Day & Night at the same time in the same place
THIS PHOTO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. BE SURE TO
READ THE TEXT BELOW TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT YOU ARE VIEWING. IT IS HISTORIC TOO AS THIS
IS THE LAST MISSION FOR COLUMBIA .
The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia
during its last mission, on a cloudless day.
The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting.
Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.
The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert .
Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona,
and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid .
The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar . The Mediterranean Sea is
already in darkness.
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands;
below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the
Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point
of Africa , are the Cape Verde Islands.
Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during
day time and night time.
To the left, on top, is Greenland , totally frozen.

Micheal Jackson GOD? (FUNNY)
Be careful how you explain
"who God is" to your children...

Boy: Dad, is God a man or a woman?
Father: Both, son, both.
(After a short while the boy comes back.)

Shakira Shows Off Her Flexibility
Latin Singer Shakira apparently wants the whole world to know she is flexible. Funny how the last thing I'm thinking about while watching this video is how good she'd be at gymnastics.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
World's Most Expensive Tea Bag

The tea bag took three months to make has been hand-crafted using 280 diamonds.
Pete Harbour, spokesman for PG Tips said: "As it's our 75th birthday, we wanted to do something special to remind people just how much they love the great British cup of tea."
The tea bag will eventually be used as part of a prize draw to raise money for Manchester Children's Hospitals, a charity chosen by workers at the PG Tips factory in Trafford Park, Manchester.

Japanese Indoor Beach
Ocean Dome has its own flame-spitting volcano, crushed white marble sand, and it also boasts the world's largest retractable roof, providing a permanently blue sky. Temperature, wind and humidity are closely controlled to provide an ultra-safe sea-side experience.
Every hour, the volcano erupts and the hi-tech wave machines start up, starting a few minutes of sanitised surfing. Entrance costs US$50, which seems especially expensive given that there is a free, natural beach only 300 metres away.
Imagine a beach where the sky is always blue, it's never too hot or cold, the water isn't filled with salt and pollution, and the surf is always perfect. Welcome to Ocean Dome, the world's only indoor beach.

Money Spider Art
The spider requires five bills: four for the legs, and one to wrap the body.
Start by rolling up four of the bills into tight tubes (as explained here), then fold each one in half end-to-end.
Then fold the remaining bill exactly in half lengthwise three times.
Now you have the pieces.
Then fold the remaining bill exactly in half lengthwise three times.
Now you have the pieces.
Take each of the four leg tubes and drape them over the flat folded bill near the end. As shown, leave a little bit hanging out the end, as seen to the left in the picture.
This is a close-up of the four legs draped over the flat folded bill. While holding the leg ends tightly together, tightly wrap the flat bill around the whole thing one and a half times.
This picture shows the flat bill wrapping over and trapping the end poking out from the left on the picture above. Make sure that this wrap is very tight, that the legs are squeezed tightly together, or you won't be able to make the body stay together (described later).
This is a pretty good, tight wrap. If it doesn't look like this, don't continue. Work on it until it is solidly tight.
Making sure to hold the wrap tightly closed, turn the whole thing over in your hands. While squeezing the side tightly together, kink each of the legs outward, four on each side.
Fold a ninety degree turn into the flap over the end, and then fold the remainder down between the split legs. (Just look at the picture.)
After going between the legs (top of this picture), wrap the flap around the other end and around under.
Okay, this is a rotten picture, but... Take the remainder of the tab (bottom of previous picture, middle-to-right this picture), and tuck it between the legs and the outer wrap on the side that the outer wrap is only one deep.
If all has gone well up to now, the body will hold itself together based on the previous step. For each of the eight legs, bend back toward the body.
There are two keys to having it look nice and stay together

Cock And Hen
A farmer rears twenty-five young hens and one old cock. As he feels that
The old cock could no longer handle his job efficiently, the farmer bought one
Young cock from the market.
Old cock to Young cock : "Welcome to join me, we will work together towards
Productivity.
Young cock : What ya mean? As far as I know, you are old and should be
Retired.
Old cock : Young boy, there are twenty-five hens here, can't I help you
With some?
Young cock : No! Not even one, all of them will be mine.
Old cock : In this case, I shall challenge you to a competition and if I
Win you shall allow me to have one hen and if I loose you will have all.
Young cock : O.K. What kind of competition?
Old cock : 50 meter run. >From here to that t! Ree. But due to my age, I hope
You allow me to start off the first 10 meters.
Young cock : No problem ! We will compete tomorrow morning.
Confidently, the following morning, the Young cock allows the Old cock to
Start off and when the Old cock crosses the 10 meters mark the Young cock
Chases him with all his might.
Soon enough, he was behind the Old cock back in a matter of seconds.
Suddenly, Bang! ..... Before he could overtake the old cock, he was shot
Dead by the farmer, who cursed, "What the hell ! This is the fifth GAY
Chicken I've bought this week !"
