Fun Friday

Another Fun Friday is here again, and this week we’re taking some help from the Ripley’s Believe it or Not website where all of these pictures come from.

— The World’s Largest Pot of Soup–

The world’s largest pot of soup could feed 60-70 thousand people! The pot contained 3,960 gallons of soup.

– Snakes are the new security guards–

People are worried about jobs getting outsourced to foreign countries, but what about jobs being outsourced to animals? The snake pictured below protects a $120,000 pair of sandals at a store in London.

– Take a Bubble Bath in the Ocean–

A natural phenomenon resulted in the picture taken below.  Apparently in New South Wales, this phenomenon covered the beach in foam.

– Oldest Chewing Gum… Ever!–

How’d you like to come across a 5,000 year old piece of gum? It looks like a rock to me, but it’s an already chewed piece of gum!

– Get bit by a snake… with its head cut-off?–

How’d you like to get bit by a snake that has had its head cut off? One man experienced just that, and the pain and swelling was intense! Next time you come across a rattlesnake, remember, it can bite you – even with its head cut off.

– A Cat That can predict death–

If you live in the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Rhode Island, this pet cat should scare you.  Apparently Oscar has predicted the death of over 25 patients. When he goes and sits by a person, they usually end up dying within a few hours.

– The World’sLargest Snake–

An electric fence was installed after a farmer wanted to solve the mystery of what was happening to all of his animals that went missing. This is what he found – the World’s largest snake:

– Climb the stairs of the Empire State Building–

Taking the stairs at the Empire State Building sounds exhausting enough, so imagine what it was like for this guy to climb all the flights of stairs on his hands!

Fun Friday

It’s the day after Thanksgiving here in the United States which means hopefully those of you living here were able enjoy friends, family, some turkey, and of course football yesterday! Many of you are probably still in bed recovering from eating too much food while others are out in the craziness of what we call Black Friday. For those of you who don’t live in the U.S., or didn’t want to put up with lines and pushy people, not to worry, we’ve brought Black Friday to you! Here’s a look at the day after Thanksgiving in images.

Sleeping outside to be the 1st (or one-hundredth) in line

Tents are put away about 2 hours before open, and the line forms!

On your mark, get set….GO!

It’s like a stampede!

When everybody wants the same thing…

Wall-to-wall deals People!

Waiting in yet another line to pay for your purchases…

Haulin’ out the loot…

Oh, and don’t bring weapons… (people do!)

Loading up the goods…

In case the car isn’t big enough for all of your purchases…

Hooray! (How employees feel when their shift is over…)

How you feel when it’s all said and done…

How your wallet looks when the day is over:

What you’ll be eating for the next month…
