Those are most bizzare ice cream flavors,around the world. Take a look…

1imagesadad13 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Foie Gras and Caviar Ice Cream

Japan is still the king of weird ice cream flavors, but France isn’t far behind after gourmet ice cream maker Philippe Faur released the … foie gras and caviar ice cream!

2imagesadad12 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Candied Bacon Ice Cream

Because everyone likes bacon and there’s no reason to restrict its intake to breakfast, ice cream expert David Lebovitz experimented by making candied bacon ice cream. Considering that the resulting smoky/salty/cinnamon-tinged dessert got a thumbs up from his butcher, it seems that his recipe was a success.

3imagesadad13 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Natural Viagra Ice Cream

Just what the ice cream shops have been missing – Viagra flavored ice cream. I just didn’t know Viagra had a flavor, nor do I want to know what it’s like.

4imagesadad11 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Fish Ice Cream

Fish-flavoured ice-cream from Japan! Weird foods are plenty in East-Asia, but although fish and ice-cream are two perfectly normal ingredients, combining them together just seems wrong!

5imagesadad10 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Black Sesame Ice Cream

Japanese Black Sesame Ice Cream – Most impressed by the deep colour of the ice cream and the fact that it’s dusted with ground sesame seeds. The contrast of the strawberry Pocky stick was rather cute.

6imagesadad9 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Octopus Ice Cream

Want to tantalize the taste buds with a tentacle? If so, Octopus Ice Cream is the go. Japanese have been able to come up with an amazing variety of uses for octopus, ranging from delicacy to p0rn0 movie prop. Little wonder that octopus has found its way into ice cream, then.

7imagesadad8 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Potato Ice Cream

A new ‘mash Cone’ consisting of sausage, mash potato, gravy and peas in an ice cream cone has been invented. Food company Aunt Bessie’s claims it is breathing new life into the fortunes of the ice cream van by replacing the 99 Flake with an all-weather alternative.

8imagesadad8 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Charcoal Ice Cream

Charcoal Ice Cream, a dark grey coloured ice cream that I have no idea about the taste – but I am guessing it’s not that nice.

9imagesadad5 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Salad Ice Cream

An ice cream salad that definitely needs to be tossed. This ice cream, packed with chunks of veggies, is the sort of food that turns kids off their vegetables.

10imagesadad3 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Green Tea Ice Cream

Nice looking Japanese ice cream dessert found at a little cafe. This delicious looking thing is green tea ice, topped with nice sweetened red beans and then on top of all that a good scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is a bit of a strange concoction.

11imagesadad4 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Curry Carrot Ice Cream

If you can’t get your kids to eat salad, here is a recipe to include carrots in their menu — one cup of heavy cream, one cup of whole milk, one cup of coconut milk, carrots, egg yolks, brown sugar and spices.

12imagesadad2 Bizarre Ice Cream Flavors

Sweet Corn Ice Cream

The recipe is a bit interesting as the corn cob is simmered in the milk and cream to infuse it with even more corn flavour. Sounds weird, but people say it tastes really good!!

The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts


Certain celebrities are known for their looks or certain “assets” that if critically damaged or deformed, could impede their ability to make millions. From Jennifer Lopez’s butt to Dolly Parton’s chest, these women know that their careers are at stake should they be hurt in any way.

And that’s why they’ve taken out insurance on their bodies. Because in this day and age, when you can gamble against a deteriorating bank via credit default insurance, any kind of contract is possible. Below: Fifteen contracts that will no doubt help you feel at ease the next time your premium gets raised.

Heidi Klum’s legs: $2.2 million
Klum has both legs insured, but one happens to be worth more than the other: “The Victoria’s Secret strutter’s right gam is insured for $1.2 million, but her left is worth only $1 million. Why the discrepancy? A little scar on her left limb.”

1imagesadad4 The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts

Heidi Klum

America Ferrera’s teeth: $10 million
The Ugly Betty star is actually beautiful off the set, so it makes sense that her sponsor Aquafresh has insured her teeth for a whopping $10 million.

2imagesadad3 The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts

America Ferrera

Dolly Parton’s breasts: $300,000 a boob
Everyone loves Dolly Parton’s music, right? Well just in case that ever goes out of style, Parton had each breast insured for $300,000.

3imagesadad3 The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts

Dolly Parton

Tom Jones’s chest hair: $7 million
Believe it or not, Jones used to be considered a sex symbol, so to keep his sexiness in tact, he’s insured that mane of hair on his chest for a princely sum: “Tom Jones, still making elderly Las Vegas audiences swoon at age 67, lives in fear. Sure, he’s stayed famous for like half a century, and probably sexed enough women to populate a small and very satisfied country. But Tom believes all that could come crashing down with a single accident (say, a spontaneous shirt combustion) that in any way damages his luxuriant pelt of ches

Tom Jones

Jennifer Lopez’s butt: $27 million
If you were J. Lo, you’d insure your ass for $27 million, too. It’s not like the music and movies thing is going to go on forever.

5imagesadad3 The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts

Jennifer Lopez

Career-threatening injury to David Beckham: $151 million
Possibly the most ironic item on this list considering that Beckham recently had surgery on his achilles tendon. If he can’t play soccer again, Beckham can expect a cool $151 million payout.

6imagesadad3 The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts

David Beckham

Rod Stewart’s voice: $6 million
The “Hot Legs” and “Maggie May” singer is a crooner to the n-th degree, so to make sure his swagger always stays put, he’s insured his voice.

Rod Stewart

Keith Richards’s middle finger: $1.6 million
The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards has already said “f#$% you” to the world on multiple occasions, but just in case he can’t get one last flip of the bird in before he dies, Richards has insured his middle finger for $1.6 million.

8imagesadad4 The Most Bizarre Insurance Contracts

Keith Richards

David Lee Roth’s semen: $1 million
Diamond Dave had his child juice insured for a million bucks back in the 1980s just in case one of his stage flips went catastrophically wrong.

David Lee Roth

Celebrities are not the only one who makes bizarre insurance contracts.  Here it is, something that is not so famous like previous characters…

Taco Bell’s space station promotional bullseye insurance policy
During a promotion for a piece of the MIR Spacestation, Taco Bell said that if during re-entry the flying object hit a floating target the company had set up, everyone in the US would get a free taco. God forbid it actually happened: Taco Bell hedged with an insurance policy to avoid going completely bankrupt.

British male stripper insures his penis for $1.6 million. If you’re a male stripper, what else are you going to insure?

Food critic’s taste buds: $400,000
A food critic has one of the best jobs in the world, no doubt. But if they eat a wing too spicy or something like that, they risk their taste buds being obliterated, which would end their career. Hence the major insurance policy just in case things go wrong.

Alien abduction, impregnation and consumption: $1.5 million
There are actually over 20,000 people in the US alone who pay a premium for insurance against alien abduction.

ole-in-one insurance for golfers: $50,000
Sometimes golf tournaments offer big prizes for a golfer who hits a hole-in-one. But what if someone actually does it?
Lloyd’s will insure contest operators up to $50,000.

Thailand riot insurance: $10,000 per tourist
Thailand can be dangerous, so to encourage tourism, its government is offering insurance policies in case of a riot:
“Thailand is continuing to offer insurance coverage worth $10,000 to anyone harmed in riots and demonstrations as it seeks to attract tourists scared off by political turmoil, officials say.

The Mathematics of the Beatles


Another Breakthrough using Modern Mathematics to Understand Music
In October of 2008, a math professor at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia revealed an astonishing discovery: He had used math to understand the music of the Beatles!

1imagesadad2 The Mathematics of the Beatles

The specific song that this professor of mathematics and statistics (and musical enthusiast) Jason Brown had decided to analyze was the classic tune, “A Hard Day’s Night.” Even more specifically, Brown had sought to understand the exact musical composition of just a single chord: the song’s bizarre opening sound, which had puzzled musicians for years.

2imagesadad1 The Mathematics of the Beatles

Solving the Musical Puzzle

Brown, with his unique skill set, was able to recognize where previous musicians had failed in their attempts to recreate this difficult sound – they had been working with the wrong tools. Generally, a musician with a good ear and a talent for recognizing various sounds has the ability to recreate most traditional musical pieces, but there is a point at which this breaks down. When sounds are compiled using layered sounds and a variety of instruments, it can often be difficult (or even impossible) to fully recreate them using standard instruments.

4imagesadad1 The Mathematics of the Beatles

Brown saw that this was the case with that opening chord of “A Hard Day’s Night,” and so decided that he would use his mathematical abilities to help him solve the puzzle.
To begin with, Brown turned to modern technology to help him break the chord down into its various frequencies. Using a computer, he was able to determine the exact combination of harmonic frequencies which George Harrison had implemented (perhaps unknowingly) into the sound. From here, the construction of the chord merely consisted of finding a combination of tones which would create this same pattern – a mathematical puzzle.

6imagesadad1 The Mathematics of the Beatles

An Answer After 40 Years

So what did Jason Brown finally discover after his long search for the truth?

Nothing quite as remarkable as many people had hoped, but an answer which garnered international attention. Brown found that the chord in question could not be explained by merely George Harrison’s 12-string guitar, John Lennon’s 6-string and Paul McCartney’s Bass. There was a sound containing a frequency which could not have been played on any of these instruments, which made it impossible for the sound to be truly recreated in a traditional sense.

3imagesadad1 The Mathematics of the Beatles

While it may seem simple, and rather trivial, for such a journey to be undertaken in the first place, the journey of one mathematician to solve a generation-old Beatles riddle demonstrates still another important aspect of mathematics – its ability to transcend disciplines and sciences and to be made useful in even the most bizarre places.

10 Bizarre Predictions That Just Might Come True


1imagesadad2 10 Bizarre Predictions That Just Might Come True

Predicating the future used to belong to the world of psychics and mystics, but now you don’t need to be Nostradamus to see what the future holds. In fact, scientists are increasingly making bold predications about the future. If some of their forecasts are right then we could be living in a “brave new world”. We take a look at 10 bizarre predictions that might just come true.

10. Invisibility cloak

What would you do if you could be invisible for a day?  Well, according to The Telegraph , an invisibility cloak is only a few years away from being created. Robbing banks will get a whole lot easier.

9. Download brain onto a computer

2imagesadad3 10 Bizarre Predictions That Just Might Come True

Ray Kurzweil , a leading expert in the field of technology claims that by 2050 computers could be so powerful that we can actually download our brains into a computer – giving us eternal life. There are unconfirmed reports that Paris Hilton has downloaded her brain onto an old floppy disk in preperation.

8. Rise of global machine dictator

British Telecoms futurology department predict that we could be under the global robot dictator as early as 2021. A machine dictator will probably still be better than some of the people in power at the moment…

7. Brain chips

The ministry of defence released a report last year in which they claim that an implantable brain chip will embedded in the brain and allow the state, terrorist organisations and criminals to use people to mobilise flash mobs

3imagesadad2 10 Bizarre Predictions That Just Might Come True
By 2035, an implantable “information chip” could be wired directly to the brain. A growing pervasiveness of information communications technology will enable states, terrorists or criminals, to mobilise “flashmobs”, challenging security forces to match this potential agility coupled with an ability to concentrate forces quickly in a small area

6. Genetically engineered teddy bear

4imagesadad1 10 Bizarre Predictions That Just Might Come True

Back to the crazy world of the BT Futurology department and they predict that by 2038 the first genetically engineered Teddy Bear could be developed. Not sure if you’ll want to give these teddy bears to your children – unless they’ve been very bad!

5. Sweet robot loving

A.I expert, David Levy , predicts that by 2050 robots will be so lifelike that we’ll all want to get intimate with robots. Now nerds will have to listen to robot girlfriends telling them to do the dishes.

4. Binary “Deathstar”

Astronomers at the University of Sydney think that the Earth is inline with an unstable star and that it “will emit an “intense gamma ray” which will ultimately lead to mass extinction on Earth. Neat.

3. Aliens Save The World From Disaster

5imagesadad1 10 Bizarre Predictions That Just Might Come True

Steven Spielberg was right, not all aliens are bad. Buddist monks in Tibet think that alien superpowers will avert the apocalypse in 2012.

2. Human Race to split into 2 species

Hands up who has read The Time Machine recently? Well, a bunch of scientists must have overdosed on the H.G Wells classic because they think the human race is going to split into two separate species . One class will be the attractive and intelligent ruling elite, while the other will be an underclass of dim-witted goblin-like creatures.

7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.


Since the legend began in 1983, Mario Bros has grossed millions of Dollars –which proves its one of the greatest games ever created. Who doesn’t love the squat little Italian bloke in his red and blue plumber overalls!

There are millions of gamers all over the globe that grew up living vicariously through Mario and Luigi, bringing pain and suffering to stray mushrooms, turtles and dragon overlords wherever they may be. But there are things about this iconic game that you don’t know, and that will make this powerhouse of a game series even better when you play them all over again.

Image000056 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

1.Dynamite Comes In Small Packages

Image000065 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

Did you know that there are more kilobytes of data in a Word document than there were in the entire original Mario Bros game? At a whopping 40 kilobytes, the game still held over 80 different levels for you to play! Talk about a small package.

Even without top notch graphics Mario games have sold relentlessly, because of the epic journey he always has to take to save the princess. The original design team that created the game saved space by using the same graphics over and over again in different scenes, only changing certain colors and backdrops.

2.Mario Challenged Destiny

Image000075 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

Friday the 13th is one of those days than send superstitious people into shrieks of terror, and the rest of us wary about what we do, or say on this deathly day. Famous as being the ‘bad luck’ day of the year, businesses tend to steer clear of its influence by not doing anything important – because it might lead to their downfall.

But what kind of all-powerful superhero would Mario be if he cared about that kind of utter nonsense? At least this is what the creators of the game were thinking when they decided to do their launch on the 13th.

3.Inspired by Alice

Image0000110 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

he fact that Mario Bros exists in a wonderland is no coincidence. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario Bros was so inspired by the tale of Alice in Wonderland, that he incorporated features of the book into his video game. The Disney movie might have been lame, but the book was some seriously creative stuff. Mario’s favorite pastime is to eat mushrooms that cause him to grow and shrink. Sound familiar?

Of course Alice didn’t technically eat mushrooms all the time, but there was a lot of speculation that Lewis Carroll did when he was writing the book. Mario Bros is festooned with Wonderland references. Giant turtles, flying fish, fire spitting dragons – all of them inspired by Carroll. So not only is Mario Bros one of the best games ever created, but it’s also based on one of the most influential children’s books ever written.

4.Coincidental Design

8imagesadad 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

There were a few other interesting challenges that Shigeru had to face before packaging Mario Bros ready to be sold on the mass market. Mario’s hat, mustache and overalls were all created because they were simple, and defined the pixilated Mario a bit more from his surroundings. His hat was to replace the hair that Shigeru struggled to design on such a small scale, and his moustache was to give him a better shaped mouth to see on the screen.

5.The Famous Jump Punch Plumber

Image000026 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

mers will be interested to know that Mario has never actually broken any brick with his head. While it might seem like this in the original game, if you look closely you can actually see a tiny pixilated hand pounding the brick instead. It’s also been said that the quicker you jump punch the coin boxes, the more coins will spill out of it.

Have you ever wondered why Mario is a plumber? Initially he was a carpenter, but they changed him to a plumber when they realized it fit in better with the pipes he likes toexplore. This is also why the best levels are the underwater levels, when you can see Mario swimming frantically to get to his next pipe.

6.Paying His Dues

Image000036 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

Mario had some weird names before the creators landed on his now famous Italian one. The fiery Italian plumber owes his existence to Mario Seagale. He was the landlord of the Nintendo Headquarters in America, and unceremoniously interrupted a meeting to collect some overdue rent. You can only imagine how that conversation went – but the game production continued and the character we all know as Mario got a new name.

7.Fame and Fortune

Image000045 7 Bizarre Facts About The Mario Bros.

Never before has there been a character in the video gaming industry that has taken on as many challenges as Mario has. He’s appeared in hundreds of video games, and eventually even got his oven TV series. Clearly the idea of the game is what has sustained it, because even all these years later – people are still playing Mario Bros.
