Reasons Why North Korea Is The Most Bizarre Nation On Earth

2011-07-29T22:35:00.000-07:00

Is the United States about to go to war with the most bizarre nation on earth? A lot of Americans would actually welcome “the Korean War Part 2″, but before people get too excited it is important to keep in mind that we have never been at war with a nation that actually possesses nuclear weapons. At this point it is unclear exactly how powerful North Korea’s nuclear weapons are, but nearly everyone does agree that they are crazy enough to use them. North Korea reportedly has thousands of missile batteries that are capable to hitting the 10 million people that live in Seoul. The death and devastation that an all-out strike on Seoul could potentially cause is almost unimaginable. In fact, the 24.5 million people living either in or around Seoul make it the second largest metropolitan area in the world. The next conflict on the Korean peninsula will be extremely bloody. Nobody should be wishing for that.

Unfortunately, the next Korean war seems closer than ever. Tensions on the peninsula are at a record high. Today, North Korea has one of the largest armies in the world. Some reports claim that they have over 1 million soldiers on active duty. But South Korea is highly militarized as well, and there are 28,000 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea that the North Koreans would have to contend with.

Right now the rest of the world is getting quite nervous, because a war between nuclear powers could get out of hand very quickly. If North Korea hits South Korea with nuclear weapons, it seems almost certain that the U.S. would hit North Korea with nukes. The death and destruction that would result would be unprecedented.

So what does China think about all of this? Well, North Korea would not be acting so belligerent right now if they did not have permission from China. Perhaps China is trying to send a message to the West.

On the other hand, there are others that believe that it could go a lot deeper than that. The regime in North Korea is on the verge of collapsing in on itself. Even the Chinese are getting tired of propping up their government and dealing with their nonsense. The truth is that a new Korean war could benefit the Chinese in several ways.

First of all, South Korea (the biggest U.S. ally in the region) would be absolutely devastated even if they “won” the war. That would cripple an incredibly important geopolitical chess piece.

Secondly, the U.S. would be embroiled in yet another costly conflict and would undoubtedly suffer some costly losses as well. The opinion of the rest of the world toward the United States would darken even more – especially if nuclear weapons were used.

Thirdly, China could gain a ton of “leverage” by stabbing North Korea in the back after the conflict had started. In return for supporting the U.S./South Korean coalition, China could ask for all kinds of things that they wouldn’t even dream of getting right now. In fact, it is not unthinkable to imagine China walking away with a significant chunk of North Korea in the aftermath of the war. The Chinese government is regularly involved in “border disputes” (just Google it), and China would never pass up a chance to pick up a big slice of new territory.

In the end, the “winner” of any new war on the Korean peninsula would probably be China. The U.S. would get rid of the “North Korean problem”, but it would come at a great cost. It is hard to imagine any scenario that would end up greatly benefiting the United States.

Let us hope that a new all-out Korean war does not erupt. North Korea is ruled by delusional leaders who are insane enough to actually use nuclear weapons. If you doubt this, just consider the following 11 facts….

#1 The first “Great Leader” of North Korea, Kim Il-Sung, is deeply revered in North Korea. In fact, there are over 500 statues of Kim Il-sung scattered throughout the country. Many Koreans apparently believe that Kim Il-Sung actually created the world.

#2 It is said that hanging up pictures of Kim Il-Sung is compulsory for every household in North Korea.

#3 Millions of North Korean citizens have literally starved to death over the past 10 years.

#4 The North Korean constitution actually guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

#5 It has been reported that during times of extreme hunger in North Korea, cannibalism is quite common. Several years ago the Washington Post shared what one 29-year-old female defector told them about what is going on inside the country….

“When one is very hungry, one can go crazy. One woman in my town killed her 7-month-old baby, and ate the baby with another woman.”

The sad thing is that the 29-year-old female defector didn’t even consider what she had seen to be wrong….

“I can’t condemn cannibalism. Not that I wanted to eat human meat, but we were so hungry. It was common that people went to a fresh grave and dug up a body to eat meat. I witnessed a woman being questioned for cannibalism. She said it tasted good.”

#6 In 1987, North Korea began construction on the Ryugyong Hotel, which would have been the tallest hotel in the world if it had been finished on schedule in 1989. Instead, construction of the bizarre 105-story skyscraper that somewhat resembles a pyramid was suspended in 1992, and the unfinished structure was just a massive concrete shell towering over Pyongyang completely empty for the next 16 years. Work began once again on the project in 2008, and it is anticipated that it will finally be completed in 2012.

#7 One of North Korea’s greatest “tourist attractions” is the Pueblo – a U.S. naval vessel that the North Koreans captured from “the imperialist Americans” back in 1968.

#8 According to North Korean media, Kim Jong-il is a phenom at just about everything. It is claimed that he shot 38 under par (including 11 holes-in-one) the first time he ever played golf.

#9 Christians are slaughtered in some of the most brutal ways imaginable in North Korea. The following is just one example…..

While Interviewee 17 was in the North Korean Army, his unit was dispatched to widen the highway between Pyongyang and the nearby port city of Nampo. They were demolishing a vacated house in Yongkang county, Yongkang district town, when in a basement between two bricks they found a Bible and a small notebook that contained 25 names, one identified as pastor, two as chon-do-sa (assistant pastors), two as elders, and 20 other names, apparently parishioners, identified by their occupations. The soldiers turned the Bible and notebook over to the local branch of Department 15 of the Korean Workers Party (KWP), but the Party officials said it was up to the military police unit, Bowisaryungbu gigwanwon, to investigate. Tracked down at their place of work through the listing of occupation in the notebook, the 25 persons were picked up without formal arrest by the military bowibu. The interviewee was not aware of any judicial procedures for those seized. In November 1996, the 25 were brought to the road construction site. Four concentric rectangular rows of spectators were assembled to watch the execution. Interviewee 17 was in the first row. The five leaders to be executed – the pastor, two assistant pastors, and two elders – were bound hand and foot and made to lie down in front of a steamroller. This steamroller was a large construction vehicle imported from Japan with a heavy, huge, and wide steel roller mounted on the front to crush and level the roadway prior to pouring concrete. The other twenty persons were held just to the side. The condemned were accused of being Kiddokyo (Protestant Christian) spies and conspiring to engage in subversive activities. Nevertheless, they were told, “If you abandon religion and serve only Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, you will not be killed.” None of the five said a word. Some of the fellow parishioners assembled to watch the execution cried, screamed out, or fainted when the skulls made a popping sound as they were crushed beneath the steamroller. Interviewee 17 thought, at the time, that these church people were crazy. He thought then that religion was an “opiate,” and it was stupid for them to give up their lives for religion. He heard from the soldiers who took away the other twenty prisoners that they were being sent to a prison camp.”
10 A few years ago when China was sending humanitarian aid into North Korea the North Koreans decided that they would just start keeping the trains as well. The Chinese crews were sent back over the border on foot.

#11 A song entitled “No Motherland Without You” was written specifically for Kim Jong-il and is one of the most popular songs in North Korea. It is regularly sung by the North Korean military.

Are you convinced yet? The truth is that North Korea is very, very dangerous and they should not be underestimated. Let us hope that the United States never has to fight another war with them.

Top 9 Photos from the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final

2010-07-15T05:52:00.000-07:00

It wasn't the best match of this World Cup or one of
the greatest finals ever, but it was a fiery one, with two
fantastic goalkeepers and one fantastic Andres Iniesta, who rose
up to the occasion in the two most crucial games, scoring home
the winner for Spain in the 116th minute, handing them their
first ever World Cup trophy and complete a two year double along
with their Euro trophy from 2008. Here are the best moments
from last night -

Shades of WWE:

Howard Webb pulled out 14 yellow cards, the most ever in a
World Cup Final. One was issued here to Nigel De Jong after drop
kicking Xabi Alonso.
This should have been a red.

Arjen Robben had two fantastic one on one chances with Casillas.
The Spanish keeper came out on top twice. Robin Van Persie?
Head like to forget 2009-2010 and especially this World Cup,
despite reaching the final. One goal in seven matches was
way below expectations.

I Believe I can Fly<

Iker Casillas had a fantastic match, and a great tournament,
conceding only two goals in seven matches, shades of Italy in 2006.
Puyol didn't have the best of games last night, but that
doesn't change the fact he has a huge part in this historic

A Hero's Touch

Andres Iniesta isn't a prolific goal scorers, but he's done it
for Barcelona against Chelsea in the Champions League,
and now for Spain on the biggest stage of all, the World Cup Final.
Van der Vaart can only look.

Never Forget

Andres Iniesta celebrated his goal by pulling off his shirt and
revealing the writing Dani Jarque Siempre con nosotros
Meaning Dani Jarque, always with us. Dani Jarque played for Espanyol
and was a close friend of Iniesta. He died last year after suffering
a heart attack at the age of 26.

It's never too late to Argue:

Joris Mathijsen, down 1-0 in the final minutes of extra time,
had time to argue with Howard Webb about something. He got a card.
Webb isn't the most popular figure in Holland after yesterday,
when he did seem to slightly favor the Spanish side on the 50-50 calls.

Never Let Go:

When you win, a big one, and there's nothing bigger than last night,
you want to hold one to every moment and everything, forever.

For the First Time, World Champions:

There are Losers, Too:

Wesley Sneijder had a fantastic World Cup and almost completed
a perfect year after winning the treble with Inter. Almost.
To be so close to perfection and World Cup glory is nothing less
than heartbreaking.

Psychic Octopus Predicting FIFA Fotball Matches Results

2010-07-12T05:17:00.000-07:00

An Octopus in Germany is stunning soccer fans around the world with his remarkable ability to predict the outcome of German World Cup games. Paul, a mollusk in Oberhausen, has correctly picked the result of all three German games so far. Most recently, the savvy octopus foresaw that Germany would edge Ghana to advance to the tournament's knockout stage, according to Sky News.

The prized prophet informs humans of his prediction by choosing between two boxes, each containing a delicious snack and decorated with a World Cup country's flag. Paul correctly picked Germany to conquer Australia in their first game, and he even called Serbia's shocking upset against the Germans.

The sea-bound seer faces a unique challenge for his next selection. Paul was born in England, and thus has deep allegiances to each team. It may never be known which team Paul will be rooting for, but he will predict a winner on Friday.

Scroll down for photos of Paul prognosticating.

He picked Spain over Germany in the semi-final.

Paul, from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen, chose a mussel from a jar with the Spanish flag instead of one with a German flag.

The two-year-old cephalopod has become a national celebrity.

Beautiful Paintings of a Blind Artist

2010-07-10T23:41:00.001-07:00

The story of this blind artist is extraordinary and unbelievable. Professional CPA with a photographic memory, Lisa Fittipaldi lost her vision due to a vascular disease in 1993. She lost her job too, but overcame blindness and began painting in 1995. Her paintings are so colorful and bright; it’s hard to believe that they were drawn by a blind person who can’t even see colors or distance. The main challenge to Lisa was when she was told she could never create complex scenes of everyday life with people as main characters. But she managed to do so, and today her paintings are exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Fittipaldi is a unique artist with an amazing inner vision. You can judge for yourself after the jump.

Dead Whale Exploded on Beach, The Netherlands

2010-07-06T03:28:00.000-07:00

On July 10th, 2008, a 18 metres long life size sculpture of a sperm whale made from wood, aluminium and polyester lies on the beach of Scheveningenis. This gigantic state of the art was made by artist Zephyr (alias of Dirk Claesen) and is meant to promote the collection of the museum Muzee Scheveningen.

The sperm whale (Physeter Catodon) is the largest of all toothed whales, making them the Earth’s largest living carnivore and largest living toothed animal. The whale was named after the milky-white waxy substance, spermaceti, found in its head and originally mistaken for sperm

Japanese Neon Lamp Fights

2010-07-06T03:10:00.000-07:00

You have to hand it to the Japanese, they know violence sells and they market it like no other country can.

But this has to be the dumbest sport in history, two fat guys pounding each other with neon-rods until they’re both soaked in blood? I have no idea what this sport is called or who came up with the idea, but apparently it’s very popular in the Land of the Rising Sun, despite it’s obvious stupidity. I’d rather watch some K1 or UFC any day, this is just like wrestling only with real blood.

I wonder if those lamps are mercury free…if they’re not, do the fat guys know they could die from mercury poisoning?

Grimpoteuthis New Species Found

2010-07-06T03:02:00.000-07:00

The new species Grimpoteuthis found in the Atlantis Ocean. It is octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are also known as “Dumbo octopuses” from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their head-like bodies, resembling the ears of Walt Disney’s flying elephant. They are bathyal creatures, living at extreme depths: 3000-4000 meters, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species. They can flush the transparent layer of their skin at will, and are pelagic animals, as with all other cirrate octopuses. Let’s check it out…
They hover above the sea floor, searching for worms, bivalves, pelagic copepods, and other crustaceans. They move by pulsing their arms, shooting water through their funnel, or by waving their ear-like fins.
They can use each of these techniques separately or all simultaneously. The males and females are different in their size and sucker patterns. The females lay eggs consistently, with no distinct breeding season.

Natures Amazing Colors - What Blue Means

2010-07-04T00:35:00.000-07:00

Our perceptions of colors affect and influence us on scores of levels” sub-consciously, emotionally, mentally,
and even in symbolism. In part 2 of our series on what colors mean to us, we cover blue, the color of our broad
open skies and magnificent seas.

The Soothing Color

As the color of our sky and oceans in nature, blue is one of our most favorite colors. It causes the opposite reaction
as red, being the essence peacefulness, tranquility, and calmness.

Blue is often associated with depth and stability. It can mean relaxation, sadness, peace, and solitude, and
symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness, while dark blue represents
knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.

The color is considered beneficial to the mind and body it slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect.
In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.

Blue can also be cold and depressing, but studies have shown that people are more productive in blue rooms.

Using Blue

Blue is frequently used to promote products and services related to cleanliness and purity cleaning liquids and
water purification filters air and sky for airlines, airports, and air conditioners, or water and sea such as bottled
waters and ocean voyages.

As opposed to emotionally warm colors like red, orange, and yellow; blue is linked to consciousness and intellect.
Use blue to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products.

Blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it’s often used in bedrooms.

Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability, so it’s a preferred color for corporate America.

Colors that are traditionally considered masculine colors or that appeal most strongly to a rare more closely
associated with men can be good choices for marketing messages, Web sites, and interior designs targeting men.

Avoid using blue when promoting food and cooking, because it suppresses the appetite.

When used together with warm colors like yellow or red, blue can create high-impact, vibrant designs, such as a
blue-yellow- red color scheme for a superhero.

Blue is commonly used on Internet browsers to color a link that has not been clicked on, changing to yellow, orange,
or purple when it has been.

Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty.

Weightlifters do their best in blue gyms, as studies have shown they’re are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.

degraded the local environment, destroying vegetation and helping to create soil erosion. The zinc smelters are
no longer in operation €” the area is now the site of an ambitious Superfund project, and the vegetation and
soil are recovering.

Animals

When animal’s coat is described as blue, it usually refers to a shade of grey that takes on a bluish tint, a diluted
variant of a pure black coat. The description is used for a variety of animals, including dog coats, some rat coats,
cat coats, some chicken breeds, and some horse coat colors.

Relations in Food

Although blue is one of the most popular colors, it’s one of the least appetizing. Studies reveal that it slows
human metabolism and suppresses the appetite.

Blue berries

Food researchers say that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects,
which were often blue, black, or purple.

Blue food is rare in nature, with the most notable being blueberries.

In Costa Rica, it’s said when you can see a ring around the moon at night, called aœluna de agua, it foretells
3 to 4 straight days of slow but steady rain, called a œtemporala.

Differences Between the Sexes

Blue is a masculine color, traditionally used for boys. According to studies, blue is highly accepted among
males. However, there are no hard-setrules about what colors are masculine, feminine or gender-neutral.

Blue is a favorite color for both men and women, but males have a much stronger preference for blue than
women. It may be the calming effect that makes it a popular color for both sexes, or it could be the
association of some shades of blue with authority figures, intelligence, and stability.

In a 1964 Color and Gender report, women favored blue-green turquoise, a mix of the 2 cool colors of blue
and green more than men. This same study found that €œ76% of women preferred cool colors.

Male top 3 favorite colors: Blue, Green, and Black (2 cool and one neutral color)

Female top 3 favorite colors: Blue, Green, and Purple (all cool colors)

Studies have found that that blue was favored overwhelmingly by men and women on the Web.

Color research done over the years indicates that the favorite colors of men and women do differ, some of
which may be attributed to cultural use of color and conditioning.

Color research done over the years indicates that the favorite colors of men and women do differ, some of

Since colors come in many tints and shades, one might love a rich, royal blue but strongly dislike a pale
sky blue, so a preference for the color blue doesn’t mean that every shade of blue is universally appealing.

Feng Shui

In feng shui, we associate blue with the clear sky and healing, refreshing waters. Blue belongs to the feng shui
Water element of North. A harmonious feng shui Water element will bring a refreshing energy of calm, ease,
purity and freshness. Water is also the ancient symbol of abundance, hence a potent Feng Shui cure.

The color ranges from gentle aqua blue to the blue-green of the ocean, and the deep indigo blue of the crown chakra.

Gentle blue is a great feng shui choice for study, especially as a ceiling color. Several studies have shown
that children performed better under blue colored ceilings than white.

Light blue is also the feng shui color of harmonious expansion and gentle growth, while darker blue evokes the
fengshui energy of deep calm and serenity. Placing some deep blue elements into your bedroom is said to
promote better sleep.

Deep blue should be used sparingly in the feng shui areas of South, Northwest and West areas of your space,
and freely in the North, East (Health & Family) and Southeast (Wealth& Abundance).

Allegedly, one of the most calming feng shui color combinations is blue and white, as it brings the energy of
unlimited sky and happiness.

Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that someone with a blue aura
is one who is oriented toward spirituality. People with blue auras are said to be interested in social service
work and to be in occupations such as social worker, counselor, teacher, writer, and psychologist.

Planet Earth

In the metaphysics of the New Age Prophetess, Alice Bailey, in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies
humans into 7 different metaphysical psychological types, the first ray of will-power is represented by the
color blue. People who have this metaphysical psychological type are said to be on the Blue Ray.

Blue in Culture
In fashion, dark clothing for males such as dark blue business suits have become far more popular since
about 1995, as opposed to the pastel colored business suits worn in the1970’s by major leaders in
institutions such as the US Congress.

Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness. In Western civilization, those in the
upper classes in high places of political or economic power often wear dark blue suits.

In law enforcement, police normally wear dark blue, or sometimes medium blue uniforms.

2010-06-28T06:30:00.000-07:00

Millions of visitors are flocking the Italian city of Pisa from
100s of years to witness the only leaning tower in the world,
better known as "Leaning Tower of Pisa". However, this may no longer
be taken as a surprise after the end of this year as Capital Gate
is coming up in the UAE city of Abu Dhabi.

Capital Gate, owned and developed by ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National
Exhibitions Company), has been certified as the World's Furthest
Leaning Manmade Tower, by Guinness World Records.

The 160-metre, 35-storey Capital Gate tower has been built
to lean 18 degrees westwards. When fully complete by end of this year,
the tower will house the 5 Star Hyatt Capital Gate, as well as
20,000sqm of the most exclusive office space in Abu Dhabi,
the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

One more amazing fact about this tower is that it creates
an illusion as it appears straight (like any other building) from
two-sides; and appears curved or leaning from other two sides.

Bugling red deer stag, Cervus elaphus, Denmark/Klampenborg,
Copenhagenthe red deer is the most emblematic of all European animals.
It is depicted in countless cave paintings, rock carvings,
and in the coats-of-arms of noblemen, towns, regions and businesses.
It lives in many habitats from treeless moorlands to semi-desert,
but was hunted to, and in some areas over the verge of extinction.

During the 1800s and 1900s the red deer survived in many countries
only in large royal hunting grounds, like the one where this photo
was taken. It is now coming back in great numbers, thanks to
reintroductions and more sensible hunting regulations. During
the fall mating season, also known as the rut, the red deer stags
use a brawling call to advertise their territory and
attract the females.

Dalmatian pelican Pelecanus crispus Greece /Lake Kerkini , Macedoniaat
16 kilos and with a 3 metre wing span, the Dalmatian pelican is,
together with the great bustard and the mute swan, a competitor
for the title �The World's Heaviest Flying Bird�. All three species
live in Europe. The Dalmatian pelican has made a very successful
comeback in the last 30 years,thanks mainly to nature protection measures.
Now it is quickly becoming a very valuable nature tourism asset.
Lake Kerkini is one of the most productive fish waters in Europe,
and supports as well as a vibrant fishery industry also
tens of thousands of pairs of breeding cormorants, herons, spoonbills,
grebes and pelicans. In 2009 and financed cleanup
campaign removed decades of plastic and other garbage from the lake.
Can we make a difference? Yes, we can! Nature conservation works!

Atlantic wolf fish and shrimp Anarchias lupus and Lebbeus polaris
Norway/Saltstraumen, Bod–Many wolf fish accommodate this shrimp species
in their lair, eating tit bits from the wolf fish favourite meal
sea urchins.The wrinkled blue-grey wolf fish is a highly-prized
delicacy which grows extremely slowly and can live for decades.
This makes them very vulnerable for the targeted fishing that is
now taking place in the Atlantic. More than 80% of commercial
fish stocks in European waters are thought to be over-fished.
One third is at risk of being beyond recovery. We all need to try
to be more responsible about eating only fish that is certified by
the Marine Stewardship Council,MSC. Shouldn't maybe all fish
sold in restaurants and shops by law have to be from MSC-certified fisheries?

Bee-eater tossing a bumble bee Merops apiaster and Bombus sp.
Hungary /Pusztaszer protected The bee-eater is a specialist in bumble bees,
wasps, bees and other larger flying insects. One of Europe's
most colourful and exotic-looking birds, the bee-eater lives
in colonies in sand banks. That is why this species has benefited
from human construction and road building, where gravel pits
and excavation sites provide many more artificial sand banks
than untouched nature. On the other hand, widespread pesticide
use in farming reduces the numbers of large insects that
the bee-eater needs to survive. The bee-eater is a Mediterranean species
of dry and open country, spreading northwards with climate change.
Sometimes they are persecuted by bee-keepers, who are not
so enthusiastic about their choice of diet.

Northern blue fin tuna Thunnus thynnus Malta Not long ago one of
the most common fish in Europe, and the economic backbone of many
Mediterranean cultures throughout the ages, the blue fin tuna
has been the foundation of one of the world's most lucrative
commercial fisheries. After decades of severe industrial over fishing
by amongst others an over-sized European fishing fleet,
this fantastic resource is now poised on the very brink of extinction.
If that fishing isn't banned very soon, the magnificent tuna
will be gone forever. The governments of all 27 EU countries in 2010
decided to back the international ban on trade in blufin tuna.
Let us hope the world follows suit. Bluefin tuna are very large,
long-lived fish that normally gather together in huge schools.
They can reach 30 years of age and the heaviest recorded tuna to
date weighed 680 kilos. The Atlantic population of bluefin tuna
is estimated to have decreased by 97 % since the 1960s.
In recent years, the European fishing fleet has still been
taking 60,000 tons of tuna annually, in spite of a sustainable
harvest being estimated at 7,500 tons. This is a fish that we should
all immediately refrain from eating! The senseless overfishing of
the tuna is a disaster of historical proportions. That is also
why this photo had to be taken in captivity, at a tuna
breeding facility. These fish have now all been served as Sushi.

Work On Pieces Of Skin Mark Evans

2010-06-09T03:08:00.000-07:00

Mark Evans (Mark Evans) creates images by cutting them with a knife on huge chunks of skin. The author is extremely unpretentious about his skill: "There is no more primitive art than engraving skins with a large knife. I do not create something "psevdointellektualnoe" I create art. " That's it: no postmodern anguish, no children's issues. Only a man with a knife, a piece of skin art.

Biography of Mark's pretty funny. So far, his distant ancestor was a cave man, and Mark himself grew up among wolf packs in the Arctic wilderness. His body, frozen in ice, found a group of geologists. Thawed and awake, and now Evans is trying to adapt to the life of the 21 century. However, the primal instinct made themselves felt, and Mark is constantly scratching at the pieces of skin images using sharp stones, broken glass and other hard and sharp objects. But once he got into the hands of a knife.

Since the knife was the only instrument in the hands of Mark Evans. When you create an image of his blade removes the top layer of skin in the right places in order to open the suede underneath. This painstaking work involved days, weeks, months ... Slowly but surely, the image appears on the light.

Technique by which images are created, can be called unique, because Mark has invented it himself, learning everything on their own experience and mistakes, and only he has the technique - the only person in the world. The public at large of Evans became known in 2008.

World's Largest Violin

2010-06-05T21:56:00.001-07:00

World's Largest Violin.
Twelve luthiers, from Markneukirchen, eastern Germany, are working
around the clock, adding the final details to what could be the
world's largest violin. Markneukirchen is already famous for the
quality violins made there, but this extraordinary instrument will
definitely get its name into the record books.

The world's largest violin will be 4.28 meters tall, 1.45 meters wide,
and weigh over 100 kilograms. It's an exceptional achievement,
but there's just one problem: who's going to play this thing?
Even Sultan Kosen, the world's tallest man, will have a tough time
handling this giant instrument, especially since he's not
a very talented violin player.

World’s largest container ship

2010-05-15T06:30:00.000-07:00

Most people think of container ships as just ships that carry containers and nothing more. Now you don’t know how many of you have actually seen one but these beasts can be quite impressive. And the most impressive is the Emma Maersk, the biggest container transporter in the world. With a declared capacity of 11,000 TEU, the ‘Emma Maersk‘ is able to handle a significantly greater number of containers than any other ship currently in operation. It has a length of 397 metres, over 31 metres longer than the next longest container ship, the Maersk ‘G’ classes, and a width of 57 metres, 15 metres wider than any other container ship. If the containers on board were lined up end to end, they would stretch approximately 42 miles.

The vessel is longer than the height of some well-known landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, which measures 320 meters, and the Empire State Building, at 381 meters. It is four times the length of a normal football pitch.
