The World’s Tallest Boy

April 9th, 2009 · 22 Comments

Brenden Adams, 13, from Ellensburg, Washington, is now 7ft 4 1/2ins tall but was born a normal 7lb 4oz. At 12 months he was the size of a three year-old.
By 8 he was as big as an adult but doctors didn’t know what was causing his growth spurt, until they discovered a problem with his chromosomes. Source

From the world’s tallest bike, to another made entirely out of wood. Tree branch bike is my favorite, although the seat looks a bit uncomfortable.

Posted on behalf of Fairfax Chiropractor

Toronto scientists have invented a machine that can guess what you are thinking, and it’s 80 per cent accurate.
A team of researchers from the University of Toronto has developed a brain-scanning headset that can detect a person’s preferences, with an accuracy of 80%. The headset is fitted with fibre-optic cables that emit infrared light at around the same frequency as a typical TV remote control.

Injured Deer Visits Veterinary Clinic On Its Own

February 10th, 2009 · View Comments

For veterinarian Agustin Cuesta and his staff at the clinic inside the Rossford (Ohio) PetSmart,  Saturday brought their first deer patient and unaccompanied walk-in. He told officers he could treat it right there on the stockroom floor so it could return to the wild.  After its cuts were stitched up, the deer bounded off across an intersection and back into the wild.

Amazingly Unique Bridges

December 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Opened in May of this year – the Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge in Sao Paulo, Brazil – is a stunning x-shaped cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Pinheiros river in Sao Paulo. It’s design is unique in that the two curved decks of the bridge cross each other through its x-shaped supporting tower, an illuminated structure that stands 450ft tall and has attached to it 144 steel cables.

Philips’ additions to the bridge were previewed on April 24th. The lighting accentuates the striking design and unique features of the bridge and improves drivers’ visibility. (Sponsored By Sell Gold Online)

Venice Under Water

December 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Acqua Alta (high water) is a phenomenon that regularly occurs in the city of Venice, Italy, most commonly during high and spring tide. It involves the flooding of the most low-lying areas of Venice, or, in more severe cases, up to 96% of the City. By official definition, acqua alta occurs when water is higher than 90mm (3.54 inches) above normal tide.
The recent “acqua alta” reached a depth of 1.56 meters (5 ft, 1 in.) on Monday – the deepest flood in 22 years, and the fourth highest flood level in recent history, claimed Venice’s Tide Center.
The water began to subside on Tuesday, while residents and tourists made their way through the city.
