Great Big Hole
This is known as The World's Biggest Hole (even though it's really not) and it's located in Russia. It's a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town of Mirna and is 525 meters deep and 1.25 kilometers in diameter. This truck is one of the biggest in the world. 13.36 meters in length, 7.78 meters in width, and 6.65 meters tall. In this picture below, the truck appears as just a small dot. The suction above this hole is so great, that several helicopters crashed as a result of it. Satellite view.

4 Bizarre Experiments That Should Never Be Repeated
by Megan Wilde 1. The Real World: Mental Hospital Edition This is the true story of three schizophrenics, who all believed they were Jesus Christ. Rokeach hoped the Christs would give up their delusional identities after confronting others who claimed to be the same person. Unable to turn the other cheek, the three Christs often argued until punches were thrown. But the behavior of the schizophrenics isn’t even the most bizarre part. As part of the experiment, the psychologist wanted to see just how entrenched each man’s delusions were. At the end of their two-year stay, each man still believed he was the one and only son of God. 2. In 1963, Dr. Delgado was among a small group of researchers developing a new type of electroshock therapy. For several years, Delgado experimented on monkeys and cats, making them yawn, fight, play, mate, and sleep—all by remote control. Delgado’s next challenge was to experiment with bulls in Spain. 3. On day 79, however, his sanity started to crack. 4.

The Top 10 Relationship Words That Aren't Translatable Into English
Here are my top ten words, compiled from online collections, to describe love, desire and relationships that have no real English translation, but that capture subtle realities that even we English speakers have felt once or twice. As I came across these words I’d have the occasional epiphany: “Oh yeah! That’s what I was feeling...” Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start. Oh yes, this is an exquisite word, compressing a thrilling and scary relationship moment. Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. From what I glean, in common usage yuanfen means the "binding force" that links two people together in any relationship. But interestingly, “fate” isn’t the same thing as “destiny.” Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair. Ya’aburnee (Arabic): “You bury me.”
