Okinawa, a Japanese island contains some of the most gorgeous caves of the world. Here are some of them!

New research found that being exposed to PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic, commonly known as Vinyl can lead to fat storage predisposition. "The study published in Environmental Health Perspectives, exposed pregnant mice to (TBT) a chemical found in PVC plastic and marine hull paint". This resulted in children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the mice to express fat specific genes, and retain fat in body and liver even though they weren't exposed to PVC. It's not known for sure that people react the same to the chemical yet, but the probabiliy is big. PVC can be found in food packaging, like meat, and cheese wraps, cookie and cereal boxes, candy wrappers, water bottles etc. as well as many boxes for electronics, toys and other devices. 

"An eye for an eye," is what grandpa used to say every time we'd load that slingshot with a stone or acorn or chewing gum. Get this: there are now GIANT sling shots! they sure could have used this in the days of Moses, Sampson, and whoever else there was back in the Biblical days.

When it's time to get your accessorizing on, what better way than with the details that no woman can miss. Cufflinks are something many men put off out of pure laziness. But a pair like these will catch the eye of any woman worth your 10 minute smoking break. 

By the 1930s, the Russian army had only begun exploring the idea of large planes. At the time, the belief was that the aircraft should have as many propellers as possible in order to carry the massive metallic beast into the air (jet propulsion had not been discovered). Very few photos were salvaged from those top-secret times, but the recent re-discovery of this photograph assures us of the actual existance of the rumored Russian heavy bomber K-7. A reconstruction of a life size model is underway. 

Global warming has been leaving our planet in an air of desctruction. Some countries are flooded, and some lands are completely dehydrated beyond belief.

Known for shaping skate-inspired objects out of colorful used decks, Tokyo-based designer, Haroshi, both invents and reinvents figures emblematic of street culture, which ironically often become icons in their own right.

"Almost everything I do is connected with skate culture," he says. "I'm influenced simply by what I love, sometimes this includes imagery that holds nostalgia from my childhood."

It's such a beautiful sight, when you go outside, and venture out into the world, and see video games all around you. It's kind of like candy land, but better.

According to Guiness World Records, the largest set of Russian dolls is a 51-piece set hand-painted by Youlia Bereznitskaia (Russia). The largest measures 1 ft 9.25 in (53.97 cm) in height, the smallest 0.125 in (0.31 cm) in height. The set was completed on 25 April 2003.

When all 51 pieces are lined up together touching, they measure 11 ft 2.25 in length. To break this record both the number of dolls in the set and the height of the tallest must be broken.

The other giant Matryoshka doll you see in what appears to be somekind of town center is actually in Taowa Square in Manzhouli, China. The doll in the center is 100 feet high and presides over a square full of matryoshka-themed souvenir shops. Sounds like heaven to me, except for the part about it being in Mongolia.
