B.B.Q. Grill for apartments

The site that sells this product is German so info on the product is sketchy.
From there site:
Bruce ist der Grill für den Balkon. Er hängt am Geländer in handels-üblichen Blumenkastenhalterungen. So nimmt er kaum Platz in An-spruch. Bruce wurde im Jahr 2006 als Teil meiner Diplomarbeit mit freundlicher Unterstützung der Firma Edelstahl Jaenchen Berlin realisiert.

My girlfriend is from Germany so I will update this in a little bit with the translation.

And you have to watch this video advertising the product. (must have quicktime)

Dracula's castle for sale

This castle is actually called Bran castle and was home to Vlad the Impaler. Vlad would go on to be so horrible to the Romanians that the legend of Dracula is based upon him. Impaling his victims was his favorite way to torture his victims. He also would dine with the impaled, meaning he would have victims put on the spikes and then sit down by them and enjoy a nice relaxing meal as his victims weakly moaned out in pain.

So if you would like to own this guys former home, you can buy it for the price of just $77 Million. Of course the castle is now a tourist destination and you wouldn't really be able to live in it (there are stipulations set by the Government when dealing with historic landmarks), but it does make about 12 million a year at a production cost of 7 million. So you would have made back your investment in 55 years and then it would be all profit.

Worst amusement park ever

This amusement park is in Alexandria, Egypt. When I first came upon this park the site I was at stated it was abandoned, so I wanted to do some more research and figure out why it was abandoned with all the rides being left behind. I was thinking radiation, massive genocide on the roller coaster, something to actually warrant just getting up and leaving. Well it didn't take long before I discovered that this park is actually still open, and they are actually charging to get in. It is supposed to cost 7 egyptian pounds ($1.50 US) but apparently they try to charge you more.


The view after entering the park


The king of the mountain ride?


the monorail was out of comission


Yes a rollercoaster! No, its closed.


One of the only rides that was open


The main cafe (where they expect you to eat)


This is why the middle east hates us, our bumper cars work


Nothing says classy like a lake


You know it was closed

I just couldn't imagine going to six flags(or whatever amusement park) and it look anything like this. Hell, I get pissed when one ride is closed, even if its the carousel. Its just principle.

And if you can't get enought of the amusement park that makes kids cry, check out here

Thanks to It's Knuttz for thinking the park was abandoned, and Theme Park Review for setting the record straight.

Real life Zombie

Apparently, zombies are not just for movies - the story of Clairvius Narcisse of Haiti is the only real-life documented case of someone being made into a zombie by use of poisons:

The story begins in 1962, in Haiti. A man called Clairvius Narcisse was sold to a zombie master by his brothers, because Clairvius refused to sell his share of the family land. Soon after Clairvius "officially" died, and was buried. However, he had been later secretly unburied, and was actually working as a zombie slave on a sugar plantation with many other zombies. In 1964, his zombie master died, and he wandered across the island in a psychotic daze for the next 16 years. The drugs that made him psychotic were gradually wearing off. In 1980, he accidentally stumbled across his long-lost sister in a market place, and recognized her. She didn’t recognise him, but he identified himself to her by telling her early childhood experiences that only he could possibly know.
