Super Belgian Bull..

Mooooove over Incredible Hulk! This Belgian blue bull weighs around 640 kilograms (1,400 pounds). That's 25 percent more muscle mass than is found in other breeds of bulls.

What makes this breed so bulky? Like you--or any vertebrate (animal with a backbone)--this male cow sports skeletal muscles (tissues that attach to bones and shorten to produce movement). Inside each muscle are muscle cells stuffed with stringy filaments called myofibrils (my-uh-FY-bruls). Everyday activity causes tiny tears in these cells. In response, the body makes new myofibrils, and stitches up the tears. It's the added myofibrils that make for larger muscles.

To keep muscles from ballooning, most vertebrates have a natural brake--a protein called myostatin (MY-uh-STATin). The Belgian bull's bulk-up secret? The super bull has a genetic mutation (change to DNA) that prevents it from making myostatin. This out-of-whack gene let's the bull's muscles grow larger than usual. And certain muscles--such as those toward its hind area--bulk up more than others, says Eduardo Casas, a geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Now scientists hope to tap into this mighty mutation to help people. "If you could find ways to block myostatin [in humans], you might improve muscle mass in people who have muscle-wasting diseases [such as muscular dystrophy]," says Se-Jin Lee, a geneticist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Chinese students spend summer holidays trading faces..

Like a growing number of students in China, Pan Ou will spend her university vacation going under the knife in a plastic surgery procedure she hopes will boost her chances of getting a good job after graduation.

"I want to be more beautiful, to perfect myself," Pan, a student at one of China's most prestigious law schools, told Reuters in the waiting room of EverCare Xingfu hospital.

"My face is too big and flat, like all Asians. I would also like to make my nose higher," said the attractive 23-year-old.

The EverCare in Beijing is one of thousands of plastic surgery clinics mushrooming across China with promises to make patients more beautiful, more successful and more marriageable.

The mobile home - complete with garage..

It is a home away from home with all the mod cons of 21st century living.
But as well as its spacious dining room, kitchen, bathroom and sleeping quarters, the Volkner Mobil mobile home comes with one added extra - a garage for your car.
Where on a more conventional vehicle you would expect to find a hold for luggage, a 'door' beneath the main body of the vehicle opens up to reveal a space large enough to stow a family car.
It is perfect for travellers hankering after a little more freedom on holiday, allowing them to take on excursions or trips to the supermarket without having to uproot the entire contents of their motor home at the same time.
The latest take on mobile living is on display at the International Caravan Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany, where it will remain until September 3.

Irony..?

Can You See It..?

Caption This..

This bridge is between Sweden and Denmark .

The bridge (or should it be called tunnel) goes under water to allow movement of ships to pass, this bridge is half under the water. You drive down in the water and then come out on the other side. Truly a marvelous piece of engineering! Picture taken from the side of Sweden.
