I've officially become a father today. Today a little angel-looking creature called Daria Alexandrovna Zabolotskaya has opened her little blue eyes upon this shitty, but in no way uninteresting world. My little girl weighs 2.9 kilos and is 50 cm tall, has practically no hair on her little headie, and my wife told me her first sound was a very prolonged [ a:]. I believe it'd be no exaggeration to say "I've never been soooooooooooo happy before".
o In the weightlessness of space a frozen pea will explode if it comes in contact with Pepsi.
o The increased electricity used by modern appliances is causing a shift in the Earth's magnetic field. By the year 2327, the North Pole will be located in mid-Kansas, while the South Pole will be just off the coast of East Africa.
o The idea for "tribbles" in "Star Trek" came from gerbils, since some gerbils are actually born pregnant. [ Читать далее...→ ]

A Chinese man who had the world's biggest hand is hoping for a normal life after undergoing surgery. Liu Hua, 24, from Jiangsu Province, had fingers thicker than his arms before the operation to remove 11lbs of bone and tissue, reports Xinmin Evening News.
His left thumb, index finger and middle finger were deformed at birth but they have since grown to an amazing size. Liu said: "My thumb and index finger are even thicker than my arms, and make my left hand useless. "When I go out, I have to wrap my left hand in clothes and pretend I’m holding a bag." Doctors at Shanghai City 9th People’s hospital took seven hours to do the surgery. They plan another operation in about six months. "We kept his five fingers, and hopefully his left hand will eventually regain normal function," a spokesman said. Liu was suffering from a rare disease called macrodactyly, a birth defect in which toes or fingers are abnormally large.
The world's fastest talker is probably an American, called John Moschitta. He can talk at speed of over 580 words a minute and still be clearly understood. An Indian, S.Jeyaraman, talked non-stop for 360 - a world record.
Fucking (IPA: [ˈfʊkɪŋ]) is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria. The village is located 33 kilometres north of Salzburg, four kilometres east of the German border and half an hour by car from the town of Petting, in Bavaria. The village is known to have existed as "Fucking" since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. "-ing" is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people of the root word to which it is attached; thus Fucking means "(place of) Focko’s people." The village has a population of 93. Fucking's most famous feature is a traffic sign with its name on it, beside which tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. It is a commonly stolen street sign. Significant public funds have been spent on replacing the stolen signs. In 2004, mainly due to the stolen signs, a vote was held on changing the village's name, but the residents voted against doing so.[4] In August 2005, the road signs were replaced with theft-resistant signs welded to steel and secured in concrete to prevent further chances of the sign being stolen.

The oldest surviving condom in the world has gone on display in an Austrian museum. The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users' manual, written in Latin. The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases. The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.
