20 Amazing Pictures Of Camouflaged Animals

"Nature red in tooth and claw", said Alfred Lord Tennyson. For, out there in the vast and unforgiving expanses of the wild, life is simply currency to be circulated amongst its participants. Yet, the natural order does not always entail the ultimate triumph of size, speed and muscle power. In fact, over the billion years of Earth's evolution, it is the the smaller creatures that have somehow managed to scrape through and survive, while the gigantic and magnificent are often interred and ultimately converted into fossil fuel, ironically, to power modern human ambitions. One of the techniques that have held the following often overlooked survivors and hunters in good stead is the ability to become one with its surroundings. The fascinating and often deadly trick of camouflage is one of Nature's most perfect genetic ornamentations, and these 20 creatures have mastered the art.

The thought of going to prison is enough to scare the living daylights out of anyone, especially with the horror stories that you can read in newspapers and books and those you see on TV. Stabbings, murders, violence, gang rape and any number of other horrors are all widely broadcast by people that have spent time on the inside. Of course, they’re not your run of the mill prison stories because you don’t tend to hear much about the ones that don’t see any action from one year to the next, but the same names do keep coming up time and time again. Certain prisons, both old and new, are notorious for violence and some easily out perform others in the horror stories stakes. The 10 worst prisons in the world are listed below. Read ‘em and weep!

5. RMS Titanic
Death Toll: 1,517
RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. On the night of 14 April 1912, during her maiden voyage, Titanic struck an iceberg, and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. At the time of her launching in 1912, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, ranking it as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most infamous. The Titanic used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and was popularly believed to be “unsinkable” – indeed, in a 1910 White Star Line brochure advertising the Titanic; it was claimed that she was “designed to be unsinkable”. It was a great shock to many that despite the advanced technology and experienced crew; the Titanic still sank with a great loss of life. The media frenzy about Titanic’s famous victims, the legends about what happened on board the ship, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck in 1985 by a team led by Robert Ballard have made Titanic persistently famous in the years since.

13 Future Darwin Award Winners

Original source : http://koolfuninfo.blogspot.com
Posted : October 2013
Author : Kashif Masood

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions circa 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by self-selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own (unnecessarily foolish) actions. The project became more formalized with the creation of a website in 1993, and followed up by a series of books starting in 2000, authored by Wendy Northcutt. The criterion for the awards states, "In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival.

Can This Type Of Fish Reproduce After They’ve Died??

Original source : http://craynews.com
Posted : June 2013
Author : Maria Caballero

Talk about a deadbeat dad.
Male guppies are able reproduce for at least 10 months after they die, according to new research conducted by the University of California, Riverside. That’s because female guppies have the ability to store sperm inside their bodies, saving it up until the optimal time for fertilization. Since female guppies typically live much longer than males - 2 years as compared to 3-4 months - this means that male guppies can continue to impregnate females long after their deaths.

The last sentence a 3-year-old Syrian said before he died: “I’m gonna tell God everything”
And that’s equally haunting. It’s impossible to verify but the picture tells a story about the pain and suffering that exists in Syria right now. There are many in the media who would like to say this is because president Bashar al-Assad is a ruthless killer. And that’s half true.  Like other government leaders – he has engaged in war and with that war has come the death of tens of thousands and the displacement of over 1 million Syrians now living in refugee camps.
