Speed Skater Puts up World Record in never before seen vote on Youtube

 

Speed skater puts the fate of his world record on the line in never before seen vote on Youtube to get more people skating:

Danny Dannels skated across the United States in 2008, breaking the Guinness World Record. He is now putting the submission up for a vote on Youtube in an effort to bring attention to skating.

He says, “Skating is the answer to so many problems facing our society: Pollution, petrol dependence, physical fitness, and, mental health. Skating increases social skills and over-all happiness. Go skate!”

Voting is available online at:

Danny will be skating Trans-USA again August 2009. The original attempt was sponsored in part by Australian speed skate manufacturer Bont.

Through his current efforts, he is raising money to donate to the Police Athletic League in Miami, in honor of The Great EsSkate, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the cure, in the battle against breast cancer.

He will be skating Trans-USA again August 2009. As in 2008, he will skate from San Diego, California to Jacksonville, Florida.

He has received commitments from Bont North America and an offer from Newron Sports. World record skater Jonathan Seutter will draft Danny across California.

How Computers will Save Us All

 

How the internet will save us all.

How the internet will save us all.

 
This is what happens when kids take over the world.  First they try to sell you on how buying video games are bad for the environment, and then next they say, “Hey if we download games to play we are saving Mother Earth.” We should all do our part to help save the planet.

world’s largest denim pants!

 

Pure denim of 43 meters long and 7.5 tonnes heavy! The pants even had pockets, buttons and a belt! That got me thinking — how much did all this cost?? And for what? Just to be on the Guinness Book of World Records? Tsk!

weird news from around the world

 

COMMUNION WAFERS THIEF!
In the election hotspot of Florida, a man was busted for attempting to steal communion wafers from a priest. John Samuel Ricci, 33, allegedly knocked parishioners to the ground as he made his way out of St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Jensen Beach bearing the holy communion wafers. What for?? For sustenance? To sell it to the highest bidder? So weird! Anyhoo, Mr. Ricci was busted and he then asked if he could do penance. LOL!

SHOPPING VIA HELICOPTERS
Yup, this is the latest trend among wealthy Romanians. According to reports, the filthy rich fly their helicopters to the supermarket and land between cars in the parking lot. Recently, two men landed at the Real supermarket in Bacau, did their shopping, and took off via air. A witness said, “It’s the third time I’ve seen people coming shopping in their helicopters. I heard they are important persons, but I think they’re a little snobbish, too.” Snobs indeed! ;-)

ARMLESS MAN ROBBED GERMAN STORE
I told German people are superhumans! Even if they are maimed, disabled and armLESS, they still managed to rob a store! At least one armless German male did! According to reports, he made off with the 24-inch set TV using clamps that had been attached to his body by an accomplice. A cop said, “It’s hard to believe that the sight of an armless man walking along with a giant TV clamped to his body did not get anyone’s attention.”

The whole world watch in fascination while Barack Obama supporters celebrated and cried in what was dubbed as night where America proved once again that in their land, EVERYTHING is possible. Congrats to the US citizens and to the family of Obama who made this all happen!

weird beauty uses for tomato =)

 

Yup, this post is dedicated to all the women out there — and to men concerned with their complexions! Hehe! We all know that tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and the oh-so good antioxidants that battle aging. But who would have thought that tomatoes can be used for facials and other beauty stuff? Weird but its certainly effective! Read on for the tomato beauty tips:

1. Face Brightening Tomato Paste – If your face is oily and needs some brightening, apply tomato paste (very cheap and easy to find!) as a facial mask for 10-15 minutes. Once it starts to tingle, wash it off with warm water. Tomato paste is also great for removing pimples, just apply it directly on the pimple.

2. Tomato Facial – Cut up a tomato and rub it directly onto your face, focusing on areas prone to blackheads. Leave the tomato ‘puree’ on your face for 5 minutes, and rinse off in lukewarm water after.

3. Lime and Tomato Pore Minimizer – Mix a little bit of lime in with your tomato mixture (either paste or cut up tomatoes), and apply the mix to your face. Focus on your nose, chin and forehead then rinse off with cold water after about 10 minutes and then moisturize as usual.

world’s oldest cereal is “instant”!

 

Yeah, weird huh?? It isn’t us, the modern Homo sapiens, that created instant cereals after all! According to a new study published in Vegetation History and Archaeobotany, the world’s oldest known cooked cereal wasn’t very different from the instant cereals served today. Dating from between 5920 to 5730 B.C., the ancient cereal consisted of parboiled bulgur wheat that Early Neolithic Bulgarians could refresh in minutes with hot water. Weird but definitely cool! ^_^ Lead author Soultana-Maria Valamoti explained to Discovery News:

“People boiled the grain, dried it, removed the bran and ground it into coarse particles. In this form, the cereal grain can be stored throughout the year and consumed easily, even without boiling, by merely soaking in hot water.”

The scientists also cooked and processed modern wheat and hulled barley, putting the results through the same analysis. The fine details and internal structure of the modern boiled, dried and ground cereals matched what the researchers saw in the ancient Bulgarian grains.

Coca-Cola drinks as contraceptive?

 

It works says an Ig Nobel weird science awardee! According to a CNN report, Deborah Anderson had heard the urban legends about the contraceptive effectiveness of Coca-Cola products for years. So she and her colleagues decided to put the soft drink to the test. For discovering that, yes indeed, Coke was a spermicide, Anderson and her team are among this year’s winners of the Ig Nobel prize, the annual award given by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine to oddball but often surprisingly practical scientific achievements.

Deborah Anderson, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Boston University’s School of Medicine, and her colleagues found that not only was Coca-Cola a spermicide, but Diet Coke for some reason worked best. Their study appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1985. “We’re thrilled to win an Ig Nobel, because the study was somewhat of a parody in the first place,” Anderson said, adding she does not recommend using Coke for birth control purposes. A Coca-Cola spokeswoman refused comment on the Ig Nobel awards.
