10 Daily Things

A holidaymaker managed to take a seven-inch knife on board a plane, moments after his 13-year-old daughter had a bottle of fizzy drink confiscated by security staff.

Nick White realised that he had the lock knife in his pocket as he reached the security gate at Birmingham Airport. So he put it though the scanner with the rest of the contents of his pockets - and to his surprise, security staff failed to spot it.

But his daughter, Shannon, was not so lucky because they confiscated a soft drink from her as part of increased security measures at the airport.

Once they boarded the plane, the party took photos of Mr White posing with the knife to show to friends. Mr Stanley, 20, of Main Street, Walton-on-Trent, said: “The air stewards were walking past and saw me taking the pictures. We were talking and laughing about it, not trying to hide it.

“They didn’t say anything.”

This photo is from a hotel! located at Turkey’s Antalya.

This specific hotel is named “Kadirs Tree House Hotel ” and it is just one of the of “Unusual Hotels of the World” where you can find hotel rooms at caves, underwater, trees any many more WOW locations!

The world’s biggest hole is located in Russia.

The giant hole is actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town Mirna. It is 525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter. View all the photos here.

Some guys said that this is not the bigger hole and report the Utah’s Kennecott copper mine and the US President as bigger ones!

From my point of view the Russian hole it looks more like hole, while the Utah’s looks more like canyon and US President more like an asshole!

Copying from Wikipedia:

In Greece, in particular on the island of Crete, Tsikoudia or Raki is a grape-based spirit made from the distillation of pomace, i.e., the pieces of grapes (including the stems and seeds) that were pressed for the winemaking process. It’s a pomace brandy comparable to an Italian grappa or French marc.

If you ever visit Crete, I’m sure you had the opportunity to drink Tsikoudia. A lot of people believe that Tsikoudia is a very strong spirit. This is partial true. In fact contains as much alcohol as Whiskey of Vodka. The real true is it has a very strong taste. This is the reason many people believe it as a strong spirit. The main feeling of drinking Tsikoudia, is a “burn” at the mouth and/or throat. A strong feeling of this burn is the main symptom to understand you’re drinking it the wrong way!

The correct way (according my “strong experience”) is: “Swallow it, don’t drink it” and eat something cool afterwards, like a raw vegetable (cucumber, tomato etc) or a fresh fruit (apple, watermelon etc). This is how the old Cretan people used to drink the Crete’s tranditional spirit, learned by “the original source”
