eyes and nostrils that allow these snakes to sense the body heat of their prey.No? Didn't think so! Cats have a mirror-like membrane in the backs of their eyes that lets them hunt and move in almost complete darkness and the membrane reflects light after it has already traveled through the retina, giving the eyes another chance to nab the photons as they make their second trip..

Bats avoid obstacles and nab insects on the wing by emitting ultrasonic squeaks and interpreting the echo the sound waves make after bouncing off objects in the environment. Dolphins use similar waves to communicate with each other and move in murky water.

Some fish like this drum fish "hear" using their air bladders. The bladders detect sound vibrations and relay them to the inner ear that transmits them to the brain.

The eyes of insects and birds are attuned to wavelengths of light outside the visible range that humans see in. Birds that appear drab to us are often radiant in colors we don't even have names for. Weird, colors that we don't have names for we see yellow, but it's a totally differsent color!!

For moths, the term "love is in the air" is something to be taken literally. The furry insects can detect chemical love signals emitted by the opposite sex from up to seven-miles away. If we had that kind of sense we'd be horny 24-7-365!!

Rats don't see very well but they use their whiskers in the same way that blind people use canes.

Sharks have special cells in their brains that are sensitive to the electrical fields other creatures generate. Amazing!!

A snake sniffs its surroundings by flicking its forked tongue.

Migratory birds use Earths magnetic field to stay their course during long flights. Scientists still aren't sure how they do it, but some studies suggest that they "see" the planet's magnetic lines as patterns of color or light that is overlaid on their visual surroundings. Cool!!
