Ali bomaye!
Wednesday, 10 July 2013
In one of the weirder mix of sports and popular culture, DC put out a "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali" comic book in 1978.
The plot deals with hostile aliens, but the real highlight is the beating Superman gets in a sparring match with the trash-talking Ali.
Get your hotdogs!
In 2004, a California woman literally bit the bullet. In fact, she bit two—and they both came from the same hot dog. She was eating a hot dog from a local Costco when she suddenly found herself chewing metal. At first, she thought her braces had come loose, but a closer inspection revealed a live 9mm bullet hiding inside the hot dog. This was not a good thing, considering that live bullets can sometimes explode from such impact.And it gets worse: when she later visited a doctor for stomach pains, an X-ray revealed a second live round that she had swallowed without noticing. Luckily, doctors said she was in no danger and the bullet would just come out the usual way. Perhaps the strangest thing about the incident is that no one knows how the bullets got there. The police investigated all the other hot dogs at the food court but found no further contaminations. Even the CEO of Costco said the incident is “regrettable, but difficult to understand.”
Panamanian Golden Frog

An amazing species of frog named Panamanian Golden Frog does not possess ears, but rather they listen with the help of their lungs. Yes, those lungs multi-task for them in the most amazing way. These frogs are not the only species with the same functionality but there are many fish that also hear in the same manner.
Another sad post.
The U.S. government has made some parts of Arizona off limits to U.S. citizens because of the threat of violence from Mexican drug smugglers. The federal government has actually posted signs more than 100 miles north of the Mexican border warning travellers that certain areas are unsafe because of drug and immigrant smugglers.
Shame really.
In 2010, Americans waste an astounding amount of food. According to a study by the California Integrated Waste Management board, 63 percent of the average supermarket's waste stream is food. When you break that down, it means that each supermarket wastes approximately 3,000 pounds of food each year.
I can't help but like this
South Koreans believe that people should hide their shoes on the first night of the New Year. Otherwise, a ghost will try one of the shoes, and if it finds a pair that it likes, the ghost will take it and the owner of those shoes will have bad luck all year.

From yoghurt, jams, sweets, and tomato products, you've probably consumed at least one kilo of red dye in your life. That means that you've also ingested at least 70,000 cochineal beetles, according to survey in america. The beetle is crushed and used to make red dye.
Isinglass, or dried fish bladder, gives beer its golden glow. The BBC has done a piece on the substance since it is primarily used in British beers.
One more thing, L-Cysteine is an amino acid often used in dough conditioners, as a siftening agent when mass-producing breads. It is made from human hair or duck feathers. Although 80 percent of L-cysteine is made of human hair, it is said that McDonald's uses the duck feather variety in its Baked Hot Apple Pie's
