55ft Long Snake Found In China

55ft Long Snake Found In China

A photograph purporting to show a 55ft snake found in a forest in China has become an internet sensation.

It was originally posted in a thread on the website of the People's Daily, the official Communist Party newspaper in China.

The thread claimed the snake was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road outside Guping city, Jiangxi province.

They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a huge mound of earth.

"On the third dig, the operator found there was blood amongst the soil, and with a further dig, a dying snake appeared," said the post.

"At the same time, another gold coloured giant boa appeared with its mouth wide open. The driver was paralysed with fear, while the other workers ran for their lives.

"By the time the workers came back, the wounded boa had died, while the other snake had disappeared. The bulldozer operator was so sick that he couldn't even stand up."

The post claimed that the digger driver was so traumatised that he suffered a heart attack on his way to hospital and later died.

The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old, according to the post.

However, local government officials in Guiping say the story and photograph are almost certainly a hoax as giant boas are not native to the area.

Incredible Fruit And Vegetable Arts

I’m a big fan of people finding inspiration in everyday things to create something interesting, so these trippy pictures of animals made from various fruits and vegetables was right up my alley. Whoever did these would have made a hell of an elementary school art teacher since these are all an improvement over making things out of popsicle sticks.

World's biggest meatball Record

noreply@blogger.com (NextGen Cars Manis) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:41:00 +0000

An American restaurant has set a new record after its chefs cooked up the world's largest meatball.

Owners of Nonni's Italian Eatery in New Hampshire created the mega-meatball, which weighed in at 222.5 pounds.

Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni's, said the giant ball of mince was authenticated as the largest on the planet after being weighed by officials from the state weights and measures department.

A Guinness Book of World Records official also confirmed it as a record breaker and presented Mr Mitnitsky with a plaque.

The old record of 198.6 pounds was set just over a month ago after Los Angeles-based talk show host Jimmy Kimmel vowed to beat a record set in Mexico. That record of 109 pounds was set in August.

A proud Mr Mitnitsky said he got involved "to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that's where it originated."

Speaking before the record attempt he told local press: "You know me. I take something small and see what I can do to make it bigger.

"This all started when we were reviewing sales from our three restaurant locations. Our meatballs came out on top at every location. So I thought, let's create a family event around the meatball."

He insisted that the meatball, which took three days to cook, would be "totally edible".

To celebrate the achievement, the restaurant held a meatball eating contests and a childrens' meatball ladle run.

worlds largest rubber band ball

noreply@blogger.com (NextGen Cars Manis) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:01:00 +0000

Record breaker Joel Waul will find his driveway looks rather empty this morning.

For the giant rubber band ball he spent six years creating is no longer there.

It's a record: The rubber band ball has been sold for an undisclosed fee

The 28-year-old waved off his 6ft 7in masterpiece yesterday as a crane hauled its 9,032lb bulk from his home in Lauderhill, Florida, to a museum, having sold it for an undisclosed sum.

Mr Waul's creation was declared the world's largest rubber band ball by the Guinness Book of World Records last year.

He got the idea six years ago when he saw a television programme that showed the then-largest rubber band ball being dropped into the desert from an airplane.

'I just thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen,' he said.

The ball has been bought by the Orlando-based Ripley's Believe It of Not museums.

Edward Meyer, vice president of Ripley's said: 'We already have the largest string and barbed-wire balls. This is now my holy trinity, I guess.'

The ball has been purchased by Ripley's Believe It or Not museum

The former record holder was Steven Milton of Eugene, Oregon, who created a 4,600lb ball using over 175,000 rubber bands. It was recorded as the world's largest in November 2006 in Chicago.

Milton broke the previous record set by John Bain in 1999, whose ball weighed 3,120lb.

Worlds Largest And Loneliest Mall China

noreply@blogger.com (NextGen Cars Manis) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:11:00 +0000

It was trumpeted as the world's largest retail mall, with shoppers able to browse through 1,500 stores, take a stroll along a mock Venetian canal or even have lunch in front of an 85ft replica of the Arc de Triomphe.

But the New South China Mall, which opened in 2005, stands empty with 99 per cent of its shops having remained unleased and attractions including a 553-metre indoor and outdoor roller coaster standing idle.

It was designed to attract an average of more than 70,000 visitors a day to the city of Dongguan, but has less than a dozen shops in its 9.6million sq ft of floor space.

Abandoned: The New South China Mall is the largest in the world, with space for 1,500 stores, but has less than 12 shops

Just before it opened the mall, which is located in China's southern Pearl River Delta, it was heralded by the New York Times as part of 'China's astonishing new consumer culture'.

The mall's developer, Hu Guirong, sent a team travelling around the world for two years in search of ideas.

It features seven zones modelled on different parts of the world, including a replica of the bell tower of St Mark's Square in Venice, as well and area dedicated to downtown San Francisco.

Eerie: Shop workers walk underneath a 550m rollercoaster in the deserted amusement centre

Vast: A man on a tricycle passes a Russian-styled triumphal arch at the 9.6million sq ft shopping centre

Attraction: A bored attendant makes a phone call next to the ghost train ride at the mall

David Hand, a retail analyst at Jones LaSalle in Beijing, said: 'They set out to the be the biggest, and hoped that being the biggest would be the attracting factor.

'It hasn't delivered.

'The Chinese love shopping, they love brands, and they love international products, even though the average income is low.

'New shoppers are born everyday. We won't run out of them.'

Run down: The mall sign stands unlit and, right, an abandoned gondola on the mock Venetian canal

Continental: The mall also features a Venetian canal, replica of the Arc de Triomphe, downtown San Francisco and themes from Las Vegas

China has been hit hard by the global recession, and the city of Dongguan is known for its popularity with low-paid factory workers.

The only occupied areas of the mall are near the entrance, where several Western fast food chains sell burgers next to an abandoned go-kart track.

Dick Groves, a retail consultant based in Hong Kong, said the failure of the New South China Mall was down to inexperience in leasing business and an undisciplined financial system.

'When it's easy to get financing without having to convince someone of the project's feasability, and without having to show pre-leasing commitment, you can start to get into trouble,' he told The National.

Failure: Only Western fast food restuarants have survived at the mall's entrance

Fun fair: A family look at a pirate ship ride in the mall's amusement centre, which does attract some visitors

Around 500 new malls have been built in China over the last five years.

All of them are said to be waiting for the arrival of the middle class, with China the largest growing economy in the world before the recent global

Youtube Office in San Bruno California

noreply@blogger.com (NextGen Cars Manis) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Youtube Office in San Bruno California

YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload and share videos. Three former PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005. In November 2006, YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google.

The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, the BBC, UMG and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.

Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users over the age of 18. The uploading of videos containing defamation, pornography, copyright violations, and material encouraging criminal conduct is prohibited by YouTube's terms of service. Accounts of registered users are called "channels".

YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal. Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, while Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

According to a story that has often been repeated in the media, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen developed the idea for YouTube during the early months of 2005, after they had experienced difficulty sharing videos that had been shot at a dinner party at Chen's apartment in San Francisco. Jawed Karim did not attend the party and denied that it had occurred, and Chad Hurley commented that the idea that YouTube was founded after a dinner party "was probably very strengthened by marketing ideas around creating a story that was very digestible."

YouTube began as a venture-funded technology startup, primarily from a US$11.5 million investment by Sequoia Capital between November 2005 and April 2006. YouTube's early headquarters were situated above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California. The domain name www.youtube.com was activated on February 15, 2005, and the website was developed over the subsequent months. The first YouTube video was entitled Me at the zoo, and shows founder Jawed Karim at San Diego Zoo. The video was uploaded on April 23, 2005, and can still be viewed on the site.

YouTube offered the public a beta test of the site in May 2005, six months before the official launch in November 2005. The site grew rapidly, and in July 2006 the company announced that more than 65,000 new videos were being uploaded every day, and that the site was receiving 100 million video views per day. According to data published by market research company comScore, YouTube is the dominant provider of online video in the United States, with a market share of around 43 percent and more than six billion videos viewed in January 2009. It is estimated that 20 hours of new videos are uploaded to the site every minute, and that around three quarters of the material comes from outside the United States. It is also estimated that in 2007 YouTube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet in 2000. In March 2008, YouTube's bandwidth costs were estimated at approximately US$1 million a day. Alexa ranks YouTube as the fourth most visited website on the Internet, behind Google, Yahoo! and Facebook.

The choice of the name www.youtube.com led to problems for a similarly named website, www.utube.com. The owner of the site, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment, filed a lawsuit against YouTube in November 2006 after being overloaded on a regular basis by people looking for YouTube. Universal Tube has since changed the name of its website to www.utubeonline.com.

In October 2006, Google Inc. announced that it had acquired YouTube for US$1.65 billion in Google stock, and the deal was finalized on November 13, 2006. Google does not provide detailed figures for YouTube's running costs, and YouTube's revenues in 2007 were noted as "not material" in a regulatory filing. In June 2008 a Forbes magazine article projected the 2008 revenue at US$200 million, noting progress in advertising sales.

In November 2008, YouTube reached an agreement with MGM, Lions Gate Entertainment and CBS which will allow the companies to post full-length films and television shows on the site, accompanied by advertisements. The move is intended to create competition with websites such as Hulu, which features material from NBC, Fox, and Disney.

Unbelievable Glittering Golden Objects

noreply@blogger.com (NextGen Cars Manis) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Unbelievable Glittering Golden Objects

On our travels, and in the places we live, we’ve seen golden statues adorn many public buildings and monuments; we’ve heard of the gigantic golden Buddhas in Asia and the bustling golden souks of the Middle East. Bling is everywhere, in many forms, but seldom do we take much note the ostentatious metal. Maybe it’s because we’re so used to seeing it and having it that we’ve grown oblivious to it as a commodity. This spangly yellow metal is hot stuff right now, and if you’ve got some spare cash to invest, you should be looking into buying a share or two of gold.

But, if you’re like most of us, and the only thing you can invest in at the moment is a gold plated napkin ring, then why not spend some of your free minutes, but no less precious, feasting your eyes on these bizarre golden nuggets.

1. Turkmenbashi the Golden

If you haven’t already heard of him, you’ll love the audacity of the egotistical, gold-loving ex-President of Turkemistan, Saparmurat Niyazov. The man was a hoot. Serving from 1990 until his death in 2006, Niyazov so loved himself that he had gold statues erected in various spots around the capital city, Ashgabat, changed his name to Türkmenbaşy (Turkmenbashi), meaning Leader of Turkmens, and altered the national anthem to include various references to himself. Other strange decrees saw the days of the week and months changed to famous Turkmen poets and heroes names, doctors swearing on oath to the President in place of the Hippocratic Oath and pensioners having their pensions stopped with orders to pay back the previous two years to the state. Needless to say Niyazov’s successor had his work cut out for him when he took up office.

2. Naked Gold Men

In August this year, unauthorized, life-sized golden sculptures of anatomically correct men were abandoned in Seattle’s Gas Works Park. Made from papier-mache and covered in gold in certain parts, the men appear to be hiding in sleeping bags or emerging from cocoons. Nearby, a plaque read: “Anew is gifted to the citizens of Seattle in the spirit of awakening. Each of us has shells to break through, parameters to look past, and wills to exercise. Arise and stand. And then start Moving. If still here, I will remove these once the rains return.” In good spirit, the Seattle Parks Department let the free art installation be for a few days as the public had given them so much positive feedback.

3. Golden Throne

Talk about spending a penny… you’ll need a few extra bob if you want to use this golden throne. Put on show by Hong Kong jewellery company Hang Fung Hold Technology, the 24 karat, handcrafted loo is part of a display of golden artefacts, which weigh in at a total of one tonne altogether. With the climbing price of gold it’s thought the company will now melt down the contents of the Hall of Gold – worth about $32 million – to finance their expansion plans. Although, because the golden lavatory has been such a hit with the tourists, there’s talk it just might escape a sticky end.

4. Golden Moss

Although recently Kate Moss has been snapped in some less then appealing positions, this view of her has got to be the most bizarre. Created by British artist Marc Quinn, the contorted, life-size, solid gold figure is entitled Siren, and is about trying to live up to impossible dreams or immortality. The golden Kate is reportedly the largest solid gold statue made since the days of Ancient Egypt and is worth a whopping $2.7 million.

5. Gold Pills

Now here’s something for those people who are truly too rich to notice, and too stupid to realise when they’ve been had. Filled with tiny 24 karat dollar-shaped gold pieces, these gold-dipped pills are worth $425 each and were created with the intention that the owner ingests them “to increase their self-worth”. Not only are they a waste of money, they also have the added benefit of making waste sparkle – your own waste! Nice.

6. Leica in Gold

As early as the 1930s, gold clad Leica cameras were being manufactured for those with enough money to buy whatever they wanted. Over the years a number of fake gold Leicas were produced, mainly by the Soviets. The fake gold colour was created by using either polished brass or a gold wash solution. Animal skin was also used to allure the more discerning gold buyer into thinking it was a unique, limited edition Leica. The images here show a rare edition of the Leica R4 with Summilkux 50 and one that’s on display for Leica enthusiasts, in Michael’s Camera Museum, Melbourne, Australia.

7. Golden Etui

We think that people spoil themselves in this day and age, but take a leap back to the mid 1700s and have a look at what the ladies needed for their grooming way back when. This very rare etui dates around 1750 and is a perfect example of the French Rococo style of the time, with elaborate designs including charioteers and exotic birds. Replete with antique scissors, tweezers, nail file and pencil holder, it can be yours for a snip at $10,300.

8. Golfing Gold

You know golfers get way too much money when they can have vaults of gold clubs to add to their assests. Although, this vault doesn’t belong to any one golfer. In the 1970s, golf club maker Karsten Solheim wanted to devise a novel way to thank golfers for using his clubs during a tournament, So, he had two gold-plated replicas of the winning putter made and engraved with the golfers name – one he would give to the victor, the other he would keep at the company’s HQ in Phoenix, Arizona. The gold putt collection has since become a popular visitor’s attraction.

9. Stolen Golden Artefact

In May 2008, the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology were offering a $50,000 reward for the safe return of one of their precious gold artefacts. One of 15 objects stolen from the Museum was a decorative box made in 1967 by artist Bill Reid, famous for his works based on the Haida creation myth. The highly detailed and finely sculpted box is made entirely of gold and is one of the many pieces in the collection that was of significant cultural value. All but two of the stolen works were eventually recovered and security has since been stepped up at the Museum.

10. Golden Sculpture

Entitled Valiant Struggle, this arresting gold painted statue is part of an installation in Millennium Park, Chicago by Chinese artist, Chen Wenling. His large-scale sculptures are often strange looking, frequently consisting of happy, self-indulgent human and animal figures, often depicted as embracing. One of Chen’s signature images, the pig, is inspired by the folk art of his birthplace Fujian and although seen as a symbol of wealth locally he uses the pig in his art to represent contemporary Chinese society, while the human figures seem to be absorbed by the delights of material possession.

11. Gold Mountain

OK, so it’s not made of gold in the true sense of the word, but it does hold a heck of a lot of it. This amazing image is of Round Mountain Gold Mine in Big Smoke Valley Nevada. Operating since 1906, the open pit mine is about 2,500 metres long and 1,500 metres wide, and as of 2006 has produced over 10 million ounces of gold. That’s a lot of toilets.
