A luxury shopping centre in Shanghai has attempted to combat declining sales by installing a five-storey high stainless steel slide so consumers can drop from top floor stores to ground floor boutiques at super speeds. Located in Shanghai’s exclusive Pudong District, the Printemps shopping outlet features state of the art amenities, designer brands and an impressive 150-year Parisian retailing history. Since its launch, the dragon-shaped slide has received mixed reviews with the Pudong New Area Market Supervision and Management Bureau claiming the slide does not require official in¬spection and approval because it doesn’t fall within the “special equip¬ment” category. As such, there are now concerns over safety with local resident, Yao Jin, saying, “My son was very ex¬cited and very interested to have a try, but I still have some…

Thinking of a holiday destination this year? Forget Hawaii, London or France and journey to the Bahamas to experience bliss on Pig Beach. This small piece of paradise located in the Exuma Cays, has welcomed celebrities such as, Johnny Depp, Nicholas Cage and David Copperfield. Photographer and ocean guide, Jim Abernethy, stumbled across Pig Beach on a small island called Big Major Cay a couple of years ago where he found a few dozen pleasant-natured pigs. Basking in the sun, enjoying their own island and frolicking in the sea, the pigs are friendly towards tourists and locals. Deemed as the Official Home of the Swimming Pigs, the happy animals have become so popular that they have inspired a children’s book, ‘The Secret of Pig’s Island’, by Jennifer R. Nolan, and…

People suffering from arachnophobia can now ditch the rolled up paper and embrace a humane and touch-free way to get rid of spiders. The device, called the Critter Catcher, enables the user to keep spiders at arm’s length and then scoop them up to safely deposit them outside. The unique tool resembles a brush, however, the bristles are splayed apart and works when the user pushes a lever on its handle. The brush then closes and traps the creepy crawly inside. Despite the potential for smaller spiders and insects to escape through the bristles, we would be willing to take the risk. Described as the “eco-friendly way to safely catch spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, wasps, stink bugs and many other household pets,” the video on YouTube demonstrating the Critter Catcher has…

A British couple are hoping to make a fortune from a lump of whale vomit. Gary Williams and his wife, Angela, discovered a large piece of whale spew, otherwise known as ambergris, which they anticipate will fetch over $70,000. The pricy puke is often used by perfume makers to help a particular scent last longer. Gary and Angela found the ambergris during a walk along the beach near Morecambe Bay in Lancashire where Gary reported, “It was down a section of the beach where no one really walks... It’s a very distinctive smell, like a cross between squid and farmyard manure.” Scientists suspect that whale vomit forms when the animal swallows a foreign object. Gary described the find as “It feels like a rock hard rubber ball... Its texture is…

A Duke University American press release has recently revealed there is an animal out there that produces urine that smells like buttered popcorn. The bearcat is described as a “shy, shaggy-haired creature from Southeast Asia” and also known as a binturong. A group of researchers discovered information in a published journal paper called, The Science of Nature - Naturwissenschaften, that suggested bearcat pee contains a compound called “2-acetly-1-pyrroline” or 2-AP which represents the same compound that gives popcorn it’s tantalizing scent. According to the journal, “Binturongs pee in a squatting position, soaking their feet and bushy tails in the process. They also drag their tails as they move about in the trees, leaving a scent trail on the branches and leaves behind them” Sounds pretty gross, but scientists believe the…

This trick is very difficult to do (especially on the ramp that Josh is doing it on) because it is so steep. Start off with a ramp less steep. STEP 1: Make sure you focus on the spot that you will exit from first. STEP 2: Move your front foot over the top two bolts of your board so it’s closer to the nose. This will help for the step of the trick. STEP 3: Start to lift your arms above your head. This will help you drive up the ramp with speed. Bend your front knee, rolling your front foot over a little. STEP 4: Let the back truck of your board lock against the coping or edge of the ramp so you get your balance again. STEP 5:…

I was riding my bike when I saw people watching so I went faster and faster until I ran into a car and went flying inside (if youre wondering, the car I ran into was a Jeep from Philippines that has a door at the back).
