5 World’s Largest Things

5. World’s Largest Serving Of Fried Chicken

Kentucky Fried Chicken, a unit of Yum! Brands, Inc. served 2,493.35 lbs. of fried chicken to the citizens of Louisville – setting the new world record for the Largest serving of fried chicken during the celebration of KFC’s 70th anniversary of its Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spices.




4. World’s Largest Chocolate Bar

It is a chocolate lover’s dream. Armenian company Grand Candy unveiled the world’s largest ever -chocolate bar — a 10-inch-thick slab weighing in at 9,720 pounds and measuring 18.4 feet by 9-feet. In a televised ceremony, representatives of Guinness World Records measured the dark-chocolate bar and handed a document to company managers certifying it as the new record-holder.
3. World’s Largest Arthropod

Hail Crabzilla! The Japanese Spider Crab is the biggest arthropod on Earth–their legs are believed to grow up to 12 feet long. But since they live at such great depths (typically 1,000 feet down or so) a full grown spider crab has yet to be caught. So for now, we’ll have to make due with the 5 foot long Crabzilla (that’s what it’s called–I didn’t make it up!), one of the largest known crabs in the planet.

2. World’s Largest Goldfish

It might look like an enormously generous fairground prize. But no goldfish bowl in the world could contain this catch. The orange koi carp weighs 30lb – the same as an average three-year-old girl – and is thought to be one of the largest of its kind ever captured.
1. World’s Largest Human Rainbow

On September 18, 2004, over 31,000 students, faculty, staff and alumni of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines broke the record previously held by the Maltese. They used the human rainbow to celebrate the university’s centennial, which was from 1904 to 2004, and to highlight the signing of the Declaration of Peace which will be submitted to the United Nations.
This beat the previous effort of 2003, when 11,750 individuals assembled in Floriana, Malta, to break the record.

Most Amazing Mushrooms

5. The Brain mushroom (Gyromitra esculenta)

Gyromitra esculenta, one of several species of fungi known as false morels, is an ascomycete fungus from the genus Gyromitra, widely distributed across Europe and North America. It normally sprouts in sandy soils under coniferous trees in spring and early summer. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped cap dark brown in colour which can reach 10 cm high and 15 cm wide, perched on a stout white stipe up to 6 cm (2.4 in) high. Although potentially fatal if eaten raw, Gyromitra esculenta is a popular delicacy in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the upper Great Lakes region of North America. Although popular in some districts of the eastern Pyrenees, it is prohibited from sale to the public in Spain. It may be sold fresh in Finland, but it must be accompanied by warnings and instructions on correct preparation. It is eaten in omelettes, soups, or sautéed in Finnish cuisine. Although it is still commonly parboiled before

preparation, recent evidence suggests that even this procedure may not make the fungus entirely safe, thus raising concerns of risk even when prepared properly.

4. The Bleeding Tooth fungus (Hydnellum pecki)

 Allow me to introduce to you one of the more unusual members of Kingdom Fungi, the Bleeding Tooth Fungus, or Hydnellum peckii which goes by various names often referring to juice or blood. This fungus can be found in North America where it is more common in the Pacific Northwest and resides mostly in coniferous forests. The Bleeding Tooth also makes appearances in Europe and has recently been discovered in both Iran and Korea. Upon a first glimpse of the bleeding tooth fungus, one may dismiss the ruby-red liquid as the blood of some poor forest creature splattered across the white mushroom cap. When inspected more closely, it becomes obvious that the fungus is oozing liquid through its own small pores.
3. The Giant puffball (Calvatia Gigantea)

 The giant puffball, Calvatia gigantea, is easily recognized by its size and shape. Typical specimens are about the size of a soccer ball, and more or less round. However, it can be much larger (a 5-foot, 50-pound specimen is on record!), and its shape can be more “blob-ish” than round, especially when it attains enormous sizes. But it is never shaped like an inverted pear, since it lacks the sterile base portion common to many other puffballs.
2. The Devil’s Cigar (Chorioactis) – world’s rarest fungi

 A star-shaped mushroom, called the Devil’s Cigar (Chorioactis geaster) is one of the world’s rarest fungi. It’s also known as the Texas star. These fungi had been detected only in central Texas, two remote locations in Japan, and most recently in the mountains of Nara. The Devil’s Cigar is a dark brown cigar-shaped capsule that transforms into a tan-coloured star when it splits open to release its spores. It is also one of only a few known fungi that produce a distinct whistle sound when releasing its spores.
1. Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)

 Trametes versicolor, often called the “turkey tail,” has the dubious distinction of being the only member of the forest fungal fowl community not named for the full bird, but a feathery fraction. However, the chicken of the woods and the hen of the woods look nothing at all like chickens or hens, while the turkey tail does look (vaguely) like a turkey’s tail. Who started this clucking menagerie of mushroom monikers, anyway?

Top 5 Things You Won’t Believe Governments Have Banned

5. China: Game Consoles

Most game consoles are made in China and Chinese prisoners are often forced to play World of Warcraft so the government can collect their loot and sell it to other players, which is why it seems so utterly bizarre that China doesn’t allow the sale of gaming consoles. The ban took place back in 2000, when the government expressed its concern that the country’s youth would waste their time playing games instead of working. Even so, gamers are still permitted to buy non-console games, making the ban notably ineffective –which is probably why it is not extensively enforced.

4. Greece: Video Games

China’s not the only country to ban video games. Greece did too, although for a much different reason. In 2002, the government tried to crack down on electric gambling machines, but their legislators wrote the law so broadly that it managed to cover all forms of electronic gaming machines –meaning all video games. Amazingly, someone was even caught and arrested for violating the poorly written law by playing an MMO in an internet café. They were actually forced to serve time in prison for playing games.

Fortunately, after receiving pressure from the EU and video gamers everywhere, the law was found to be unconstitutional by the end of the year.

3. China: Avatar in 2D

While the army in Avatar is undoubtedly American, the idea of people siding with an indigenous population against an imperialistic force is something that China was not comfortable with. That’s why shortly after the release of the movie in China, the authorities decided the movie could only be shown in 3D. Since there are very few 3D theaters in China, the move was effectively a ban on the film.

2. Russia: Emo Clothing

Plenty of people don’t like emo fashion, but while it’s not that weird for a parent to tell their kids they can’t wear that crap outside the house, it’s entirely different when the whole government takes such a drastic stand. When the Russian government was trying to stop high suicide rates amongst teens though, they decided emo fashion were to blame.

The government went so far as to dub the style “a threat to national stability” before banning people from wearing emo clothing to public schools or government buildings. Don’t worry sullen teens of Russia, you can still listen to all the forlorn emo music you want, you just can’t dress like you listen to it.

1. Saudi Arabia: Valentine’s Day

Similarly, Saudi Arabia finds Valentine’s Day to be in violation of Muslim beliefs. In order to ensure residents don’t secretly send gifts to their Valentine’s, the government orders all florists and gift shops to remove anything red or otherwise considered to be a symbol of romance prior to the holiday. Apparently the ban on the holiday isn’t entirely successful and the country now has a thriving Valentine’s Day black m

Beautiful Guitar Designs

The guitar is a plucked string instrument, usually played with fingers or a pick. The guitar consists of a body with a rigid neck to which the strings, generally six in number, are attached. Guitars are traditionally constructed of various woods and strung with animal gut or, more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Some modern guitars are made of polycarbonate materials. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers. There are two primary families of guitars: acoustic and electric. You can see a lot of guitar designs and you know always that every guitar have different voice to another. I have some collection of guitar designs i think this is best designs and easy to playing.

Craziest Frozen Meals

5. Daniel Craig Frozen Lollipop

After polling more than 1,000 women to determine which male celebrity British females wanted immortalized in the form of a frozen fruit treat, ice cream company Del Monte Superfruit Smoothies has created a lifelike “smoothie lolli” modeled after buff James Bond star Daniel Craig. The purple “Licence to Chill” treat was created by Del Monte after more than 1,000 people voted the “Quantum Of Solace” star the celebrity that they would most like to lick. Now they can, with his chiseled washboard likeness, on a stick. The limited-edition lollipops of the 41-year-old star are available in blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry, and contain less than 100 calories each.

4. Frozen Burrito

Once upon a time, a man named Phil Anson, who enjoyed rock-climbing in Eldorado Canyon and made a killer burrito, stumbled upon a business idea: He packed his homemade burritos into a cooler to sell to his fellow climbers. And they were good. In 2008 when he debuted the frozen burritos, it was called Phil’s Fresh Foods. In early 2009, two more characters enter the scene: Tom Spier and Brendan Synnott, who had just sold off their granola company, Bear Naked. “They thought they could make a lifestyle brand out of the freezer section,” Winslow continues, “so they met with Phil, and Tom and Brendan came on board, and they rebranded to Evol Burritos.” (The name, in case you’re curious, is “love” spelled backwards — chosen because people really do love these burritos.)
3. Frozen Snowman Poop

Snowman Poop, the most delicious Christmas gift. Better conserved frozen.
2. Frozen Peanut Butter for Dogs

Yeap, dogs like ice cream too. Now you can buy peanut butter and save it in your fridge for special occasions.
1. Frozen Natto

Natto is a weird sticky stinky fermented soybean that the Japanese eat. Now they have a frozen version.

Funny Names For A Team

5. Fart

Yes, there is a team out there whose official name is Fart. Fotballaget Fart is a Norwegian football club based in Vang. They play home games at Fartbana Stadion. The club has both men’s and women’s teams. The women play in the First Division (second tier), having been relegated from Toppserien following the 2008 season, while the men currently play in the Third Division (fourth tier). Thorstein Helstad started his career here.
Note: Fart is actually Norwegian for “speed” but of course it sounds funny if you’re English speaking.
4. Deportivo Wanka

Deportivo Wanka is a Peruvian football club, based in the city of Huancayo in the Peruvian Andes. It has been giving Manchester United a run for its money in the replica kit market, although the Huancayo-based outfit has no idea why more than 1,000 British footie fans might want to sport a Deportivo Wanka shirt. The team is, according to UK tabloid The Sun, named after the Wanka tribe which once occupied Huancayo. A spokeswanka said: “It is very strange. Everyone in Britain seems to think we have a funny name.” The team’s ignorance of the true meaning of its delicious moniker was confirmed by Subside Sports, which punts the kit online. “The club just doesn’t get the joke,” The e-commerce operation admitted. The Deportivo Wanka shirt is currently sold out, although hard-core Wankas can pre-order now for March delivery.
3. The Nads

There is a hockey team from the Rhode Island School of Design called the Nads. This name was created for the sole purpose of being funny. Their mascot is a giant set of genitals on hockey skates. Their basketball team is called the “Balls.”
2. Fighting Cocks

WTF? Yes, you heard it right; Fighting Cocks is the name of the team from Cocke County High School, a public high school located in Newport, Tennessee. The school serves around 1,100 students in a predominately rural area of East Tennesse.
1. The Yuma Criminals

Yuma High is the oldest standing high school in Yuma, Arizona. It was erected in 1909 and earned its mascot, the Criminal, after the school burned down and the students had to finish their classes in the Yuma Territorial Prison, where they remained for the next three years. Teachers conducted classes in the cell block area, and the school held assemblies in what had been the prison hospital. YHS is the only school in America that has a copyrighted high school mascot. In 1913 the Yuma football team travelled to Phoenix to play the “Coyotes”. Yuma High won, and the angry “Coyotes” dubbed the Yuma High players the “Criminals”. At first “Criminals” was a fighting word, but before long students and teachers wore the name with pride. In 1917 the school board officially adopted the nickname. Yuma High School has been proudly called the home of the “Criminals” ever since. I bet this name will definitely make a positive impact on the kids.
