Alls Fair and so on........

Time to even things up here. We saw the Penis Museum. and Now...*drumroll please......* We have the............Museum of MENSTRUATION. Yes i said Menstruation. Another weird thing i wasn't looking for but caught a side bar ad for on some website.

Interesting i must say. I never knew there were so many kinds of tampons. Menstrual cups?? what?? huh?? PMS Crunch?? A snack of goodies for that time of the Month?? Sounds as bad as those Stupid commercials that scream about having a Happy Period. BullBerries there's no such thing as a Happy Period. Period! Just ask my Boyfriend, He's never happy when i'm having my period. LOL.

Ah well if your feeling gutsy or daring or your drunk and wont remember anything in the morning please feel free to take a look at the following websites.

Not for faint of heart..or your mom.....

Well not that i actively go looking for things like this. But sometimes things just happen to appear whether you wanted them to or not.

Phallology. A Word that can't be found in a dictionary. But The Icelandic Phallological Museum says it's a little known science, OF penises. Ok ok laugh. And let me repeat i wasn't looking for male anatomy neither scientific or porn on the internet. I was looking at some European travel sites, Uumm ahh....that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

Anywho..This museum isn't just about male humans outdoor plumbing. It has over 200 specimens of penises and penis parts of land and sea mammals native to Iceland. Yes they even have a few human. Cool?? or Weird??


Sorry no pics this time. You have to go to the site to look at them. I do have some pride for my blog...well kinda.....

Personal Protection of the 50s

As i was watching some YouTube the other night, i came across the video of Duck and Cover. An old instructional film of the 50s that was used to teach school age children how to protect themselves in the event of an unexpected Nuclear Attack. Im sorry i had to laugh. I know this was a very serious thing back then, but still...Bert???

Well than i got curious about these so-called infomercials of the 50s. and i found this website that had a lot and i mean a lot of old vids of these films. There was even old sex-ed films for boys of the 50s, (did they even teach that stuff back then??) an anti-homosexual film for young boys and how to avoid male molesters. Meet King Joe (1949) A animated cold war film aimed at American Workers to show them what good fortune they have. Mind Your Manners (1953) A film about how teenagers can cultivate good manners by having a real desire to get along with others. Mother Takes a Holiday (1952) A film about how electrical Appliances free women of housely duties. This could be taken in a good or bad way. lol.

I find these infomercials of the 40s 50s and 60s interesting. The mindset of people back then. but than again this stuff didn't happen that long ago...I suppose in 60, 70 years from now everything we now think of as very important and meaningful will be laughable and goofy looking too.

So visit this site and take a look at your past. makes a person think.

Or you can see a couple of the Vids i saved in my favs of YouTube at the bottom of this blog.

Niagara Falls Frozen

As i was gandering at various sites for Victoria Falls, I came upon these pictures about Niagara Falls freezing over. According to the page it stated it was unknown when the Falls froze. but the best guess was somewhere between 1890 and 1936. The pictures im posting are from Niagara Falls Public Library. According to them they are taken at different times. I find this interesting because who would have thought that Niagara Falls could ever freeze solid. Although some say these were only partial freezes. This would have been a cool site to see.

This is the kind of stuff i love to look at. The strange and weird. Well this was just a tidbit i thought was interesting.

Safe travels all.

Water, Water and Water.

One thing i love about being an Internet Tourist is that i can be on one side of the world and in a flash be on the other side. When i can i will add the website url of the place i visit. All though a lot of times i will visit numerous website to get the whole picture of what i'm visiting. Sometimes as i travel i'll even stop and bring up some of the more Posh Hotels and resorts...places that id never be able to afford (600-$1000 night rooms) even if i was their in person. Maybe one time ill post something about the hotels/resorts that i really like. Anywho...i just went to a place that i once saw a picture of a long time ago.

Victoria Falls is its name. I had once seen a picture of some people swimming in a place called Devils Pool. It is in Zimbabwe, Africa. At the time the big debate was if the picture were real or fake. Personally i didn't care if it was real or fake because it freaked me out. Yes, i get queasy just looking at pictures of heights. LOL but i'm a glutton for punishment and i really REALLY want to go take a look at the new building in Dubai. There is even a cool youtube vid out there of some guy standing on the very tippy top of the building. Eeew im getting woozy just thinking about it. GAA!! Ok Ok back to Africa....

When i started for Victoria Falls I Googled, Yahoo'd, and Bing'd it. Im not one to take the word and posts of just one site/search engine. Trust me not all search engines are the same. So off i went on a wonderful trip. I started by visiting Victoria Falls the town. Its on the Zimbabwe side of the Falls and Livingstone town is on the Zambia side. Livingstone was named after the famous David Livingstone who in 1855 was the very first European to see the falls. Some of the pictures are just awe inspiring. Supposedly this is one of Seven Wonders of the World, but than it all depends on where you look and who you ask. Over 132,275 gallons of water go over the Falls in a minute. The spray that is created by that amount of water shoots all the way up to 1300 ft, sometimes even higher. The spray can be seen 30 miles away.

The Devils pool, oh my gosh!! Nice blue water....TUMBLING AND CRASHING over the cliff, to drop 338ft to a rocky bottom. WOW!! I'm not sure if you could get me into that pool. Take a look at some of the pictures. Would you? Yes there are Crocs and Hippos in the river, BUT even they aren't stupid enough to get this close to the Falls. So it is fairly safe. I think. Welllll that is why im here, safe, the most dangerous thing around here is my sleeping dog and that would be tripping over him and breaking a leg.

As i visit these places i can be sucked into the History of the region also. I learned about the natives and their lives before the Falls became so popular. Sometimes ill get carried away and wind up reading and watching vids of the surrounding country. Sometimes my trips take a few minutes to hours, even days. Some i keep going back to over and over and over again.

Well happy travels everyone.

Welcome. One of my favorite sites.

Well i couldn't decide where to start. So i figured i might as well start with one of my favorite websites for seeing things i never even knew existed. The interesting thing about this website, is that it pertains to Russia aka Soviet Union. I saw Soviet Sub bases, Pics of Moscow and its people as they were in the 50s, 60s, 70s. Abandoned Cold War Military base pics. Chernobyl, as it was before and after the nuclear meltdown.

I find it interesting that Russia has so many abandoned cities, businesses, towns, Military bases. Chernobyl, Bechyovinka, Kadikchan, Kola just to name a few of the Cities abandoned. Uralmash was a company that destroyed acres and acres of land just to be built and than abandoned. I understand that so many of these places were abandoned after the Soviet Union Collapse. One of the most interesting abandoned places i looked at was Stalins Gulags. And the stories told about life in them.

I could go on and on about Russia. But ill save some for later. So if you get a chance Visit this website and come back and let me know what you think.
