List of the strangest things in the whole world…
I would like to focus on a various, strange things on the Earth that you could do or be a part, meet or be keen on, read or watch. Let me start form the very beginning.
As I discovered everyone on the Earth for entire whole life make a lists, different lists of things that they like or hate, love or admire, etc. Try to think about it. If you ate something bad or heard something irritating, you would never try to do it again - for sure. Simultaneously you put that thing on the bottom of that list and at the same time create a kind of an association in your brain: sort of foot --- never try it again, kind of music ---- crap, don’t buy it.
After few years of living your brain is covered by the thousands of associations creating parallel orientated networks. Somebody can say: “that’s the way of learning…” That’s true.
But how much you can force your brain? How many association you can create?
When our brain is overloaded we try to put out thoughts somewhere else. Just to relieve our minds. So we are creating the lists and put them somewhere outside where other people can join and update them by their own observations.
Let’s imagine the situation: you want to buy new TV. But you don’t have any experience in that. You don’t have any reflections, any associations regarding that.
So you decide to borrow somebody else’s list just to learn few things more. How we are able to do that? The answer is simple… Yesterday, you would have certainly gone to the shop and ask the worker about “top ten” of TVs. Today, you would type the phrase in the Internet Explorer and just wait for the results. Thousands of score cards are available on the one click.
That’s the reason of creating “The most stupid things…”, “The most ugly things…”.
I am going to present and describe you some of them. Some of them just worth to see it.
First things first.
At the beginning I would like to present you results of significant question we can ask ourselves in entire life. What is the most important thing in our life?
Many would consider money and financial status as a most important factor. Just ask lottery winners. The others would admire good health condition. Because if you have a health problems (sleekness or disability), you wouldn’t appreciate so much the material things.
On the other hand is love, happiness and family relationship. When you have money and your health is right, all the things are nothing if you cannot share them with other people staying close to you.
Next is appropriate, satisfactory work. When you have a good job it’s easier to earn bigger money, easier to keep your family safer. You happiness and health condition are increasing rapidly.
But the most rated and important is: knowledge and wisdom. Without them we mean nothing.

At the second stage I would like to show you how bad it can be if you made wrong choice.
The worst jobs ever…
Do you ever think about your job that is hopeless? Yes… sometimes… many times…

When you focus on your career you can easily notice that isn’t so bad. It always could be worse.
There is a special trained group of people dedicated to work at the heights levels. Even every day they have to climb a little bit just to fix something…
Or just to wash few windows…
There was also a couple of TV series covering that topic.
“The worst jobs in History” - hosted by Tony Robinson. Presenter is trying by his hand every job from history that can call the worst ever.
and “Dirty Jobs” program on the Discovery Channel created by Mike Rowe who shows us how to perform difficult, dirty, ugly and discussing duties. Jobs that we can spot now…
THE BEST
THE MUCHO MISTAKES
Now time to go to the stringiest things in the world.
How many times do you think about choosing good restaurant for the lunch or dinner?
Any preferences?
If you consider eating on a toilet I would recommend to you:
source of both pictures:
A toilet restaurant – it has been around for few years. Actually is quite popular in Asian countries. Many people really enjoy eating in a toilet - like environment, with smell of poo. That kind of restaurants are slowly but steadily becoming an icon for Taiwan.
Maybe instead of toilet you would prefer a wheelchair in a hospital:
This is Singapore’s first molecular gastronomy restaurant, described as a hospital-themed dining experience.
Shell I take my Sleeping Beauty and pajama? Yes, you can…

After we ate we can drink…
A short definition:
“Coffee Luak - Kopi luwak (Malay pronunciation: [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), or civet coffee, is the world's most expensive and low-production coffee. It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civets, then passed through its digestive tract. A civet eats the berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach, proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. Passing through a civet's intestines the beans are then defecated, keeping their shape. After gathering, thorough washing, sun drying, light roasting and brewing, these beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness, widely noted as the most expensive coffee in the world.” // en.wikipedia.org
During the next coffee try to think a little bit where is it come from, where is that place?!
After we finished our meal. Time to go to the “rest-room”, “00” room… or just simply - “toilet”.

Giant mouth and invisible mouth. Sometimes life isn't so easy.
When we are comfortable. Fed and not thirsty. We can do some exercises.
Just to keep our form on the right level and our health at good condition. So we would suggest "Keep on flying baby"
And after very busy day we can get some rest reading interesting facts about Coca-Cola Co.
1. Seventy-five percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated (likely applies to half world population).
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water is the number 1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50%less likely to develop bladder cancer.
9. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
10. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china
11. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
12. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion
13. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
14. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
15. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
16. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
17. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
18. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
19. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

What I would like to present you is how strange the world could be. But fortunately, now, we (our generation) are the creators, so let’s make the life not so complicated…
I wouldn’t ask you any questions right now. Just sit for a while and think: “Do we have to making things more difficult?”
