Duck Face Victims

ssimrok — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 19:01:05 +0000

A young person puckering their lips as they stare intensely into a camera has become a dreaded Internet epidemic. If you see anyone making such a face with the intention of posting it online, do anything you can to stop them before it’s too late. Most victims don’t know how terrible they look.

This disease makes otherwise attractive women look mentally ill.

This is a sub-class of the illness know as “Ziggy Star-Duck Face”.

Strangely, a lot of the victims look eerily similar.

After years of being afflicted, victims will actually start to take the form of a duck.

Often times, Duck Face is paired with strange hand gestures.

It’s not only blondes who are affected by this plague.

Sometimes, the victims gender become hard to determine.

It seems to become involuntary in some victims, hence the surprised look on this unfortunate soul.

Another hand gesture. Researchers now believe this may be a cry for help.

Though predominately found in females, males have been found to be stricken as well.

This unfortunate victim looks pained by her affliction.

This is an advanced case of the disease; she will probably never be able to take a normal picture again.

Scientists are working tirelessly to find the link between Duck Face and hideous eye makeup.

In prolonged cases, the mouth seems to want to engulf the rest of the face in one big, terrifying pout.

Previously though to be a disease that only afflicted caucasians, signs of the illness affecting other races prove that no one is safe.

Prehaps most unsettling is our poor children are starting to show symptoms of this ravaging illness.

Symptoms of Duck Face include lips thrust forward in an imitation of water fowl, usually accented with heavy eyeliner, glowing orange skin, and occasionally strange Emo hair-dos. Alcohol tends to worsen these symptoms. If you see the warning signs of the dreaded Duck Face happening to a friend or loved one, slap the shit out of them. You too, can help prevent this horrible disease from spreading. Educate yourself so that you and your friends won’t fall victim.

Man’s Best Friend comes in all shapes and sizes. But without a doubt the coolest dogs are the giants, the ones so big you have no choice but to turn your head and stare when you see one passing on the street. I’ve always wanted a gigantic dog. But I don’t have room and money for a large dog. Could you imagine having some of these dogs as your pet? I mean, I’ve seen big dogs before but not as huge as these ones. What do you feed these things? There’s no way a regular sized dog bowl is enough. More importantly, with what do you play fetch with? You know your dog is huge when small trees are in danger of becoming its next chew toy.

Algae Invasion in China

ssimrok — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:14:25 +0000

More than 10,000 people have been mobilized in the Chinese city of Qingdao to clean up green algae, which have invaded the Olympic sailing venue. Coastal areas and lakes in China see frequent algae blooms, often caused by the discharge of nitrogen-rich chemical pollutants, sewage and fertilizers in the water. But Wang Shulian, of Qingdao’s Oceanic and Fishery Department, put the presence of the algae down to the temperature of the water and its salinity. Chinese authorities blame global warming for their algae problems, especially when they were discovered to have poored all their sewage into that same area – scientists diagnosed this as the real cause for algae bloom… This thing happen in 2008. Check out how it looked like. Enjoy.

The Terracotta Army or the “Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses”, is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BC and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits. Other terracotta non-military figures were also found in other pits and they include officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians. Check out this tomb of the First Emperor of China. Enjoy.
