6.This really is a great contender for the worst program ever created. In 1995, Microsoft released “Bob”; a big smiley face wearing glasses intended to replace Windows 3.1 and Windows 95’s desktop with a more user-friendly interface.

7.Pay-toilets were abolished in America in the mid 1970s, but surprisingly New York had its first pay-toilet in 2008. It granted you 15 minutes of privacy for 25 cents; that’s 24 dollars a day.

8.Some say that Dean Kamen, the inventor of Segway, has done something for America what Henry Ford did in 1903. But seriously, riding a Segway always looks nerdy, in a bad way and it never brought the revolution in transportation that it promised.

9.Spam e-mails cost businesses $100 billion in 2007! Spam e-mails inflict substantial damage to the ISPs and the ISPs have filed various lawsuits against spammers again and again, only to win and never recover damages. So, spam is our number 1 worst invention ever.

10.Although, leaded gasoline was phased out in 1968, but for nearly 60 years the dangers of the element lead were ignored by the oil companies.

Maybach Exelero - Expensive Car In The World

2012-03-29T08:29:00.009-07:00

The German car manufacturer Maybach, was first introduced Maybach Exelero in 2005. With a top speed of 351 km/hr, this is said to be the fastest two-seater car in the world. The Price of this luxury car is at a whopping $8,000,000 USD. To buy these car you have to be extraordinarily wealthy. If you just happen to win the lottery over and over and think that you can finally lay your hands on a Maybach, I’d suggest you spend that money in acquiring a vacation home in at least three continents along with a Mercedes S-class sedan to accessorize each home. But, if you happen to be P. Diddy, then nothing should stop you from buying this insanely expensive beauty for your 16 year old son’s birthday! However, you do not need to have any money to enjoy these beautiful photos of the Maybach Exelero and I’d suggest a good nap after to drive this dream car.

Andrey Pavlov a well known Photographer used a macro lens to cover personal lives of ants.The ants ar real and it is shot by Andrey while doin’ their thang and it is 100% real but not like reality shows. Reality shows are staged, but are not real people because they do things on producer’s suggestion that said producer thinks would be humorous/interesting/cheering but usually ends up being disappointing/enraging/making me wonder why I still like all these idiotic reality shows. The ants in these pictures are showing the real effort and art of their life .

10 Most Unbelievable Daredevil Rope Walker

2011-12-20T10:08:00.000-08:00

An extreme tightrope failed his attempt to walk along a one-inch thick ribbon suspended 500ft above Cheddar Gorge when he lost his footing. Jon Ritson, a leading sportsman in the field of slacklining was saved by his harness and spent three hours trying to finish the 95ft walk. He set off along the 95ft long slackline but lost his balance and tumbled through the air. After three hours of further attempts, he reached "a physical block" and decided to call it a day.

A priest performed a dangerous tight-rope stunt with no safety equipment 80ft above ground after a last minute hitch in plans for his charity fundraiser. Father Jerome Lloyd was supposed to be carried along the rope on the back of a circus performer in scenes reminiscent of Frenchman Charles Blondin in 1859. Blondin made it across a high-wire suspended 160ft above the Niagara Falls with his manager on his back.

Unfortunately, Father Lloyd's stunt had to be adapted at the last minute after professional tight-rope walker Chico Marinhos was unable to lift the 12.5st priest. Father Lloyd, 43, a missionary priest from the National Catholic Apostolic Church, carried out the stunt wearing his traditional soutane and saturno.

He was raising money for the Sussex Beacon charity, which provides specialist care and support for people living with HIV.

Dean Potter's solo walk at Taft Point in Yosemite by Photographer Jeff Cunningham.

Frenchman Philippe Petit stunned the world in 1974 when he strung a cable across New York City's twin towers and walked across.

Crossing a 100ft drop without any safety equipment would make most normal people more than a little anxious. But you might say tight-rope walker Andy Lewis takes the high-risk dardevil stunt all in his stride.

Not satisfied that his high-wire act – a 45ft crossing of a 100ft deep ravine over an area called the Flat Sands in California – was risky enough, at one point he even strikes a pose on the line balancing on his ankles.

One slip and he would plummet 10,000ft to the ground below. Yet Freddy Nock took his most hair-raising stunt nonchalantly in his stride. These stunning images show 45-year-old Freddy Nock completing his latest feat - walking more than 5,200 feet down a mountain cable car wire - without a safety net or a harness in the Swiss mountains. Using only a balancing stick, he walked down the wire of a cable car line on Mount Corvatsch - which is 9,908 feet above sea level.

In October 2010, World-famous tight rope walker Mustafa Danger failed in his World Guinness Record attempt at crossing a steel cable hanging from the Great Bali Hotel to the Monte Tossal overlooking Benidorm's Poniente beach. The motorcycle tightrope attempt failed only a few meters short of the hotel after he had travelled more than one kilometer in distance and at a height of 186 meters. Mustafa and his assistant were eventually pulled to safety.

Yes, that's a bear driving a motorcycle on a tight rope with a guy hitching a ride beneath him. (Yangshuo Bear Zoo).

Daredevil Olivier Roustan performs the highest ever tight rope walk in Europe and crosses the 250ft high rope over the River Usk in Newport, South Wales.

Ceremonial Act Of Brutality And Blood

2011-07-12T07:53:00.001-07:00

Dolphin is my favorite animal. Free, sociable and incredibly intelligent. However, there are civilizations that appear to think that dolphins are too much, and use them in their ritual purposes. Is the red sea of dolphins blood reality or a dream? Real photo or photo-montage? It would be good if only this could photo-montage…

Each year the sea around Faroe Islands (constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark, along with Denmark proper and Greenland), is stained red, not because of the effects of the climate or through a Biblical plague but because of the cruelty of supposedly human beings. Hundreds of the famous Calderon dolphins are slaughtered by young teens in a celebration to demonstrate their maturity and passage into adulthood. In this celebration those who not actively participating in the slaughter are watching. They don’t die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hooks. With each cut the dolphins produce a grim cry like that of a new born child.

I can not stand and not to ask a question, is it possible that in this way someone shows the maturity? Does the brutal and unnecessary killing hundreds of dolphins shows wisdom? For me this is just confirmation of facts that comparison people with animals is insulting – for animals, of course!

Photoshopped Santa Claus Vintage Illusion

2011-03-20T03:35:00.000-07:00

Just few minutes ago I’ve added new illusory paintings by Andre Martins De Barros to our Facebook channel (along with few other illusions I thought were too subtle/weak for our homepage). You be the judge. Please don’t forget to “like” our FB group (you can do it via the sidebar facebook box) if you want to receive all those 2nd grade illusions that go straight to our channel.
Concerning what I have prepared for you today, I might be a bit late, but good stuff should always be good stuff! As you see, what might appear as obviously photoshopped photo at first, can in reality turn out to be quite opposite! Again, you be the judge, but know that there is a hidden clue that exposes the illusion, one that can be seen in the second photo. Only hint I can give you is to concentrate on the limbs!

Amazing 3D Chalk Drawing Illusion

2011-03-01T09:15:00.000-08:00

Who said 3D Chalk Drawings need to be drawn on pavement!? They can work just the same if you position them vertically. One such fine example is Manfred Stader’s latest work in Trehaus, Germany. It was done for a real estate company celebrating its 25th anniversary. Manfred drew the 3d construction worker, working on a concrete elevator in center of the atrium. BTW, just realized something… is the sole difference between Murals and 3D Chalk Drawings whether they’re vertical or horizontal? Are the murals (trompe l’oeils) more acknowledged as art? What do know about them?
