It's an exceedingly select few who may live the kind of life that the rest of us fantasize about. While even homes on the market for a few million dollars are out of grasp for most of us, there are some people for whom a home of a few million dollars simply wouldn't do. The very wealthy have spent what amounts to the gross domestic product of some countries on their homes. And their elaborate nests have inspired a competition of sorts: 

What are the most expensive homes in the world? We settle the issue here, taking a glimpse at the top 10.

Weird World Sex Record

From an 82-year-old prostitute to a 500 people orgy and the world's gang bang record, meet some of the weirdest sex world records you may not see in the Guinness Book.

World's Largest Penis – 13.5 in


The official rank of the largest penis belongs to a man measured and documented by Dr. Robert Dickinson in the earlier part of the twentieth century. This record-holding penis was 13.5 inches (34 cm) in length and 6.25 inches (16 cm) in circumference. But the living owner of the world's biggest human penis is Jonah Falcon. Falcon's 13-5 inch member has been measured for a TV special, making him one of the few guys who can back up his bodily boasts.

World's Largest Vagina – 19 in

Cool Mentos-Coke-Powered Car


Surely you're hip to the Diet Coke and Mentos phenomenon of a few years ago. When an enterprising duo realized that the hard-coated candies interacted with the soda in an explosive way, an internet meme was instantly born. Over the last couple of years, though, interest in the parlor trick seemed to wane. Until now.

Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz, the two men who helped kick off the fun in the first place, are back, claiming a new record for the longest distance traveled in a car powered by Diet Coke and Mentos: 239 feet.

After dissecting the video, we believe there's a lot more power in the Diet Coke and Mentos recipe to be had, and there must be a better way to stop so much of the fuel from leaking out instead of providing forward thrust. Duct tape, perhaps?

The Largest Al Quran In The World

The Qolşärif Mosque (Kul-Sharif Mosque) located in Kazan Kremlin, was reputed to be, at the time of its construction, the largest mosque in Russia, and in Europe outside of Istanbul. Now they exhibit the largest Quran in the world there. 

The Quran al-Karim is largest Quran in the world made in Italy by the company ‘Reverra Ltd’ (2011). The weight of 800 kg, measurements 2 m x 1.5 m x 25 cm. It consists of 632 pages which have a weight of 250 g per page.

The cover is in-crusted with gold leaf, silver, malachite, jasper, turquoise, topaz, gold stone, etc. In May, they plan to transfer the Quran to the ancient city of Bolgar, Tatarstan, the place where Volga Bulgaria officially accepted Islam as a state religion 922.

I not really understand the need to create the largest Al Quran. What Muslim around the world need is to understand the meaning inside the Quran and practice it. Built the biggest Quran for just displaying purpose is not correct in my perspective.

Take a look!

Tupolev TU-160 - Supersonic White Swan


The Tupolev TU-160 (Russian: Туполев ТY-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Although several civil and military transport aircraft are larger in overall dimensions, the TU-160 is currently the world's largest combat aircraft, largest supersonic aircraft, and largest variable-sweep aircraft built. In addition, the TU-160 has the heaviest takeoff weight of any combat aircraft.


Entering service in 1987, the TU-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. The aircraft remains in limited production, with at least 16 aircraft currently in service with the Russian Air Force.

Top 10 Supercomputers

Supercomputers are used for highly calculation-intensive tasks such as problems including quantum physics, weather forecasting, climate research, molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), and physical simulations (such as simulation of airplanes in wind tunnels, simulation of the detonation of nuclear weapons, and research into nuclear fusion). Today the supercomputers range in the speed of the order of 200 teraflops and we listed top ten supercomputers with performance of the order of petaflops.

No. 10 Roadrunner: United States



The US's Super Computer built by one of the most famous computing system manufacturers The IBM. The Project was executed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. At this time the world's tenth fastest computer, the project expensed US$133-million. The Roadrunner is designed for a peak performance of 1.7 petaflops; achieving 1.026 on May 25, 2008 to become the world's first TOP500 Linpack sustained 1.0 petaflops system. Roadrunner being different from many existing supercomputers by the fact that it is a hybrid scheme design computer because it uses two different processor architectures.  The processors used in Road Runner's design scheme are; AMD Opteron 2210, operating at 1.8 GHz and IBM PowerXCell 8i, operating at 3.2 GHz. Cumulatively the Roadrunner is said to posses 122,400 cores. In November 2008, it reached a top performance of 1.456 petaflops, retaining its top spot in the TOP500 list.

Bagger 288 - World’s Largest Land Vehicle

To put it lightly, the Bagger 288 is a bucket-wheel excavator. But there's nothing light about a 13,500-ton mobile strip miner. The German creation is 721 feet long, 315 feet high, and can clear an area the size of a football field three stories deep, in just one day.


Bagger 288 (Excavator 288), built by the German company Krupp for the energy and mining firm Rheinbraun, is a bucket-wheel excavator or mobile strip mining machine. When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded NASA's Crawler-Transporter, used to carry the Space Shuttle and Apollo Saturn V launch vehicle, as the largest land vehicle in the world at 13,500 tons.


The Bagger 288 was built for the job of removing overburden prior to coal mining in Tagebau Hambach (stripmine Hambach), Germany. It can excavate 240,000 tons of coal or 240,000 cubic metres of overburden daily – the equivalent of a football field (soccer) dug to 30 m (98 ft) deep. The coal produced in one day fills 2400 coal wagons. The excavator is up to 220 m (721 ft) long and approximately 96 m (315 ft) high.

World Scariest Haunted House

The world's scariest haunted housed, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records is located in Japan inside Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park. Only a certain amount of people are let in at a time and it can take you up to 1 hour to find your way out of the maze. It was reported that you need to stand in line to get in. And while waiting, you can see people running out of the house, crying and screaming.

The Japanese love hunted houses and it's true. This haunted house apparently is a hospital and it is believe that they remade the exact building as the real hospital which is believed to be haunted. They made a superb walk through in the hospital with only charges of additional 500 Yen.

I doubt many people makes it all the way through.

Baldwin Street - Steepest Street In The World

Baldwin Street in a suburban part of New Zealand's southern city of Dunedin, is considered the world's steepest residential street. It is located in the suburb of North East Valley, 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) northeast of Dunedin's city center.

A short straight street a little under 350 metres (1,150 ft) long, Baldwin Street runs east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the side of Signal Hill towards Opoho, rising from 30 m (98 ft) above sea level at its junction with North Road to 100 m (330 ft) above sea level at the top, an average slope of slightly more than 1:5. 

Its lower reaches are only moderately steep, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete (200 m (660 ft) long), for ease of maintenance (bitumen, in either chip seal or asphalt, would flow down the slope on a warm day) and for safety in Dunedin's frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%). That is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 meter.
