Scuba Diving could be dangerous

admin — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:48:53 +0000

On land I think I can run pretty quick and if I am in my car I know I am good to go, but underwater I just believe man easting killer sharks just have the edge. Now I would like to scuba dive, but I think I would have to do it in a tank or pretty colorful fish that just like to hang out and drink beer. So you find me a beer drinking colorful fish in a confined space let me know.

Baby animlas are just cute

Sometimes you need a break from all the cleavage and toosh. When those five minutes of your day strike why not show that you have a heart and appreciate how cute baby animals. Now these animals are more or less safe, but give them some time and they will have the ability to maul you to death and that is a whole new topic to cover.

Safari up close and personal

admin — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:37:25 +0000

I am all about enjoying the beauty around us and if I had the money to travel the globe in style I would. However, even if I could I don’t think i would want to get quite this up close and personal with wild animals. Obviously they seem very used to people driving through their habitat and probably giving them food, but how fast would it take any one of these animals to snap you in half? I have a HD television and Planet Earth on Bluray so I am all good.

Toaster Nintendo can’t make toast

Some people look at old gaming systems as relics, while other see them as a historic keepsake. Those of us that treasure them as part of our youth always hate to see those games go, but new systems come out and what are you supposed to do? Well if you are handy with wiring and not afraid to burn some things why not take an old system and give it a unique update. The Nintendo was the must have gaming console that took the Atari 2600 and made it look like garbage. Well how about a Nintendo Toaster to compete with the your XBOX 360, PS3, and Wii?

Stop Motion Photography

Really cool stop motion photography shows you the phases of some impressive stunts and moments. I was unable to find out about who took these images so if you know please drop me a line. I had some stop motion images of me trying to dunk, but when I developed them it just looks like me standing on the ground. Guess the ups aren’t what they used to be.

What the real crisis is

admin — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:34:49 +0000

The crisis in Zimbabwe began in 2000, after President Mugabe took the land from whites and gave them black.
Immediately the entire agricultural sector was broken, the sanctions were imposed against the country and the inflation started to grow.
This year, inflation stood at a record 231 million percent a year.
You understand the number? 231 000 000% a year. Unemployment - 80%, a one third of the population left the country

Now let’s look at this pictures…

Here is a boy beggar in December last year. Got banknotes of 200 000 Zimbabwean dollars.

Little millionaire. One such bill - is about 10 cents. Official rate several times higher, but nobody use it.

On the 22 December the banknote 50 000 Zimbabwean dollars appeared

Then 750 000 appeared...

In the middle of December - 10 000 000 Zimbabwean dollars

Now its February. Begged now get huge packs of 200 000 dollar bills...

April... 50 000 000 dollar banknote appeared.

May, inflation grows. 250 000 000 dollar banknote appeared

A house is full of money. Looks good, but it worth nothing...

To save the day, government issued new money, cutting 10 zeroes from old.

But this actions didn't stop inflation, very soon 20 000 appeared...

And now the real face of the crisis:

Zimbabwe - the only country in the world where the largest banknote - 50 000, but a roll of cheap toilet paper is worth 100 000.
If you take 100 000 to change them for the smallest banknotes, worth 5 Zimbabwe dollars, you will receive 20 000 banknotes. In rolls of toilet paper - 72 pieces.
It turns out that in Zimbabwe it is 278 times cheaper to use the money instead of toilet paper than buying this very paper.
Moreover, the cheapest toilet paper in Zimbabwe is such unpleasant as these bills.

Here is a real crisis.

Sculptures from paper by Patty and Allen Eckman

admin — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:47:59 +0000

Unique works Patty and Allen Eckman. Do not be confused with a papier-mache - this is totally different things. The artists first mix acid-free pulp, use of raw cotton, it is determined to form a vacuum or compressed in the hands. This excess moisture is gradually removed, but the drying process is very long. When the mask is removed from the form, then begin the process of fine-tuning, the most subtle. Some parts are removed, some added, so is very thin the details. This is a very long process that sometimes takes months of work. What it is like the process of casting bronze. Finished product - a white, very light and with a lot of finest details
