Want to be the fattest in the world
MOUNTAINOUS mum Susanne Eman scoffs more than 20,000 calories a day in a bid to become the fattest woman of all time.
She weighs 52st - and is aiming to hit 115st. The single mother of two has already passed the previous living record holder - 50st Donna Simpson, 43, of New Jersey, US. Amazingly, her shape is a TURN-ON for some men and she models for super-size websites. Susanne, 32, said: "The bigger I get, the better I feel. I feel confident and sexy. "Two years ago I hit 35st and noticed I had actually started attracting more men. It made me feel good. My goal is to be 57st by the end of the year. I should be 115st by age 41 or 42. "Why not see how fat I can get? I want to break the stigma that being fat is a bad thing." Susanne, from Casa Grande, Arizona, US, spends EIGHT HOURS filling six trolleys with food during her monthly supermarket shop.
She eats 12 filled tacos followed by eight scoops of ice cream with brownies for dinner alone. Her sons Gabriel, 16, and Brendin, 12, have normal diets. And Susanne insists that she feels well and takes care of her health.She said: "I go for a waddle and do stretches and exercises every day. My muscles need to hold my weight, so I have to stay strong. "I take my blood pressure once a week, and I check signs like blood sugar levels.
"If any readings go above a certain level, I'll contact my doctor. But I haven't gone near the danger zones yet. I'd love to find out if it's possible to reach a ton." Her doctor Patrick Flite warned: "She's playing Russian roulette with her life. But she's capable of making her own decisions and I don't see any psychiatric problems or anything else wrong." At 115st, Susanne would beat Carol Yager, of Flint, Michigan, believed to have peaked at 114st. She died in 1994 aged 34. The Sun revealed in 2009 that Paul Mason, 48, of Ipswich, was the world's fattest person after hitting 70st.

Boot House Or ING Headquarters In Amsterdam
Today we'll show you the Amsterdam headquarters of ING or a "boot-house" how it's usually called due to its shape. It is one of the most expensive buildings in the Netherlands? it was built in 2001 under the project of Meyer en Van Schooten studio. The building of the bank was designed in a way that none of its walls forms a straight angle with a neighbouring one. The architects rejected the idea of a box shape peculiar to most office buildings. Critics compare it with a giant sand castle and its fans correlate it with the Inca architecture. The main motif of its decoration - flowing water. Sounds of waterfalls and fountains make a calming effect. In the yard there are many gardens.
Pennsylvania White Bigfoot Enhanced
A little over a year ago, residents of a small town in PA caught this disturbing footage of a white Bigfoot. Although the original footage is grainy and dark, this enhanced version shows even more detail in not just the anatomy, but the locomotion of the creature or person. User cdx4 said this was enhanced using Sony Vegas Platinum 10.0 software.
Residents of this small PA town are concerned of recent sightings and strange noises being heard at night of what appears to be some sort of Bigfoot human looking type creature. The creature though, is white in color. A homeowner captured this footage after they heard a disturbance in the back yard of their wooded property. This homeowner and others in this town had previously heard strange noises and disturbances for the last two weeks or so prior to this being captured on film. The town was confirmed as Carbondale PA.

A very sad love story
One night a guy and girl were driving home from the movies. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night. The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed and that it was time to move on.A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket and passed her a folded note. At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He swerved right into the drivers seat, killing the boy. Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she pulled it out and read it." Without your love, I would die."
A Parrot Joke
Mrs. Broomfield's dishwasher quit working, so she called a repairman. He couldn't accommodate her with an evening appointment, and since she had to go to work the next day, she told him: "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. By the way, don't worry about my Rottweiler. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do not under any circumstances talk to my parrot!"
When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Broomfield's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Rottweiler he had ever seen. But, just like she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business.
However, the whole time he was there, the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant squawking and talking. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled: "Shut up, you stupid bird!"
To which the parrot replied: "Get him, Brutus!

Doreen Tackles Four Lads
Doreen, aged 79, finished all the shopping on her weekly list at Walmart supermarket. She walked determinedly towards her car which she had left in the car park. There she saw four youths about to drive away in her car. Doreen became agitated and dropping her shopping to the ground, she drew a handgun from her bag and screamed as loud as her lungs would allow at the four miscreants, "I have a gun and I know how to use it. Get out of the car you horrible little men."
The four lads didn't wait around for a second invitation but got out and ran helter-skelter as far away as they could, whereupon Doreen, somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and get into the driver's seat. As hard as Doreen tried she could not get her key into the ignition. Then it began to dawn on her why.
She came across her own car a few moments later in another row near by. Putting her bags now, into her own car, she drove hesitantly to the nearest Police Station. As Patricia was recounting the tale to the Duty Sergeant she wondered why he kept giggling and smiling. Eventually he pointed to the end of the counter where dear old dizzy Doreen saw four young lads, faces extremely pale, who were describing how a little old lady, some 5 foot tall, wearing glasses and with grey hair had stolen their car by waving a gun at them.
Doreen was not charged with anything.
Lesson: Remember, your perceptions are just that YOURS. Therefore, try to notice everything about your circumstances. If you look closely enough, there may be clues or signs that things aren't as bad as they appear.

A Confession
A priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician, who was also a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and give a little leaving speech at the dinner. He was delayed so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.
"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when stopped by the police, had almost murdered the officer. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his place of business, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs. I was appalled. But as the days went on I knew that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and give his speech.
"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived,' said the politician. 'In fact, I had the honour of being the first one to go to him in confession."
Lesson: Your actions can come back to haunt you in unexpected ways. Therefore, it's best to be true to yourself and always do the right thing.
Reginald's New Diet
Reginald was terribly overweight, so his doctor placed him on a strict diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds," his doctor assured him.
When Reginald returned he shocked his doctor by having lost almost twenty pounds. "Why, that's amazing," the doctor said, greatly impressed. "You certainly must have followed my instructions."
Reginald nodded, "I'll tell you what though, I thought I was going to drop dead on the third day."
"Why, from hunger?" asked his doctor.
"No, from all that skipping.
Lesson: A different perspective can yield better results. Therefore, learn to be open to all possibilities. Do not short-change potential results with narrow, limited thinking.
10 Most Spectacular Roads in the World
1. Stelvio Pass – Italy
48 hairpin turns up to a 2757m (9045ft) pass in the Italian Alps, and Top Gear’s pick for “greatest driving road in the world.”
2. Cabot Trail – Canada
Wrapping around northern Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island, the Cabot Trail is mountainous and windy with near-constant ocean views.
3. I-70 at Glenwood Canyon – Colorado
The Colorado River, of Grand Canyon fame, carved this canyon billions of years ago. The U.S. government built the 12-mile, $490 million interstate route through it, which was only completed in 1992.
4. Millau Bridge – France
Southern France’s Millau Bridge is the tallest in the world — taller, actually, than the Eiffel Tower.
5. Karakoram Highway – Pakistan
The “highest paved international road in the world” connects Pakistan with Xinjiang, China. It is currently closed at the Hunza Valley due to a massive landslide.
6. Mountain road, Snowdonia – Wales
Mountainous northern Wales is traversed by many of these ancient, narrow, stone-walled roads. I’ve experienced the challenge of navigating them at night. With oncoming traffic.
7. Chapman’s Peak Drive – South Africa
Another great coastal road, this one just 15 miles south of Cape Town.
8. Mountain road – Central Peru
Most mountain pass roads in Peru qualify as “spectacular.” This one runs north from the Sacred Valley town of Ollantaytambo and is part of the car route to Machu Picchu.
9. Seven Mile Bridge – Florida keys
U.S. Highway 1 runs for miles over the water, connecting the Florida Keys to the mainland. It includes this long span of bridge.
10. Gotthard Pass – Switzerland
Traveling north from Italy into Switzerland, you’ll come to Gotthard Pass, which you can cross on either the new, straightforward road, or the old roller coaster above.
Trains in Bangladesh
People in Bangladesh can’t afford a train ticket and have to travel on the train roofs risking their lives.
