shredded dog ear
The springer spaniel needed emergency surgery after peering into a paper shredder and setting it off. The machine’s metal jaws bit into the 11-month-old puppy’s ear and dragged it in, shredding it like a sheet of paper. Rascal’s horrified owner Jackie Wells managed to switch off the power supply, but not before more than an inch of the dog’s right ear had been chewed up.”

The New Rubik’s Cube
joke
John McCain and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barbershop .
As they sat there, each being worked on by a differentbarber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were extremely afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had McCain in his chair reached for the after shave lotion.
McCain was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks; mywife Cindy will smell that and think I've been in awhorehouse.
The second barber turned to Obama and said, 'How about you?'Obama replied, 'Go ahead;Michelle doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.'

great words
Opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.
The less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
No one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
Love, not time, heals all wounds.
Ignore the facts does not change the facts.
U should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
U can always pray for someone when u don't have the strength to help him in some other way.
U should never say no to a gift from a child.
Being kind is more important than being right.

Riley the amputee horse saved from slaughter after a vet fits her with a false leg
A crippled horse has been given a false leg in a pioneering operation to stop her being put down after suffering an awful injury.Thanks to the artificial leg, she is able to trot around her paddock and graze normally with her pony friends.
And the vet who treated her believes the surgery will be able to prevent many more otherwise healthy animals being destroyed because of broken or infected limbs.
Staff at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Wyoming feared the worst for Riley when she was brought in four years ago with what was describes as ‘an awful’ hind leg injury.

Walking house !!!!! plsss
Designers from N55 in Copenhagen, Denmark come up with this idea that I think is quite stupid. The idea is called the Walking House, and they say it provides a solution to the problem of rising water levels as the house can simply walk away from floods. Now when I’ve saw that the six legs attached to the frame of this house enable it to move at a maximum speed of 60 meters per hour, I was convinced that this is a really stupid idea, and a caravan is 100 times better than the Walking House. What do you think ?Here are a few words about this project from the designers : “WALKING HOUSE is a modular dwelling system that enables persons to live a peaceful nomadic life, moving slowly through the landscape or cityscape with minimal impact on the environment. It collects energy from its surroundings using solar cells and small windmills. There is a system for collecting rain water and a system for solar heated hot water. A small greenhouse unit can be added to the basic living module, to provide a substantial part of the food needed by the Inhabitants. A composting toilet system allows sewage produced by the inhabitants to be disposed of. A small wood burning stove could be added to provide CO2 neutral heating. WALKING HOUSE forms various sizes of communities or WALKING VILLAGES when more units are added together. WALKING HOUSE is not dependent on existing infrastructure like roads, but moves on all sorts of terrain.”
Smilecup
The Smilecup from Studio Psyho will certainly bring a smile to your beverage. It basically comes in two parts: the cup and the plate. The plate looks like an ordinary saucer, but imprinted on the plate are cartoony, emoticon-type eyes. The cup, on the other hand, is shaped like a wide smiling mouth.

طفل يبلغ من العمر سنتين يقتل أباه بمسدس حربي
كان والد الطفل محمد طباع ( 33 ) عاماً ً انتهى لتوه من إطلاق النار من مسدسه في فرح تقيمه عائلة البرادعي في مزرعتها في خان العسل غرب حلب
حيث أخذ الطفل حمزة المسدس بعد أن وضعه والده على الطاولة , وقام بوضعه في خاصرة والده وأطلق النار ، فاخترق العيار الناري قلبه ،و أرداه قتيلاً
وقال شاهد عيان : فوجئنا بالطفل يطلق النار على والده لحظة انشغالنا بدخول العريس إلى العرس
وتابع " فقمنا بإسعافه إلى مشفى الرازي بحلب ، حيث تبين أن الرصاصة اخترقت قلبه ، وفارق الحياة
وعن سبب الوفاة جاء في تقرير الطبيب الشرعي أن الوفاة ناجمة عن " النزف البطيني والصدري الصاعق جراء اختراق الطلقة لجسده وقد تم استخراج المقذوف في مشفى الرازي
وكان أحد الحاضرين للعرس يقوم بتصوير الحفلة من جهازه الخليوي عندما وقعت الحادثة ، حيث سجل الحادثة لحظة إطلاق النار من قبل الطفل على والده ثم سقوط الاثنين على الأرض الأول من ارتداد المسدس والثاني مضرجاً بدمائه

Conserve water with dual flush toilet
Dual flush toilet by Caroma proves that great innovations are often also the most simplest and the most obvious solutions to problems. The Dual Flush toilet uses basin water to flush toilets. By providing a sink and faucet atop the water-storage tank, Caroma gives us great water saving and plumbing solution. Why not save water by running your sink into your toilet? Not only this, the dual flush toilet takes that idea to the next level by actually putting a ink in the tank of the toilet. This means, you can brush your teeth while you pee or wash your hands before flushing.
