This guy(father) went to makkah from Malayisa record this..its about a pregnant lady who already have 2 daughters and she conceived again n the doctor confirmed that she getting one more baby girl n she was not happy at all. She ahd a fight with her husband who said to her "its better if u deliver a snake than another baby girl !!" ...................Oh ma GOD.!! whenever anybody ask what baby(sex) she is going to deliver she used to say that its a snake baby, till the labor day came n she really give birth to a girl with snake face. Scintifically: It is a genetic deformity of skin cud be caused by many reasons like radiation chemicals etc. |
Glasswing Butterfly!
This is a real butterfly from Central America:
Glasswing butterflies look even more delicate than regular butterflies, lacking thescales that usually give their wings color, resulting in insects that look like they were handcrafted by tiny artistic fingers.

►Faster than light neutrinos? More like faulty wiring◄
Ever since the news came out on September 22 of last year that a team of researchers in Italy had clocked neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light, the physics world has been resounding with the potential implications of such a discovery — that is, if it were true. The speed of light has been a key component of the standard model of physics for over a century, an Einstein- established limit that particles weren’t supposed to be able to break, not even a little.
Now, according to a breaking news article by Edwin Cartlidge on AAAS’ ScienceInsider, the neutrinos may be cleared of any speed violations.
“According to sources familiar with the experiment, the 60 nanoseconds discrepancy appears to come from a bad connection between a fiber optic cable that connects to the GPS receiver used to correct the timing of the neutrinos’ flight and an electronic card in a computer,” Cartlidge reported. 
MAN WITH TWO FACESA man reportedly had a second face on the back of his head, it even laughed and cried.His name was Edward Mordrake, and he was born with an extra face on the back of his head. Although the face was not able to speak, it reportedly laughed and cried. Mordrake begged doctors to remove his “demon head” because it whispered horrible things to him at night but no doctors attempted it.He committed suicide at age 23. However, take this with a grain of salt, because it has been difficult to determine the true facts behind his case. Everything from the way he committed suicide to the exact placement of his second face has been debated.

The Hurricane Tree :This is an amazing shot by Jocke Berglund of Sweden that has just won him a prize in the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer Of The Year competition. Flying over SmÅland photographing the devastation, Jocke– who specializes in aerial photography – saw this ‘remarkable oak tree print’.It formed partly by the storm brush of nature and partly by the impact on the soil of the forestry machines retrieving logs. ‘It’s as if the heavens had sent a message to the forest industry reminding them that, in this area, deciduous trees would have withstood the winds much better than pine.It’s also another stark reminder that global warming will lead to regular and stronger storm winds.’
Building Rotates 360 Degrees!
A company in Brazil which name is Suite Vollard builded a building in which each floor can rotate 360 degrees. Each building has 11 apartments and each apartment can spin individually in any direction. One rotation takes a full hour, but apartment owner can set rotation speed through apartment control panel. Facades are made of three different types of glass which give wonderful effects when building spins during the sunset. Cost of each apartment is $US 300,000.000.
Rainbow Eucalyptus–The Most Colorful Tree on Earth:
These trees may look like they've been painted on, but these colors are all natural. This peculiar tree is called Eucalyptus deglupta, commonly known as the Rainbow Eucalyptus, and also known as the Mindanao Gum, or the Rainbow Gum. The multi-coloured streaks on its trunk comes from patches of outer bark that are shed annually at different times, showing the bright-green inner bark. This then darkens and matures to give blue, purple, orange and then maroon tones. Eucalyptus deglupta is the only Eucalyptus species found naturally in the Northern Hemisphere. It grows naturally in New Britain, New Guinea, Ceram, Sulawesi and Mindanao. Now, this tree is cultivated widely around the world, mainly for pulpwood used in making paper, and also for ornamental purposes.
Justizzentrum Leoben (Austria):
a 5-star prison Beautiful glass and stainless steel office building? Nope – that's a five-star prison in Styria, Austria! If you look at these figures comparing crime in Austria and crime in the U.S. you'll notice something odd: although the U.S. has higher crime rates in virtually every category (murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, etc…) the Austrians triumph in one category: burglary. But why? Why is the rate of burglaries in Austria a whopping 40% higher than in the U.S.? I'll tell you why: because Austrian minimum security prisons are f—ing awesome! If you're in Austria, and have a working brain, you should be trying to get into one right now..
Stretchable Electronics:

Electronics that can be bent and stretched might sound like science fiction. But Uppsala researcher Zhigang Wu, working with collaborators, has devised a wireless sensor that can stand to be stretched. For example, the sensor can measure intensive body movements and wirelessly send information directly to a computer.
Mumbai will have the world's tallest residential building, nearly half a km in height, by 2014, providing an unhindered view of the city from all sides. City-based realty group Lodha Developers will collaborate with two New York-based firms to build an over 450 metre residential tower at Worli in south-central Mumbai at a cost of 2,000 crore ($424.67 million), the company said here Tuesday. The project has been christened World One and will be built on a 17-acre site at Worli (south-central Mumbai). It will include a 117-storeyed tower, around 1,450 feet, which will be the world's tallest residential building," the firm's managing director Abhisheck Lodha told media persons here. The World One complex, which will have two more towers, shall offer 300 exclusive 3-4 bedroom flats, lavish villas with private swimming pools and a few duplex suites.The unique 360 degrees curved design will enable all the residents an unrestricted view of entire Mumbai from all sides. The project is estimated to use over 250,000 cubic metres cement-concrete, 35,000 metric tonnes of steel rebars, 40,000 square metres of glass, 18 high- speed lifts, each travelling at nearly 3 floors per second. For the luxurious in-house feel, all the components for the kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms shall come from Germany, Italy, Japan, the US and France.
History of the Helicopter Igor Sikorsky and other early pioneers
During the mid 1500's, Italian inventor Leonardo Da Vinci made drawings of an ornithopter flying machine that some experts say inspired the modern day helicopter. In 1784, French inventor, Launoy and Bienvenue created a toy with a rotary-wing that could lift and fly and proved the principle of helicopter flight. Origins of the Name In 1863, the French writer Ponton D'Amecourt was the first person to coin the term "helicopter" from the two words "helico" for spiral and "pter" for wings. The very first piloted helicopter was invented by Paul Cornu in 1907, however, this design was not successful. French inventor, Etienne Oehmichen built and flew a helicopter one kilometer in 1924. Another early helicopter that flew for a decent distance was the German Focke-Wulf Fw 61, invented by an unknown inventor. Igor Sikorsky Igor Sikorsky is considered to be the "father" of helicopters not because he invented the first. He is called that because he invented the first successful helicopter, upon which further designs were based. One of aviation's greatest designers, Russian born Igor Sikorsky began work on helicopters as early as 1910. By 1940, Igor Sikorsky's successful VS-300 had become the model for all modern single- rotor helicopters. He also designed and built the first military helicopter, XR-4, which he delivered to Colonel Franklin Gregory of the U.S. Army. Igor Sikorsky's helicopters had the control to fly safely forwards and backwards, up and down, and sideways. In 1958, Igor Sikorsky's rotorcraft company made the world's first helicopter that had a boat hull and could land and takeoff from water. It could also float on the water.
Amazing pictures- Cloud covered island:
Litla Dimun is a small island between the islands of Suouroy and Stora Dimun in the Faroe Islands. It is the smallest of the main 18 islands, being less than 100 hectares (250 acres) in area, and is the only uninhabited one. The southern third of the island is sheer cliff, with the rest rising to the mountain of Slættirnir, which reaches 414 metres (1,358 ft). The island is only inhabited by feral sheep and seabirds. Getting ashore is difficult, and can be performed only in perfect weather. The cliffs can be climbed with the aid of ropes.
China Opens World's Longest Sea Bridge: The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, connecting the city of Qingdao in Eastern China's Shandong province with the suburban Huangdao District across the waters of the northern part of Jiaozhou Bay, is the longest bridge over water. The 42.5 kilometer bridge is more than 4 kilometers longer than its previous record holder - a bridge over water is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana. The six-lane bridge is expected to carry over 30,000 cars a day and will cut the commute between the city of Qingdao and the sprawling suburb of Huangdao by between 20 and 30 minutes. —

project idea for mechanical engineers:
The energy sources for man are drying up. The era of fossil fuels is
going to end very soon. Scientists are now working on to find new
renewable sources of energy. Along with renewable energy sources like
light and wind comes gravity. Gravity is a phenomenon that existed from the very beginning of the universe but only discovered by Sir Isaac Newton not mor e than 400 years ago. Recently scientists started generating energy from gravity.
The basic concept of a gravity power generating mechanism is simple.
When a body goes down from a higher altitude to a lower one its
potential energy is converted into kinetic energy via linear motion.
This motion is converted circular motion and is then converted to
electricity using a dynamo. One challenge in this mechanism is about
getting continuous supply of energy. A body cannot go downward
infinitely, but for continuous power generation this practically
impossible scenario is necessary.
An interesting solution for
this problem was invented by Mr. Rajesh Mulchandani and he has applied
for patent. He uses gravity and buoyancy of water to generate a
continuous up and down motion. The mechanism consists of a water filled
tank with 50-60meters high with 2 balanced masses capable of moving
using both buoyancy and gravity. You can see the full mechanism here http://powerfromgravity.com/invention.asp .jpg)
Largest
Diamonds in the World The Golden Jubilee, with the weight of 545.67
carats, is the largest faceted diamond in the world. Rough stone weighed
755 carats and was discovered in Premier mine, South Africa in 1985.
The Golden Jubilee was presented to the King of Thailand in 1997 for his
Golden Jubilee - the 50th anniversary of his coronation. Prior to this
event, the stone was simply known as the Unnamed Brown. Estimated value
of the Golden Jubilee is $4-$12 million.

The company IonTorrent presented a new genome sequencing technology.
It's fascinating how simple on one hand and how state-of-the-art on the
other hand it is. They completely abandoned the widely used spectroscopy
detection method and implemented a much more simple one - measuring
changes in pH. It's simple:
1. DNA polymerase attaches a new nucleotide 2. During the reaction a H+ ion releases 3. pH changes
Cool isn't it? Anyway, the best thing is it's parallel
sequencing capabilities. Each reaction chip has numerous micro-wells and
within each well there is a different DNA template. The sequencing
chips are produced just like any other semiconductor chips - wafers are
cut from silicon boule. This technology brings new opportunities to the
silicon wafer producers, which are known to be one of the most expensive
investments in the last few years.
The performance is simply astonishing. In a 2 hours run it
sequences 1 Gb or 1 billion bases. That means you theoretically sequence
the whole human genome in 3 runs. Wow!
And the best thing - if you like it, you can buy a bigger
desktop printer size machine with a catchy name: Personal Genome
Machine. Looks like genome sequencing is becoming going personal.
Headlight Beetles : Amazing glowing lights At night, once a year
during the rainy season, the myriad of termite mounds on the Cerrado
glow bright green. The light comes from the larvae of the headlight
beetles living in the complex mud structure. Their lights attract the
termites out on their mating flights. This beautiful light show
resembles stars falling to the earth. The beetle larvae feed on the
flying termites for protein which they need to metamorphose from larvae
to adults 
::: Transparent Colourful Ants ::: Father of three Mohamed Babu set
up the photographs after his wife, Shameem, showed him some ants had
turned white after drinking spilt milk. He gave the creatures the
brightly coloured sugar drops and watched as their transparent stomachs
matched the food they were eating. Some of the ants even wandered from
one colour to another, creating new combinations in their bodies.
Scientist Dr Babu, mixed the sugar drops with edible colours red, green,
blue and yellow and placed them in his garden to attract the insects.
By placing them on a paraffin base the drops kept their shape when
touched by the ants. The 53-year-old discovered the ants preferred
lighter colours such as yellow and green. He said: 'The idea for the
photograph came to me after my wife showed me some ants that turned
white sipping the spilled milk drops on our kitchen counter.' Dr Babu,
from Mysore, in South India said: 'As the ant's abdomen is
semi-transparent, the ants gain the colours as they sip the liquid. 'The
secret is the paraffin base, which prevents the drops collapsing when
the ants touch them. 
Amazing underwater painting:
Denis Lotarev, a Russian artist who
paints under water, holds an exhibition of his works made while diving
in the Red and Black Seas. A new exhibit in St. Petersburg has put an
unusual collection of work on display - the work of painter and diving
enthusiast Denis Lotarev who has found a unique way to combine his two
hobbies. Lotarev's paintings and drawings - sixty of which are on
display in St. Petersburg - were all created at the bottom of the sea,
some at depths of up to 30 feet.The artist's work is so rare that there
is not yet an official name for his genre of painting. Developing a
technique to paint underwater that allowed the pigments to adhere to the
canvas was not easy, according to Lotarev. "Three years ago I started
experimenting with materials at home, in the bathroom, in the water.
There were a lot of failures (at first). My first painting,
unfortunately, wouldn't hold to the canvas. The canvas got wet, the
paints didn't stick. I swam away in the end with a blank canvas, and was
disappointed," Lotarev said. His experiments gradually improved,
however, until he was able to begin painting underwater in both the Red
and Black Seas. Lotarev's collection of underwater paintings are on
display at St. Petersburg's "Art Space" gallery until January 24, 2012. 
Story behind Lamborghini :
This is an origin story when it comes to Lambo. So here it goes; Back
in the 1960s, Ferruccio Lamborghini’s tractor business was booming. Like
most wealthy people he decided that the best way to celebrate was to
buy himself a Ferarri! After he bought one to his dismay he was quite
disappointed with it. He thought that it could be better and more than
that, he thought he knew how to make it
better. So like a loyal Ferrari customer he went to the owner himself;
Enzo. He told him that he liked the Ferrari he had purchased but he had
some suggestions on how to make it even better. Enzo looked at him and
told him he didn’t need a tractor owner’s advice. Ferrari’s reply was
simply "You stick to tractors and let me build sports cars." Instead of
brushing that remark off or backhanding Enzo across the face, Ferruccio
decided on a different approach. He decided too build his own car with a
V12 engine. In 1964 Lamborghini manufactured the first versions of the
Lamborghini 350 GT, which exceeded the performance of a Ferrari
considerably and since then Lamborghini has evolved into a symbol of
wealth and luxury..4

Three
player chess is a family of chess variants specially designed to be
played by three people. There are many variations of three-handed chess.
They usually use some non-standard board, for example, hexagonal or
three-sided board connected in the middle in a special way. Three-player
chess (and other games) variants are the hardest to design fairly,
because the imbalance created when two gang up on one is usually too
great for the player to withstand. Some versions avoid this problem by
deciding victory such that the third player loses as well as the
checkmated player, leaving the player who delivers checkmate first to be
the victor. 
Gate Tower Building With a Highway Through it :
One of the most curious building in Japan is the Gate Tower Building in
Osaka, Japan. The 5th, 6th and 7th floors of this 16-story office
building is occupied by an express highway - passing right through the
building. On the building's floor information board on the ground floor,
the tenants for the three floors are listed as the Hanshin Expressway.
You can’t alight there tough as the elevator skips from the 4th floor to
straight to the 8th.

World's Most beautiful and Rare bubble shaped Plant !!!
its not a water bubble in a leaf but its the leaf which is bubble shaped!!!
The
baby lives inside a transparent membrane called the amniotic sac. The
sac is filled with a salty solution which bathes the body's cells. In a
complex process - the body recycles the fluid, swallowing some,
absorbing some, expelling some - while at the same time manusacturing
most of it. The embryo floats almost weightlessly in the fluid so it is
protected from shocks and does not have to fight gravity. 
DID
YOU KNOW? Last August the planet Neptune completed its first orbit
around the Sun since its discovery. Because Neptune is 30 times farther
away from the Sun than Earth, a year there is ridiculously long. One
year on Neptune (one revolution around the Sun) is equal to almost 165
Earth years! Neptune was first discovered in 1846, and in August 2011 an
entire Neptunian year will have passed since
then. This will also be during Neptune's Opposition, the best time to
see the planet from Earth. Technically, Neptune was first observed
before 1846. Galileo first found Neptune in 1612 and mistook it for a
star. We know now that he was actually looking at Neptune. In 1846,
Galle used a telescope to locate Neptune using calculations from other
astronomers that approximated where an 8th planet should be. Since then,
we have been able to observe Neptune with the Voyager 2 spacecraft.
(Here's an actual photograph from Voyager 2).
