A horrific soccer injury in English Premier League… Arsenal’s Croation striker Eduardo suffered a broken ankle resulted from a tackle, and would likely to be sidelined for nine months.
While this might not be the worst injury people have ever seen on football field… this photo taken by a sport journalist that reflects the exact moment of the tackle are definitely horrifying. Eduardo’s ankle could be seen completely twisted (and broken) following the impact…
Horrible injury, but great photo. Get well soon Eduardo.
Once in a lifetime photo…
This photo of a UFO over Cornwall is hailed by experts as one of the best ever taken in Britain.
UFO sightings at Cornwall
55-year-old Kelvin Barbery snapped the mystery object on Dec 29 (2007) from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth.
In a weird twist, Kelvin did not even see the UFO at the time. He thought he was just taking a sea view… but when he loaded the digital camera card on to his computer, the round metallic ‘craft’ was in the centre of the shot, about two miles away. [Thesun]
This news surprisingly didn’t make it big on international papers. Perhaps people are getting bored over pictures, reports, news and videos about UFO sightings, which are often found as fraud in the end.
Personally I do believe that there are other living beings out there… it would be too arrogant to think that human beings are the only intellectual livings in this mass universe.

The two images of the Leaning Tower of Pisa are identical but it gave an impression that the right tower leans more than the left… simple yet amazing. [Why?]
