Winter storm Jonas was raving everywhere from Virginia to New England, bringing New York City and Washington DC to a halt dumping up to 40 inches of white powder in some places. It affected the lives of more than 80 million people and became the second largest storm in the history of NYC. No matter how nasty it was, it was still possible to embrace its grandeur and thrilling beauty by taking a pic or two! The Blizzard has proven to be the most photogenic event of the 2016 winter.

We’re always surrounded by stuff. Unspecified things everywhere! The floor beneath your feet, the roof above your head, bricks in the walls, zipper in your pants, lock in your door and everything else around you has been manufactured one way or another. Yet we rarely stop and think “how condoms are made” or “how did they manage to squeeze the toothpaste inside the tube”. We just take it for granted and we’re missing out on a lot of cool things. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these GIF’s are bloody comic books!
If you are one of those cynics who don’t believe in ghosts or think “The X-Files” isn’t based on real events, here are 10 places you should visit some time. Even one night at one of these famous haunted places will turn you into a believer for sure.
Our history is filled with all sorts of stories and legends about ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and other mythical creatures, legendary monsters, and supernatural beings. Most of them, of course, are fiction, others – probably too, but, it’s possible that a tiny part of those stories is true. Instead of talking about the same old Hollywood monsters like the aforementioned vampires and werewolves, we’ll look at some little-known, but just as mysterious creatures from legends and mythos of different countries, cultures and continents.
What comes to your mind when you hear ‘surfing’. I bet your imagination day dream starts something like this – California, palms, endless wild ocean, hot sunny weather, tanned athlete-looking boys and girls. And you’re absolutely right!

Everyone wants to know more about his/her favorite celebrities and some of these facts will be your food for thought…
Freckles have always been a debatable topic. Some people make fun of those who have speckled faces while others admire them and would love to have cute sun spots on their own faces. Haters might be simply jealous because everyone who has freckles stands out from the crowd, and it’s certainly one of the most distinct features that adds playfulness to your visage.
One of the coolest Japanese arts, aside from Kendo, is indisputably Origami. It’s an ancient art of folding paper, and while it may sound meh, once you’ve tried you yourself – you’re hooked! Too bad we can’t see any of the first origami pieces, since the paper isn’t very good at keeping it together for more than a hundred years or so. The art of folding the paper became popular around 200 years after it boomed in Japan. Since you can use pretty much any kind of paper to make intricate designs, it didn’t take long for people to start using money banknotes. Because why the hell not, right? This sub-genre of origami later became known as Orikane (“paper money”).
So here’s the question: if you could choose between an awesome origami piece, and a crisp $20 bill, which of the following masterpieces would you try to recreate?
