World’s Dirtiest Man: 80-Year-Old Iranian Man Hasn’t Bathed in 60 Years 80-year-old Haji believes that “cleanliness brings him sickness.” That’s why he hasn’t bathed at all in the past 60 years. He lives in isolation in Dejgah village, in the Southern Iranian province of Fars. Haji hates contact with water. Even the suggestion of a bath makes him very angry. And all these years of escaping bath time have taken their toll – Haji is almost the color of earth. He has managed to completely blend in with his surroundings. In fact, it’s easy to mistake him for a rock statue if he sits very still. It’s not just bathing that Haji dislikes. His disgust for fresh food and clean drinking water is unmistakable. Instead, he prefers his favorite meal of rotten porcupine meat. He drinks 5 liters of water a day for health purposes, but only from a large rusty oil can. He likes to fill his smoking pipe with animal feces instead of tobacco. To trim his hair he doesn’t use clippers; he just burns it off over an open flame. An old war helmet keeps his head warm during the winter. http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Amou-Haji2-550x366.jpg Haji doesn’t really have a house – the earth is his home. He lives in a hole in the ground, much like a grave, to keep him grounded and in touch with the reality of life. Sometimes he sleeps in an open brick shack that the villagers constructed for him out of pity. Locally, he is known as Amou Haji. ‘Amou’ is the Farsi term of endearment for a kind old man. http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Amou-Haji-550x364.jpg Haji’s lifestyle of choice is very unique. The villagers say that he had suffered severe emotional setbacks in his youth, which led him to make these extreme choices. Even so, he does seem a lot happier than some people who live in large homes with comforts and conveniences. Haji doesn’t seem to have a care in the world. He has nothing to lose, nothing to fear. Makes you think about what’s really important in life, doesn’t it? Haji isn’t the only person in the world who hates bathing. Two years ago, we wrote about Kailash Singh, an Indian man who hadn’t taken a bath in 38 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eijyb489uIM

And I'm not just talking to you, Narpet! :lol: :lol: Hilarious video, how young are these guys?

Today marks six years that she of the awesome avatars has been gracing this forum with her presence. Happy anniversary, Janie. I will make the ultimate sacrifice by listening to Spindrift in your honor today. I'm not quite sure why you hung around this place for four years before I even came on the scene, but perhaps you knew that better days were yet to come.

I was thinking about this the other day, as the dawn rose upon the wild pines I was sleeping under, and came to the conclusion that I would be perfectly fine with Geddy travelling back in time (with the technology we all know) and taking his younger self to 2015 to sing material that he can't anymore (or struggles with, you know, the classic stuff we all love to hear, like The Necromancer). It would probably be such a happy time for him, maybe they could even duet on bass. Plus we would get to see the double neck Rick again and die happy! Would anyone be opposed to Geddy doing this?

Hollywood director Jeff Pollack, 54, found dead after collapsing on run along California beach Jeff Pollack, who directed Booty Call and was a producer on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, was found dead along a running trail in California on Monday. He was 54. The Hermosa Beach Easy Reader reported that Pollack was already deceased when a woman reported finding his body around 6.30am on an area known as the Greenbelt along Hermosa Beach, about 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles. Authorities said on Thursday they do not suspect foul play. Pollack, full name Jeffrey Ian Pollack, was wearing jogging clothes and carrying an iPod Nano that was still playing The Eagles when the passer-by discovered him and called police... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2529729/Hollywood-director-producer-Jeff-Pollack-dead-California-beach.html

As you may know my husband, Brett and I live on a narrowboat... We have lived aboard Elsie for five and a half years and have decided its time for bricks and mortar. We've been talking about it for a while now. Neither of us want to stay aboard for another winter and we both want to be closer to family. We have handed in our notices at work and are going to move away from Shropshire in the West Midlands and move in with Brett's mum in Clacton-On-Sea, 250 miles away on the south east coast to begin with, then once we have secured jobs we're gonna get a place in Colchester which is about 20 minutes from Clacton... At least that's the plan!! Brett put Elsie on a boat sales website last week and if by this Friday she hasn't had any interest from buyers, then we are gonna take her to a brokerage and they can sell her on our behalf. So our adventure on the canal is ending and a new one's about to commence. :) The lyrics to Rush's Headlong Flight would seem appropriate right now.... With a couple of changes: "I have stoked the fires on Elsie's stoves, Steered our little ship down the canal..." :)

It was a cold misty morning at Tiger Canyons in South Africa, when the game drive came upon the two tiger males, Sunderban and Shy Boy posturing for a fight. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E25C00000578-638_964x613.jpg Sunderban was in Shy Boy's territory and was the bigger and more aggressive of the two. Five years old Sunderban weighed easily 200 kilograms while Shy Boy 8 years old weighs less, maybe 185 kilograms. This fight had been building up for months and I was interested to see whether Sunderban would take his coalition partner, Mahindra, into the fight. If he won the fight, Sunderban would get access to a larger territory and 4 additional females. The stakes were high, to say the least. Shy Boy did his best to bluff his way out of the fight but Sunderban was pressing for the kill. After a number of boxing sessions, Shy Boy tried to take refuge in the river. Launching off the bank, Sunderban had the advantage of height and knocked Shy Boy down and got him in the death grip, by the throat. I have filmed many fights, kills and brutal scenes during my time but this was by far the most raw, the most ferocious. What made it so emotional for me, is that I had been with both these tigers as they grew up from cubs. Sunderban was abandoned at birth, so I hand raised him. The hours spent in the canyon swimming with him and his sisters Zaria and Shine, are some of the happiest days of my life. Shy Boy as a cub would crawl across and smack the camera off the bean bag when I came too close to his kill. In short these two tigers are great friends of mine and I value that friendship greatly. I was desperately hoping for a friendly outcome but it was not to be. I could relate to Shy Boy situation as he lay in the great jaws of Sunderban, the life draining from his body. All I could do was stay neutral, stay calm and record the unbelievable scene unfolding in front of my eyes. Four minutes, five minutes went by. Shy Boy has had it! He's out of strength and he's out of air. Suddenly Sunderban thinking Shy Boy was dead, relaxes his grip momentarily. Shy Boy kicks ferociously catching Sunderban throwing him backwards. Like a flash, Shy Boy is back on his feet, boxing, ripping, fighting for his life. The primeval scene is one of the rawest and most brutal I have ever witnessed. Both tigers are a brown colour from the mud, the eyes and white teeth stand out against the dark background. The red blood flows from both tigers and steam rises in clouds from their bodies and snarling mouths. Eight professional cameras photograph from three viewing vehicles and I have no doubt that the images will travel instantly across the world. Hardened photographers elated by the images they have captured are also shocked at the brutality and ferocity of the fight. Personally I am emotionally drained by the ordeal, stunned at the raw power of the tigers, saddened that two of my tiger friends are in such a brutal fight. Like a triumphant boxer who jumps onto the ropes after victory, Sunderban goes onto the highest rock to proclaim his victory. Shy Boy is lying in some rocks, inaccessible to me and a vehicle. Is he hurt? What terrible wounds have been inflicted? Will Sunderban attack him again? What could I have done to prevent this terrible tragedy? These are the thoughts racing through my mind. One thing is certain, the expansion of the tiger range at Tiger Canyons which started on the 1st July 2013, cannot came soon enough. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990B8DF00000578-385_964x642.jpg This is the incredible moment a pair of bloodied tigers slashed each other with their claws in a dramatic fight over territory. The dramatic battle was caught on camera at the world famous 'Tiger Canyons' in the Londolozi private game reserve in Pretoria, South Africa. The clash erupted after one of the tigers delivered a vicious blow to the neck of its rival. Believing it to be dead, the tiger released its opponent from its jaws but instead of the fight coming to a grizzly end, the two broke out in a second, even more savage struggle. German photographer, Marion Vollborn, captured the predatory pair while on safari tour. Ms Vollborn said 'The day before I took these pictures, our group spotted two male tigers pacing along each of their own territory borders. 'There had been a female tiger who had mated with both males and there was a very tense atmosphere but nothing had yet happened. 'In the morning we all suddenly heard a loud roar and we drove immediately towards the noise. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E3CC00000578-478_964x641.jpg 'The male tigers we had been observing the day before were in the water hidden by reeds, one had bitten the other on the throat and they both remained still for several minutes. 'It was horrific to see, the tigers were covered in mud, blood and water we could see them both breathing heavily because of the cold air. 'One of the tigers assumed his rival to be dead and it stopped biting but the bitten tiger saw his chance to escape and save his own life. 'All of a sudden a spectacular fight for life and death began, again and again the males clawed at each other. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E32600000578-370_964x641.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E41E00000578-895_964x641.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E40A00000578-667_964x642.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990B62F00000578-407_964x869.jpg 'The roaring was unbelievably loud, everyone who was there watching was clearly scared and I will never forget those sounds. 'The two opponents went from the reeds to the shrubbery and finally to an open area, both were bleeding heavily and we all feared the worst. 'After 45 minutes of fighting a winner emerged, it was the significantly stronger and younger male. 'Luckily, both survived the battle and their wounds are now healed. 'For a photographer it's spectacular to see something like this, but as an animal lover it makes it very hard to watch.' http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E38400000578-473_470x621.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990B3EC00000578-344_470x621.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E2D500000578-608_964x641.jpg

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii282/Lerxster/28b24d13-98eb-4cf1-82bf-5acff22f5590_zps40e1bbb8.jpg The Beatles have finally released the track list to their new BBC collection, called, On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2. The set will be released on November 11th -- just short of 19 years after the first volume, Live At The BBC, which will also be reissued in remastered sound the same day. On Air is being released as double-CD and 180-gram vinyl packages with a 48-page booklet. On Air's 63 tracks, none of which overlaps with 1994's Live At The BBC, includes "37 previously unreleased performances and 23 previously unreleased recordings of in-studio banter and conversation between the band's members and their BBC radio hosts." The BBC recordings have long been a treasure trove for bootleggers due to various radio specials over the years, which have rebroadcast both BBC reference discs and home recorded air checks -- with varying sound quality. Between March 1962 and June 1965, the "Fab Four" performed an astounding 275 different musical performances broadcast by the BBC across the U.K. The group played songs on 39 radio shows in 1963 alone -- which was the band's most busy year laying down tracks for the BBC. The Beatles played 88 distinct songs in their BBC sessions - some were recorded many times; others performed just once. Paul McCartney commented on the band's performances: "There's a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in the best performance of our lifetimes. . . We'd been raised on the BBC radio programs. One of the big things in our week was Saturday Club -- this great show was playing the kind of music we loved, so that was something we really aspired to." During his final in-depth TV interview in 1975 on NBC's Tomorrow Show, John Lennon explained that a major part of his and the Beatles' allure was the fact that they were never ashamed of their Liverpool roots: "We were the first working class singers that stayed working class, and pronounced it. 'Didn't try to change our accents, which in England were looked down upon -- probably still are -- like a Bronx accent, it's the equivalent to that." Although original drummer Pete Best was on hand for the Beatles' initial BBC radio appearances -- like the 1994 BBC collection -- none of his performances have made the cut on the new set. The missing songs -- which have never been available in great quality are: Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)," the Coasters' arrangement of "Besame Mucho," and Joe Brown's "A Picture of You,." Best, who says that he has had no substantial contact with any of the Beatles since the night before he was fired, feels that Ringo Starr walked into a much cushier job than he did upon joining the Beatles: "Y'know, when you think about it, the first trip out to Hamburg, (Germany), we were playing six, seven hours a night. And I think actually, when (laughs) Ringo joined they were playing 20 minutes, half-an-hour sessions, or something like that. So, I did a lot of the spade work, put the long hours in and he was the one who picked up the glory." The tracklisting to The Beatles: On Air - Live At The BBC Volume 2 is: •Disc One And Here We Are Again (Speech) WORDS OF LOVE How About It, Gorgeous?
