Top 10 Weird Icecream Flavors No matter what part of the world you live in, these days, you're bound to encounter some very unusual ice creams. I've listed them according to what I think is the most awful. Perhaps you'll disagree with my choices. 1)Horseflesh- Raw horseflesh - that's right, it's raw meat in your favorite dessert. From Japan this is top of the list for gross and most horrible. 2) Spleen and artichoke - Enough to make you puke, don't you think? 3) Shark fin - I've heard of shark fin soup, which sounds bad enough to me but why would you ruin a perfectly good dessert. 4) Garlic- Are you going to keep the vampires at bay with this one. 5) Sardines and brandy - The brandy part's OK but I don't get the sardines part. 6) Caviar - Don't like it anyway, never mind spoiling a good ice cream. 7) Sauerkraut - Why would anyone add pickled vegetables to spoil a delicious dessert. 8) Cod fish - Oh dear another one that smells too fishy for me.

Isolated Peru tribe makes uncomfortable contact - Technology & science - Science LIMA, Peru — Peruvian authorities say they are struggling to keep outsiders away from a clan of previously isolated Amazon Indians who began appearing on the banks of a jungle river popular with environmental tourists last year. The behavior of the small group of Mashco-Piro Indians has puzzled scientists, who say the encounters may be related to the encroachment of loggers and by low-flying aircraft from nearby natural gas and oil exploration in the southeastern region of the country. Clan members have been blamed for two bow-and-arrow attacks on people near the riverbank in Madre de Dios state, where officials say the Indians were first seen last May. One badly wounded a forest ranger in October. The following month, another fatally pierced the heart of a local Matsiguenka Indian, Nicolas "Shaco" Flores, who had long maintained a relationship with the Mashco-Piro. The upper Madre de Dios region where the tribe lives has been affected by logging, she said. More about 'uncontacted' tribes:

5 Posh Private Islands for Sale Despite the trying economic times, 2011 was a standout year for extravagant private island estates—some of them thrust to market thanks to the bankruptcy of their owners. Topping our list of favorites is the outrageously expensive Italian archipelago known as the Li Galli Islands. Lying just off the Amalfi Coast of Italy, the $268 million property was built by choreographer Leonide Massine in 1924, passed to fellow Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev, later modified by the great Le Corbusier, and hosted stars like Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Sofia Loren, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The real history goes back a bit further, to Greek and Roman mythology. Situated between the Amalfi Coast and the emperor's getaway on Capri, the islands, then known as the Sirenusas, were said to be the home of the mythical sirens, the musical half-beast half-women who lured mariners onto the rocks with their songs.

s Prettiest Hotel Pools The world's largest pool in Algarrobo, Chile. (Courtesy of the San Alfonso del Mar) There are a few things that most of us check before booking a hotel: First, if it's clean; second, if it's affordable; and third, if it has a pool. And though we might have been hoping to splash about or swim some laps in an Olympic-size pool, we so often book a place that has a tiny water-filled hole with too much (or too little) chlorine and the occasional child-size Band-Aid floating on the surface. Sure, having a hot tub helps justify a Podunk pool, but why should we settle for anything less than spectacular? To answer that question: we shouldn't.
