The 10 most dangerous selfies ever taken

Image
From the top of the world’s tallest statues to death-defying cliff faces, tourists are taking extreme measures to capture perfect vacation photos of themselves. While these cool-looking images are fodder for Facebook posts and — at times — can make headlines, they also can sometimes be deadly. This summer, a Polish couple fell off a cliff trying to capture a selfie in Portugal. This week another Polish woman fell to her death after trying to take a picture on top of a bridge in Spain. Even the US Forrest Service issued a warning telling the public that taking selfies with bears isn’t such a good idea. Here’s a look at some of the most dangerous selfies we’ve found. And a word of caution to travelers: Don’t do this at home. 1. Statue selfie on top of Christ the Redeemer — Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Lee Thompson, founder of the British adventure travel company The Flash Pack, convinced the Brazilian tourist board to let him climb the world-recognized landmark. It took Thompson, who wa...

The 5 Most Dangerous Guns in America

Image
Contrary to what those who defend the right to own high-powered assault rifles believe, not all guns are created equal. Due to a combination of availability, portability and criminal usage the following five types of guns are the country's most dangerous. Using firearm trace data from the ATF, as well as FBI homicide records, we determined the types of guns most often recovered from crime scenes and/or used in murders. The numbers are stark: According to the FBI's 2012 Crime in the US data, nearly 70 percent of homicides for which the FBI received weapons data involved the use of a firearm and handguns alone accounted for about 72 percent of firearms used in murders and non-negligent manslaughter. While the FBI does not elaborate on the type of handguns used in these incidents, the ATF's analysis of weapons confiscated from crime scenes provides a more specific look at the weapons criminals prefer, which we've shared with you here.

The 10 Most Dangerous Motorcycle Gangs in America

Image
Outlaw or "one-percent" motorcycle gangs have been a scourge to the federal government since the 1960s. To this day, there are formidable motorcycle clubs (MCs) on both coasts, and one-percenters run drugs across the Canadian and Mexican border. Though Americans have long mythologized biker culture with the help of books like Hunter S. Thompson's Hell's Angelsand television shows like Sons of Anarchy, outlaw motorcycle clubs continue to play a very real roll in American organized crime. In the past few years, we've seen major stings that yielded charges of drug trafficking, racketeering, and contract killing for motorcycle gang members. Former ATF agent Jay Dobyns' book about infiltrating the Hells Angels, No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels was published in 2009, and Dobyns was the target of harassment from clubs as recently as 2008. Outlaw motorcycle gangs are alive and well in the U.S., and the federal gov...

Top 10 most Difficult Sports

Image
The world of sports has a huge variety, and each sport is special in its own way. They have their own thrill, and require some definite skills sets which are different in case of other sports. While the players are on the field, they are at such ease with their gameplay that we hardly ever understand the level of difficulty. In every sport, there are more difficulties that what meets the eyes. Be it in the process of selection or the performance, it is mandatory for players to present skills and capabilities of the mind and the body. In some sports, key skills required are athleticism, speed and agility, while some sports, what matters is keeping the mind in the game. Some sports require players to be slow, steady and patient. In many sports, cardiovascular measures of the athletes play a vital role, while in others, knowing the complex rules of the game and using the rules in one’s favour is what is important. Be it the physical demands or mental strength, the overall durabil...

Top Ten Scary Movies to Watch on Halloween

Image
What's better to do on Halloween, other than to binge out on candy and pumpkin-flavored beer, than to binge watch every horror movie you've ever heard of (and some you haven't). You could phone up your obscure Japanese film buff friend for some recommendations on films involving businessmen having their eyeballs ripped out by innocent-seeming nubiles. Or you could tune in to virtually any basic cable channel and watch a back-to-back marathon of horror classics. If you go for the latter, here are a few movies you must catch. 10 - Psycho Alfred Hitchcock was a master of the psychological thriller, and many a filmmaker, horror or otherwise, owes a lot of dues to Hitchcock's visionary lens-work. Psycho is in a league of its own, and all its uses of mood, style, and pacing have lost no traction or poignancy in time. Also, few films can boil their terror down to simple mundane associations as Psycho does to the word 'shower.' 9 - Fright Night. This vam...

10 Creepy Plants And Fungi That Look Like Human Body Parts

Image
To prepare for Halloween, let’s look at fauna that could easily find a place in the local novelty shop as dismembered people parts. These are not the odd potato or pumpkin the grew into the shape of a butt. These plants and fungi come out looking like human bits every single time. 10- Bleeding Tooth Fungus The hood of Hydnellum pecki comes in various shapes, and when it oozes a red, sticky substance, it could easily be mistaken for a bloody tooth dropped on the ground. The substance is sap, forced out of cap’s pores during the night by excess moisture that builds up in the roots. This only happens when the fungus is young. Another name for Hydenellum pecki is “strawberries and cream,” but don’t eat it. While it is not poisonous, the peppery, bitter taste makes it inedible. The fungus also absorbs from the environment the heavy element cesium-137, a radioactive isotope that could be toxic at sufficient levels. Found throughout American and Eurasia, bleeding tooth fungi usually ...
