The deepest swimming pool in the world is located in Brussels, Belgium inside a recreational diving center and anyone can use it provided they are accompanied by a professional diver. With a depth of 33 meters (108 ft) the pool contains several submerged structures offering a variety of diving opportunities.

The Sneeze - Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions. Join me in saying F-YOU to my tastebuds. Steve, Don't Eat It! Vol. 1 Potted Meat Food Product There aren't too many products that feel the need to reassure you that they are, in fact, "food." The list of ingredients is long and horrifying, coming right out of the gate with "MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN." Other ingredients include BEEF TRIPE, BEEF HEARTS, AND "PARTIALLY DE-FATTED COOKED PORK FATTY TISSUE" How does one de-fat fat? Okay, I'm going to go try it now. I'm back. Okay, here we go-- Pulling back the lid (not recommended) lets loose an odor that punches you in the nose like a stinky fist. Inside is a smooth, oddly pink meat paste. The can shows a serving suggestion of the Potted Meat being served on squares of toast. All I can tell you is, I survived the first installment of "Steve, Don't Eat It." Not surprisingly, I've come up with a little slogan the peeps who handle Potted Meat Marketing can use (no charge, as always): POTTED MEAT FOOD PRODUCT: Made By, For, And With Assholes.

Graphik Addict 18 Hacked Digital Road Signs Road signs are pretty boring, albeit important. They tell us where to go, what to do and what we should avoid on the road. Road signs don't usually make us laugh -- until people figured out that they could be altered in a number of ways. Pasting a sign over another sign is a simple idea, but hacking into the digital road signs that warn us about traffic delays and road hazards is a whole new level of dedication to mishievous shenanigans. Here are 19 of the funniest hacked digital road signs. "You'll Never Get to Work on Time, Haha!!" "Take Your SUV Back to Detroit" "Trapped in Sign Factory" "Sorry Mario -- The Princess Is in Another Castle" "This Sign Has Been Hacked" "Drive Drunk" "Prepare to Be Annoyed" Zombies are a favorite for these sign-hackers. "Nobody Has Ever Loved You" "Extreme Fire Hazard -- Don't Even Fart in the Forest" "OMG The British Are Coming" "Raptors Ahead, Caution" "New York Is Dying" "There May Be Trouble Ahead" "Party At Julia's 2nite" "Klaatu Barada Nikto" "UFO Crossing Ahead"

Who would have thought that dumpsters could be so much fun British design graduate Oliver Bishop-Young has come up with an urban art project, called the SkipWaste project, where dumpsters are used in a fun and different way. They are no longer used for trash, but for activities and other amazing art installations. You have dumpsters that work as either a skate ramp, a lawn, a flower bed, a pool, or even a cozy living room. They appeal to everybody, both the younger and the older. Others have also used simple objects to create urban art, like the four Australian friends that created a huge “Lego Man” out of ordinary milk crates.

67 Not Out: Married Couple In The Same Photo As Children Here's a photo coincidence on the lines of the post I published called Photo Taken Of Father Showed His Missing Daughter. I came across this new one by chance on a video from WXII 12 TV . The odds against this coincidence happening must be millions to 1. Young newly weds Alex and Donna Voutsinas were looking through some of Donna's old photos from when she was a child and came across one of her at Disney World. Donna is at the front of the photo, see above, with one of the Disney characters and then Alex spotted something - his dad! Yes, it's his dad in the background of the photo pushing a stroller (pushchair) and, of course, in the stroller is Alex. A remarkable coincidence because the families didn't know each other back then and, to make it even more remarkable, at the time of the photo Alex lived in Canada and Donna in Florida. It looks like their lives touched upon each other when they were young ready for the big romance in later years.

Protect Private Parts From Full Body Scans with Fig Leaf Underwear - Tonic Thanksgiving Eve is a highly anticipated (and even more dreaded) day for many Americans. The upside is, you’re one day closer to eating your mom’s delicious apple pie. The downside? You’re probably up on the controversy over the way the Transportation Security Administration is handling airport security this year thanks to last year’s “ underwear bomber .” Basically you have two options: go through an invasive and revealing full-body scanner or be pulled aside for an invasive and intimate full-body pat down. ABC News reports that so far, airports have been quiet and that not many passengers have chosen to “opt out” of the body scan as expected. Jeff Buske, a 52-year-old electrical engineer, has another nifty option for you. “You shouldn’t have to be digitally strip-searched or doused with radiation to visit your grandmother,” Buske told the Los Angeles Times . Go to Rocky Flats Gear to play Adam and Eve and get yourself a pair. Photo by geishaboy500 via Flickr .
