10 creepiest and weirdest websites on internet




10.   Death date - find out the date when you are going to die

This is probably one of the many creepy sites where you punch in some of your details, and it will give you your estimated death date and time. It looks designed to scare you off. Every change of a small detail will change the estimate date. If you modify your height by 10 centimetres, it will give you extra  few years to live, and that is the first sign it is bogus.
Despite the site could not convince me that is can actually predict anything, I did have a few thoughts and a chill on my spine thinking about how creepy it would be to actually know when you are going to die.

9.  Plane crash recordings

A website that contains recording of the last words of the aircraft pilots before a plane crash. The content is extracted fromt eh blak boxes found after incidents, or lieve recordings or air traffic controlers. The website has MP# sound recordings and also transcripts of the last words.You can definitely find the transcripts from the 9/11 incident in the US.Why this is public information and how is this anything less than really  creepy , that I don’t know.

8. Staggering beauty

This is a website about a black ribbon,  a worm, or a sock with 2 little white dots which I would say without much difficulty that they are supposed to be eyes. The shape will follow your mouse movement on the screen and if you shake it strongly it will flash quite annoying. By aware, it might trigger some seizure of epilepsia, so you got to be careful if you play with it.
Not sure what is the purpose, but stupid things are sometimes brilliant due to their innocent stupidity

7. VampireWebsite.net

If you believe that vampire exist, and would like to become one, this website will promise to help you. The idea is very simple, you drink some blood from a real vampire and there you go, problem solved. The problem is that is not that easy to find and contact a real vampire and that is what the website is claiming to help you with. I did have a good read and I can tell you that it is all bogus, however if you believe that vampire exist, please let me know and I am trying to find out if there are people out there falling for this. Whoever created the website put a lot of effort into it but it looks just like a traffic trap targeted on the naive and immature

6.     Skyway bridge jumpers

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge on west coast of Florida is the number one attraction choice for people wanting to commit suicide and this website is a record of all the attempt, some of them successful and some of them not, to end oneself life. you can find all history of suicides and survivors with detailed dates and descriptions from various sources. 

Not sure what the deal is here, but this website is weird in its existence and it is not clear if they are trying to convince people not to jump, or just record statistics for a commercial interest.

5.     Death Row

this is actually the website of the Texas Department of Criminal  Justice which contains a section of all details for all offenders sentenced to death and executed. It is a complete list of dates and the creepiest thing is that you can read the offenders last words which I found troubling. Perhaps due to the fact in many parts of the world the death penalty is not accepted, this is a proof that death by execution is normal in other parts of the world, and people accept it as it is. 

4.     Birth and deaths – live report

this is not a website but a program showing live how many people are born and dying while you browse. The information is scrolling to an amazing speed in front of your eyes with details about location and religion of the person either getting born, which you can see in green on the left, of dying on the right hand side in red.
This is just a simulation and I am wondering how this information is recording in real time, but real or not, the simulation certainly puts things into perspective about the size of humanity

3.     Devine interventions

Despite the name and the religious connotations and look, this website is actually selling silicone dildos. You can buy jackhammer Jesus, Buddha Delight, The devil, virgin Mary, and other religiously themed pleasure instruments, with various colours and sizes. They can also glow in the dark, just to make sure you get to see the light of your actions.
I am wondering what would be the reaction of serious religious people seeing this and how many sales do they do. I guess there will always be people trying some other cannot even conceive.

2.  Rotten

this is a portal to other websites showing disgusting and disturbing images that can make you puke, loose sleep and be shocked for a long time. there are fresh human body parts, live maggots inside humans, corpses, but also explicit sexual content, faeces and other horrific images. I would suggest actually not to go there, as the short description of the site is sincere,  as a collection of images and information from many sources to present the viewer with a truly unpleasant experience

1.     Rate my poo dot com

This is a website where you can upload a photo of your poo and other people will rate it from 1 to 10. I am not sure about the criteria of rating.
 is it about
  the size, colour, consistency or artistic approach?
 the site looks popular with almost 20,000 poo images and growing. 
So let me get this straight: there are almost 20,000 people in this world, wanting to compare their shit with others and actually bothered to prep the poo for a photo shoot, download the image on a computer and upload it to the website.
If you intend to visit the site, make sure you have a strong stomach and also make sure you know where your fingers are as you can easily get lost into other topics such as rate my boner, rate my titties, pornopolis and other dodgy web destination deigned to steal your clicks, fill you with viruses and junk, and set google to target your with disgusting related advertising for months to come.
Another website that my description is enough to paint a picture so you do not need to fall into this trap.

12 useless inventions of all times




Today I will present 12 of the funniest but useless inventions of all times. There are hundreds out there, but after a time of research and evaluations, this is my final selection. I have carefully chosen the funniest and weirdest collection of time wasters creations, but with entertainment value rather that real use.

No 12, the chin support.

If you have trouble commuting with public transport, this might come in handy. I am not sure how practical it is, but definitely there is some thought to it. It is available only in Japan, as in any other country it will look ridiculous.

No.11,  the lipstick assistant.

If you are a women and you have a serious motor disability or just not skilled or strong enough to keep a lipstick on your face, this might help you to enhance your appearance, as definitely you might need it for blending in with normal people.

No. 10, the steering wheel tray.

This invention is not short of creativity for people driving long distances, in straight line and in countries without any traffic offences. You can use the tray to eat your lunch, play games on a computer or even arrange your toys by colour if you are really bored driving and you do not steer at all.

No. 9, the butter stick.

Even if this invention might attract a percentage of people buying it at least once, I do not believe this is a completely useless invention, as it might actually serve the purpose of spreading butter on a piece of bread. However I cannot picture on the shelves of the supermarkets.

No.8, the dog sack.

Definitely the result of people with imagination, this idea serves the purposed fo the dog transport. Someone actually thought about marketing this as a serious product for people with pets. I would like to see a dog outside the car on a freeway with the tongue sticking out. The dog might actually enjoy this.

No.7, the pet but covers.

This picture is a proof that there are people with serious issues out there. Probably this is for someone not fit enough to accept the appearance of an animal anus.

No.6, the noodle cooling fan.

One cannot dismiss this invention, as it is creative and intriguing. Obviously this is for someone very passionate about noodles and having trouble waiting for the food to cool down a little bit, but fit enough for a work out and willing to depend on batteries.

No.5, subway sleeping guard.

Another variation of a product for Japan, for people commuting. This invention is limited only for people catching a seat with a window behind, but think about the fact they can make money sleeping by selling advertising space on their helmet.

No 4. The DVD rewinder.

This invention is designed with the clear intention of a useless invention. If all the others ideas presented so far attempt to solve a problem, this one is from the beginning destined to fail, or just to get some attention for the sake of getting attention. I hope I do not have to explain that DVD do not rewind, which I just did.

No.3, full body umbrella.

This umbrella will protect you from heavy rain from top to bottom. It is designed for people waiting at the bus station and not moving, but the idea is valid. Too bad that people have to walk sometimes.

No.2, the flatulent deodorizer.

I have to give this one credit for the intent. This can be used as a gift for people who are having flatulent issues in public to send a clear message that one needs to be fit for society before farting uncontrolled in the presence of others.
I great gift idea! Where do I buy one?

no 1 – flexible head hammer

this is a metal spring with a hammer head which you will never be able to use other than hurting yourself. This is by far the best concept of an useless product that defeats its own purpose, not even remotely trying to solve the problem in the first place.

I hope you enjoyed this count down and please let me know if you know other
Great useless products, as I would love to create few other episodes about this fascinating world of either naivety or designed intent.

12 ghosts stories that could be true



No 12, the rail road crossing ghost.

A strange legend across the tracks, even though the path is uphill.surrounds a railroad crossing just south of San Antonio, Texas. The story goes, was the site of a tragic accident in which several school-aged children were killed - but their ghosts linger at the spot and will push idled cars
Since that dreadful accident many years ago, any car stopped near the railroad tracks will be pushed by unseen hands across the tracks to safety. It is the spirits of the children, they say, who push the cars across the tracks to prevent a tragedy and fate like their own.
The second half of this legend is that if a light powder - like talcum or baby powder - is sprinkled over the car's trunk and rear bumper, tiny fingerprints and handprints will appear - the prints of the ghost children pushing the car. Many who have tried it swear that indeed they can see the evidence of small children's handprints in the powder.

No 11, the white lady at Worstead church.

This photo was taken in 1975 by Peter and Diane Berhelot during a visit to Worstead church in Norfolk, England. The figure in the photo appears to be wearing light coloured, old fashioned clothes and a bonnet.
The couple developed the image few months later and Diane could not remember anyone sitting behind her. They came back and showed the photo to the reverend, who told them the story of the white lady, a few hundred years old local legend, a healer, who appears when someone needs to be healed. Diane remembered that she was sick at the time of her previous visit, as she was taking antibiotics.

No10, The tulip stair case ghost.

The tulip staircase in The Queens house in Greenwich, is one of the first unsupported spiral staircases in England, but this is not what makes it famous, but a ghost story. This photograph was taken in 1966 by a reverend named Ralph Hardy. His intention was to capture the beauty of the spiral staircase and his surprise was huge after he developed the film and saw this shrouded figure climbing the stairs, holding the railing with both hands. Experts from Kodak have examined the photo and the original negative, and concluded that it has not been tampered with.
It is said that strange unexplained figures have been seen around the staircase and also footsteps sounds have been heard without anyone using the stairs. Other ghostly appearances have been reported over the years and it is suspected that the place is haunted by ghosts.

No. 9, The brown lady.

This portrait of "The Brown Lady" ghost is one of the most famous ghost photographs ever taken. The ghost is thought to be that of Lady Dorothy Townsend, wife of Charles Townsend, the 2nd Viscount of Raynham, from Norfolk, England in the early year 1700. It was rumored that Dorothy, before her marriage to Charles, had been the mistress of another man, Lord Wharton. Charles suspected Dorothy of infidelity. Dorothy's ghost is said to haunt the oak staircase and other areas of Raynham Hall Residence.
It was suspected that that Charles had locked his wife away in a remote corner of the house until her death many years later.
She appeared as a ghost for the following 2 hundred years to people visiting the property scaring them off. The ghost has been shot at with guns, obviously with no success.
This famous photo was taken in September 1936, by two photographers who were assigned to photograph Raynham Hall for Country Life magazine. They saw the appearance, flashed a light and discovered later, after the film development, their capture. They published the photo in the Country life magazine in December 1936. The ghost has been seen occasionally again after.

No. 8,  Bachelor grove cemetery

Bachelor’s grove cemetery has been the site for many strange appearances and phenomena, apparitions, unexplained sounds and sights, even glowing balls of lights. The image has been taken by Ghost Research Society during an investigation in 1991.
One of the group members was taking black and white photos with a high speed infrared camera after experienced few anomalies in the area. The cemetery was empty. The image has emerged after the film development. A young women dressed in white sitting on a tombstone. Parts of her body are partially transparent and the dress style and the haircut seem to be out of date.

No 7, Electric chair ghost.

The picture was taken by the engineer Fred Leuchter, who was hired to evaluate and modify the electric chair for executions, as it was old and needed to be refurbished. Fred took the chair home into his basement workshop and took few pictures to document his process.
After the photos were developed , he noticed few anomalies looking like ghostly shapes. He tried to attribute the appearances to the direction of the light and reflections of the chair surfaces, but still could not explained the result. Fred thought that the electromagnetic field created by the electric chair executions might have something to do with imprinting the after images, which cannot be seen with the naked eyes

No 6, the Romanian Decebal ghost.

Romania is a place full of legends, vampires, werewolves and hunted ghost stories. Authorities have warned people to stay away from the Decebal Hotel -- because construction works were taking place on the 150-year-old building. What they didn't warn people about, was the ghost. The spirit of a tall woman in a long white frock has long been reported at the spa. The hotel in Romania is rumored to hide ancient Roman treasure, and the ghost, it is said, appears to protect it from treasure hunters. The image was snapped by a 33 year old women trying to take few pictures of her boyfriend and was shocked when she discovered the weird ghostly shape

No 5, the pink lady of green castle.

This is a typical ghost hunting story, as after several appearances at O’Hare mansion in Green Castle Indiana, 2 ghost busters, Guy Winters and his friend terry went into a searching trip. They were armed with cameras and video recorders and spent 2 days and nights looking for evidence of haunting activities.
They came up with this picture which was seen after development, and it shows a ghostly women in pink vaporous clothes.  They reported also other anomalies and presences during their stay but have not been able to record them.

No 4,  the farm ghost.

This photo was taken by a wedding photographer,  Neil Bach in 2008. He was doing a pre wedding visit to the venue, a farm in Hertfordshire in England. He was amazed seeing this picture on his computer as he remembers clearly and vividly that there was nobody there, especially a child dressed in a white robe like that.
He investigated discreetly the people from the farm without telling them about the photo, and the staff did confirm previous appearances in the area.  This is the proof that this photo is a true ghost story and not a modern photographer attempt to create sensation.

No 3, the Australian watcher.

This image was taken in Alice Springs, in Australia in 1959. It shows a human transparent form, wearing along dress and holding something like a camera or binoculars. This is not a confirmed ghost story and it is suspected to be a double exposure, but there are plenty of speculations due to the fact this images is recorded on film. For whoever understands photography, a double exposure is possible in low light situations at dusk or poorly lit interiors, and not in full light as that would render the image overexposed and burned close to complete white.


No 2, the CCTV ghost.

This is an image of a ghost of a young girl haunting a mobile phone store. That proves that ghosts are not only old stories but modern times as well. The spooking looking female can be seen on a night footage taken by the CCTV system in the shop. She appears to cross the corridors, stops and looks back at the camera.

No 1, the cemetery ghost baby

This image is from a cemetery in Queensland Australia in 1947. A woman was visiting the grave of her daughter who died a year earlier. The husband took the photo and discovered the image after the film development. The image is not of their daughter but another child aware of their presence. After some enquiries they found out that next grave of their daughter was another 2 infant girls.

In conclusion a lot of questions are arising from all these cases.
-       why most of the cases the images emerge after film development?
-       Are the ghostly apparitions have something to do with the camera technology
-       The vast majority of the cases happen in England or United states

Do you believe in ghosts?
Do you believe they are real or just hoaxes?
I am interested to hear how many of you believe this could be real.

Conjoined twins - 10 shocking stories





Today we will explore few of the most amazing conjoined twins stories.
What are the conjoined twins?
They are identical twins joined inside the utero, and it is a rare phenomenon with a low survival rate of about 1 in 4, as they are born with abnormalities incompatible with life. The real cause is unknown. The twins can share a heart, the liver or parts of digestive system, they can share more or less part of their bodies, and that obviously can play a part if a separation if feasible or not.

The conjoined twins are called also Siamese twins because of the famous Thai conjoined brothers chang and eng bunker, who lived in Siam which is now Thailand, between 1811 and 1874, and they travelled with the circus for many years. They shared the parts of their bodies including liver, and in today’s times they could have been separated successfully. The term Siamese twins is synonym with conjoined twins because of them.

The oldest siamese are not a modern occurrence, there are ancient proofs of their existence. For example, Peru ancient history depicts conjoined twins in ceramic sculpture dated back to year 300. Another reference is in the writings of Saint Augustine in a book called City of God and her refers to a man with 2 heads, 2 chests, 4 hands and one body.
Another example of historical data are the Biddenden Maids from England, who lived in Kent, around year 1100. They are said they have been joined both shoulders and the hip and lived for 34 years. They left few legends and few speculations behind and it was said that one sister died first and the other 6 hours later. One thing is for sure, their names is preserved though local traditions, cakes, souvenirs and charities

Another examples are Millie and Christine mcKoy, American conjoined twins born into slavery in Carolina in 1851.  They were sold at 10 months of age and used as paid attraction until 1863, when their slave status has ended with the emancipation proclamation. They enjoined a circus career, spoke 5 languages, learned music and singing. They died in 1912 of tuberculosis 17 hours apart.
I am wondering what can a twin feel like when the other is dying first. That is something that sounds horrible.

Giacomo and Giovanni and Battista tocci, are an example of dicephalic conjoined twins, born in Italy in 1875. Dicephalic means 2 headed. Their father was completely shocked when he saw his newborns and he spent a month in a mental institution to recover.
The parents took them to a freak show in Turin where they were examined by few doctors who were very sceptical in regards to twins survival expectancy. They have been seen by many doctors with various opinions.
The twins had 2 heads, 2 necks, two ribcages, 4 arms, and 2 legs. They had 2 hearts, 2 stomachs, 2 sets of lungs but shared intestines, anus and penis. I am not sure how they used the shared organs and who handled what, as they did not feel the other’s body. They married 2 women and it was not clear if they had children and when they died as there are conflicting reports on this regard.

Now, without the intention to sound like I am mocking this serious issue, the questions arises is, how do they go to the toilet? Who uses the hand to direct the penis to pee, and who uses the toilet paper? Do they have like a routine, one time for each?
I am trying to imagine a discussion happening on the toilet between the 2 twins.
One is going: I told you not to eat curry and now I have to suffer! The other goes, yes you did but you enjoyed it as well, so stop complaining!


Coming back to out topic.
Now we are moving to more recent times and we will talk about Vani and Veena from India, conjoined twins who are sharing their skull. These type of twins are called craniopagus and one can find many examples today.
Vani and veena were born in 2003 and they were left by the parents in Children hospital in Hyderbad because they could not afford to look after them. The twins spent  8 years of their life in the hospital looked after the nursing staff, waiting for a separation operation. The doctors could not guarantee their survival and that is why the parents couldn’t not consent to the operation.
The biggest problem was that the girls are sharing blood vessels , despite the fact they had different brains which in theory could allow the operation to proceed.
They are still waiting today.
There are many examples of skull sharing twins and we can add also a happy story of the Gaboura sisters from Sudan. They were 11 months old and they were separated in Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. The parents of the twins are doctors and they approached many institutions for help and finally found a world class of experienced multidisciplinary team of specialists to undertake over 4 operations to separate the children.

Due to this success and others, the Great Ormond Street Hospital has started to treat a number of other conjoined twin cases, including Ruby and Rosie in 2012, immediately after birth. This is an impressive story, as the newborns were conjoined at the abdomen and they have been delivered through a C section at the week 34 of the pregnancy. The team undertook this huge task for such a young lives and fortunately they had success despite the difficulties of such a procedure. The baby girls are at home healthy leading normal lives today.

We are going to finish our video with the last case for today, with the case of Brittany and Abigail Hensel, one of the most covered cases in media in modern times. They are plenty of article and documentaries online today about this amazing story. They decided to share their story to the world when they reached 16th Years of age in 2006. They were born in Minnesota, united states and they have also a younger brother and a  sister.
They are dicephalic parapagus twins, which means they share one body but have separate heads. They give the appearance it is one body with 2 heads, but they have their internal organs doubled up. Each twin controls one part of the body, so one is moving her leg and arm the other controls the other leg and arm. That makes it very difficult to  coordinate movement, but they have managed to learn how to perform all normal tasks including driving.
The girls started to receive a lot of media attention including appearances at Oprah Winffrey show, Discovery channel, ABC TV and many others, including this video on the future famous vupa dymanite show.
The twins graduated with bachelors of arts degree which is amazing if you think about it. They have different personalities, they have individual likes and dislikes.
There are concerns about their health as statistical speaking, these type of conjoined twins rarely makes it into adulthood, but asking them about it, the hopes and dreams about dating or getting married are as normal as anyone’s.

All these stories are amazing in their own individually, and they have channelled a rich mythology over the years.
take the multi headed dragon for example, a typical conjoined twin story of triplets or perhaps more, in a dragon body turned into evil characters. I am pretty sure that despite the evil vibe, these monsters are just examples of Siamese twins and birth defects.
