How To Distinguish Between Chinese And Japanese

Europeans and Americans tend to think that Asian all look the same. During World War II, some American soldiers were fighting against Japan in the war zone in China. They published a pocket guide for helping American soldiers to spot Japanese. This booklet has 75 pages where cartoonist Milton Caniff illustrated the differences between Chinese and Japanese by means of humorous method. This pocket guide was only printed once, in 1942.

This infographic from Huffington Post UK provides the kind of motivation former smokers need to stay on track and reach their short-term and long-term goals of staying tobacco-free.

7 Steps To A Flatter Belly By The Weekend

by Nina Kate

If you're sporting a baby bump after lunch every day - but you're definitely not pregnant - you may be a victim of the bloat. Usually caused by gas or food in the belly or intestines, bloating can turn your favorite skinny jeans into your worst enemy and make you want to hide in your oversized hoodie for the day. And if you're forced to wear a slim dress or - gasp - a swimsuit, the bloat can be downright mortifying. Luckily, there are some clever ways to stop bloating in its tracks and help you get a flatter belly, fast.

10 Amazing Extinct Animals

All of us have seen some animal or the other in our lifetime. But what about those animals that we’ve never seen simply because they existed before us or became extinct? This is the Top 10 Most Amazing Extinct Animals.

Boy With Record 31 Fingers And Toes

Ready to undergo an operation, the boy has a total of 31 fingers and toes, which outnumber the current world record of 25.

A living fossil is a living species (or clade) of organism that appears to be similar to a species otherwise known only from fossils, typically with no close living relatives. Normally the similarity is only apparent, between two different species, one extinct, the other extant. It is an informal non-scientific term, mostly used in the media. These species have survived major extinction events, and generally retain low taxonomic diversities. A species that successfully radiates (forming many new species after a possible genetic bottleneck) has become too successful to be considered a living fossil.

That's a short introduction so let’s get to the list...

9 Most Complex Roads In The World

Sure, it feels fantastic to traverse the vast stretches of the best roads in the world via adrenaline pumping speeds. How about a complicated road, one that twists and turns, or has downright congested traffic, or unforgiving terrain? They might give you a headache, but it sure feels good when you’ve conquered them. Here is the list of the world’s most complicated and dangerous roads. Some of these complicated mountain passes can be dangerous if not negotiated with utmost caution, while others are complicated sets of roads and bridges, erected to ensure a streamlined flow of traffic at busy junctions.

The megapodes, also known as incubator birds or mound-builders, are stocky, medium-large chicken-like birds with small heads and large feet in the family Megapodiidae. Their name literally means "large foot" (Greek: mega = large, poda = foot), and is a reference to the heavy legs and feet typical of these terrestrial birds. All are browsers, all but the Malleefowl occupy wooded habitats, and most are brown or black colored. Megapodes are superprecocial, hatching from their eggs in the most mature condition of any birds. They hatch with open eyes, bodily coordination and strength, full wing feathers and downy body feathers,and are able to run, pursue prey, and, in some species, fly on the same day they hatch.

10 Celebrities Who Attempted Suicide But Were Unsuccessful

by entrepreneurboss

Suicide – the attempt to take one’s own life is the manifestation of clinical depression in most people. People prone to suicidal thoughts and tendencies are generally under a lot of a stress with little or no outlet for their emotional turmoil; this brings us to the numerous suicides committed over the years by celebrities. Being in the gossip hungry, public eye and having their lives on display on a glass screen in every home can take its toll and it certainly does. Taking a look through these amazing fixtures in our culture and the attempts they made to take their own lives will make you will realize that the proverbial glitter is definitely not always gold.

Terrafugia TF-X: The Real Flying Car

You may want to know more about an earlier Terrafugia model via this link:

http://afkra.blogspot.com/2011/02/flying-car.html

Terrafugia, the Woburn, MA, company developing the Transition flying car, has plans for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) sibling. The proposed Terrafugia TF-X would be a tilt-rotor flying machine that would take off and land like a helicopter. Instead of a runway, the TF-X could use a helipad or parking lot. That’s important because Terrafugia’s devices aren’t so much flying cars as roadable aircraft that take you from the airport to your destination a few miles away. The closer you land to your destination, the better. Don’t sell your Cessna 400 just yet. The flying car is a decade away and will likely cost on the high side of a half-million dollars. Maybe a million.

Top 10 Biggest Meteor Strikes In History

By Jeff Danelek

Our beloved blue planet gets pelted with debris from space all the time but, since most of it burns up or break apart in the atmosphere, it’s usually not a problem. Even when one does make it to the ground, they are rarely much larger than a small rock, minimizing the damage they’re capable of inflicting. Then, of course, there is that once-in-an-eon occasion where something very very large makes it through intact, and this can really do some damage. Fortunately, such hits are extremely rare, but they are worth noting, if only to serve as reminders of the power of the stars to undo the normal routine here on Earth, with little more than a few minutes’ warning. So where - and when - did these monsters hit? Let’s take a look at the geological records...

11 Phone Terms Your Kids Will Never Know

by Sam Greenspan

I was talking to a friend recently and mentioned 10-10-220.

My guess is that a lot of people reading this have no idea what that is. For a brief window in the '90s, companies found some phone system loophole. If you dialed their special number - 10-10-220 is the one that stuck in my head, but there were others - you would bypass your own long distance carrier for one that was theoretically cheaper. As we were talking about it, I realized how confusing that speech would be in the future. Not because of the convoluted mess of numbers like 10-10-220 but because I'd also have to explain the concept of "long distance." I put together this list of 11 phone terms, besides long distance and 10-10-220, your kids will never know.

After being arrested for attempted armed robbery, Christopher R. Voorhis, pictured, admitted that he was intoxicated, had a knife and was bent on stealing beer from a BP station, according to the report of his court appearance in Ocala, Fla. But Voorhis, 26, doesn't understand why the store owner beat him with a pipe, saying, "I was just trying to steal a beer, not money." The owner who wielded the pipe says that Voorhis did demand money. Voorhis says he was beaten about six times on his body, chased out of the store and the owner clobbered his car a few times, so hard that an airbag popped out. Seems Vooris thinks robbers should only be pursued indoors saying, "I understand the man was upset, but he could've stopped when I left the store" and "I thought he went overboard."

The Man Who Fought In WWII With A Sword And Bow

By Emily Upton

Running into battle armed with a broadsword, bow, and quiver of arrows was perfectly acceptable if you were fighting in the Hundred Years’ War or fending off some orcs on Middle Earth. But when it comes to World War II, such medieval weaponry looks like child’s play next to the technology of the time. A sword isn’t the most likely of defences against rifles and tanks. However, for John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, nicknamed “Mad Jack,” there was nothing he’d rather arm himself with than a trusty sword and bow.

5 Most Mysterious Places On Earth

1. Easter Island

Off the coast of Chile, Easter Island doesn’t boast any stories of people disappearing or black magic. It is, however, the home of these wicked warrior statues, some up to 50 feet high. The real question about this island is who carved them and how they got there. What mysterious force do you think made them appear? I guess the only thing to do is to go ask one of the 200 native people living on the island. My bet, though, is that communicating with them might prove fruitless considering there is virtually no knowledge of who they are originally.

Dumbest Criminals of All Time (Part 3)

Three men were arrested for allegedly kidnapping a New Jersey man and driving him nearly 1,200 miles across the country. But apparently the thugs had captured the wrong man, one with the same name. Douglas Stangeland, 46 (pictured), Andrew Wadel, 21, and Lonnie Swarnes, 44, allegedly abducted Jeff Muller, 59, as he was opening his pet supply store in January 2010. According to Muller, the men shot him with a stun gun, bound and stuffed him into a car and then took off for their home state of Missouri. The already-botched plot spun completely out of control when a convenience store owner saw Muller trying to escape and called cops. Vernon County, Mo., police, who call the men "bumbling idiots" say the kidnapping may be connected to a Missouri home invasion in November 2009, when the same three suspects armed and masked allegedly shot the president of a construction company as they hunted for someone by the name of Jeff Muller in connection with a "business arrangement." Authorities say Muller seems to be innocent, with no known ties to the kidnappers. Investigators are examining the possibility he was a victim of mistaken identity. It's still unclear if the intended target even lived in New Jersey. Stangeland, Wadel, and Swarnes were extradited back to New Jersey and charged with kidnapping, which carries a minimum of 20 years behind bars.

Mount Kelimutu, with its multi-colored crater lakes, is the amazing natural phenomenon in central Flores Island of Indonesia. Kelimutu is a passively degassing stratovolcano capped by three crater lakes containing exotic fluids and whose physico-chemical expressions have changed dramatically through the years. Three crater lakes are located on the eastern summit of Kelimutu. Each of the lakes has a distinctive physical structure, a unique geochemical and hydrothermal regime, and a particular historical sequence of color changes controlled by changes in physico-chemical conditions. The visitor is never quite sure what color the lakes will be when they reach the top as they vary significantly. Unlike other crater lakes where the color variation can be predicted, this is not the case with these three lakes. The colors that you can see here are blue, green and black (and they predominate) yet the lakes also change to white, red and blue too.

When Leigh Ann Moody, a Jacksonville, Ala., veterinary assistant arrived at work in April 2010, she made a bizarre discovery. It wasn't a stray animal. Moody allegedly found Roman Angel Salinas (pictured) passed out under a blanket in the veterinary clinic's break room. Police say Salinas broke in and shot himself up with Xylazine, an animal sedative. He also made himself at home, eating food from the office refrigerator and watching porn on a laptop, according to cops. "He took one of our laptops and was watching porn and taking pictures of it with our camera," Moody said. "The laptop was closed at first, and we thought maybe he had been looking up how to take the drugs, but then we opened it, and nope! That's not what he was doing." But shooting up proved to be the dumbest move of all, because, according to Moody, the Xylazine could have easily killed him. Salinas, 18, is charged with burglary.

Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect who reportedly exposed himself at the Bucks County Association for the Blind's bookstore around 2 p.m. on May 4, 2012. Reuters reports that, Pennsylvania law makes it illegal to expose one's privates if that person "knows or should know that this conduct is likely to offend, affront or alarm." Was this criminal mastermind aware of the statutes, and did he premeditate not only his crime, but also his alibi? Or did he cross that fine line from brilliance to stupidity when he failed to realize that not everyone in a bookstore for the blind would actually be blind? We may never know because the woman he flashed was not, in fact, blind, and he quickly ran off. Police have asked anyone who sees the person that fits this description to contact them: a skinny black man, about 5-foot-10, 35 to 45 years old, and wearing a black track suit.

According to overbearing parents and politicians who are so hopelessly out of touch, violent and sex-filled movies will turn you into a homicidal anarchist, or god will strike you dead from sheer blasphemy.
