Animals and humans are pretty much alike

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:05:40 +0000

Imitation is an advanced behavior whereby an individual observes and replicates another’s. Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior.
The desire to understand animals has made ethology a rapidly growing topic, and since the turn of the 21st century, many prior understandings related to diverse fields such as animal communication, personal symbolic name use, animal emotions, animal culture, learning, and even sexual conduct long thought to be well understood, have been modified, as have new fields such as neuroethology.
Finally, imitation is often an important type of learning.

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:08:07 +0000

This planet is amazing. Life is amazing. The universe is amazing. Clouds are more than a scientific subject or simply related to the weather, they have inspired us through the ages in art and literature. Clouds can have different colors and absolutely different forms and resemble anything depending on your imagination. Clouds can be many contradictory things; mysterious, beautiful, comical, annoying, frightening and awe-inspiring. Below are some beautiful photos of clouds from my picture collection.

Man spends 32,000 hours creating a model of an oil rig using four million matchsticks

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:55:07 +0000

David Reynolds 51, has spent 32,000 hours creating what is now officially the world’s biggest matchstick model. Apart from costing him £5,000 in wood and glue, it has left things a bit strained in the Reynolds household. The model weighs a tonne, is 3.6m tall and 6.4m long and at one stage had to be split into 14 sections. Each matchstick was individually polished and then glued in place to create the 21ft long, 12ft high masterpiece.

A man who spent 15 years building a gigantic oil rig out of a whopping 4 million matches and hopes to get his creation into the record books. The current record for the most matches used to make a model stands at three-and-a-half million matches. The model took up two bedrooms, the loft, two sheds and half his garage so he’s now relocated it to a local museum.

There’s the main body of the rig itself, supported by three enormous circular buttresses, littered with cranes, lifeboats and a helipad marked with an ‘H’. Then there’s what’s called the platform – almost as big as the rig itself and designed to bob about to one side on an enormous floating pontoon.

‘It just started as a bit of a hobby but I guess it got out of hand,’ said retired oil rig engineer Mr Reynolds. ‘It’s good fun and keeps the grey matter working.

Animals found their shelter in the underground

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 10:57:28 +0000

Living by a hasty road, these animals aren’t willing to take any chances when it comes to getting across securely. Instead, a rabbit and a stoat are cleverly using an underground network of drains to make it to the other side. The cute animals scuttle from one side of the road to the other and pop out of drains in order to avoid being hit by traffic.

Unusual Underground Map

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 18:53:09 +0000

Animals on the Underground is a collection of over 20 animal characters made using only lines, stations and interchange symbols on the London Underground map, created by illustrator Paul Middlewick in 1987. In 2003, the concept was used in a poster campaign by advertising agency McCann-Erickson to promote the London Zoo. They have also appeared on London Television and in press articles around the world including The Daily Mail and The Guardian.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) ran a fund raising poster campaign on the London Underground in April 2008. The posters used the Seal, Elephant and Whale images to raise awareness of seal hunting in Canada, the ivory trade and whale hunting respectively.

Weird love from Birch

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:06:42 +0000

In the pictures, you will see erotic show pieces made cleverly out of birch shavings. You will see people constructed with care given to all the details. Although you may want to think twice before you keep it in your living room, these will make great collector items for those who love weird art. They have made it clear who is the man and the woman in the pieces by giving the women a couple of plaits.

In some of the pieces, the erotica is only just implied and the rest is left to the person’s imagination which will definitely go wild. In the last picture you will see a kissing couple sitting on what looks like a witch’s broom. You can’t help but be impressed with the art and the effort that must have gone into perfecting it. Everything from the hat to the shoes has been given attention while the noses and the moustaches make them look a little funny.
