The mystery of how the huge crop circles were made overnight stirs curiosity to a lot of people. Is this a paranormal activity — were the field circle patterns created by extraterrestrial forces? Do you think the crop circle formations were products of human efforts? If they were, what technology was used to make or create the symmetrical designs?


Whatever the answer is, the so-called Alien Crop Circles are doing good to the community, resulting to major tourist attractions.

A report of a second 3-foot-long animal Montauk Monster washing up on a Southold beach has conjured memories of the strange finding of the same Montauk Monster on the East End last summer of 2008. Is this Montauk Monster real or is this just a dead big bulldog? See the photos yourself and decide.

Here is the 2008 photo:

For the Vietnamese, snakes are a source of good beverage. Vietnam people made sure that a healthy liquor from snakes can be produced with health benefits. They produce the snake wine. According to this site, “The venomous cobra snake used to make Snake wine is preserved to have the snake poison dissolved in the rice wine, but because snake venoms are protein-based they are inactivated by the denaturing effects of ethanol, and no more dangerous, but this makes a healthy liquor with many health benefits.” Convinced? Enjoy the pictures.

Too much unsightly body hair can look so ugly, especially if the hair grows in areas people don’t expect to see. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Chinese man Yu Zhenhuan as the hairiest man in the world, with 96.5 per cent of his body covered with hair. How do you like that? Here are some pictures of the Hairy Humans.

A strange or weird car for one may not be strange or weird for another. It all depends on the taste. Some car owners just want to have unique vehicles; owning weird cars is like boosting their CVs.

Here are few photos of the strangest cars or strangest car designs you can find online.

How would you like your puppy or dogs to glow in the dark? South Korean scientists have already created four glow-in-the-dark dogs by using cloning techniques. One dog is named Ruppy – short for Ruby Puppy – considered now to be the world’s first transgenic dog. According to a report, the dogs “are beagles and look fairly normal in daylight, but when darkness falls and the ultraviolet light comes out, they glow red.”
