phantom mask How to Stay Awake When You Absolutely Must

 In anyone’s life there do happen such sleepless nights or busy days after which comes a very difficult time (usually close to some deadline) during which you have to keep staying awake. Here comes the time to swindle both your body and your mind.
 I offer you a list of relatively effective ways to keep yourself awake. All of them I tested on myself and survived! So, here you go:


Caffeine in the Coffee
 Good chose if you have to stake awake for about an hour. Then are likely to appear withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, fatigue and sleepiness reaches a greater extent. Coffee affects everyone differently and people who regularly consume it affects less than the others. Moreover about 25% of people have no stimulant effect from coffee at all.
 This is not working for me as sometimes it seems I drink coffee instead of water. Yea, I do know what doctor said!

phantom mask The Most Amazing Coincidences

 James Dean’s car curse
In September 1955, James Dean was killed in a horrific car accident whilst he was driving his Porsche sports car. After the crash the car was seen as very unlucky.
1) When the car was towed away from accident scene and taken to a garage, the engine slipped out and fell onto a mechanic, shattering both of his legs.
2) Eventually the engine was bought by a doctor, who put it into his racing car and was killed shortly afterwards, during a race. Another racing driver, in the same race, was killed in his car, which had James Dean’s driveshaft fitted to it.
3) When James Dean’s Porsche was later repaired, the garage it was in was destroyed by fire.
4) Later the car was displayed in Sacramento, but it fell off it’s mount and broke a teenager’s hip.
5) In Oregon, the trailer that the car was mounted on slipped from it’s towbar and smashed through the front of a shop.
6) Finally, in 1959, the car mysteriously broke into 11 pieces while it was sitting on steel supports.

phantom mask Famous Things Invented by Accident

We tend to hold inventors in high esteem, but often their discoveries were the result of an accident or twist of fate. This is true of many everyday items, including the following surprise inventions.

 Play-Doh

One smell most people remember from childhood is the odor of Play-Doh, the brightly-colored, nontoxic modeling clay. Play-Doh was accidentally invented in 1955 by Joseph and Noah McVicker while trying to make a wallpaper cleaner. It was marketed a year later by toy manufacturer Rainbow Crafts. More than 700 million pounds of Play-Doh have sold since then, but the recipe remains a secret.

 Fireworks

Fireworks originated in China some 2,000 years ago, and legend has it that they were accidentally invented by a cook who mixed together charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter—all items commonly found in kitchens in those days. The mixture burned and when compressed in a bamboo tube, it exploded. There’s no record of whether it was the cook’s last day on the job.

phantom mask 10 Ways to Cure Impotence

You can spend your whole life trying new and different ways to combat erectile dysfunction.  It seems like someone dreams up a novel and completely untested solution every afternoon.  Today, I learned that a glass of pomegranate juice could fix a guy up, lickety-split.  Yesterday, I read that guys in Peru drank frog juice to get things going.  It made me wonder what would happen if you slammed back a pomegranate-frog smoothie every morning. 

Look, the fact of the matter is that most of the recommendations people have for curing ED really don’t do much good.  Someone out there may have got out of bed the day after watching Lawrence of Arabia with his first erection in months.  That doesn’t mean that a Peter O’Toole flick is going to help you. 

In the spirit of giving guys with ED advice that may or may not really do a damn bit of good for them, we bring you the following list of tips.  Some of them are the straight up gospel truth about dealing with erectile dysfunction in a smart way.  Some of them aren’t.  We’ve tried to make it clear which ones are which.

phantom mask The most expensive photos


Arthur Sasse, $74.324
On Einstein’s 72nd birthday in 1951, photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead.

On June 19, 2009, the photograph was sold at auction for $74,324, a record for an Einstein picture.

phantom mask The 25 Most Bizarre Travel Insurance Claims Ever

What links a tourist who lost 84 kilograms of Bombay mix on holiday with another who had his camera stolen by a monkey? Both are among the more unusual claims received by travel insurance companies. Times Money has trawled through the files of some of the UK’s biggest insurers to bring you the 25 most bizarre travel insurance claims ever. So, here’s the list:

1. One thing you don’t expect when you go on holiday is to be harassed by a monkey. One British traveller in Gibraltar, however, was so besieged by the attentions of an over-friendly primate that he asked his insurer to refund the cost of his trip. The insurer refused but did pay out for his camera, which the monkey had run off with one evening.

2. Monkeys also blighted the romantic getaway of a couple in Malaysia, who foolishly left the window to their chalet open during the day. They returned to find their underwear, clothing and belongings strewn across the resort and neighbouring rainforest. Luckily for the clothes-less couple, their insurer paid the claim.

3. One unlucky pensioner managed to lose his false teeth after throwing up over the side of a cruise ship on the choppy seas of the Bay of Biscay. Thankfully for the squeamish septuagenarian, his misplaced dentures were covered in his travel insurance policy under lost baggage, so his claim was paid.
