Aesthetic Experts Have Chosen The Most Beautiful Animal In The World

ForUsToBe — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 10:19:14 +0000

We could start this article with this old Latin proverb:”De gustibus (et coloribus) non est disputandum.” Translating this proverb isn’t easy, but it goes something like this: “There must not be debate concerning tastes.” Now, that we remembered our Latin we could use this proverb for the next discovery. White Peacock is the most beautiful animal in the world, aesthetic experts say.

The Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) is a specie of flying bird best known for the male’s extravagant eye-spotted tail, which it displays as part of courtship.

People believe that white peacocks are albinos, but actually a product of leucism (dimming of skin and feather pigments).

What do you think is the most beautiful animal in the world?

Cool And Unique iPhone Cases And Covers

Owning a smartphone, like iPhone, is kind of a status symbol. Yes, it can do all the amazing things that can make your life easier, but at the end of a day it’s still just a mobile phone.
So how to make that phone into something special? Maybe with a special case that will keep your iPhone safe?

Bamboo is the fastest growing tree plant in the world. It grows about two inches per hour or almost 50 inches per day. This makes bamboo one of the most important plants when talking about preserving the nature. So it is logical (thank you Spock ) to make an iPhone case out of bamboo. It is even cooler when you find out that you can have your own design. These are just some of the ideas how to design your bamboo case for iPhone.

Another great idea comes from landfills of Portland where old and used skateboards are no more thrown away and left to rotten. The best thing about this case is that no two iPhone covers are identical because every case is made out of different skateboard.

If you read our blog or if you are an environmentalist like we are, you surely know what kind of problems plastic bottles make. So recycling plastic bottles in any sense is well appreciated. We found that one company makes iPhone covers strictly from recycled plastic bottles. With every case you buy one plastic bottle gets recycled to make that case. Cool, is it not?

Two years after Paul the Octopus predicted eight football matches at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, animals around the world are competing for Paul’s job.

Pretenders are a pig with the fondness for beer named Khryak a.k.a. Psychic Pig, Citta the elephant – which predicted that Chelsea would win Champions League, and Fred the ferret.

Citta has the experience that lacks Khryak and Fred. She was a better prognostician than a donkey, a parrot or an elephant.

Khryak the pig has some problems with public appearances so his PR team is training him to handle the media.

After his cat was killed by a car, Dutchman Bart Jansen made a helicopter out of his pet cat. Yes, you read correct, he made a flying object out of his dead cat. Now the cat is remotely operated.

Bart is an artist and when Orville died he stuffed him. Orville actually got a name from one of the Wright brothers.

Those that made first successful airplane in 1903. But to make Orvilles death not in vain he made a chopper out of him and called it a Orvillecopter.

It is hard to say what to think of this act. Do we respect the dead pet if we use him as a comfort or are we desecrating memory of him by doing this.
