World’s Ugliest Animal - The Naked Mole Rat

Posted: 10 Aug 2011 11:46 AM PDT

The world's ugliest animal is the naked mole rat of East Africa. It is a hairless pink rodent with wrinkly pink skin, beady black eyes, and giant protruding teeth that it uses to dig with.

They are found in parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, and have some rather strange habits. They live for 30 years, are immune to cancer and, apart from one solitary queen mole rat who mates with two or three studly males, are largely sexually repressed.

They live in colonies of up to 300, where the small mole rats take on the jobs of workers doing colony maintenance activities whilst being protected by the larger animals.

Well, Bruce Wayne is a billionaire. Why should he drive himself around? This Batmobile was spotted in New York City and was probably based on a Corvette.

The limo is inspired from the Batmobile that was featured in the 1989 and 1992 Batman films directed by Tim Burton. You can see more pictures of the BatLimo as well as a video that we discovered on Youtube after the jump.

Mobile phones are fast becoming the preferred way to access the web and engage with people and content.

Horsemaning is the New Planking

Posted: 10 Aug 2011 10:48 AM PDT

Move over planking and owling, the latest photo snapping craze involves good old fashion beheading. Believed to have evolved during the 1920s, Horsemaning has taken its name from the term Headless Horseman and is performed by hiding the head of a person as best as possible. It is also referred to as fake beheading, where a second person then exposes only his head and hides the rest of the body to create an optical illusion. Join in on the beheading fun at Facebook.
