Indian Man Claims He Can Help People Lose Weight with Ultrasounds He Emits from His Vocal Cords

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 04:44 AM PDT

A lot of people want to lose weight quite badly, but is there anyone desperate enough to try this Indian man's weird technique? Jigar Shah, from the city of Ahmedabad, claims that he can induce weight loss in a person just by using his vocal cords to emit ultrasounds. He also says that he's helped cure several people suffering from hypertension, depression, asthma, aches, kidney failure and even cancer, using the same technique.

According to Jigar, his vocal cords are capable of emitting 'ultrasound', which he describes on his website as a 'very high frequency massage that can penetrate up to 5 inches below the skin's surface'. Conveniently, the frequency is not audible to the human ear. So when Jigar opens his mouth and says that he's emitting ultrasound waves, there is really no way to tell if he’s just pretending.

His website also tries to explain how the technique works: "Leaving the surrounding tissues untouched, ultrasound therapy for spot fat reduction and weight loss targets the fat layer of the skin, forcing fat cells to release triglycerides which are then processed by the body's natural fat burning process. The empty fat cells shrink and are expelled as body tissue waste. The results are less fat in the treatment area with visible inch loss and reduction in body circumference."

Russian Motor-Head Creates Perfect Life-Size Replica of Soviet Motorcycle Out of Wood

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 04:20 AM PDT

Yuri Hvtisishvili, a carpenter from Russia, has created an astoundingly perfect wooden replica of the legendary IL-49 Soviet motorcycle. The life-size model is so realistic that you'd expect him to mount it and take off at any moment.

The idea for the project came to Yuri earlier this year, when business was slow at the carpentry shop where he works. He wanted to attempt something new and different, and that's when he remembered something he saw on the internet – a master carpenter who had made full-scale models of motorcycles from wood. The idea inspired him, so he decided to replicate his favorite Russian motorcycle, the IL-49.

Drinking Blood Bags – The Latest Vampire Craze in China

Posted: 04 Jul 2014 12:32 AM PDT

Drinking red blood-like drinks has been a growing trend in China for a few years now, but it really became a social phenomenon among teenagers after the launch of the fifth season of American TV drama, The Vampire Diaries.

Now you can find red “Blood type energy potions” pretty much everywhere. They can be ordered online, or enjoyed in the company of fellow would-be vampires at themed cafes. One such establishment recently opened in Liaoning, and quickly became a hit with youths fascinated by Dracula and other popular blood-suckers. The staff is dressed as doctors and nurses, drinks are only available in plastic blood bags inscribed with different blood types, coffins adorn the walls and vampire-themes music plays in the background.
