The Big Bang!

The Big Bang is a theory that states how the universe began, how it all started if you will! I'm not really sure if this theory is valid or accepted in islam but nonetheless it's has scientific evidence backing it up, anyways let Columbia University astronomy and physics professor Janna Levin show you how it all started. In this first-rate animation that shows the Big Bang more concisely than I've ever seen, the professor makes an important point about the origin of our doughnut-shaped universe: Before the Big Bang, there was no space or time. There was nothing. That huge explosion didn't happen in space — it happened in the middle of nothing!

The Dead Sea!

The Dead Sea is the largest natural spa on the planet. Local treatments are said to be effective against rheumatism, asthma, cystic fibrosis, psoriasis, dermatitis and diseases of the heart, eyes and lungs.The Dead Sea enjoys 330 days of sunshine a year. It is the only place in the world where you can sunbathe successfully without getting burnt. The air above the sea contains three extra layers which prevent the harmful ultraviolet rays reaching the surface. Thats it! they had me at natural spa ;) im packing my bags right now>>i wish!

Do you want any sauce with that?

Forget ketchup and salsa! Eskimos consider raw seal oil the king of all condiments! the oil is produced by cutting up freshly slaughtered seal blubber(which is basically fat!) into chunks and leaving them outside in a bucket for 5 days, until the blubber melts and becomes oil! once ready just add tabasco sauce>>to each his own i guess!
Poor seal looks so innocent :(
