That’s awesome! How did the Chinese built it? Man wonder,not?

The Leshan Giant Buddha is the tallest stone Buddha statue in the world, built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It is carved out of a cliff face that lies at the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers in the southern part of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan. The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below his feet.

Philippines always makes us astonish.

Penitencia is one of the most unusual Christian rituals performed nowadays.I’m ashamed to admit that I had no idea that the Philippines is the only officially Christian nation in Asia. What surprised me even more was their strong belief in God and the rituals they perform to prove their faith.
One of these rituals is Penitencia, where people actually get themselves nailed to the cross like Jesus Christ was. Others dress up like Roman soldiers and do all the nailing and the torturing. No one really dies in these proceedings, because they are only crucified for minutes, not hours, but it definitely isn’t pleasant( those nails really hurt).

The Most Dangerous Roads in the World
1. Bolivia’s “Road of Death”
The Yungas Road is legendary for its extreme danger. 
 In 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the “world’s most dangerous road”. One estimate is that 200-300 travelers are killed yearly along the road, or one vehicle every two weeks. The road moreover includes Christian crosses marking many of the spots where such vehicles have fallen.

This is apparently the latest fashion for body modifiers and thrill seekers. How can you imaging that?

I recently saw a documentary, on the Discovery Channel I think, with a couple who were into adrenalin-rush activities and were trying skin hanging for the first time. According to them, the insertion of those huge hooks into the skin is the hardest part of the process. First they have to make incisions using a scalpel and then push the hooks under the skin (I don’t even want to imagine how much that must hurt). The actual hanging part is the fun part, the guys in the documentary couldn’t describe exactly what they were feeling, except that they thought their skin could tear at any time, which is very likely if the hooks aren’t inserted correctly.
Anyway after they experienced skin hanging, they both said it was the ultimate thrill.
Really, I cannot accept these actions just like the Eyelid piercing and Piercing Necklace

Dumb title, I know, but that’s what I see every time I look at photos like these.

As a guy, I understand having a well-toned body is very important and I’m all for working out, but there’s got to be a limit, right? It’s not like we live in a world where men have to wrestle bears to survive, or anything like that, Conan-looking men don’t really fit in today’s society so I for one can’t understand why they push themselves to a point where they no longer even look human. It’s like their skin is literally about to explode from all that muscle mass, it’s insane.I particularly like the tall guy in the last picture, can you get more Popeye than that?

There’s nothing wrong with liking big-boobed women, but trying to insert a foreign object inside your leg just to make a tattoo look real, is a little extreme! I for one haven’t seen this procedure before, it’s definitely very…interesting, but I definitely wouldn’t go through it, even if that meant having a hot babe with me all the time.

The Phuket is a flashy Asian celebration, people try to avoid eating meat, drinking alcohol, having sex, swearing and generally try to behave. But the most intriguing aspect of this festival is the mutilation. Thousands of people pierce various parts of their bodies, especially their cheeks, walk on hot coals, all to invoke the gods. It is believed these people receive divine blessing, and that’s why they don’t suffer from severe bleeding, infections or significant scarring. Each year these acts of self-mutilation have gotten more and more gruesome, with people sticking the most unusual things through their bodies.

The following  pictures have been taken at the 2007 Phuket Vegetarian Festival:

Scariest Places On Earth -Lucedio Abbey, Italy
The Lucedio abbey was founded in 1124; Renier, Marquess of Monferrato providing an extensive tract of marsh, heath and woodland known as Locez, on whose agricultural development the future prosperity of Lucedio would depend.
As the second daughter-house of La Ferté (after Tiglieto Abbey, in the Ligurian Apennines), this was one of the earliest Cistercian monasteries in Italy. Lucedio contributed in its turn to the expansion of the Cistercian Order by giving birth to three daughter-houses over the next eighty years: S. Maria di Chiaravalle della Castagnola (1147) in the Marche, Rivalta Scrivia (1180) near Tortona and Acqualunga (1204) near Pavia.
