A Man Cycling Around the World

Here goes the story of many years of wandering around the world by 
Salvador con Jose Rodriguez, a high school gym teacher from Spain
and the images of all the exciting places he visited while riding his bike.
It is really amazing how far he reached considering the fact that he never 
used any other transportation beside his bicycle. I couldn’t have reached
the next town on my bike, but I guess he had years of training before his
trip. Have a look at these great photos, the moving memories of his
difficult, exhausting and still fulfilling voyage.

Top 10 Earning Dead Celebrities

A year after his death at the age of 51, Michael Jackson records are still selling as strongly as ever, and a survey by Forbes magazine has ranked him as the top earning dead celebrity in the world.Not only is Michael Jackson the top earning dead celebrity in the world, his earnings are more than the next eleven in line combined, with a huge $275 million earnings.

The top ten dead celebrities with the most earnings follow Michael Jackson with Elvis Presley ($60 million), author of "The Hobbit" and "Lord Of The Rings" J.R.R. Tolkien ($50 million), Charles Schultz the creator of "Peanuts" ($33 million) and John Lennon ($17 million).

Given the deep debt that Michael Jackson was in prior to his death, he is obviously better off financially these days, since he doesn't have the ability to spend his earnings on frivolous fancies, such as a personal theme park, and weekly plastic surgery appointments.

Though United States is the formal appositional term, American and U.S. are more commonly used to refer to the country adjectivally ("American values," "U.S. forces"). American is rarely used in English to refer to people not connected to the United States.
