Do you think this world will ever be able to become completely cigarette free in the distant future? I would like to think that the younger generation, who are wiser, will know better than to get into this bad habit. Perhaps, it is possible.
Here is what happen when creativity meets public transportation.

There’s just too many amazing and beautiful aerial shots of our planet that I need to share with everyone. Similar works by Yann Arthus Bertrand. Slowly take it all in.
What’s a guy to do? So much stuff, so little space….
If you need to catch a train ride in Pakistan, you don’t have to worry that there are no seats. You can always get onboard, whether you can hold on long enough is another matter.
You might have heard or know of this term ‘Cosplay’ but do you know what it actually means? It is short for ‘Costume Play’ and it is usually a means for fans to imitate their favorite characters in many Asian type comics, novels and video games. Cosplay cultures is most prominent in Japan where thousands of fans flock together regularly to have fun dressing up as various fictional characters. Here are some ‘interesting’ cosplay girls for those who are particularly into fantasies and role-playing chicks.
Breath-taking photographs by National Geographic of the amazing nature surrounding us. Let’s hope they are still there for the next generation to enjoy.
No, this is not some celebration of masochists, though it may look like it. It is actually the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, a religious festival believed to bring blessings to all followers. The followers comprise mainly of Chinese in Phuket, Thailand, who follow a strict vegan or vegetarian diet for 10 days to gain favor with their gods and for spiritual cleansing. This is accompanied by sacred rituals at Chinese temples and shrines around the island. Stalls of vegan food are set up throughout Phuket City, and even non-vegans will be quite tempted with the sumptuous variety of vegetarian food.
Obviously the most distinct feature of this festival is the amount of ‘pain’ involved with seriously crazy and insane body piercings. And I am not just talking about needles but unthinkable objects like guns, umbrellas and saws! Not sure exactly what this is supposed to represent, but my guess is that it represents some level of self-retribution for the things they have done wrong in their lives. I have seen many crazy and painful stuff, but these pictures are probably one of the most extreme that I have seen in awhile. Careful, very graphic pictures follow.
Planet Panoramas is all about artistic distortion using a sphere. This artwork utilizes a method called Stereographic Projection to map beautiful panoramas on a sphere. What happens is quite intriguing. The area close to the point opposite to the center of projection becomes significantly enlarged and proportionally distorted, resulting in an effect known as little planet. If you don’t understand, don’t worry about it, look at these pictures of famous landmarks around the world and you should get the idea. Very cool and beautiful!

Extremely nice aerial pictures of our earth as seen from high up by photographer Yann Arthus Bertrand. Sometimes it is nice to take a step back and admire at the amazing beauty that surrounds us and that which we so easily take for granted.
We all have recently seen the amazing architecture of Dubai and their buildings. It looks like Dubai is set to take the title of World’s largest bridge with this latest concept bridge. This bridge will be a mile long and 670-feet high at its highest point. It will have a whooping 12 lanes of traffic with a metro line running down the center. It is expected to be able to carry over 4000 hours vehicles per hour and will cost a measely 817 million dollars (chump change to them at least).
Lip plates can be found used by tribes in Africa, South America and the Amazon. For some, the plate size is a measure of social or economic influence or status. But for others, the size is just a matter of how long the lip has been stretched. There are varied reasons for putting the plates, but suffice to say, these tribes see these ‘ornaments’ as beauty and status. Although I can never in my life understand why people will want to do this to themselves and consider it as a thing of beauty. An interesting documentary video is attached too.
