a Cactus killed a man in self-defense

a Cactus killed a man in self-defense

Plants strike back sometime. It all took place in a winter morning in 1982, Arizona, U.S.A.
Two friends went out to the desert with shotguns and began shooting at cacti (a.k.a Cactus plugging – a term that even appears in Wikipedia), after shooting a large Saguaro cactus from a very close distance , a 1.5 meter long part of the cactus fell on one of them, crushing him to death. Saguaros cacti are tall and can reach as high as 20 meters and.. well, can kille a man in self-defense.

Vegan Strip Club

Vegan Strip Club

Until a few years ago (2008) Casa Diablo – “The World’s First Vegan Strip Club” was just a vegan restaurant named “Pirate’s Tavern“. Johnny “Diablo” Zukle (the owner) stated he was amazed at how hard it was to get people to come and dine in a vegan restaurant, even in Portland, Oregon (which is widely known for being the most vegetarian-friendly city in America), Then again, there is one more thing which Portland is known for –  it is considered to have the highest number of strip clubs per capita (more than any other city in the U.S), Why not combine the two? Pirate’s Tavern became Casa Diablo – “The World’s First Vegan Strip Club“combining vegan food with naked women.

Who loves U.S?

Who loves U.S?

a Cool thing I learned today – there are 3 countries in the world (as of 2013) that like the U.S more than the U.S likes itself.
The Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project carries out surveys around the world  in about 60 countries!
In this survey the people were asked “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the U.S.?” and the U.S came 4th after the view of the Philippines, Israel and Ghana, crazy..
