30 World’s Strangest Inventions

This post could be also called stupidest inventions, coolest inventions or the most useless inventions. It doesn’t change a thing – they are all just incredible. Most of them are not new, but I heard that there are some people who use Internet solely for reading Village of Joy blog, so this post might be just for them. Happy reading! By the way, my favorite one is #10.

A US underwear manufacturer has invented pants designed to hide the smell of farts. To prevent gases escaping without passing through it, the underpants are made from air-tight fabric and completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs. “We get a lot of jokes - but we don’t doubt that this is a serious product that serves a purpose” says inventor Buck Weimer.

When time is up, a bell sounds and the penguin automatically lifts his beak, removing the tea bag from the water. You can buy one on Amazon for around 11.45$.

Weird Animal Facts - Strange But True!


Elephants are the only animals that can't jump even though they have the same number of bones in their feet as other mammals. The bones in an elephant's foot are more closely packed together than other mammals so they do not have the flexibility or spring mechanisms that would enable them to jump.

Crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.Crocodiles have tongues that are attached to the bottom of their mouths. Since it's attached, of course they are unable to stick it out and make rude noises at us upstart mammals.

A snail can sleep 3-4 years at a time! In fact even regular snails can stretch their sleep to a week. Snails hibernate too. We are lucky to actually see a snail that moves! No matter how SLOWLY!

Butterflies taste with their feet. Their taste sensors are located in the feet, and by standing on their food, they can taste it! All butterflies have six legs and feet. In some species such as the monarch, the front pair of legs remains tucked up under the body most of the time, and are difficult to see.

Polar bears are left-handed.

A giraffe can clean its ears with its 21-inch tongue. It is commonly known that the giraffe is the tallest animal in the world, sometimes reaching a height in excess of 18 ft. Along with its long neck, the giraffe has a very long tongue, more than a foot-and-a-half long, with which it can clean its ears!

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. This is due to the small brain cavity in the skull of the ostrich and the need for a large field of vision to watch for predators, thus larger eyes.

Owls are the only birds who can see the color blue.


Dolphins sleep with one eye open.

Wedding Marathon: Biggest Mass-Weddings In History

Wedding Marathon: 700 pairs united their destinies in a ceremony that will go down in the record books as one of the biggest mass-weddings in history. The fact that they are living in a territory disputed between Azerbaijan and Armenia, didn’t stop the inhabitants of this country to prove their independence by organizing a wedding marathon. This true wedding marathon took place last week in the small Republic of Artsakh, internationally known as Nagorno-Karabakh.
