Unbelievably Painful-Looking Body Piercings

# 1 I Can't Understand You

I didn't even know you could pierce that. By the way, that little strip of skin is called the frenulum linguae and it's extra hard to pronounce when you put a metal spike through it.

# 2 Busy

Which one of these painful-looking piercings do you think hurt the most? My bet is on all of them -- every single one.

# 3 So Many...

When we were kids we used to count bottles of beer on the wall when we were bored. If counting piercings is the new version of that we're going to go find something to do.

# 4 Ribbons

What if one of them snags? What if one of them snags?!

# 5 Tongue

Did you know that the tongue consists of eight muscles that are all very strong for their size? Did you also know that the tongue feels pain? Horrible lisping pain.

# 6 Smelly

These piercings aren't what look terribly painful. It's that cold, dry, burning sinus sensation this guy's got to feel with every breath.

# 7 Headache

We don't know exactly how you get those piercings in but we bet it involves a general anesthetic.

# 8 Eye, Eye, Eye

If a particle of dust in your eye can make you blink and weep like a nutter what must an eyelid piercing feel like...every time you blink?

# 9 Uvul-ugh

It's hard to look at this without activating your gag reflex. We bet that piercer has seen more than one plate of cookies tossed.

# 10 Be Still

If this person makes one false move everyone watching is going to pass out.

# 11 Don't Touch Me

Did you know that your fingertips are some of the most sensitive nerve-dense parts of your body?

# 12 Pedal On

Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is a bicycle pierced through that guy's face. I don't know whether to start with "how" or "why".

# 13 Touche Internet, Touche

Before seeing this row of painful piercings we didn't even know that "lime tree trapped in a man's body" was a thing. And apparently this is the surgery you get for it.

# 14 Wolverine

It takes a special someone to conceive of a piercing that's just as painful for themselves as it must be for their friends.

# 15 Fore-Real?

These forehead piercings look like they were installed with a nail gun. How do you sleep in those things?

Audi A9 Concept Car Repairs Itself, Changes Body Color.

This is Audi A9 concept from the reputed Spanish designer Daniel Garcia who has Ducati 6098 R concept and may other to his credit. The awesome A9 concept will be lighter than Audi’s current flagship model, A8. Inspiration for the styling of A9 comes from the stunning architectural style of Santiago Calatrava’s buildings in “La Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias in Valencia.


Daniel’s A9 concept is a low emission hybrid vehicle for the future. A9 concept features a single-piece windscreen and its roof is formed from nanotechnology material (which is yet to be discovered) that has a unique automatic-system that repairs damage and can also be adjusted for colors and opacity.


Also, the vehicle flaunts the unique ‘electronic painting’ system that allows the owner to change the color with the touch of a button. The concept is proposed to be powered by an advanced hybrid setup which uses an internal combustion engine working in conjunction with four in-wheel electric motors.

9 Extremely Weird Beauty Gadgets

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yet somehow, most of us are chasing the same ideals. This makes it very easy for those who want to make a quick buck off our own insecurities, inventing some of the weirdest looking beauty gadgets you couldn't even have imagined existed.

1. Anti-Wrinkle Glasses
Wearing the Mejikara for 5 minutes every day will improve the appearance of your face. On the inside of the glasses there are specially-designed ridges which massage and help your skin.

2. Beau Bust Roller
One of the weirdest inventions you’ll ever come across, this one is an electronic breast stimulator which is designed to be rolled across the boobs. Somehow, it’s supposed to make your boobs look bigger, designed to react with a gel used across the area.

3. Body Hair Thinner
The Mudage Jolie Body Hair Thinner is for men who don’t want to scare girls away with their chest rug, but are reluctant to dispense with their body hair altogether. This way, you don’t get smooth all over while making your lovelife managable to the women who like less hair on your body.

4. Dryer For Nails
After “painting” your nails, simply put the hand below these tiny tubes, and pump the air with your other hand.

5. Face Changing Jewelry
This jewelry goes across your face and lifts or pulls your skin into bizarre positions. Created by Burcu Buyukunal, these pieces of jewelry distort your face, not necessarily making it more beautiful. Think of it as a cheaper way to get a face lift.

6. Face Slimmer
Yes, it looks like a you know what. The face slimmer fits around the lips, forcing them open. The wearer is to recite each vowel sound out loud twice a day, three times a minute. The instructions suggest doing the exercises while bathing. Why? Who knows…

7. Makeup Mirror Attachment
Not only does it let you apply makeup or do anything else you do with a small mirror, but it also becomes a kickstand to hold your phone up for viewing videos or photos or taking self-portraits.

8. Neck Stretcher
Apparently, if your chin touches your collarbone, it means you’re not a beautiful human being. So someone invented the neck stretcher, so you can put the device around your neck, like a collar, pump in a little air and the air pressure gently stretches the back of the neck and provides a refreshing sensation.

9. Nose Straightener
The nose straighter costs around $50 and you won’t be surprised to learn it’s a Japanese invention, and it’s supposed to help balance and push up the bones and contours of your nose, so it has an overall sharper, straighter shape, less round and more graceful.

Olympus Mons - Largest Volcano In Solar System !!!

The largest known volcano in our solar system OLYMPUS MONS on the planet Mars. At a height of almost 22 km it is roughly three times as tall as Mount Everest and is the also tallest known mountain in the Solar System.. Olympus Mons had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica.With a diameter of more than 500 km and a summit that towers 25 km over the surrounding plains, its volume is over 100 times that of Mauna Loa in Hawaii.

Awesome View Of Olympus Mons !!!

Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars' Amazonian Period.  Olympus Mons is the result of many thousands of highly fluid, basaltic lava flows that poured from volcanic vents over a long period of time.

The extraordinary size of Olympus Mons is likely because Mars lacks mobile tectonic plates. Unlike on Earth, the crust of Mars remains fixed over a stationary hotspot, and a volcano can continue to discharge lava until it reaches an enormous height.

 Compared to other areas on Mars, there are very few craters on its slopes, indicating that it is geologically very young. Many of the volcanoes on Mars show significant cratering, indicating that they ceased activity a billion years or more ago. By contrast, Olympus Mons is presumed to be less than 100 million years old.

Olympus Mons

Olympus Mons is a shield volcano. Rather than violently spewing molten material, shield volcanoes are created by lava slowly flowing down their sides. As a result, the mountain has a low, squat appearance, with an average slope of only 5 percent.


Why would such a huge volcano form on Mars but not on Earth?

Scientists think that the lower surface gravity of the red planet, combined with higher eruption rates, allowed for the lava on Mars to pile up higher.
The presence and absence of tectonic plates could also play an important role in the different kinds of volcanoes. The hot spots of lava under the crust remain in the same location on both planets. On Earth, however, the movement of the crust prevents the steady buildup of lava. The Hawaiian Islands, for instance, formed as a plate drifted over a hot spot. Each eruption created a small island in a different spot.
