Strange food
They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. The same could be said about food: one man’s nightmare may just be another man’s delicacy. From cow’s tongue and pig’s snout to chicken’s feet, from fried worms and frog’s legs to sautéed snails, the list of weird stuff we eat is endless (and often quite tasty). If you’ve been indulging lately and need a reason to diet, take a read, you may just lose that appetite.
Balut
Balut seems to be on every “strange food” list, usually at the top, and for good reason. Though no longer wriggling on the plate like the live octopus in Korea, the fertilized duck or chicken egg with a nearly-developed embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell is easily one of the strangest foods in the world. Balut is very common in the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam and usually sold by street vendors. It is said balut tastes like egg and duck (or chicken), which is essentially what it is. It is surprising to many that a food that appears so bizarre—often the with the bird’s features clearly developed–can taste so banal. In the end, apparently everything does indeed, just taste like chicken.
Most bizzare lawsuits were presented at the annual award Stella Awards. Name “Stella” was inspired by 81 year old lady, from New Mexico, who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonalds. They had to pay her 2.86 million $.
This year winner is Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City.
In November 2000 Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he couldn’t actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnie. Continue reading Stella awards – Most bizarre lawsuits in US
Paxton Galvanek never had medical training, but he’d gone through medic certification in the America’s Army video game. Then one November night as he drove down the highway with his family, he watched as an SUV flipped multiple times in the opposite lane.
As his wife called 911, Galvanek pulled two injured passengers from the truck, assessed their wounds, and properly prioritized/administered treatment (direct pressure and elevation) to one of the accident’s more brutal injuries, a mutilated hand. In short, he did things just as he should have in a circumstance that could have ended even worse. And yes, Galvanek thanks his training in a video game for his performance under pressure: Continue reading Video game saved life
New stuff from Lego company: Digital camera.
Lego company decided to introduce a series of extremely popular walkie-talkie and digital cameras designed specially for children.
As you can see in the picture above, devices are designed in a modern style of Lego, but it is not only the lego blocks, this will be a real, functional gadget. I unfortunately is not possible to separate camera in lots of cubes..
From the specifications, which are still unknown, we can not expect much because price of device will be between 19 and $ 60. So, this summer, when these devices appear on the market, expect something on the level of a one-time basis camera.

World longest bus
Let me introduce you with probably the world longest bus. It has been presented in Shanghai’s Busworld Asia 2007. With a top speed of 51mph (82 km/h) and a max capacity of 300 passengers, it works only in cities without corners or the other way would be to drive from one block to another without turning (driving between Beijing and Hangzhou).
This article is about some of world strongest alcohols liquors. Everclear, absinthe, vodka, whiskey, gim and rum.
Everclear
Everclear is a potent type of grain alcohol, that is available at concentrations of 75.5% alcohol and unbelievable 95% alcohol (190 proof, the highest proof alcohol that can exist without evaporating). Just to compare with some other hard liquors such as rum and vodka, which typically contain 40%–60% alcohol.
Because of hes strength it became popular amongst college students.
Its banned in some states, but in those where is legal to buy it, you can find him in 750ml bottle for just over $20, what is very good price for hes strength.
Everclear is commonly added to a variety of other drinks, such as soft drinks, energy drinks, fruit juice, and iced tea. Everclear is also used in cooking because alcohol extracts flavors exceptionally well. It is used to make custom liqueurs such as rosé or limoncello. It is infused with fruit and then diluted with simple syrup to 30% alcohol
Absinthe
Absinthe is also one strong alcohol drink, with 50%-75% of alcohol. Actual content varies by brand. For example Hills Absinth and King of Spirits Absinth a contains 70%.
Most absintheurs drink absinthe the traditional way: louched with water poured over a cube of white sugar. Some drink absinthe that was poured over sugar that is subsequently set alight (though absinthe purists decry this practice), and a few even like drinking absinthe neat (brave souls!). Absinthe cocktails, too, have long been a favorite way to enjoy this special drink. More recently, absinthe even found its way into ice cream sundaes and Swiss chocolates.
Absinthe has long been believed to be hallucinogenic, but today it is known that absinthe does not cause hallucinations, especially ones similar to those described in 19th century studies.
Like Everclear and Absinthe is banned in lots of countrys.
Vodka
Vodka comes from Easter Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine). Usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% by volume.
Name Vodka comes from the Russian “voda” (eng. water). Its also know as “Russian national drink”. Its popularity elsewhere owes much to its usefulness in cocktails and other mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, the Screwdriver, the vodka tonic, vodka martini, and most recently vodka red bull.
Whiskey
Whiskeys do not mature in the bottle, only in the cask, so the “age” of a whisky is the time between distillation and bottling. Standard percent of alcohol is 40% (Jack Daniels). Some of the higher end stuff is cask strength. Knob Creek is 50%, and Booker’s is around 62%.
Gin
Gin usually contains 40% of alcohol, but some like Tanqueray are 48.5%. As other hard liquors is mixed into cocktails with sweeter ingredients like tonic water or vermouth to balance this dryness.
Rum
Usually 35% percent of alcohol. Its a distilled beverage made from sugarcane by-products such as molasses and sugarcane juice by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak and other barrels.
