Yes folks aliens! Unknown beings! Well okay, maybe not. Here is a video posted on YouTube on 30 June 2009 called "Unknown Lifeform in North Carolina Sewer!"
Filmed by construction firm Malphrus Construction using a "snake camera". Malphrus Construction were hired to inspect the sewer, built in 1949, to check for damage to the infrastructure, when their camera happened upon these pulsating slimy sacs.
You clearly see them shy away from the light attached to the camera.
Have you ever had a REALLY crap haircut? It's embarrassing having to go out in public isn't it? Well, spare a thought for this guy. He's got a REAL crap haircut!
Some retraining might be in order for this undercover FBI agent! Jim says in his defence: "Hey man, undercover work is complicated. You can expect me to remember EVERYTHING!" Something tells me that the promised promotion may be withdrawn.
It's that time of year again. Christmas is upon us and time honoured traditions are... err... honoured. But! Are Christmas traditions the same all over the world?
Well, according to this classic video clip from Saturday Night Live, Australians have their own way of doing things.
Toilet on wheels - for bowel movements on the move!
That's right folks! You read correctly. November 19th is World Toilet Day.
In fact World Toilet Day has a serious message. November 19th was the founding date of the World Toilet Organization (WTO) and so they declared it World Toilet Day to raise awareness of their cause. Which is to improve toilets and sanitation conditions worldwide.
Sim Jae-Duck (toilet duck, lol), chairman of a very similar organization called the World Toilet Association (WTA) built a giant toilet sized house last year in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do (Province) to commemorate the WTA's General Assembly in Seoul that year. The toilet-shaped house is called "Haewoojae", which means "a place where one can solve one's worries," (a euphemistic expression describing a toilet). It was also registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the first and largest toilet-shaped building in the world.
But saying that, there are also the images appearing on Google Earth, of a giant toilet-shaped building in Orlando, Florida. It's a birdseye view only of course and the more I look at it, I can't decide whether I think it's meant to look more like a giant horseshoe on the roof.
One of the other great toilets they mention, is the toilet built inside an aquarium at the Mumin Papa Cafe in Japan, as seen in this video below.
But if you thought that having a toilet inside an aquarium was weird, how about the other way round? How do you feel about having the aquarium inside your toilet? Well if that sounds like your sort of thing, then you can purchase your very own aquarium-in-a-toilet from the guys at Fish 'n' Flush for just $299.
Although, seeing as the toilet is the last place a goldfish usually ends up, it could be thought of as a beautifully illuminated death row for goldfish. Haha.
British machine gunners in anti-phosgene masks - 1916
I had meant to post this a few days back on the 11th, to mark the 90th anniversary of the armistice of the First World War. But somehow didn't get around to it. But here we are anyway, if a few days late.
It's a short history lesson in the form of animated maps progressing through a timeline from 1914-1918. Here is a small embedded version.
