He made the picture by pinpricking skin, which makes it darken."Basically, it just looks like people drawing on bananas by bruising the fruit or, in some cases, using ink. The flaming banana pictured here is one of our favorites, although we do like the Tonico Lemos Auad banana & the banana appeal.Source: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7Related Post: Stone Art Perspective Art At A SubwayPaintings On A Single HairAwesome Cake ArtCoffee Artca-pub-6006325771531878 ...

USB Air Conditioned Shirt 2007-07-17 10:05:00 USB Air Conditioned ShirtThis summer you can be cool with the former Sony technician Kouzi Ichigaya's air-conditioned shirt.

Extreme Bodybuilders 2007-07-16 09:46:00 Extreme BodybuildersAre these really genuine cases of greater myostatin deficiency or are these been photoshopped? Check it out for yourselves.Myostatin (formerly known as Growth differentiation factor 8) is a growth factor that limits muscle tissue growth, i.e. higher concentrations of myostatin in the body may cause the individual to have less developed muscles. The myostatin protein is produced primarily in skeletal muscle cells, circulates in the blood and acts on muscle tissue, apparently by slowing down the development of muscle stem cells. But the real question is, what happens when someone with an even greater myostatin deficiency begins lifting weights, training & eats a protein diet?SourceOther Posts: Big Wendy The Muscular Super Dog Pecker ExerciserThe Obelisk ChairsUnbelievable X-rays Creative Ads: Life Is Too Short For Wrong Jobsca-pub-6006325771531878 ...

Giant Mushroom 2007-07-16 09:24:00 Giant MushroomA huge mushroom was found in Mexico. The mushroom weighs 20 kilos.Mushroom(s) are the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting bodies of fungi typically produced above ground on soil or on their food sources.Many of the varieties of mushrooms that are sold in local supermarkets, have been commercially grown on mushroom farms. There are a number of species of mushrooms that are poisonous, and although some may resemble edible varieties, eating them could be fatal. Eating mushrooms gathered in the wild can be risky and a practice not to be undertaken by individuals not knowledgeable in mushroom identification. The problem is that separating edible from poisonous species depends upon the application of only a few easily recognizable traits - but there is no single trait by which all toxic mushrooms could be identified.Source: PravdaOther Posts:Perspective Art At A Subway3D Street PaintingsAmazing Pencil Carvingca-pub-6006325771531878 ...

Eyeball Tattooing 2007-07-16 09:07:00 Eyeball TattooingCorneal tattooing is not only possible, but it has been known and done now for over 2,000 years - it became almost commonplace in the late 19th century and into the 20th century to correct defects such as corneal scarring and leucomas. These days, it is done less often because contact lenses are very effective at covering these defects, and prosthetic technology is also more accessible. However, not everyone can wear contact lenses, and not everyone wants their eyeball popped out even if it is blind; hence cosmetic tattooing of the eye.This is something really extreme. "The procedures were done by Howie (LunaCobra.net), with photos by Lane Jensen (of Tattoo and Piercing Magazine). The first procedure was done on Pauly Unstoppable using a traditional hand-poked technique. The eye distorted significantly but it was difficult to get ink to hold. Probably about forty strikes in all were done but so far it seems like limited ink held.Because the we had trouble getting the i ...

Perspective Art 2007-07-13 09:10:00 Perspective ArtHere optical illusions are integrated in large architectural structures. It is really quite a nice idea to do this. The visitors who aren't standing in the proper angle won't have a clue about the concept. They will fail to understand meaning of the apparently irrational lines & curves on the structures.
