World's Strongest Vagina

Breaking world records has always been the dream of many people. You know like, stuffing the most olives in ones mouth, longest continuous time standing on one's head. But this one is quite a bit different . Quite a bit.


This is Tatiana Kozhevnikova, She is the World Record holder for having the strongest vagina. Surprisingly she is 42 years old and can lift 31 pounds of weights with, you know, her vagina. It is not shocking that she is Russian because after all those Russians know how to have a good time. What is shocking is the story of how she started doing this. Here it goes. After she had a baby, she read about how to tighten things back up. She learned that ancient women used to use wooden balls as exercise equipment for this purpose. Not having access to wooden balls, Tatiana found the next best thing. Glass balls. So she shoved one up and started a daily routine workout which I guess went a little overboard and turned her Vajajay into Super Vajajay. Luckily, you don't have to visualize this because there is a video (don't worry it's clean). It's just kinda freaky thinking about the fact that this woman can swing a small child just by pure clenching strength. Really damn weird.

DIY, How To, Make Anything

The site for today is quite popular among "Do It Yourselfers ", but is pretty much unknown to the rest of the population. The site is Instructables.com and has tons of user submitted tutorials on how to make just about anything. These projects posted on the site range from very simple household items to complex electronics projects. This website is a paradise for people who like to tinker with everything, but it doesn't stop there. For example there is a food section where people share interesting recipes such as "How To make Plum BBQ sauce and syrup". I have been a member of this site for a while now and I use it mainly for making at home photography gear and anything else I find.
To top it off, two days ago there was a contest on the site where a picture was posted up and people could submit a funny caption. The editor chose the winner and it was ME. YAY! I won a Spy camera that attaches to your sunglasses. They have these contests randomly so keep an eye out. My Winning contest Entry.
There is a lot to cover on this site, so let me know if you find something cool to make. With a little bit of ingenuity and skills you could make something really really cool. Like this computer keyboard.

Join a Fun Group

It's a beautiful summer and we should all be out having some fun. Sometimes when I find a hobby or interest, I have trouble finding people who share the same interest. After all doing something is much more fun with a group who enjoys it. Stop searching around and asking people you know if they want to do something you love. Just join MeetUp.com and find a group right in your neighborhood.
This site is pretty well known, or so I thought. I'm surprised at the number of people who haven't heard of it. I searched for a photography group and found a dozen right in my area. They schedule photo shoots with models and full setups. It's fun and I can learn from others who are more experienced. My suggestions for groups are photography, hiking, running, board games. Just type in your interest and you will definitely come across at least a few groups. They even have a polyamory group in SoCal. I swear I didn't search it up it just came up on the home page. LOL. Let me know if you join any groups, cause others may be interested.

This has been you daily find from the search whiz. Now go do something and thank me by signing up for the blog.


Just To get you started, these are some groups in my area:

Literal Music Videos

As if the 80's weren't hilarious enough, a few people had the idea to take some music videos and record the song to sing what was actually happening in the video. Sounds a little weird, but once you watch one you will get it. This is one post that I'm sure you want to share with someone who needs a good laugh. There's a bunch more of them, but these are by far the better ones. enjoy

I Won Big on Swagbucks.com. So can You!



So this is a perfect opportunity to tell everybody about an awesome site called swagbucks.com. This site is a search engine where you randomly win online money called "swag-bucks". Just to be clear, the search results are derived from google and ask.com, so it finds what you're looking for and on top of that you can constantly win. All you have to do is sign up. When you collect enough "swagbucks" you can go to their online store and redeem them for anything you want. And they have everything ranging from music, trading cards, comics, electronics, etc... They also have online sweepstakes for which you can "buy" entries and most of them are only 1 swag dollar.

Which brings me to my point. I entered a recent sweepstakes on swagbucks.com where the prize was two tickets to a Yanni concert plus two backstage passes. And guess what? I WON!!!! I couldn't believe it that I won something so awesome. My girlfriend and I attended the concert at the Nokia theater on tuesday jun 23.WOW. First off my seats were amazing they were center orchestra seats. I saw everything that happened on stage without the need for binoculars. The show was amazing without a doubt. I am a HUGE Yanni fan and it was so great to watch him live along with the new singers. The orchestra played quite a few
of his original pieces without singers and that was such a treat. The audience was %80 Armenian so there was a lot of cheering for Yanni's violinist, Samvel Yervinyan. After the show, it was time to go backstage. And little did we know that our passes were the highest lev
el of VIP.

WE and four other people were escorted by Yanni's Public Relations person to the Upper level of the Wachovia VIP lounge. And what made it better? We got to meet the singers before everyone else. All of the other backstage pass holders were downstairs and they had to wait. Plus there were 60 of them. The six of us upstairs waited and finally all of the singers came up and we met them. It was surreal. I, of course, acted completely dork-like and couldn't stop smiling, but hey who cares. For once, I was VIP. We only
got about ten minutes or so to talk and take pictures, because the PR people kept moving them along to meet time deadlines. Anyways here are my thoughts on each singer.
I'm the guy with curly hair, just incase you thought I wasn't
In order from left to right:

Chloe: What a voice on this girl. She can sing,dance and dominate the stage. Not only that, but she is very beautiful in person. More than you see in pictures. She seemed to be very relaxed when meeting everyone and doesn't mind talking to a fan.

Nathan Pacheco: Can you say one in a million. Yea! because that's who this is. Nathan has a phenomenal voice that will give you chills. I guarantee it. The best part is, he is a great person to match. He was so genuine and kind it's ridiculous. Both my girlfriend and I couldn't stop talking about just how great he was. I wish I could better describe it, but just trust me on this one.

Leslie Mills: Leslie is the delicate flower of the bunch. Her voice has a subtle sensuality that makes you want to keep listening to her. She was a little nervous when talking to us, but hey who wouldn't be. meeting random strangers who smile at you can make one nervous. She was great. She mentioned her favorite part of the tour was working with talented musicians.

Ender Thomas: The Latin firecracker. This guy can grab and hold the audience' attention. He is a showstopper. When he performs, you can't look away. Plus he has the cool accent. Very friendly person and is having fun on the tour. He loves performing and it really shows.

Overall. Amazing experience. Unforgettable. If any of the Yanni performers happen to read this, bravo! and feel free to contact me. ( I know it's a long-shot, but why not). Thanks to SwagBucks for the prize. And make sure to sign up for swagbucks.com. It's free and you can win stuff so why not. please use the link from this blog as it helps me out. Let me know if you win anything!

This has been your daily find from the search whiz! Have a very Yanni day and sign up for the blog while you're at it.

Your Own Library of Books. Free!

I am a book lover and love to read a good story, which is why I own hundreds of books all over the house. Well I realize that there are countless books, but alas only so much room in my house. So recently I have acquired an e-book reader which stores thousands of books that I can read on the same little screen. I have the sony prs-500 which is quite a fun device and makes reading a book very interesting. Of course the first thing I had to do was find a source for free e-books because I don't like paying ten bucks for a digital file that cost the publisher nothing. At first I found torrents, file-sharing , etc.. (basically illegal sources). These had current books, but there is the hassle of making sure it's virus free or if the file works. So I kept searching and I found a source with over 25,000 free e-books. Not only that, but you can download the files in 10 different formats for your device. This is completely legal because the books on this site are public domain meaning that they're old. But this includes all famous authors, playwrights, poets. It's called ManyBooks.net . Everything is categorized and easily searchable. They even have banned books. I found books that I would have never discovered if not for this site. So go ahead and download a book or a thousand. It's legal and a good read. Feel free to post some recommendations.

Never-Ending Online Games

So today my friends and I had a group yard sale in order to sell a bunch of stuff we had no use for anymore. The one conclusion I can come to is that most people are so cheap that even getting things for free costs too much. If anybody needs 50 free keyboards please let me know.

On to something completely irrelevant , I love wasting hours of time online playing online games. And there are a lot of them. A lot. A huge amounts of sites produce all these fun little games as time wasters for people who need something to do when there's nothing to do. Well, if you like these games or even if you don't, either way you will like this site. Kongregate.com is a site full of endless games. Some of the games are developed by the site, but most of them are collected from the tons of other game developer sites. All in one place. (this is where you hear angelic voices). If you want, you can make a free profile on the site and as you play more games you collect points by completing achievements. The points are completely pointless, I still haven't figured out what the heck they're for even though I have over 2000. I'm guessing their purpose is to make you feel like you're not REALLY wasting time. Take a visit to the site and then come back and post up your favorite games.

These two are my completely pointless favorites. I guarantee you that after playing these two games, you will want to play them again.

1) Doeo . just quickly drag your mouse through as many pink things as you can. Trust me you will find it very amusing.

2) Music catch 2. Simple as hell, but a great time waster with good music.

Search Engine Alternatives

Recently you may have seen commercials for Microsoft's version of a search engine called Bing.com. This supposedly is different and not just a search engine, but please check it out and search something and you will realize it IS just a search engine. I will admit maybe it has a cleaner look and nicely organized, but its just like google in every other sense. You can put a dress on a horse, but it's still a horse in the end, right?   

So being a devoted searcher myself, I have come across two very different methods of searching that very few people know about. These two search sites I am posting are completely different and will change the way you search. Trust me on this one. The first is EYEPLORER and works like the brain does. Whatever you search for brings up a bunch of branches related to the topic and leads you down different pathways. These groups of paths are divided into a colorful pie-chart with slices in categories such as : people, society, science, work, organization, etc.   From this chart of options you can continually drag your findings under your original search to deepen your search. You have to try it out to understand cause it gets quite intricate. 
Eyeplorer Overview in English by Philippe Boukobza.
Moving on

The second search method is something completely different and never before seen. In fact it was only released a month ago. Presenting WOLFRAM ALPHA (computational knowledge engine). This is like having an instant encyclopedia with a mind of its own. I know the name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but hey it works. You can type in practically anything from any category and it finds information about it from every angle possible. In a sense it creates an automatic "wikipedia" page for your search. Examples include: people, city, stock, dates, size, etc...  to take things to the next level it makes it possible for you to enter in mathematical and chemical formulas.  Being a biology major myself, I can't tell you how helpful this can be. I have a feeling this site is going to be HUGE once it catches on. I would bet money on it. 



So there you go. You are no longer confined to Google and Yahoo and there are plenty more out there. Check them out and let me know your opinions.

This is BETTER Than LasVegas

Gambling has always been the general source of how people can earn a lot for a little. You bet 20 dollars on a hand of blackjack and double it in a second. Bet five bucks on a roulette number and make 4oX that. Sounds great up front until you realize that you're down a few hundred and leave a loser. Well I'm telling you forget all that misery because it's made to see you lose. 

I found this site last night after I read about peoples claims of buying a Nintendo Wii for 50 dollars and a Canon T1I camera for a hundred. I was very skeptical, but decided to look.   Swoopo.com has to be the most genius online business(LIVE auction) I have ever seen. It's essentially an auction site and works like a real auction (Ebay does not). Here's how this goes. They have regular auctions and penny auctions depending on the item for sale. For each bid placed by a user, the price of the item goes up 15 cents for regular and a penny for the penny auction. There is a countdown clock for each item wherein there is a reset value of 10,15,or 20 seconds. In order to win, you have to have placed the last bid within that reset value without anybody else bidding. Sounds never ending, but it actually works. 
Here's the big catch, HUGE catch. ENORMOUS catch. You have to pre-purchase bids for 75 cents each. Still not too bad if you have self control and wallet control. BUT if you lose and have used up a hundred bids for a Wii, then you just threw away 75 dollars my friend. The winner will have paid for the bids, but ends up paying the final bid price and receiving his/her item for like 80% off retail. 

Why do I think this is genius. Because the site makes more than 5x-10x  what the item is worth. Example: A penny auction whose final winning bid ended at 10 dollars means that the winner buys the item for 10 plus cost of bids spent(0.75 ea). not bad because the item is probably worth over a hundred. BUT to achieve a 10 dollar price there were a thousand bids placed (0.75x1000= 750 DOLLARS!!!)  The site just made 750 to sell a hundred dollar item. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I think this is criminal? should it be illegal?  Hell no because everyone is knowingly paying out of their pockets. And if you can buy a  fifty inch HDTV for $200 bucks then sign me up. So far I have watched a ton of the auctions and here are my findings:  

  1. The site makes a lot of money. especially on the popular electronics. 
  2. Sometimes(due to low bidding), the site loses money, but only on smaller items
  3. Some winners end up paying more than the item is worth. (Very Stupid Bidding)
  4. I Realllllly wish I thought of Swoopo.com before they did. 
So in the end it balances out and everyone is happy . Except for the losers of the auction who end up spending $300 in bids and getting nothing.
