Largest Ant in The World

largest ant in the world

Did u seen the largest ant in the world before this? It's Male driver ants, sometimes known as "sausage flies" due to their bloated, sausage-like abdomens, are the largest known ants, and were originally believed to be members of a different species. Males leave the colony soon after hatching, but are drawn to the scent trail left by a column of siafu once it reaches sexual maturity. When a colony of driver ants encounters a male, they tear its wings off and carry it back to the nest to be mated with the queen.

The army ant genus Dorylus, also known as driver ants, safari ants, or siafu, is found primarily in central and east Africa, although the range also extends to tropical Asia. Unlike the New World members of the subfamily Ecitoninae, members of this genus do form temporary anthills lasting from a few days up to three months. Each colony can contain over 20 million individuals. As with their New World counterparts, there is a soldier class among the workers, which is larger, with a very large head and pincer-like mandibles. They are capable of stinging, but very rarely do so, relying instead on their powerful shearing jaws.

The World's Oldest Father -21st Child At Age Of 90

The world's oldest father has done it again, fathering a child for at least the 21st time, at the age of 90. Isn't it Unbelievable News?

Indian farmer Nanu Ram Jogi, who is married to his fourth wife, boasts he does not want to stop, and plans to continue producing children until he is 100. But his fourth wife Saburi says she has had enough after delivering 13 children.

Nanu Ram Jogi is revered by the menfolk of Paanchimli village in the western desert state of Rajasthan where the nonagenarian lives with 109 members of his extended family, including 20 grandchildren.

Mr. Jogi admits he is not certain how many children his series of four wives have borne him - but counts at least 12 sons and nine daughters and 20 grandchildren.

Proud father: Nanu Ram Jogi with his youngest child, two-week-old Girija Rajkumari

Two-week-old daughter Girija Rajkumari is the latest addition to the proud father's family. "Women love me," Jogi said. "I want to have more children. I can survive another few decades and want to have children till I am 100 - then maybe I will stop."

The world's oldest father Mr. Jogi attributes his vitality to "the miracle of camel milk" and a carnivorous diet of lamb, rabbit and chicken.

Mr Jogi fathered his eldest daughter, Sita Devi, in 1943. His latest wife, Saburi, who has given him seven children, was first married to his eldest son Shiv Lal, who died 10 years ago.

Speaking from the family home in a remote village in Rajasthan, she said:"At first I didn't want to stay here after my husband died. But Nanu promised to look after me and now we have seven children."

Jogi's children and grandchildren live in six houses attached to his two-storey family home. He said: "I have a perfect life - with so many children and grandchildren all around me, it keeps me young."

He has had to sell patches of farmland to take care of his ever-expanding family but now a number of his children have become bread-winners.

Car Accidents in Google Street View

Last week Google updated their Street View coverage to include Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland and Tucson – bringing the total number of Street View cities up to 15.

So far the most dramatic discovery in these new images has been made in Arizona and Phoenix where the Google Street View Van come across some little serious car accidents involving few prime cars.

Dramatically, the speed of the impact has actually flipped the Range Rover right over onto its roof. Fortunately however it doesn’t look like there were any serious injuries on this occasion, as by the time the Google Street View Van approaches a policeman is already on scene, but there doesn’t appear to be an ambulance around anywhere.

Guinness Rishi getting tattoos of all national flags on his body

The 67-year-old Guinness Rishi wants to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by tattooing the flags of all the countries in the world on his body. He is planning to cover himself in 220 different banners in his quest to become a walking global flag-pole.

Already sporting six tattoos, (Union Jack, Indian, USA, Cyprus, Indian Congress Party, Canada) on his face, Guinness, who changed his name in honor of the famous record book, believes that he will be finished in three years.

He plans to cover his head and face with the most important one-inch flags before inking from his neck down in alphabetical order.


"I am tattooing my entire body including my private parts, but I am not sure which flag I will be sticking there. In the first phase, I believe that I can put 60 tattoos on head and then we will start working on my body. People consider me an extraordinary person, not an ordinary person," he said.

An obsessive record breaker, Guinness already holds four certified world bests and feels that this will be a crowning glory for India.

Over the course of three years, Guinness’ tattoos will set him back more than $20 000, which he believes is a small price to pay for his eventual achievement.

Guinness also built the tallest sugar cube tower in the world, which stood at 64 inches.

Baby Throwing - A Horrible Ritual in India

These horrible pictures show terrified toddlers being thrown from a roof before plummeting 15metres onto a bed sheet below. The youngsters, who appear to be aged around two, can be heard screaming as they are dangled in the air before being dropped.

This particular ritual took place in the village of Harangal, Parbhani, in western India's Maharashtra.

Devotees at a shrine in Harangal village of Parbhani in western India's Maharashtra dangle the frightened looking baby 50 feet above the cloth sheet below

Then, arms and legs splayed out, the screaming baby is dropped

Landing safely on the sheet below

Hundreds of people turned out for the annual event, which is thought to have been followed by Hindus and Muslims for nearly 700 years in the belief the fall ensures good health and prosperity for their families. After the child lands and bounces on the bed sheet, held taught by a group of around 14 men, he or she is then quickly passed through the crowd to their mothers.

Another ritual was taking place on the same day in Sholapur, about 280 miles south of Mumbai.

It led to rights activist lashing out at officials who allowed the hundreds of infants to be dropped from the roof of the Baba Umer Durga mosque.

Local officials told television news stations Friday that there had been no reports of injuries. With high child mortality rates, especially in India's rural areas, many people resort to rituals which they believe can ensure their children's health.

Devotees dangle another baby over the edge of the shrine during the ritual, which has been taking place for 700 years

It's not just the drop that's dangerous: The babies are carried to the top of the shrine in bundles tied to the backs of dangling devotees

This shows the complete failure of the local administration to prevent this practice and to create awareness about children's health,' said Ranjana Kumari, a civil rights activist in New Delhi.

'It is also a reflection of the lack of access to health services, that forces people to behave in this irrational manner'.

India's National Commission for Protection of Child's Rights issued a notice Thursday to the local administration in Sholapur and has begun investigations into the practice.

World's Longest Wedding Dress - Over 2km..!!

A Chinese bride hopes to enter the record books after getting married in an astonishing 1.4 mile-long wedding dress. It took guests more than three hours to unroll Lin Rong's gown, complete with 9,999 silk red roses.

And the groom, Zhao Peng, was just as excited about his bride making history, as he was about the nuptials.

'Both the length of the dress and the number silk roses pinned on the wedding dress can make history,' the 28-year-old railway worker from northeast Jilin province said. Mr Zhao was inspired after seeing a story on the previous record holder in Romania, where the dress measured just over 0.9 miles. He has sent an application to Guinness World Records including a video of his wedding to his 25-year-old school teacher sweetheart.

'I do not want a cliche wedding parade or banquet,' Mr Zhao said

Long walk down the aisle: An aerial view shows the length of the train of the wedding dress, which took three months to finish

But even so, his family was initially unimpressed at the far from frugal 40,000-yuan (£3,508) price tag.'It is a waste of money in my opinion,' his mother said. 'Though I understand that he wants to show his love on the big day.'

Ms Rong laughed and cried at the romantic gesture.

Mr Zhao bought the materials and had relatives help make the wedding dress, which took three months to finish.

Amazing Hanging Temple

Hanging Monastery stands at the foot of Mt. Hengshan, 5 kilometers (3 miles) south of Hunyuan County, and 65 kilometers (40 miles) from downtown Datong City. Since it hangs on the west cliff of Jinxia Gorge more than 50 meters above the ground, it is called Hanging Monastery. Hanging Monastery, built in 491, has survived more than 1400 years. The extant monastery was largely rebuilt and maintained in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

How could a building like this withstand the winds and storms of so many years? Hanging Monastery is an architectural wonder. A unique mechanical theory was applied to building the framework. Crossbeams were half-inserted into the rock as the foundation, while the rock in back became its support. Seen from below, Hanging Monastery appears to be a tumble-down castle in the air. Inside, Hanging Monastery provides the same scene as other temples.

Construction experts from countries including Britain, Germany, and Italy, come to see the monastery. In their words, Hanging Monastery, which mixes mechanics, aesthetics, and Buddhism, is rare. The monastery and everything it symbolizes embodies a great cultural achievement of Chinese people. The second attraction of Hanging Monastery is that it includes Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Inside the monastery, the sculptures of Sakyamuni, Confucius and Laotzu appear together, which is unusual. There are 40 halls and cabinets, which contain about 80 sculptures made of copper, iron, terracotta, and stone. The features are vividly carved.

Statue Inside the Temple

Why build a monastery like this? Location is the first reason; building a monastery on the cliff could shield it from floods. In addition, the mountain peak protects it from rain and snow; and the mountain around it also diminishes damage from long-time sunshine. The second reason is that the builders followed a principle in Taoism: no noises, including those from rooster crowing and dog baying; so from the upper ground, all noises drop away.

Above photograph was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day. The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.

The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert. Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris and Barcelona. And that's still daylight in Dublin, London, Lisbon and Madrid. The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; Below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa, are the Cape Verde Islands.

Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during day time and night time. To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.

Building Collapsed In Shanghai

At around 5:30am on June 27 an unoccupied building still under construction at Lianhuanan Road in the Minhang district of Shanghai city toppled over. One worker was killed. According to information, a 70 meter section of the flood prevention wall in nearby Dianpu River and that may have something to do with this building collapse.

But the high-resolution photos says that something is unbelievable and really amazing. Isn't it Looking Strange..!!!

Akrit Jaswal - The 7 year old surgeon, Child Prodigy

Akrit Jaswal is an Indian adolescent who attended medical school, and yet in his native country of India, he is widely known as a physician. Akrit (born April 23, 1993) is a Hindu Rajput of Jaswal clan from Punjab.

According to his mother Raksha Kumari Jaswal, Akrit was an early starter, skipped the toddler stage and started walking. When he was very young, instead of starting with crawling, he skipped right to learning how to walk. At the age of 10 months, he said his first words. By age 4 he was reading Shakespeare. When he was 7, he met an 8-year-old girl whose fingers had been burnt as a baby and fused together. He performed an operation to separate her fingers - that same year. Akrit developed a passion for science and anatomy at an early age. Doctors at local hospitals took notice and started allowing him to observe surgeries when he was 6 years old. Inspired by what he saw, Akrit read everything he could on the topic. When an impoverished family heard about his amazing abilities, they asked if he would operate on their daughter for free. Her surgery was a celebrated success.

After the surgery, Akrit was hailed as a medical genius in India. Neighbors and strangers flocked to him for advice and treatment. At age 11, Akrit was admitted to a Punjab University. He's the youngest student ever to attend an Indian university. That same year, he was also invited to London's famed Imperial College to exchange ideas with scientists on the cutting edge of medical research. Akrit says he has millions of medical ideas, but he's currently focused on developing a cure for cancer. "I've developed a concept called oral gene therapy on the basis of my research and my theories", he says, "I'm quite dedicated towards working on this mechanism."

Growing up, Akrit says he used to see cancer patients lying on the side of the road because they couldn't afford treatment or hospitals had no space for them. Now, he wants to use his intellect to ease their suffering. "[I've been] going to hospitals since the age of 6, so I have seen firsthand people suffering from pain," he says. "I get very sad, and so that's the main motive of my passion about medicine, my passion about cancer." Currently, Akrit is working toward a bachelor's degree in zoology, botany and chemistry. Someday, he hopes to continue his studies at Harvard University.

He became India's youngest university student and is currently studying for a BSC in a Punjab University, Chandigarh, India. He possesses books such as Gray's Anatomy, and textbooks on surgery, anaesthesia, anatomy, physiology, cancer, and others. Akrit claims to have mastered them with his daily habit of studying for an hour. He has an estimated IQ of 146 from a single test.

Akrit Jaswal is considered to be a reincarnation in his local village. He is consulted by neighbors and people from surrounding areas regarding ailments, prescriptions and courses of treatments. He claims to have been working on a cure for cancer for several years, based on theories of oral gene therapy. However, his work towards a cure for cancer was criticized by British doctors and researchers since they claim his understanding on the topic was vague.
