If You Really Want To Touch Somebody

Australian Post

Amusing advertisement by Australian Post delivering the message that ‘If you really want to touch someone, send them a letter’. In this digital age, email has taken over much over post mail and writing a letter would definitely be more touching.

World's first back-to-front shoe

The world's first back-to-front shoe
The world's first back-to-front shoe, courtesy of designer Marc Jacobs. Whether you think it is a gimmick too far or a piece of fashion genius depends how far up the fashionista ladder you are - on a scale of one to crazy.

The Marc Jacobs shoe twist turns conventional fashion wisdom on its head and places the heel at the front.

A chunky, four-inch heel nestles horizontally just under the ball of the foot. Where you'd expect a heel, there is nothing but fresh air. The centre of gravity therefore is somewhere under the arch of the foot, forcing the whole body to tilt forward. The effort of staying upright in them will be the equivalent of an advanced level Pilates class.

To buy into the trend will cost you £270 for a plain pair and £330 for a more elaborate design decorated with metal swirls and Swarovski crystals.

They are part of the American designer's 2008 collection, which attracted mixed reviews at New York fashion week. Jacobs himself described his new collection as "the emperor's new clothes" and said it aimed to overturn conventional fashion.

How to change the button colors for the Guitar Hero Controller.

Intro How to change the button colors for the Guitar Hero Controller.
Hi, at first I wanted to change the colors (green, red, yellow, blue, and orange) around to confuse my friends, but then I decided to make it rainbow colored. it just changes the colors up. The buttons will not change the game either, all the buttons will stay the same. (Green, red, yellow, blue, orange.)

LET'S START

Guitar

step 1 Opening the guitar.
Unscrew the back of the controller.

Guitar

step 2 Unscrewing the Guitar Neck.
Unscrew the guitar's neck, there should be 5 screws or something.. Not too many though.

Guitar

step 3 Unscrew the button board.
Okay, now. Here is the button board, it should say A,B,C,D,E. Unscrew the 2 screws on the side.

Guitar

step 4 Changing the buttons.
Now, re-arrange the button colors in any way you like. I made mine rainbow colored. This is cool, and you can trick your friends! Note: The button color changes made will not effect gameplay, it just makes the controller look cooler.

Guitar

step 5 Finishing up.
Now, screw the button board back on, screw the neck back on, and then screw the back of the guitar back on

Guitar

step 6 Finished!
Now, you're done! This is my first instructable, and I hope you guys enjoyed it! Have fun tricking your friends with the button changes! Also, in the pictures, my controller's white pick guard is off, I will be giving it a little paint job.

Horrible Fact about KFC



KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire , they found some very upsetting facts. First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name?
Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC. Does anybody know why? We thought the real reason was because of the "FRIED" food issue.
IT'S NOT! !
The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called "chickens" are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFC.
Because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet. The government has told them to change all of their menus so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen
to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing.
I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know. Please forward this message to as many people as you can. Together we make KFC start using real chicken again.

This pictures were taken on the banks of Sumatra Island (the height of waves was of approx. 32 m = 105 ft). It was found saved in a digital camera, 1 1/2 years after the disaster.
We cannot know for sure, but very likely the one who took the pictures is not alive any more (it was just a matter of seconds).
Today we can see the last image he/ she saw. Can you belive the horror which would have passed through the poor victims minds.

Cop gone wild- Lying and making threats



This happened in a speed trap town in Missouri called St. George with only a few ... all » officers that think they have more power than they really do. This happened outside of their jurisdiction and they have no police powers, except for felonies in progress, where they stopped me, according to state law.

The commuter lot is open 24 hours a day and can be confirmed by calling 1-888-Ask-MoDOT.

You can see me pass the officer at :08 seconds as he nearly blocks the road as he sits waiting for the next car without license plate lights to come by.

You'll hear this officer tell me he'll make up "9 different charges" including resisting arrest before he has even tried to arrest me. You'll hear him say how I didn't use my turn signal and I was weaving when the video clearly proves him wrong.

I truly thought if I didn't suck up, I would be beaten and maybe killed.

I think the officers last name is Sgt. Kenline, but I am not sure on the spelling, if you know for sure, please email me.

L-shaped Hairdryer

L-shaped Hairdryer
Hairdryers are rarely the focus of much excitement, let alone creativity, when it comes to design, which is strange really, considering what a vital piece of equipment it is in most women’s (and a lot of men’s) armoury. But this might be about to change, thanks to Italian designers deepdesign who have developed a very handsome prototype for a dryer called ‘Winds’.

‘Winds’ is a standalone, auto-switching machine with a revolutionary double airflow and an unusual L-shaped body (to prevent fatigue from repeated use), designed to be the most efficient, ergonomic and aesthetically sound hairdryer in the product’s short history. But don’t get too excited just yet as the prototype has yet to reach commission, let alone production stages.

‘We developed it without a real client, which was very unusual for us, but we invested immeasurable energy, time and money on it because we have real faith in the idea,’ explains Rafaella Mangiarotti Matteo Bazzicalupo, the duo that make up deepdesign. ‘Our idea for the design came from studying hair stylists using traditional hairdyers. We realised the hairdryer follows particular movements, which the traditional T-shaped design simply wasn’t suited to, hence we developed a new object with a far more ergonomic shape, better suited to its function.’

So whilst our clunky driers still have some life in them yet, a better looking, better working model is not too far away…

8 Weird Asian Martial Arts Weapons

From iron claws and meteor hammers to deer antler blades and emei needles, ancient Martial Arts weapons range greatly in shape and design, yet all have only one purpose - to injure. In the hands of a skilled assassin, even the humble chopsticks can become savage weapons.

Brutal metal-link whips, miniature swords disguised as tobacco pipes, fans edges with razor-sharp blades and poison-tipped arrows are all lethal in their own right but pale in comparison with an almost mystical weapon of decapitation.

Urumi
Also known as “chuttuval,” which means “coiled sword,” this flexible weapon is used in the South Indian Martial Art of Kalaripayatt.

The blade (or multiple blades, as in the urumi pictured here) is flexible enough to be rolled up and stored when not used, or even worn as a belt and whipped out on demand.

The blade or blades are typically razor-sharp and bad news for anyone standing in the vicinity of the person wielding the urumi.

2. The Tekko-kagi (”hand claws”)
Tekko-kagi (”hand claws”)
Ninjas would use the tekko-kagi claws to guard against sword attacks, allowing them to swipe and potentially knock the sword from an assailant’s hands.

Or, ninjas could use claws the claws offensively against their opponents with devastating results.

Typically made from aluminum, steel, iron or wood, tekko weapons are believed by martial arts historians to have originated when the Bushi in Okinawa, Japan began wielding the steel shoes of their horses as a means of self-defense against assailants.
Tekko-kagi
3. The Kusari-gama
Kusari-gama
Kusari-gama is a traditional Japanese weapon that consists of Scythe-like blade,Kama, on a metal chain with a heavy iron weight at the end.

This weapon came from the design of the farmer’s scythe but this was not a weapon that farmers used.

The art of handling the Kusarigama is called Kusarigamajutsu.
4. The Nunchaku
Nunchaku
A nunchaku is two sections of wood (or metal in modern incarnations) connected by a cord or chain. Chinese nunchaku tend to be rounded, whereas Japanese are octagonal.

The traditional nunchaku is made from a strong, flexible hardwood such as oak, loquat or pasania. Originally, the wood would be submerged in mud for several years, where lack of oxygen and optimal acidity prevent rotting.

The end result is a hardened wood. The rope is made from horsehair, and was traditionally claimed to be able to block a sword. Finally, the wood is very finely sanded and rubbed with an oil or stain for preservation.
5. The Meteor Hammer & Rope Dart
Meteor Hammer Rope Dart
This weapon is comprised of a long rope with twin metal weights, “hammers”, or darts on each end. When used as a weapon, the hammer or dart on the front end is used for attack and the other for protection.

The rope wraps around the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, thigh, foot, or waist. When the hammer or dart is released, it strikes outward with stunning and surprising speed. It is one of Chinese martial arts’ most unique and difficult-to-master weapons.
6. San-Jie-Gun (Three Section Staff)
San-Jie-Gun
The three sectional staff, is a historical weapon, which appears in the Chinese book “Sangokushi”. Its distinctive feature is three 70 cm sticks chained together making it much longer than a long staff.

It can be swung around, or as a staff, using one’s whole body space to fend off an attacker. A Chinese weapon constructed from three pieces of wood connected by metal rings at their ends. Lengths of the sections are roughly equal, each about the length of the practitioner’s arms (with the diameter around one inch).

The three sectional staff can be used as a long range weapon when held at one end and swung freely, or a short-range weapon when two of the sections are held and used to strike or parry.
7. Shurikens (Throwing Star)
Throwing Star
One of the most popular weapons of the Ninja, the shuriken was used as more of a distraction than an actual weapon. Although they can hurt they rarely penetrate deep enough to kill. Shurikens come with anywhere from 4 to 12 points traditionally.
8. Tessen (Iron Fan)
Tessen (Iron Fan)
Folding fans with outer spokes made of iron which were designed to look like regular, harmless folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan.

Samurai could take these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon.

The tessen was also used for fending off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming, like hand-flippers.
