Man travels across Japan to spell out his marriage proposal via GPS
























What Japanese Yasushi Takahashi did has raised the bar for the statement marriage proposal. 

By Alyssa Bereznak | Yahoo – Wed, Dec 3, 2014

Talk about a drawn-out engagement.


Japanese man Yasushi Takahashi traveled through his home country, tracking his path via GPS, so he could write out a proposal — complete with an arrow-struck heart — to his girlfriend.


She, of course, said yes.

Though he quit his job to make the trip in 2008, his home movie of it recently surfaced online. The feat is captured in a seven-minute slideshow of various landmarks that Takahashi visited during his travels (above). Not only is the film’s beginning shot like some sort of classic French new wave film, but his captions—often written in charmingly broken English—are strangely poetic and peppered with emoticons. 

For instance, he begins with the vague message: “This is not a ‘record,’ but a ‘document’ that a life with ambition run through a moment,” and then explains “my heart is … adventure to unknown, mass of passion, and love for traveling.” Other gems include: “The road leads endlessly toward the horizon,” “It was snowing in spite of October,” and “I had fresh sea urchin … so good (^ ^).”


This is not the first outlandish, tech-enabled marriage proposal to grace the Internet. And Takahashi is not the first person to use GPS to draw something clever. But it’s raised the bar for the statement proposal. In fact, you should definitely passive-aggressively bring this up when your boyfriend proposes. Something along the lines of “Yes, the dinner at Chez Panisse was wonderful, and I loved the moonlight walk, but, you know, Brian, some boyfriends travel the length of Japan to express their love for a woman.”



He may be fat but he has something special lives within his body and only he can do it. Girls are notattracted to him but rather steal like what X-Men villains Magneto.

Dubai-based "fashion photographer, actor, poet" Omar Borkan Al Gala has stirred speculation that he is one of the three men after posting a link to the deportation story on his Facebook page along with a suggestive emoticon.




We know infidelity – lust and love – can all feel intoxicating. It’s called dopamine. And that is what is released and exists in very high levels during new lust. And it’s very addictive. But is it really the case? Does this really cause infidelity? Some say that to make a relationship work, couples need to communicate. When the communication breaks down, and then the passion and the intimacy disappears for whatever reason, then that’s when the trouble starts.

In this video, passersby film 2 girls beating another, while a man tries to stop them. Apparently, the girl sitting on the pavement with her head down was the mistress of the man, and the 2 girls were his wife and daughter. As they slapped and kicked the woman, the man was the only one trying to stop them, all other people at the scene simply looked on.

At one point, the man even carried the mistress and tried to save her from the two enraged women. Netizens are divided about the video. Some say that the two women should have not resorted to violence, and some say that the mistress deserves to be treated that way.

The sad truth is: the mistress is the one that’s sitting at home lonely in emotional trauma. But the husband’s actually going home a happier, brighter man.



If a bicycle and a Ferrari go on a race, whose side are you going to be on? For most people, the Ferrari would be the obvious choice but for a bike to dare a race against one of the world’s fastest cars, it must have some tricks up its sleeves, errrrr, wheels, right?


So, in this race, I would be putting my money on the bike.

The Awesome Bike and the Zooming Ferrari
A Ferrari 430 Scuderia with 650 horsepower could easily zoom along the track, leaving lesser cars biting the dust. This is one of the reasons why the brand is favored by many; though not all can afford the hefty price tags.

In a race against other cars, you would know the Ferrari has one of the highest chances of winning.

So, in a race against a bicycle, it would be crazy, very crazy to bet on the bike…unless there is something special about this daring two-wheel vehicle.

Watch the Video of the Amazing Race



The Rocket Bike
The bike beat the Ferrari! Did you find the video crazily awesome?
Hitting speeds of 207 mph (333 km/h), the bicycle quite literally left the Ferrari coughing in its wake as it passed through the smoke emitted from the rockets that propelled the amazing two-wheeled vehicle. It is the craziest race I have seen so far.
So, what’s the secret?

Designer Arnold Neracher equipped the bike of cyclist François Gissy with 3 small rockets, revealed to be powered by hydrogen peroxide. The bike was modified for form and function.


The rider would be blasted off the bike if he sits the regular way, so more modifications were also done for a stream-lined sitting position. What amazed me more about this rocket bike was the way Gissy was able to fully take control of the balance even while it was running breakneck speeds.

Re-defining a Bike
However, the race sparked a debate whether to still consider Gissy’s bike as a bicycle when it was already powered by a rocket or place it in a different category altogether. To solve the problem, many simply said it should be called a rocket bike. It is certainly not a regular bike but the rocket bike is still a bike. Yep. It sounds as crazy as that.

Gissy and Neracher have re-defined biking, taking it to a whole new level. I’m quite sure we would soon be seeing more of these awesome bikes from race enthusiasts across the world.


He used to be known as "The Eight-Limbed Boy" - but now, Deepak Paswaan looks like any other boy following dramatic surgery. Deepak, seven, was taunted as a "devil" and "a freak" due to a parasitic twin jutting from his stomach. Born in Bihar, India, Deepak who has a parasitic twin spent his young life carrying around the under-developed legs and arms of what would have been his twin in a normal pregnancy.
The appendage made it look like seven-year-old Deepak had four extra limbs. But in June 2010 top doctors at the Fortis Hospital Bangalore agreed to operate on Deepak's parasitic twin for free, saving his impoverished family the £50,000 it would have cost otherwise. Deepak beamed: "I can run faster than my two elder brothers - before I could never keep up. I really like my new body. It's much more fun. I am very happy."







His close relatives are pretty worried about him.
His mother and his town folks tried to convince him to stop doing it, but to no avail.
He never listens to anyone of them.
He also said that even if he wanted to stop, he just couldn’t.
He has a very strong desire to do it.


A Japanese man born months before the Wright brothers carried out the first human flight was recognised Wednesday as the world's oldest male at the age of 111.

Sakari Momoi, a former high school principal who was born on February 5, 1903, received a certificate from Guinness World Records confirming the achievement.

Dressed in a black suit, white shirt and silver tie, Momoi told assembled media at the Tokyo care home where he lives that he did not plan on going anywhere just yet.

"I want to live for about two more years," he said in soft voice.

Momoi bagged the title after the death in June of American Alexander Imich, who was born a day earlier.

The recognition means Japan is now home to the world's oldest man and woman, with 116-year-old Misao Okawa of Osaka taking the female honours.

Except for poor hearing, Momoi is in good health and enjoys reading books and watching sumo on television, according to local press.

He was born in Minamisoma, Fukushima, an area that was badly hit by the deadly 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami in 2011 that triggered the world worst nuclear crisis in a generation.

According to Guinness, he moved to Saitama, north of Tokyo, many years ago.

Japan, known for the longevity of its people, was previously home to the oldest man ever to have lived -- Jiroemon Kimura, who died in June 2013 at the age of 116.

Around a quarter of Japan's population of 128 million is aged 65 or older.

The figure, already one of the highest proportions in the world, is expected to rise to around 40 percent over coming decades.


In this Saturday, Dec. 4, 2010 file photo, German Rolf Buchholz shows his face with 168 piercings as he visits the 20th Tattoo Convention in Berlin.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Dubai nightclub that hoped to feature a man who holds the world record for having the most piercings says he was refused entry to the Gulf city because of security concerns.

Cirque Le Soir said in an emailed statement Sunday that the club did its best to get Rolf Buchholz into the country on Friday but their efforts were unsuccessful. The German man has 453 piercings, including many in his face and genitals, according to Guinness World Records.

Buchholz had been scheduled to appear at the nightclub in the Fairmont Hotel. The club opened in Dubai in 2011, and like a sister venue in London promises an over-the-top circus atmosphere to wow late-night partygoers.

Police and immigration officials at the airport did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


A frog- like a baby was born on Nepal two years ago but died after an half hour of his birth. I pity the baby; his father didn't care about the baby's death. The father parading the poor freak in a pot around the streets. On 2006, this bizarre- looking baby was born in Charikot, the headquarters of Dolakha district, attracting a huge number of onlookersto witness the astonishing sight. 



The neck-less baby with its head almost totally sunk into the upper part of the body with extraordinary large eyeballs literally popping out of the eye- sockets, was born to Nir Bahadur Karki and Suntali Karki at the Gaurishnkar Hospital in Charikot. The Karki Couple is a permanent resident of Dolakha's Bhirkot VDC.

The bizarre baby, however, died after half an hour of its birth, Suntali, the mother, informed. It was taken to the hospital after its death. The news about such a baby being brought to the hospital spread like wildfire and there were hundreds gathered at the hospital to have a look. The police had to be deployed to control the crowd.





The baby weighed 2 kg at birth and was a born after the normal nine-month gestation period. Suntali, already a mother of two normal daughters, was not suffering from any illness during the pregnancy. Nir Bahadur, the father says he does not feel any remorse for the newly- born baby's death. " I am happy that nothing happened to my wife." he said.




















A quiet woman wearing a flowing, black dress, and mysteriously strolling along busy highways in parts of U.S. Southeast and Midwest has the curious wondering who she is and spurred a social media site to document her trek.


She has been dubbed the "Woman in Black," by TV stations, police, and followers on the Web, including those on a Facebook page where she has been tracked on a nearly 500-mile journey with a black bag and walking stick in hand that has taken her from Ranger, Georgia, to Athens, Ohio, since July 18.


"If you meet this woman, please, offer her a drink, a meal, whatever it may be you feel she needs. Be hospitable. Be kind," said a post on Facebook page, which has 19,000 followers.


Several television stations have covered the" Woman in Black" when she has passed through, reporting that some believe the woman, who rarely speaks, is on a religious mission.


An NBC affiliate in Sullivan, County, Tennessee, reported she told deputies there that she is from an Islamic nation and worked at the Pentagon. Deputies said neither was true.


Raymond Poles told Reuters he is the woman's brother, identifying her as Elizabeth Poles, 56, a U.S Army veteran, mother of two children and a widow from Motts, Alabama.


Elizabeth Poles had been receiving treatment at Veteran's Affairs hospitals to deal with the deaths of her husband in 2008 and her father in 2009, he said.


"Her and my dad were really close," he said.


Poles spent time in VA hospital in North Carolina before moving near her brother in Phenix City, in Alabama, about four years ago to be close to her family.


For the first three months, Poles was "doing great," going to church on Sundays and to her regular appointments at the nearby VA hospital, he said.


"She got to where she started walking from the (hospital) about a mile away, he said." " She then started just popping up at my house and then one night she came over and just started cursing.


Poles recalled one Sunday when his sister shaved her head and refused to go to church. Since then, Elizabeth has vanished for months at a time. Poles said his sister is loving, kind- hearted woman.


"I wish she would come back and let us helps her," he said.
