10 Popular Foods Named After People

The names behind our food are inspired by all sorts of places and for a variety of reasons.

Here are 10 dishes that were named after the people who created or inspired them.

Number 10. Fettuccine Alfredo. An early version of the popular pasta recipe was a simple dish of flat noodles, loads of butter, and a very generous helping of Parmesan cheese. It came from the kitchens of Ristorante Alfredo in Rome, a popular dining establishment in the early 20th century. Even today the dish remains largely unchanged, although many recipes now include fresh cream and seasonings.



Number 9. Eggs Benedict. This one has several creation stories springing from myriad kitchens throughout the world. Among the more colorful is the tale of how a chef at New York's Waldorf Astoria custom made the dish in 1894 for Lemuel Benedict, a patron wishing to nurse his hangover.

Number 8. Nachos. Despite what many believe, the American favorite is, in fact, a Mexican invention. The first batch was whipped up by a man they called Nacho. He made them one day while working at the Victory Club in Piedras Negras, which is in Mexico.

Number 7. Caesar Salad. The staple found on many Italian restaurant menus has very little to do with Italy except as its inventor's birthplace. It was created by and named after chef Caesar Cardini, who owned the Hotel Caesar, located in Tijuana, Mexico.

Number 6. Carpaccio. The dish of raw, thinly sliced beef was named by the iconic Harry's Bar in Venice in 1950 in honor of Italian Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio. He was popular in the late 15th and early 16th centuries and noted for the vivid red he used.

Number 5. Chateaubriand. The recipe, which involves some pretty serious cooking techniques, was first prepared for French writer and diplomat Vicomte François René de Chateaubriand. That was back in the early 1800s, and although the cuts used to make it have varied over the years, it remains a popular restaurant offering.

Number 4. German Chocolate Cake. The Germans are quite adept in the sweets-making department, but this cake has nothing to do with them. It's named for Sam German, maker of Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, a key ingredient in the rich dessert.

Number 3. Cobb Salad. This dish was the invention and preferred late night snack of Bob Cobb, owner of the Brown Derby in Los Angeles. Created around 1935, it eventually found its way onto the menu and soon became popular among diners everywhere.

Number 2. Bananas Foster. The flaming banana desert made its debut in 1951 at New Orleans' famous restaurant, Brennan's. The establishment's owner named it after his friend and patron, Richard Foster.

Number 1. Margherita Pizza. When Queen Margherita visited Naples, Italy in 1889, a local pizza maker created this dish in her honor. He was very purposeful in using the colors of the Italian flag to compose it.

10 Amazing Facts About Color

Colors from brilliant to beige surround us, but how much do we really know about them?

Here are 10 amazing facts about color.

Number 10. Men and women see it differently. Females are more adept at detecting slight differences between closely related hues, while males tend to see them as being the same. Women have also been shown to be better equipped linguistically when it comes to describing them.

Number 9. Blue is the world's favorite color. Survey after survey has found that typically about half of those asked say they prefer it. That's up to four times more love than the colors that end up in second place, like purple and green, get.



Number 8. The fear of colors has many names. Chromophobia and chromatophobia both describe the general disorder, while fears of many specific colors each have their own label. For example, cyanophobics are struck by feelings of terror when they see blue. Chlorophobics are afraid of greens.

Number 7. Rainbows are much more than they appear. While they look like bands of a handful of colors to us, they actually contain more hues than there are stars in the sky. It's the perception abilities of our eyes that limit the rainbow's range.

Number 6. Bulls aren't really angered by red. What they're responding to when the colored cape is flashed in front of them is the motion. Studies show they get just as worked up by the waving of flags in white and blue.

Number 5. Cats see in color. It's unclear where the belief that cats have black and white vision came from, but regardless of its origin, the information is wrong. They observe the world in color, the hues just aren't as bright as those observed by humans.

Number 4. Colorblindness is an overstatement. For nearly every person who is afflicted by it, it's only colors in a given range that are affected. Most common differentiation problems occur with red, blue and green. There are cases of a complete inability to see color, but they're quite rare.

Number 3. Yellow is noticed first. In tests involving color and peripheral vision, the sunny color was noticed 1 and a quarter times faster than even attention grabbing red. That's why school buses are yellow.

Number 2. Blue is best for gamers. A study in Japan showed that those who binged on video games in a blue environment had a more regular heartbeat than the people who played next to yellow or red walls.

Number 1. Supermarket meat is usually artificially bright red in color. About 70 percent of what people see on the shelves has been treated with carbon monoxide. It reacts with the blood and imparts a vibrant, fresh-from-the-butcher color.

Akrobacije jedne mačke na usporenom snimku

Stand by Me

Stand by Me je ime pjesme koju je prvi izveo američki pjevač i skladatelj Ben E. King. Pjesmu je i skladao Ben E. King, uz kasniju pomoć Jerry Leibera i Mike Stollera.

Prema enciklopediji History of Rock 'n' Roll, King nije namjeravao osobno izvoditi tu pjesmu kad ju je skladao.On ju je bio namijenio sastavu The Drifters, koju su je propustili snimiti. Kako je snimanje pjesme Spanish Harlem išlo jako brzo i glatko te je ostalo još puno unajmljenog i plaćenog vremena. Snimatelji i glazbeni producenti Jerry Leiber i Mike Stoller, na to su upitali Kinga, ima li još što za snimiti. Ben im je na to odsvirao na pianu Stand by Me, njima se pjesma toliko dopala, da su pozvali studijske muzičare natrag u studio na snimanje još jedne pjesme.



Kingova izvedba postala je #1 na R&B ljestvicama.Stand by Me se popela u dva različita razdoblja na američke top liste. Prvi put u izvornoj izvedbi 1961. tada se popela na #4, te drugi put 1986. kad je reizdana i bila naslovna tema istoimenog filma Stand by Me, tad se popela na #9. Bila je #1 u Velikoj Britaniji 1987. , a 1961. bila je #27.

Pjesma Stand by Me stavljena je na 121 mjesto od strane časopisa Rolling Stone na njihovoj ljestvici 500 najvećih hitova svih vremena.

"Stand By Me"

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid

Oh, I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling

Stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me

Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

All the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry

No, I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling

Stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me

Stand by me

So darling, darling

Stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand

Stand by me

World's 10 Most Bizarre Beaches

If you feel your local beach has become ho-hum, consider checking out one of these.

Here are 10 of the world's most bizarre beaches.

Number 10. Glass Beach, California. The shore of Fort Bragg was a dumping ground until the end of the 1960s. Since then, much of the glass that was tossed away has been smoothed out by the ocean and washed up on shore.

Number 9. Flying Fish Cove Beach, Christmas Island. Stop by in October or November to witness the migration of thousands of red crabs. Their annual journey across Christmas Island is large enough to shut down streets.

Number 8. Hot Water Beach, New Zealand. Below the sand, visitors will find natural mineral water that's heated to a toasty 150 degrees. Dig a hole and voila -- instant hot tub. Just make sure you get there at the beginning or end of low tide.

Number 7. Crosby Beach, England. This landscape is dotted by 100 anatomically correct cast-iron human figures, all of which look outwards to sea. The artwork is called 'Another Place' and was made by sculptor Antony Gormley.

Number 6. Cow Beach, Goa. At this waterside hotspot, the bovines can roam and frolic as they wish. Travelers don't seem the least bit phased by the potential sanitation issues the cows present, and flock to the beach in droves.

Number 5. Bowling Ball Beach, California. The attraction earned the name from its groupings of rocks that are amazingly rounded and resemble bowling balls lined up at an alley. They were formed over years of tides washing away their softer exterior layers, leaving only the hardened centers.

Number 4. 75 Mile Beach, Fraser Island. Part beach, part airplane landing strip, this Australian coastal stretch has densely packed white sand that makes it suitable for a number of uses.

Number 3. Kamilo Beach, Hawaii. Polluted and not really a desirable hangout, this section of the Big Island's coast has recently become an even sadder spectacle. It's now heavily populated with plastic rocks.

Number 2. Papakōlea Beach, Hawaii. Anybody wanting a change from white sand beaches should definitely check out the green expanse that is this Hawaiian getaway. Located far off the beaten path, the beach's unique color comes from the olivine crystals that were deposited by volcanic lava.

Number 1. Scala dei Turchi, Sicily. The white cliffs adjacent to this beach are stunning due to their unique color, but also handy. Mother Nature was thoughtful enough to carve steps into them, making climbing up and down the embankment a snap.

Za žene: Naučite da zviždite kao muškarac

Sigurno ste bar nekada poželjeli da jakim zviždukom dozovete taksi, prijatelja, konobara ili da se napravite važni usred veselja kao što to rade neki muškarci.

Kada to neko drugi uradi, izgleda veoma jednostavno, ali kada sami probate zvuk nije ni blizu onog priželjkivanog. Ukoliko ne znate da zviždite, ovo je pravi mali kurs za vas.



Potrebno je samo da spojite kažiprst i srednji prst na obje ruke, vrhove prstiju stavite u usta, a jezik savijete na pola. Usne nikako ne smiju da prekriju zube i prste. Na kraju dunite određenom jačinom i čućete zvižduk.

Morate imati stpljenja i biti uporni, ali sigurno ćete u jednom trenutku uspjeti.

Mašta može svašta: Genijalac za čas ogulio vreću krumpira

Šteta što nije riječ o tehnici za svakodnevnu kuhinjsku uporabu, no nađete li se u situaciji da uz sebe imate mladi krumpir, četku za WC i bušilicu, iskoristite rješenje

Beauty Is On The Inside: One Piece Anatomical Swimsuit

Eye-catching one-piece swimsuit shows the internal organs of a human body.

Dem Guts swimsuit designed by Australian company Black Milk Clothing.

This is the $85 Dem Guts swimsuit from Black Milk. It's a one piece women's swimsuit printed with internal organs. It's weird to think we all have those things inside of us. I've always imagined my whole torso is just filled with blood. Apparently it's not though, apparently there are other things in there. Including a heart. A withered, coal black heart. "Awww, we love you, GW." Get off my lawn or I'll shoot.

Keep going for shots from all around. She has guts in her butt!

Za nepovjerovati: Napravljen aparat koji proizvodi VEGETERIJANSKU VODU

Čista vegeterijanska voda. Ne, nije reklamni trik, već se jedna indijska kompanija potrudila pobiti sve mikroorganizme u pitkoj vodi, kako bi postala "čista" za vegeterijance.

Indijska tvrtka koja proizvodi kućanske aparate napravila je korak dalje u promoviranju vegeterijanskog načina života, uvodeći u svoje reklamne kampanje pojam "vegeterijanske vode". Možda zvuči u potpunosti apsurdno, ali ta tvrtka tvrdi da njihov pročistač za vodu Prestige LifeStraw daje samo čistu vegeterijansku vodu, prenosi Oddity Central.

TTK Prestige napravio je pročistač koji ne radi na električnu energiju, već samo na običnu gravitaciju te koristi naprednu švicarsku ultrafiltrirajuću tehnologiju s više razina čišćenja. Na taj način odstranjuju 99,9999 posto bakterija i 99,99 posto protozonskih cisti, kako bi konačan proizvod bila voda bez organizama sebi.

Što je još više čudesno, jest da LifeStraw može filtrirati spomenute organizme iz vode a da pritom voda ne izgubi svoje osnovne minerale, koje vegeterijanci i žele u vodi.

Ako krenemo od premise da su vegeterijanci protivnici konzumiranja mesa i zbog toga što je to rezultat masovnog pokolja životinja, nije li onda pokolj milijardi mikroorganizama isto tako ubojstvo? Ili se to ne računa, jer mikroskopski organizmi nemaju dušu, oči, ne osjećaju bol i slično? Da ne pričamo o ljudskom organizmu unutar kojeg u simbiozi žive nesagledive brojke mikroorganizama. Bi li se vegeterijanci htjeli rješiti i njih? Nekako to zvuči kao scenarij bez izgleda.

Savršeno sletio na nosač zrakoplova bez prednjeg kotača

Slijetanje zrakoplovom na nosač zrakoplova posao je samo za najbolje pilote, a bilo kakav problem taj posao i opasnost da nešto pođe po zlu višestruko povećava. Pilot borbenog zrakoplova AV-8B Harrier, međutim, napravio je pravi podvig pri slijetanju na nosač zrakoplova USS Bataan.

Satnik William Mahoney je 7. lipnja trebao obaviti još jedan rutinski let svojim Harrierom s palube USS Bataana, no pri polijetanju je otkrio kako mu je zakazao mehanizam na prednjem kotaču zrakoplova. naime, nakon što ga je uvukao, isti kotač više nije reagirao na komande i ostao je unutar trupa zrakoplova.

Mahoney je zrakoplov pozicionirao na oko 600 metara iznad broda i razgovarao s časnikom za slijetanje u kontrolnom tornju, kako bi mu pružio pomoć pri prisilnom slijetanju. Kad se Harrier spustio na visinu od 100 metara, iz kontrolnog tornja su Mahoneyu rekli kako mu prednji kotač nije izašao iz trupa te su pripremili posebnu stolicu za slijetanje, koja je dizajnirana upravo za takve situacije i na koju se nos zrakoplova treba nasloniti prilikom slijetanja, prenosi Business Insider.

To je značilo samo jedno, da Mahoney treba izvesti savršeno vertikalno slijetanje iz prvog pokušaja. kako je to izgledalo, pogledajte u priloženom videu.

Predsjednik države čekao u redu u javnoj bolnici

Najsiromašniji predsjednik na svijetu, Jose Mujica, ponovno je pokazao svoju skromnost.

Jose Mujica, najsiromašniji je predsjednik na svijetu. Ovaj skromni 78-godišnjak koji se nalazi na čelu Urugvaja poznati je po tome da veliki postotak svoje predsjedničke plaće daje u humanitarne svrhe.

Nakon stupanja na vlast Mujica je odbio živjeti u predsjedničkoj rezidenciji te, iako je postao najmoćnijim čovjekom zemlje, nastavio je živjeti u jednosobnoj kućici na obiteljskoj farmi, a nedavno je još jednim činom osvojio srca svijeta.

Svoju skromnost Mujica je dokazao tako što je čekao u redu u javnoj bolnici kao i svi ostali građani što dokazuje i fotografija koja se proširila društvenim mrežama.

U trenutku kada je zasjeo na vlast, Volkswagen 'buba' proizveden 1987. godine, bila je jedina imovina u vlasništvu ovog skromnog predsjednika, a vrijednost mu se procjenjuje na 1.900 dolara. Budući da bivši vođa gerile nema bankovni račun, a malu farmu cvijeća prepisao je na suprugu, automobil je u tom trenutku bio sve što je imao.

Mujica je tijekom šezdesetih i sedamdesetih godina sudjelovao u oružanoj pobuni protiv demokratski izabranih urugvajskih vlasti zbog čega je ovaj bivši vođa ljevičarske gerile u zatvoru proveo punih 14 godina, a predsjednikom Urugvaja postao je 2009. godine.

Poznat kao 'Pepe', Mujica tvrdi da je šest puta ranjen, te da je više puta mučen i držan u samicama. Oslobođen je u sklopu opće amnestije nakon završetka vojne diktature u Urugvaju 1973.- 1985. godine.

Mujica je bio ključan čovjek u transformiranju Tupamarosa u političku stranku, koja zajedno sa socijalistima i drugim manjim strankama čini široku koaliciju ljevice, na vlasti od 2005.

Amazing Wooden Motorcycle. And It Runs!

Motorcycle Enthusiast Builds His Dream Chopper Out of Wood. | Istvan Puskas, a motorcycle enthusiast from Hungary took the term “chopper” litterally and actually spent the last two years chopping his dream ride from black locust wood.

In the past, we’ve featured a few other unique wooden vehicles, like the bicycles of Slawomir Weremkowicz, or the VW Betle built by Momir Bojic, and even the popsicle stick bike made by Sun Chao, but this is the first functional chopper we’ve ever seen.

Istvan Puskas has spent the last two years building a -one-of-a-kind chopper almost entirely out of weather-resistant black locust wood. It’s not clear whether the agricultural machine expert from Tiszaros, 161 kilometers east of Budapest, couldn’t afford to buy himself an ordinary chopper, or if he just wanted to create something that would stand out weherever he went, but his wooden masterpiece certainly got a lot of attention when it was recently unveiled.

Wood isn’t the only unusual material used to create this special chopper. Instead of chromed steel, the handlebars and exhaust pipes are made from cow’s horns, and the amateur bike-maker used deer antlers as decorations. But what’s most surprising about Istvan Puskas’s chopper is that it actually works.
He used the engine of a small Fiat built in Poland under license from the Italian car maker, fueled with petrol from a small wooden barrel that serves as a gas tank. But considering, the chopper doesn’t look like it has any suspensions, I don’t think it’s the right vehicle for long outings. Still, the level of craftsmanship that went into the build is nothing short of impressive.

Grom ga bukvalno izuo iz cipela!

Šon O’Konor, iz oblasti Koveta, izašao je u dvorište svoje kuće da grabulja lišće.

Jutro je naizgled bilo vedro, kad je iznenada čuo glasan prasak.

"Zvučalo je kao da je palo drvo. Udar me odbacio na put i bukvalno me izvukao iz čizama", ispričao je on.

Dezorijentisan nakon događaja, O’Konor je prvo pomislio da je drvo palo na njega, dok nije vidio čizme kako se puše.

"Kad sam vidio svoje čizme na drugoj strani puta i čuo grmljavinu, shvatio sam da me je pogodio grom", rekao je on.

Kad je došao sebi, O’Konor je prvo pozvao svoju ženu i ispričao joj šta mu se dogodilo. Ona je mislila da pretjeruje, dok joj nije poslao snimak scene na putu. O’Konor je zatim završio u bolnici zbog nepravilnog rada srca.

O’Konor je kazao da je zahvalan što je živ, ali da sada brine šta će mu donijeti sljedeći dan.

"Iako nema naučnih dokaza, većinu ljudi koje je udario grom – udari još jednom. Pitam se kako ću se osjećati kada sljedeći put bude oblačno a ja potrčim da uzmem poštu iz sandučića ispred kuće", rekao je O’Konor.

Hillbilly Dance

Hillbilly is a term (often derogatory) for people who dwell in rural, mountainous areas of the United States, primarily southern Appalachia but also the Ozarks. Owing to its strongly stereotypical connotations, the term can be offensive to those Americans of Appalachian heritage.

Slang use

The term hillbilly is commonly used outside of Appalachia, the South and the Ozarks as a reference in describing socially backward people that fit certain "hillbilly" characteristics. In this context, it is often (though not always) derogatory. Although the described person may reside on completely flat terrain, hillbilly is substituted in place of more disparaging terms, such as white trash. In urban usage, hillbilly is sometimes used interchangeably for terms like hick.



Hillbilly music was at one time considered an acceptable label for what is now known as country music. However, some artists and fans, notably Hank Williams Sr., found the term offensive even in its heyday. The label, coined in 1925 by country pianist Al Hopkins,persisted until the 1950s.

10 of the World's Greatest Sports Cars

Nothing screams awesome more than cruising around in an incredibly attractive and fast vehicle. With that in mind, check out 10 of the greatest sports cars according to CNBC and Kelley Blue Book.

Nothing screams awesome more than cruising around in an incredibly attractive and fast vehicle. With that in mind, check out 10 of the greatest sports cars according to Kelley Blue Book and CNBC.

Number 10 - The Ferrari 250 GTO. Production on these bad boys was limited to three years in the early 1960s. Exactly 39 units came off the line, meaning the hand built autos are exceptionally rare. If you’re lucky enough to find one today, be prepared to shell out some cash. Last year, a 1963 GTO fetched $52 million.

Number 9 – The Dodge Viper. Although production creased in 2010, Vipers made their first appearance in 1992. Equipped with 400 horsepower V10 engines, the mean looking vehicles are ‘reminiscent of the 1960s racing legends’ according to Kelley Blue Book’s senior director Karl Brauer.

Number 8 - The Shelby Cobra. Thanks to the dreams of Texas chicken farmer, Carroll Shelby, this iconic vehicle reflects a British appearance but with an American V8 engine under the hood.

Number 7 – The Mercedes-Benz SL dates back to 1954. Described as the first production car that offered fuel injection and a top speed of over 160miles per hour, the vehicles are still being produced today.

Number 6 – What would any car compilation be without a Corvette? For over 6 decades, Chevrolet Corvettes have been dominating racetracks and roadways. Said Brauer ‘the Corvette has often been described as an exotic car slayer, because it effectively competes with sports cars costing two to five times as much.’

Number 5 – The itty bitty Mazda MX-5 Miata. Proving that big things come in small packages, it was first produced in 1989 and earns serious praise from Guinness World Records who declared ‘the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history’.

Number 4 – The Jaguar E-Type. With an extended front end and a shortened rear side, the styling is clean and nostalgic. Its styling reportedly led to Enzo Ferrari calling the model the ‘most beautiful car ever made’, and apparently spurred him to create the 250 GTO.

Number 3 – Thought to be the first sports car ever made, the Lamborghini Miura was produced from 1966 to 1972. The trendsetting model was introduced with a V12 engine located between the passenger compartment and rear axle and boasted an ability to travel 170 miles per hour. That was unheard of at the time.

Number 2 – The Acura NSX. The sports car highlighted Japan as an exotic vehicle manufacturer. Up until 1990, exotic autos were associated with being solely European creations.

Number 1 – The Porsche 911. The model has remained an auto buff favorite for more than 50 years. Over the course of 5 decades, the only difference between today’s models and those of the past are very minor design changes. Brauer stated ‘its performance continues to set the bar by which all other sports cars are measured’.

10 Of Your Body Parts You Can Live Without

Here are 10 body parts a person can surprisingly live without.

The inner workings of the human body are certainly complex, but among the greatest mysteries is why they’re equipped with so much useless stuff.

Here are 10 body parts a person can easily live without.

Number 10. The third eyelid. That little piece of membrane in the corner of the eye is a leftover from when people blinked more like reptiles and fish.

Number 9. Male Nipples. They happen because all people start off as female fetuses. The development of the Y chromosome doesn’t make the nipples disappear, it just renders them useless.

Number 8. Stomach. Some conditions, like stomach cancer, are treated by the complete removal of the organ. Those who undergo the surgery have their esophagus connected to their small intestine. It takes a little recovery time, but eventually they can eat the regular way.

Number 7. Wisdom teeth. While we all know these are no longer necessary for survival, it seems our bodies are finally figuring that out. Long ago, they were needed for the extra chewing power as early humans ate a lot of plants. Now, as our diets have changed and our jaws have gotten smaller, people are increasingly less likely to ever develop them.

Number 6. Tailbone. Those fused vertebrae at the end of the spine are remnants of what was once a tail. In general, tails assist animals with balance and as communication aids. When man became walking upright, the need for them waned. It’s not recommended, but it can be surgically removed if need be.

Number 5. Spleen. If you’re wondering, it’s the thing behind the stomach in the left upper part of the abdomen. It does all sorts of wonderful things like filtering the blood and fighting parasites, but it’s not essential equipment. People who have to do without one may be more prone to infection, but can get along just fine.

Number 4. Nose. In rare cases, individuals have been born with out them, yet grow and function. Among the greatest challenges many face are dealing with the cruel comments and rude stares they get from other people.

Number 3. A lung. Should a person have to have part or all of one of their lungs removed surgically, they can live a normal life. In some cases they can even live an extraordinary one. Pope Francis had part of a lung removed when he was a teen.

Number 2. Colon. It’s not unheard of for the organ to be removed. People losing theirs have a couple of options. They can wear an exterior bag that collects stool, or they can have a pouch made in the small intestine so it doubles as a colon.

Number 1. Half a brain. In one recent case, a child had a hemisphere of his brain removed as a measure to stop seizures. Not only did the procedure work for its intended purpose, the remaining hemisphere picked up the slack for the missing one.

Htio se praviti važan pred prijateljima, a onda...

Mišićavi muškarci, zgodne djevojke i napetost u zraku. Nitko nije slutio što će se dogoditi...

Darius Khashabi iz Kalifornije priredio si je za rođendan zabavu na bazenu i pozvao prijatelje. Nije mogao odoljeti, a da im ne pokaže svoje umijeće na motoru.

Krenuo je voziti na jednom kotaču no sve je pošlo po krivu.

Motor je proklizao, vozač pao s njega, a onda je vozilo sletjelo u bazen. Khshabi kaže da to radi već 11 godina, ali da mu se prvi put dogodilo da padne.

Nezgodu i ono što je uslijedilo odmah su snimii prijatelji, a snimka je postala hit.

Stampedo pataka pomeo sve pred sobom

Nakon što prođe prva skupina, odlično organiziranih pataka, koje se grupiraju tvoreći savršeni niz na kakvom bi pozavidjela svaka vojska, slijedi nova skupina tijekom čijeg prolaska je sav promet bio zaustavljen.

Video koji je obišao svijet izaziva oduševljenje ili pak zabrinutost, teško je procijeniti, prikazuje iznimno veliku skupinu pataka koje se slijevaju niz cestu poput poplave, piše Gawker.


Iz videa nije posve jasno o čemu se zapravo ovdje radi, čije su ovo patke, od kuda su došle i kamo su krenule. Stanovnik jednog mjesta u Tailandu, koji je snimio ovaj video, vidno je zabrinut, a video pokazuje kako ni on ne zna o čemu je riječ.

Nakon što prođe prva skupina, odlično organiziranih pataka, koje se grupiraju tvoreći savršeni niz na kakvom bi pozavidjela svaka vojska, slijedi nova skupina tijekom čijeg prolaska je sav promet bio zaustavljen.

Kad 1000 ljudi istovremeno pojede najljuću papričicu na svijetu

1000 osoba okupilo se u Kopenhagenu u okviru manifestacije koja dokazuje koliko je čudna ljudska vrsta.

Svojevoljno su pristali da svako od njih u isto vrijeme pojede po jednu papričicu i to ne bilo kakvu, već najljuću na svijetu. Degustaciju je organizovao danski zabavljač Chili Klaus.

Rezultat ovog eksperimenta bile su neprocjenjive reakcije koje gledaoce zabavljaju, ali učesnicima sigurno nije bilo lako.

Zapravo, na početku svi izgledaju sasvim normalno, te s hrabrošću grizu papričicu koja je 200 puta ljuća od jalapeño. Međutim, kratko poslije počinju muke.

Učesnicima degustacije poslije je dato da piju mlijeko kako bi se izborili sa ljutinom u ustima. Kako je sve to izgledalo pogledajte u videu.

Vatogasci spasili Kineskinju koja se zaglavila između divovskih stijena

Znatiželjnu Kineskinju su vatrogasci morali spašavati jer se zaglavila između dvije divovske stijene. Ona se vjerovatno htjela ušuljati između stijena i vidjeti šta kriju te gromade.

Žena se zaglavila između kamenih gromada u turističkom gradu Mudanjiang u provinciji Heilongjiang na sjeveroistoku Kine.

Zastrašujući scenarij je imao odjeka kao film "127 sati", a temelji se na istinitoj životnoj priči o mučenju Arona Ralstona čija ruka je bila zarobljena u pukotini u kanjonu Blue John u Utahu u aprilu 2003. godine.

Pustolov, kojeg je glumio James Franco bio je napušten u izoliranoj rupi 127 sati, gdje je upao nakon što je istraživao ovo područje. Bojeći se da ću umrijeti sama, Ralston je odsjekao ruku džepnim nožoćem što je bio jedini način za bijeg, a to je ujedno i događaj koji je bio jedan od zastrašujućih scena ovog filma.

No, na svu sreću, avantura Kineskinje koja se zaglavila između dvije stijene nije imala tako strašne posljedice. Dvanaest vatrogasaca je provelo više od 20 minuta kako bi je izvukli pomoću užadi.

Žena je rekla da je pokušala proći između stijena, ali su se njene grudi zaglavile u ovom uskom prostoru.
