Looks like the world biggest sedan car was build long ago in Soviet Russia. It originated from Russian truck manufacturer and had a 38.8 litres engine (38800 cc). It weights 28 tons and can tow up to 85 tons load. You might ask how much is fuel consumption? We've got the answer, it had probably world worst record

of 0.5 mpg (or 120 litres for 100 km). What else was cool with this car is that it had two steering wheels from each side (don't know why) and there were produced only three of them, and none of them is intact nowadays. Also there is not much photos of it, but still we have a couple.

That was the state of a Sony Alpha A200 when the author of these photos got it. It was... Let's say someone trod it down several times. The rear view is the same - broken LCD leaked,

This building of ice blocks appears in Baikalsk for the third time. Baikalsk is a small town not far from Irkutsk on the southern bank of the Baikal Lake. Winters are long and severe here. This allows to build anything from ice and it will stand for a

long time. But it's hard to imagine two incompatible things together - ice walls and 120 Celsius degrees heat inside a sauna. But it's true. Water-boiling temperatures are divided from freezing ice only with a 1-inch-thick partition.

"A new convict is suspected in mass terror, responsible for thousands of cars damaged and normal traffic disrupted all across Russian Federation. He's name is Snow and he is wanted by federal

government to be detained and appear before gran jury." Looks not very real? But could be a good excuse: if people can't control snow they can accuse it and try to sue it!

If you leave your car somewhere around this city unattended you can get a... doorless car overnight. Such "door stripping" operation can save an owner of the same type mazda car a few hundreds dollars if he wants to repair

it after some accident and the thieves can gladly deliver the needed parts from some random parked car. Before, the mirrors and headlights were taken most often but it seems to be a something new one.

There is certainly something fascinating about bells. They are not just tools for producing high-quality and extraordinary clear sounds. Bell is also a means of fellowship of God and people. Somehow, bells draw His attention to something

that’s happening in a church. For toll can be a festive or a mournful thing; it also can inform one of good news or just please your ear with music that the toller makes. And there is more. Each bell is a work of art itself.
