Giant Pumpkin Artwork

Small, expertly carved pumpkins can be very impressive, but the folks at the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Halloween celebration in New York went in a different direction by making impressively massive pumpkin arrangements. The event features more than 5,000 hand-carved pumpkins on their own or arranged in all kinds of impressive setups, including a massive skeletal triceratops and a terrifying human-spider skeleton hybrid. The epic Halloween celebration lasts for 25 days and features food, live music, art exhibitions and other live events.

According to the event’s organizers, “the tradition of gourd carving dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries in rural Ireland and England. People created jack o’lanterns for the old holidays of Samhain and All Souls’ Night when spirits were thought to be the most active. Grotesque faces carved into the objects were meant to frighten away any ghouls seeking to do harm". The Jack ‘O Lanterns themselves, they say, come from a legend about a man named Jack who, rejected from both heaven and hell, was doomed to wander the earth with a lantern that he carved out of a turnip and lit with a candle.

Toilet Restaurant In Los Angeles

A new unusually themed restaurant is America’s first bathroom themed eatery has just opened outside of Los Angeles County’s City of Industry. Inspired by Taipei’s quirky but very popular Modern Toilet restaurant, the Magic Restroom Cafe. Bathroom themed restaurants have had great success in Japan and China in recent years, over a dozen Modern Toilet locations have opened in Taiwan alone, so it seems inevitable that the trend would eventually come stateside.
The Magic Restroom Cafe is an eating establishment that allows patrons to sit on toilets to eat a variety of Taiwanese-style dishes named after poopy things. It has also a lot of the food names like ‘Black Poop’-Chocolate Sundae, 'Constipation' and 'Bloody' number two Vanilla-Strawberry Sundae is served in little ceramic toilet bowls. The restaurant is called Magic Restroom Cafe and basically the deal is you sit on toilets and eat goopy brown curry out of miniature commodes.

5 Most Spoken Languages in the World


5 French
Number of speakers: 129 million
Often called the most romantic language in the world, French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, and France too. We’re actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing (ew!).To say “hello” in French, say “Bonjour” (bone-JOOR).


4 Portuguese
Number of speakers: 191 million
Think of Portuguese as the little language that could. In the 12th Century, Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator. (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine if a guy named “Prince Henry the Navigator” became a florist?) Because Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the language established itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it’s the national language), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique.To say “hello” in Portuguese, say “Bom dia” (bohn DEE-ah).

The remainder was supplied by nuclear power and renewable energy sources.The United States is the world's largest consumer of petroleum.For decades, nuclear power has played a limited role relative to many other developed countries, in part due to public perception in the wake of the 1979 Three Mile Island accident.
