9 Most Bizarre Bath Around The World

Curry Bath

The photo shows a boy enjoying the curry hot spring in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan. According to the boss of the hot spring center, this kind of bath can improve blood circulation and protect our skin.

Petroleum Bath

I think this is the most dangerous bath. Make sure there is no flame in the bathroom when you are having Petroleum Bath. The man in the photo above is enjoying the petroleum bath in a sanitarium in Naftalan, Azerbaijan. It is said that this kind of petroleum is full of sulphur and it’s very effective in defense against arthritics and skin disease.

Red Wine Bath

I love this one! The photo shows a wine steward pouring a bottle of French wine into the hot spring bath in Hakone Kowakien, Japan. If you don’t mind the red wine is getting dirtier, you can drink the red wine while enjoying the bath, anyway I won’t do that…

Soil Bath

In Japan’s Kyushu Island, people put their whole bodies into the soil to enjoy the soil bath. It is said that this kind of SPA can promote our body to discharge sweat. Sounds good!

Beer Bath

In the hot spring site at Hakone, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, people are enjoying the beer hot spring. So, if you don’t like red wine and prefer beer, this type is for you.

Black Mud Bath

the “dead sea” site at Daying County, Sichuan province, tourists cover their body with black mud to relax themselves. This black mud is quite famous, some people use it for facial mask.

Milk Bath

Some celebrites revealed that the secret to take care of their skins is taking milk bath. I heard it was also Princess Diana’s favourite…

Chocolate Bath

Tomato bath

You can have this Tomato bath during Tomato Festival in Bogota, Columbia. People are immersed in the tomato ocean to celebrate the festival.

World's Bizarre Structure - Giant Pin Cushion.

Just take a glance at the relatively tiny man in the bottom left-hand corner of the photograph below to gain a measure of the scale of this bizarre structure that looks like a giant pin cushion.

The 'Seed Cathedral', the intended centrepiece of the United Kingdom Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, also comes with an equally enormous bill for the British taxpayer.

Costing £25million to build, the 60ft-high cube-like construction is covered by 60,000 quivering, transparent acrylic rods,received investment from eight Government departments and agencies.


It was organised by UK Trade & Investment, a government agency which promotes British companies abroad.

It's purpose is to present a dynamic view of Britain to the outside world and counter persistent Chinese perceptions of a Victorian-era UK.

UKTI chief executive officer Sir Andrew Cahn said: 'The Chinese view of Britain is a rather old-fashioned one; it’s all to do with Britain as being a heritage country, a traditional economy - there’s an awful lot of cobblestones and fog.

'It hopes that updating Chinese preconceptions will attract foreign investors and students to Britain, as well as encourage exports between the two countries.



'We think of Britain as a cutting-edge, forward-looking country.'

So, as Britain faces a national debt of nearly £800billion, the organisers' fingers must be hoping it wows wealthy visitors and doesn't leave us a laughing stock as well as further out of pocket.

The Foreign Office, which oversees UKTI, would not disclose at how much taxpayers' cash had been used to build the Seed Cathedral.

A spokesman for the department told Mail Online tonight that the full details could not be obtained until tomorrow morning.

He said that five corporate sponsors had also invested in the Shanghai project and when asked if the majority of the cash was public money, the spokesman would only say a 'large chunk of it was'

The building was designed by Thomas Heatherwick, who is best known for The B of the Bang sculpture in Manchester, and it was inspired by the UK’s public parks and gardens to meet the Expo’s brief of 'Better City, Better Life'.

He also created the East Beach Cafe in Littlehampton, the Rolling Bridge in London and the Blue Carpet in Newcastle.

He is also a senior fellow and external examiner at the Royal College of Art and a fellow of the Royal Academy.

The World Expo starts later this year and lasts six months.

Hole in the Wall for Smokers

Hole in the Wall Smokers PointA German bar owner has got round a smoking ban by cutting holes in the wall so customers can stick their heads out to have a cigarette.

Michael Windisch, owner of the Maltermeister Turm bar and restaurant in Goslar, Lower Saxony, cut three holes next to tables in his restaurant after local authorities introduced the ban on smoking in all eating places.

Customers who want to smoke can stick their heads through the large holes and their hands through the other two so they can have a cigarette. A curtain has been mounted to keep out the cold.

Mr Windisch said that using the "smoking point," customers could put their heads through a large hole and their hands through two smaller side-holes, then legally enjoy a cigarette without having to go outside.

Windisch said, "Now my customers can legally enjoy a cigarette without having to leave the comfort of the restaurant."

Local media have claimed the idea is likely to catch on in other parts of the country where blanket bans in smoking in restaurants are to be introduced from the New Year.

Rhino Foundation Says Give Rhino Shit For Christmas

Rhino Foundation Says Give Rhino Shit For ChristmasStumped about what to give that special someone this Christmas? How about some rhino poop? The International Rhino Foundation is auctioning separately on eBay four pieces of dung from the endangered species and will use the proceeds to fund conservation efforts.

The pieces come from four of the five types of rhino: white, black, Indian and Sumatran. The Javan rhino is so rare, a sample could not be collected.

Each piece is dried, mounted in a clear trophy case and marked with the type of rhino that produced it.

The auction ends Sunday and as of Thursday afternoon bidding had been light, with the top bid for Sumatran rhino poop standing at $500. Black rhino poop was standing at $255, Indian was at $250 and white was at $122.50.

The foundation, which is based at the White Oak Conservation Center, says only about 17,500 rhinos remain in the wild with another 1,200 living in captivity.

Swedes lose battle to bathe topless

Don't expect to see this in SwedenSwedish women who want to go topless on beaches and in swimming pools have lost their legal battle to strip off.

The case, taken by two women who were barred from baring at a public pool, has been rejected by the country's equality watchdog.

They wanted to be given the right to bathe topless, and claimed women were victims of discrimination.

However, Anne-Marie Bergstrom, the equal opportunities ombudsman, scuppered the plea by dropping this bombshell: 'There is a physical difference between a woman's upper body and that of a man.'

She added: 'There is also a great difference between how people in general perceive men's and women's bodies.

'It is therefore hard to maintain that [the topless women] were in a comparable situation to men who bathed with naked upper bodies.'

The case has sparked widespread debate in Sweden, and led to the formation of the Bara Bradiost, or the Just Breasts campaign.

One of the women who brought the case, 22-year-old Ragnhild Karlsson, said: 'Of course we are disappointed. I think it's sad that society is the way it is - that men don't have to cover their upper bodies but women do.'

Although she rejected the case, the ombudsman maintained it was important that the issue had been raised.

'The case has achieved a lot of attention and it is good that we can have a discussion about unequal rules for the bodies of men and women,' she said.

Despite the setback, Ms Karlsson says the campaign will still continue through 'political means'.

No sex in space for astronauts!

No sex in space for astronauts!
Astronauts offering etiquette lessons to space tourists have warned them to keep their libidos firmly on the ground, as sex in space could seriously jeopardise missions.

At the International Symposium for Personal Spaceflight in Las Cruces, New Mexico, US, former shuttle astronaut Tom Jones said over queries whether sex in space missions was permissible, that he would "like to leave that for the commercial sector" as "out-of-this-world sex could jeopardise missions".

At the summit astronauts and space doctors gave prospective space tourists advice ranging from the serious, like not looking directly at the Sun, to the not so serious, not hogging prime viewing space at the windows.

Astronauts said since the tourists will not be from among the highly trained, highly accomplished astronaut corps, but average civilians, they needed to learn the basics of space travel.

Issues like cleaning up the toilet after one use, though might sound trivial, was important, for they were all about practicality, they said.

"If you don't take care of your own responsibilities, tension can build up, especially on a long-duration space flight," New Scientist quoted Jones, who is now on the advisory board for Space Adventures, the company that currently books orbital flights for tourists on Russia's Soyuz rocket, as saying.

Tension in such close confines could even lead to the space version of air rage, he said, adding it was something for which space tourism companies will have to develop procedures to deal with.

"This would be a real drag to happen on your space tourism flight. To prevent conflict, tourists should not spend too much time at the windows during their limited time above the Earth," added Jay Buckey, a former astronaut who studies space physiology at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, US.

Buckey said space sickness was a big issue for novice space flyers.

Even highly trained test pilots still get queasy in the new environment of microgravity. Medication will probably be part of the solution, he said.

He said research by NASA scientists on students who flew experiments on the C-9 aircraft that simulates weightlessness, revealed a much lower rate of motion sickness among students who were administered anti-motion sickness drugs.

But the drug they inject to quell space sickness, promethazine – sold under the brand name Phenergan, has its own set of problems. In space, Phenergan has been linked to urinary retention. Four crew-members have had to have catheters inserted into their bladders during spaceflights, Buckey added.

Researchers said tourists should never look directly at the Sun while in space.

"One space tourist had burned his retina on his mission because he had taken pictures of the Sun with a high-magnification lens," said a flight surgeon.

Other practical advice offered, included asking women space tourists to cut their hair short, as it took longer time to wash and dry hair while in space, and use of duct tape while cutting nails so that the nail clippings did not float about in the cabin, causing problem to other passengers.

On a final note, astronauts said, tourists, who wanted to take their drinks aboard the shuttle, should avoid coloured beverages, as liquids form a sphere in the absence of gravity.

"On one of our shuttle flights, a sphere of grape juice splattered against the walls of the cabin, leaving residue for the crew to mop up.

Later, the next shuttle crew was checking out that same orbiter back at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US. I was embarrassed to find our grape spots six months later were still on the walls and switch panels," Jones said.

"So the lesson for tourists is if you're going to play with your drinks, avoid coloured beverages. It's best to use plain water. Water doesn't colour the cabin," added shuttle astronaut Mario Runco.

Panties for the Internet Addict

HTTP 403 Panties
If you have used the Internet for a few hours or more, I am sure you have run across the "404 Not Found" error page on some problematic websites, this means you've either stumbled onto the wrong page, or you’ve been snooping where you shouldn't be!

One nice thing about the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that runs the web (HTTP for short) is that it includes helpful status codes such as "404 Not Found" when a resource can’t be found and "403 Forbidden” when the web page you are trying to access disallows your access.

The creative designers from ThinkGeek come up with pretty bright ideas and printed the HTTP codes on stuff we wear. But not just any stuff - they print them on undies. They name it theHTTPanties.

Geek Panties
The 403 forbidden panties. I think this is suitable for geeky IT girls

On second thought, perhaps this is a better choice for them

The W3C compliant HTTPanties are 100% cotton and very soft, comfortable and stretchy. They are designed to fit low and have full coverage in the back. Thinking of getting one? Then, remember to visit ThinkGeek. They retail for US$7.99.

10 Worst Company Domains

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company… www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com
