Sorry seems to be the hardest word and yet one that finds the most common usage. It is ‘Thank You’ that has strangely made an exit from contemporary politeness. Among the hundreds of thousands of ways to communicate our gratitude, the Dutch duo of Joachim Baan and Hugo Verweij have stumbled upon little business card sized thank you notes. “Thank You Too” is a small pack of 30 cards, 5 postcards and a stamp. All these can be made use of on variety of occasions to express the appreciation to known and strangers alike. Hand the cards in person or leave them at strategic places, either way your appreciation is sure to be communicated. Check out their website for purchases and a host of other useful and attractive features. And yes I’d be expecting a thank you note for this bit note pronto.

What you’re seeing in this picture is either a very mean joke God played on these poor kitties or some expert Photoshop job! Yes indeed, these kittens are running around with only 2 legs! How is that possible? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe something went wrong in the genes and all that scientific jazz or maybe it’s a picture hoax! Whatever you choose to believe, it is a pretty interesting thing to see.

Do they make love in space? Space Sex true for the future http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/do-they-make-love-in-space-space-sex-possible-claims-researchers/ http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/do-they-make-love-in-space-space-sex-possible-claims-researchers/#comments Shilpidpathak making-out-in-space_27JSV_5965

Guys, this one is not official yet, but space researchers claim that love-making in space is something no one can deny. With almost now equal number of men and women going on long space missions, it is very much possible that they have been indulging in sex in space! But how, is a big question. Taking into account, the gravitational factor, holding along with the partner must be a difficult task. Though, it would be a lot of fun to make out without holding on to anything but each other and bounce their way to pleasure!

Jokes aside, Jason Kring of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, who studies the psychological effects of long-duration space missions, puts in vehemently:

To say that astronauts are some superior beings who cannot have interests in any kind of sexual feelings for a prolonged period ... I just don’t buy it. Are we going to sterilize our crew members before sending them to Mars?

NASA, however, downplays the possibility of sex in space, but it does not deny it either. With the rising number of space missions and space tourists, it is not a very distant possibility. Renowned writer, Laura Woodmansee, in her book, Sex in Space (CG Publishing Inc., 2006), has given a sexual guide for those who wish to make out in the space. She says that positions like the modified missionary position and the seated position with ‘interlocking Y legs,’ might work wonderfully in space. She has also suggested the use of props like a shared elastic waistband or tethers to hold one partner to a comfortable and stable position!

The big question, however, which pops in to my head is, if human beings are allowed to procreate in space, will their offspring be super human?

If you are itching for fun in your rather boring life, pack your bags and get on this bridge. This rickety old bridge is going to get your blood pumping like never-before; guaranteed. It looks really cool, with the amazing landscapes that surround it, the crystal clear water that is flowing below. But looks are deceptive right? The bridge is really dangerous, If you are daring enough to set foot on it. The question is what degree of boredom can actually drive you to do THIS?

You know how some garments claim to be so comfy that wearing them makes you feel like you’re wearing nothing at all. Well, this pair of “revealing” shorts are kinda the same but only a lot more literally. Apparently the design a modern replica of David’s statue sculpted by Michelangelo and has a naughtily print on the fly area that could get you into a whole lot of trouble with the police if you were ever caught showing them off in public. The shorts come in two designs and let you chose your level of offensiveness for under $15.

Phallic ‘Grecian’ Chandelier belongs in the Playboy mansion http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/phallic-grecian-chandelier-belongs-in-the-playboy-mansion/ http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/phallic-grecian-chandelier-belongs-in-the-playboy-mansion/#comments Asmita penis-chandelier-copy_26CKx_1333

Whoever thought up this Penis Chandelier really needs to go see a shrink about their phallus-obsession issues. The thing is brilliantly naughty no doubt but exactly where can a normal person have this light fixture installed without being given “the look” by offended visitors is really the proverbial million-dollar question. Perhaps if you were an oil-baron or even a sheikh with a whole harem-full of beautiful “consorts” that demand to be entertained with suggestively provocative sculptures or something. Anywho, we really don’t expect to see this chandelier being installed in the regular suburban home with to without kids anytime soon (unless the 70’s lifestyle makes a grand comeback and they find a quick cure for AIDS). But we won’t be entirely surprised if Hugh Hefner showed an interest in it and had the suggestive light fixed up at his now-famous pad.

You really get to know a guy’s got no life when he tries to break a Guinness world record by trying to put an elephant inside a bubble! Bubble artist Fan Yang, who has previously thrilled audiences with tricks like smoke-filled bubbles, spinning bubbles and a bubble carousel, attempted to break into the record books for a staggering 15th time by trying to get an elephant inside a giant soap bubble. This was Yang’s second attempt at the feat after his previous attempt last month was canceled by Discovery Science Center after animal rights protesters claimed the trick would be demeaning to the majestic beast. The centre itself claimed it wanted to make sure public safety would not be jeopardized with the trick before giving the record breaking attempt a go-ahead. Though we do not as yet know whether Yang has been able to break the previous record or not, but given that he already has managed to get 100 people inside a single gigantic bubble on the Oprah Winfrey Show this January, we’re optimistic that he has already secured the terrific feat in the book.

What do you do when you are missing your counterpart? Well, guess you end up calling her, or mailing her or SMS her. But does that ease the pain separation brings along even if that’s just for a few hours. I guess not! Yeah! You can always while away in sleep but what if I tell you that sleep can be made more comfortable with this Hizamakura “Lap Pillow”, which, of course, is weird.

The skirt color can be either black or red and the soft touch of the pillow I am sure will comfort you. This pillow has been made in Polyurethane and measures 285mm × 590mm × 285mm.

Tongue talk: Tongue bottle opener that talks! http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/tongue-talk-tongue-bottle-opener-that-talks/ http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/tongue-talk-tongue-bottle-opener-that-talks/#comments apabritabasu bottle opener

Bottle openers are handy things to have. Without them we would have to rely on the harder ways of opening bottles. The latest in the bottle opener products is the ‘talking tongue’ bottle opener! — indeed, it’s a very bizarre gadget.

I’m sure that you are probably wondering curious about what kind of talk the tongue bottle opener talks. Anyway, the fact that the tongue opener smoothly opens the bottle is probably more appealing than the fact that it actually talks. Who knows what it’s going to talk about. The opener is very bright colored and is offered in pink and red.

The tongue opener manufacturer stresses on the fact that you don’t have to push any buttons to make the tongue talk. It will start yapping by itself. Nevertheless, this cool opener is available to us for a price of $10. So, if you have ten bucks to spare you can spend it on the opener. You won’t regret your decision unless of course you get tired of all the tongue talk.

American sets world record, stays with 87 rattlers in bath tub! http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/american-sets-world-record-by-staying-with-87-rattle-snakes/ http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/american-sets-world-record-by-staying-with-87-rattle-snakes/#comments srinidhi bibby in the tub to attain record
Rattlesnakes rank among the most poisonous reptiles in the world. Here is a man who spends a complete 45 minutes with not one or two but 87 of them in a bathtub! It is a unlikely world record and bizzare thing to do for any normal man but for Jackie Bibby aka The Texas Snake Man this is just another day in his life.

On November 5, Bibby spent 45 minutes inside a trasparent bathtub along with 87 rattlesnakes. He broke his own previous record by 12 snakes, just in time for the Guinness World Records Day, which is being celebrated on Thursday, November 8. The feat was performed in front of a Guinness official who certified making Bibby achieve one more record.

A visibly happy Bibby said the snakes crawled under his arms, between his legs and whereever they could slither. Luckily none of them bit him.

Bibby minutes after coming out of his record making bathtub said,

They can go wherever they want as long as they don’t start biting. The key to not getting bitten is for me to stay still. Rapid movement scares a rattlesnake. If you move real slow and gentle, that doesn’t seem to bother them.

It was a bizzare spectacle as Bibby sat comfortably with pillow propped behind him in the dry tub with the rattlers. He wore regular clothes, and the snakes were wild and poisonous. Bibby’s assistants placed the snakes inside the tub one at a time and removed them one at a time after the record was set.

The transparent bathtub was custom designed for Bibby by the Guinness records organization several years ago to shoot a television programme on his record. Since then Bibby has used the tub for subsequent attempts to break the record.

Bibby said,

I have set several world records in that bathtub.

The latest record is Bibby’s biggest yet, last year he set a Guinness record by simultaneously holding 10 rattlesnakes by their tails in his mouth. That must have been quite a mouthful. But Bibby is not satisfied, he said he plans to break that record by squeezing in an 11th sometime during the next week.

Bibby who has starred in several movie, TV and theater roles such as Hostage on Plane, Hillbilly, Liquor Store Owner and Irate Bar Patron etc has several unrecognized records Apart from the certified records. These records include climbing into a sleeping bag head first with 20 rattlesnakes inside and going in feet first with 112 in the sleeping bag etc.

According to Bibby, he does these death defying snake acts and acts so that he is always in the limelight. Grinning at the all the attention he was receiving, Bibby said,

I do it for the attention. I like being on television. I signed autographs for 45 minutes today.

What a way to achieve fame!!!

Da Vinciand#8217;s Last Supper is online: The Holy Grail goes digital! http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/da-vincis-last-supper-is-online-the-holy-grail-goes-digital/ http://www.everythingweird.com/entry/da-vincis-last-supper-is-online-the-holy-grail-goes-digital/#comments attitude the last supper

It is arguably history’s most controversial painting & along with the magical smile of Mona Lisa happens to be the most talked about art piece to have been ever brushed on the canvas. It is indeed amazing that Leonardo Da Vinci has kept hundreds & thousands of thrill seekers, scholars & in fact the entire world interested for several centuries in his paintings. It probably is a fitting tribute to the man’s genius & his creative artistry. From the great man’s vibrant brush came the most famous work of all, which left more questions than answers.

“The Last Supper” will forever be shrouded with mystery. While some will endlessly formulate conspiracy theories from the paint on the back halls of the dining hall at Santa Maria Delle Grazie, others will just marvel at the brilliance of each stroke. Now the famous scene where Jesus disclosed to his disciples that one of them would betray their leader is online & available at your finger tips. Italian tech firm, HAL9000, has newly posted a 16 billion pixels high resolution image of the image that virtually gave Mary Magdalene’s believers a major boost. (Before the self proclaimed experts tell me about the title, I know the grail is visible missing from Da Vinci’s work)

The painting which has been studied dissected & has been the focus of many a debate has faced many restoration problems, since the first few decades passed after it was painted. While Da Vinci used a unique method to do this mural, the method proved to be disastrous for the longevity of the piece. It had to endure several wars & some renovation that hurt the painting due to the improper methods used. After 3 decades of intense Renovation in late 90’s, the painting is now back in decent shape.

While tourists visiting Milan do have to book a good month in advance to see it, it still receives booking demands 5 times the capacity. The mural is only allowed to be viewed for 20 minutes by each viewer. (The way most of my friends look at art, they could complete taking a look at 40 paintings in that time) So this is a great opportunity for all those conspiracy theory hunters & art lovers to watch the painting that intrigues them.

But I’m a skeptic. So I actually searched for the link & went to the site. Their claims are real! It does work & it’s great. You can vary the resolution & zoom. But one day I still plan to see it in person along with the fabulous tour of Louvre. Till then, this is just an appetizer. Is it Mary Magdalene or is it John to the right of Jesus? Why did someone as knowledgeable as Da Vinci forget the Grail? Or is there a Holy Grail symbol somewhere? You decide people, now you have the chance.

I almost forgot here is the link for the actual site showing the image. Click Here & have fun.

There is no dearth of weird designer items. Take the latest Yohanan Siskindovich’s rocking couch for example (as shown in the above picture). The rocking couch, just like its strange design, has been funnily christened as ‘Groovy Banana’.

A roll-up pod pad is mounted atop the ‘Groovy Banana’ to provide utmost comfort while you rock.

Are there any taker of this unique rocking couch where not only you but also you can take your blanket, books and even kids to rock with you?

How do you define the word ‘weird’? As per me, it could be anything which is uncanny or bizarre. Take a look! Amusing? Take a look again! Hey, don’t be scared, there is nothing murderous there.

Well, this is yet another thing that is weird according to me, needless to mention I would like to scare off all my friends with the help of it and thus, finally ill be able to square all the debts of the pranks they had played upon me.

To make you easy, here is the secret, the feet are made of plastic and the small board has been settled over two such pair of legs both facing the opposite sides. Would love to own it, what about you? Are you game?

Imagine a giant shopping cart that would give you the liberty to stuff it with all your friends and v-room past the chequered flag at amazing speed! Awesome sight, isn’t it? Well, this may be amazing but not unbelievable. The recent California Hot Rod Reunion was graced by one such desirable vehicle.

A bunch of drag race fans decided to turn this snail-paced cart into a personal speedwagon of their own. The cart featured here is equipped with a Mopar V8 engine and a TorqueFlite.

I’m simply amazed at the speed at which the human brain can translate ideas into reality.

What’s next...?
