The Dubai Fountain

The Dubai fountain is the world’s largest and one of the world’s tallest fountains, surpassing the Fountains of Bellagio at Las Vegas by a 25%. The Dubai fountains is 275 m (902.2 ft), which is more than the length of two football fields, and has five circles of varying sizes and two central arcs.

The Dubai Fountains can be seen from over 32.2 km (20.0 mi) away up or horizontally if you have a clear line of sight. The fountains can shoot to the maximum height of 150 m (492.1 ft), which is equivalent to a 40-storey building or high enough to wash the windows a fifth of the way up the Burj Khalifa.

The fountain was designed by WET Design, the California-based company responsible for the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. IIt was built at a cost of $218 million USD  which is the total cost of the Fountain’s lake, the fountain, and its filtration system

A true wonder of modern technology it dances well over 6,600 lights of the modern incandescent lighting for fountains and 25 color projectors create a light show unseen. Light rays directed toward the sky can be seen from 30 miles away and is said can be seen from space, making Dubai Fountain the brightest place in the Middle East and possibly around the world.

New Zealand Truck Driver Blew Up Like a Balloon Through Buttocks

WHAKATANE, New Zealand, May 26 (UPI) -- A New Zealand truck driver said he is "lucky to be alive" after an air hose became lodged in his buttocks and blew him up "like a balloon."

Steven McCormack, 48, said he fell from the rigging between his truck and the trailer at Waiotahi Contractors in Whakatane and he landed on the hose connected to the vehicle's air brakes, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.

McCormack said the nozzle pierced his left buttocks and began pumping air into his body at 100 pounds per square inch.

"I was blowing up like a football," he said. "I had no choice but just to lay there, blowing up like a balloon."

Doctors said the air separated fat from muscle, caused his lungs to fill with fluid and compressed his heart.

McCormack was rescued by coworkers and taken to an intensive care unit at a Whakatane hospital. He said it took nearly three days for his body to deflate to normal size.

"You just have to burp it out, or fart it out," he said.

Breast Milk Ice Cream Offered in London Shop!!!

Well talking about extremes this time it's breast milk ice-cream. Well this is certainly a new flavour?!

A London ice cream parlour said it added ice cream made from breast milk to its menu. 35-year-old Victoria Hiley is on of the 15 women donating breast milk to the shop.

"What´s the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash? What could be more natural than fresh, free-range mother´s milk in an ice cream?" Hiley told reporters. Like all women who want to donate milk she underwent a health check beforehand.

At 14 pounds ($23) a serving, you could certainly say they're milking it for all it's worth. Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor was confident that the "miracle of motherhood" will go down a treat with the paying public.

The breast milk was provided by mothers who answered an advertisement on online mothers' forum Mumsnet. Those women were paid £15 for every 10 ounces of their bodily fluid.

The restaurant, located in Covent Garden in London, will be serving the home-brewed dessert under the name "Baby Gaga."

"The response has been amazing. People at first say it's disgusting because it's a bodily fluid, but so is cow's milk," said O'Connor. "People love it when they try it."

The Icecreamists say Baby Gaga will be on the menu as long as the supplies keep flowing

The artists who crossed the line

In Moscow last November Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolayev were arrested, handcuffed with plastic bags pulled over their heads and thrown in a police van.

The two men are part of Voina, a radical art collective that has infuriated the Russian authorities with a series of increasingly audacious stunts, and whose jailing has caused concern in Russia about a return to a Soviet-style censorship of the arts.

The group first came to prominence in February 2008, two days before the carefully choreographed elections that brought President Dmitry Medvedev to power. About 12 activists, one of whom was a pregnant woman, entered the Biology Museum and staged an orgy.

Meanwhile, the group's leader and chief ideologist, the bearded Alexei Plutser-Sarno, donned a top hat and unfurled a banner that said: "Fuck for the Teddy Bear Heir!" The slogan played on Mr Medvedev's surname, which is derived from the Russian word for "bear", and poked fun at what the group said were "farcical and pornographic elections" in which Mr Medvedev was to inherit Vladimir Putin's "throne". The group was charged with "disseminating pornography" and so began a life underground, where the core group of activists eschewed mobile phones and moved apartments frequently to evade the authorities.

The Biological Museum 29 Feb 2008




Inside the museum





Voina, the group





In the Hall of the State museum





Oleg and his wife having sex while he is shouting: "Bears will soon all die!" We must support the Bears! We will give them the energy of our bodies! Bear - a totem animal of ancient Slavs! "We must copulate in support of the teddy bear!"

















And they too started to have sexwhile talking about the bear who was an urgent need to save, protect and support.




In the hall of the museum appeared two other young couple: luxurious blonde with a magnificent bust and a mighty warrior of the Slavic form. Shouting some slogans on environmental and animal protection from the onslaught of the machinations of evil forces, they too began to fervent sex.






Two other participants joined in the orgy as another loving couple. In appearance they were quite decent people, but obsessed with the protection of the bear
