Performance Art With A Difference
Dangling horizontally out of a skyscraper, this hovering figure looks set to fall to his doom. But Chinese artist Li Wei hasn't just lost it all on a game of chance - this is performance art with a difference. Li Wei has produced an unsettling series of self-portraits involving his face reflected in mirrors in public places, and photographs of himself crashing into walls and sidewalks.
His work is a mixture of performance art and photography that creates illusions of a sometimes dangerous reality. Li Wei states that these images are not computer montages and works with the help of props such as mirror, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics.
The History Of The Cathars
High on a sacred mountain in Southern France, the whitened ruins of Montségur are a reminder of the last actively visible gnostic school in the West, the Cathari. Below Montségur lies a peaceful meadow, its name, 'Field of the Burned', the only indication of a grim event that took place there a little over 700 years ago. In March, 1244, 205 Cathars were burned alive on the site, rather than renounce their creed.
The name Cathari, means 'pure' in Greek. Cathars in general formed an anti-sacerdotal party in opposition to the Catholic Church, protesting what they perceived to be the moral, spiritual, and political corruption of the Church. They claimed an Apostolic succession from the founders of Christianity, and saw Rome as having betrayed and corrupted the original purity of the message.

The Mended Spiderweb Series
The Mended Spiderweb Series came about during a six-week period in June and July in 1998 which Californian artist Nina Katchadourian spent on Pörtö. In the forest and around the house where she was living, she searched for broken spiderwebs which she repaired using red sewing thread.
All of the patches were made by inserting segments one at a time directly into the web. Sometimes the thread was starched, which made it stiffer and easier to work with. The short threads were held in place by the stickiness of the spider web itself; longer threads were reinforced by dipping the tips into white glue.

16 Abandoned And Decaying Hotels From Around The World
Around the world stand empty hotels that symbolise the loss of prosperity and the death of dreams. Lavish resorts and small hotels which were once filled with life and activity are now abandoned and filled only with decay.
Abandoned hotels range from decrepit to like-new and exist everywhere from remote parts of the globe to modern urban cities. These abandoned hotels serve as reminders that even the best laid plans don't always work out over time.

Living Lights
Mosquito Bay in Puerto Rico is one of the most bioluminescent bodies of water in the world.
Any movement in the water sends a billow of bright blue-green light spinning and undulating in fractal beauty, until it eventually diffuses back into the dark stillness of the bay. Below you, bright blue tracer lines suddenly appear in the water as small fish dart through the blackness.
Bioluminescence is a form of natural light created by living organisms converting internal chemical energy into light. The light in Mosquito Bay is created by a tiny organism called Dinoflagellate.
Mosquito Bay contains an astonishing number, roughly 700,000 of these glowing fellas per single gallon of water. Although they are microscopic, the light they give off is a hundred times larger themselves, and in great numbers they light up like an underwater aurora borealis.

Workers' Memorial Day
Today is Workers' Memorial Day, an international day of remembrance and action for workers killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work. According to the International Labour Organisation, across the world each year, more than two million women and men die as a result of work-related accidents and diseases.
Workers suffer approximately 270 million occupational accidents each year, and fall victim to some 160 million incidents of work-related illnesses. Hazardous substances kill 440,000 workers annually – asbestos claims 100,000 lives. One worker dies every 15 seconds worldwide. 6,000 workers die every day. Work kills more people than wars.
Workers' Memorial Day is an opportunity to highlight the preventable nature of most workplace accidents and ill health and to promote campaigns and union organisation in the fight for improvements in workplace safety. The slogan for the day is Remember the Dead - Fight for the Living.

The World's Most Dangerous Bird
Cassowaries are very large flightless birds native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia. Normally cassowaries are very shy but when disturbed can lash out dangerously with their powerful legs.
They are capable of inflicting fatal injuries to an adult human. Wounded or cornered birds are particularly dangerous. Cassowaries, deftly using their surroundings to conceal their movements, have been known to out-flank organized groups of human predators.
Cassowaries are considered to be one of the most dangerous animals to keep in zoos, based on the frequency and severity of injuries incurred by zookeepers.

Sod's Law
Ever heard of Murphy's Law, Sod's Law, or Finagle's Law of Dynamic Negatives? They're actually the same and they are telling us that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
This explains why your email will most likely crash as you try to send something important, how the chances of you spilling a drink down your clothes are highest just before a date, and why it's a safe bet that your heating will most often break down during a cold snap.
British Gas commissioned scientists to come up with a formula to predict Sod's Law. They did just that and also found out that things don't just go wrong, they do so at the most annoying moment.

Real Men Wear Kilts
This website is devoted to the wearing of the kilt. There are other sites detailing the history of the kilt, how to wear the kilt, etc., but not one that celebrated the wearing of this simple but somewhat controversial fashion.
When you attend a formal event in a sea of white ties and tails, everyone looks the same - except of course for those fashionable few who opt for the formal kilt instead of a penguin suit.
Without question, wearing a kilt in a crowd will always garner more attention that any tuxedo or suit.

Ohio Crybaby Bridge Tour
There are many bridges in the United States known as Crybaby Bridge. Most are named this because the sound of a baby can be, or has been, heard from the bridge. Most are accompanied by a legend of a baby or young child/children being killed nearby, or thrown from the bridge into the river or creek below.
With some variations, most crybaby bridge legends have this in common: park your car over or under the bridge, and you will soon hear the sounds of a person crying.

The History Of Computer Data Storage
Nowadays we are used to having hundreds of gigabytes of storage capacity in our computers. This was pure science fiction only a few decades ago. For example, the first hard disk drive to have more than 1 GB in capacity was the size of a refrigerator, weighed 550 pounds and the price when it was introduced ranged from $81,000 to $142,400.
Pictured above is the IBM Model 350, the first-ever hard disk drive. Here is a look back at some interesting storage devices from the early computer era.

Gaffe A Minute
A gaffe is a clumsy social error, a faux pas, a blatant mistake or misjudgment. Gaffe a Minute relishes the wit in witlessness - in our daily glitches, malapropisms, and pratfalls. Here you can revel in the blunders of others, confess your own flubs, or measure your gaffe quotient.Gaffe a Minute celebrates stories that give new meaning to the term 'idiot proof.' The website's founders fall into two categories: error-prone and (mostly) error-proof. One sleeps, the other doesn't. One is directionally impaired, the other homes in correctly. One has much more fun on a daily basis. One laughs at herself; the other also laughs at her.
We now live in a state known for its political gaffes. But the gaffes we revel in most are our own - and those of our friends. We hope you'll 'fess up and tell stories on yourself, too.

Dangerous Pathway
El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway, often shortened to El Camino del Rey) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Alora in Spain.
The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall.
Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.

Sun Tzu's 'The Art Of War' Online
Sun Tzu, born around 500 B.C., was a Chinese general, military theorist, and philosopher. He is the author of the world's first and potentially most long-lived work of military theory, The Art of War, also known as The Thirteen Chapters.
Sun Tzu was the first to set out what we would now recognize as principles of war: moral influence, weather, terrain, command, and doctrine. The first meant the trust of people in their leaders. By 'command' he meant the qualities and ability of the general and by 'doctrine' he meant organization, command and control, and logistics.
The Art of War is now online as a PDF document.
