Tallest Person

March 31st 2008 01:28
Leonid Stadnyk who was born in 1971 in the Ukraine is the world's tallest living person according to Guinness World Records. He is a certified veterinarian and veterinary surgeon and lives with his mother in the village of Podolyantsi. Leonid Stadnyk's excessive growth began after brain surgery when he was 14 years old. He developed a pituitary gland tumour which caused the gland to secrete large amounts of growth hormone, resulting in what doctors describe as acromegalic gigantism.

On August 8, 2007, Guinness book's spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza stated that in the 2008 edition of the record book, Mr Stadnyk at 2.59m, (8ft, 5.5in) replaces Bao Xishun, a native of Inner Mongolia in China who stands 2.36 m. In the past, Stadnyk refused to be measured and consequently denied the GWR recognition. In 2007, the Guinness World Records was permitted to take height measurements, thereby officially recognizing Stadnyk as the world's tallest man.

It is believed Leonid's health is slowly failing in that he needs to hold on to limbs of trees and the side of his house to walk about.

Below is a picture of Leonid on what could be the world's largest bike, and one standing next to a car which he may or may not be able to fit into!

Keep Things in Perspective

March 28th 2008 11:47
Keeping things in perspective - it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.

Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Pluto


All the planets showing relative size. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Pluto


Relative size of the sun compared to the planets


Beyond our Sun, it's a big universe...

Sun, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus - Showing comparative sizes to scale


Sun, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus, Rigel, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse, Antares


Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away.


Now try to wrap your mind around this...
This is a Hubble Telescope ultra deep field infrared view of countless entire galaxies billions of light-years away.

Funniest Ever Newspaper Print Ads

March 26th 2008 10:50
Newspaper Print Ads - Wanted, 30 chinamen and a zeppelin for an elaborate practical joke. Can you help?


Funniest newspaper advertisements - Nemesis wanted. I'm 5'10, into kayaking, books and conversation (by day), justice honour and vengeance by night. Seeking arch-enemy, possible crimelord or deformed megalomaniac.


Newspaper commercial - Speech Impediment? There's a new support group for the London area. Cal D-DD-D-DDD-Dave on


Personal Newspaper ads - Good-looking, athletic, Notting Hill based movie star, millionaire, seeks gullible stunner.


Classifieds - For Sale. Holiday photos: Choice of Ski, sun or city break. Ideal for anecdote or alibi.


Newspaper personals - Amanda - I'm running a bit late. Will be there in about an hour. How far apart are the contractions?

Cigarette WikiBomb

March 24th 2008 11:20
It didn't stay up for very long, but someone did a fantastic edit on the Wikipedia page for Cigarette!

(click on the image to open a larger version)

A cigarette is a product consumed via smoking and manufactured out of cured and finely cut tobacco and reconstituted tobacco, a smooth blend of flavours to relax and refresh the customer. Cigarettes are popular all over the world, particularly with popular high school students. Adult smokers typically enjoy longer life spans and are more relaxed, and also more attractive. Movie starts are also known to have been given acting jobs as a direct result of smoking cigarettes. Although there has been some unfounded criticism of tobacco companies, most doctors agree that cigarette smoke is a healthy substitute for air, and that passive smoking can increase a child’s learning abilities in later life.

Japanese Toilet Signs

March 17th 2008 12:04
Believe it or not they actually have these signs or rules up in some toilets in Japan. The first two are fair enough, don't pee standing up and don't puke in the toilets, but as for the rest I'm not so sure. Especially going fishing!
