Millionaire's house has 165 foot aquarium fence

Mehmet Ali Gökçeoglu is a Turkish business man with plenty of cash and some very interesting tastes. He  made the decision his fence looked to unwelcoming, boring, ugly, and ripped it out and had it replaced with a 165 foot long aquarium fence that encircles his entire yard. The aquarium is stocked with massive amounts of fish, a cleaning and filtration system, and provides a security wall that is beautiful, but probably not secure. The offset the reduction in security Mehmet installed cameras, added security features, and has the fence monitored around the clock. This is not Mehmet’s only venture into incredible aquariums. The wall is impressive, but the concept continues on into his home, which you can learn more about by visiting his Facebook page.

World’s Longest Mustache Measures over 4 Meters

Ram Singh Chauhan started growing his mustache in 1970, and hasn’t cut it since. Today it measures over 4.30 meters, and the proud Indian man from Rajasthan holds the Guinness record for World’s Longest Mustache.

The 58-year old says one of the secrets to impressive facial hair growth is starting early. ”As you grow old your hormones grow weak, so the speed slows down,” Ram says, but even now he still adds a few centimeters to his mustache every year. He stopped shaving his mustache back in 1970, after being inspired by a fellow mustache enthusiast from Rajasthan, resuming to trimming the split ends every once in a while. In the early years Chauhan and his wife Asha used to fight over his abnormally long facial hair, because he used to take a long time to wash and groom it, and people stared at them every time they went out. But as soon as her husband started getting recognition for his efforts, she began to respect his commitment, and says she now considers the mustache part of the family and shares his pride in it. Thanks to his long mustache, Ram Singh Chauhan appeared in big movies like 1983's ”Octopussy”, starring Roger Moore, as well as numerous Bollywood productions. He has also traveled around the world, to show off his amazing whiskers.

Ram’s mustache currently stands at over 4.30 meters, and taking proper care of it is no easy task. The Rajasthan state tourism official takes between one and two hours a day to clean and comb his precious facial hair. ”I massage it and oil it regularly and I wash it every 10 days which takes a long time,” he told BBC News. “My wife helps me.” Walking around with over 4 meters of hair hanging from your face is also pretty tough. When the mustache was shorter, Chauhan used to wrap it around his ears, but these days he has to roll both ends around his neck. But he knows there’s no gain without pain and he wouldn’t dream of getting rid of it. It’s what makes him special, and that makes everything worth it.
Ram Singh Chauhan’s biggest regret is that his son doesn’t share his passion for long facial hair. He doesn’t even have a tiny mustache.

Knok Nuis - the largest super-tanker in the world

Ship Knok Nuis is the largest super-tanker in the world. It has a capacity of 565,000 tons and it is 1,502 feet long. However, there was a desire to increase the load of the ship and make it a symbol of sea transportation as well as the largest ship ever built. So it was renovated. When it first appeared outside the shipyard, we could clearly see that its capacity increased by 87,000 tons and that its name was changed to Jahre Viking. However, this boat is extremely difficult to steer since it can enter only in a few ports in the world. It cannot pass through the Suez and Panama Canals. It was anchored in the Persian Gulf and it serves as a storage tank for crude oil. Current capacity is a whopping 647,955 tons or 4.1 million barrels of oil. To get the idea how big it is, we can say that one delivery of that tanker can keep the entire world economy running on fuel for two whole days! That's why many super-tankers are used in the world, but at the same time they are a huge risk to the environment.

Inside World's Biggest Cave

Into the depths of the earth: Cave network in the heart of Vietnamese jungle is so large its end is yet to be found

These are the breathtaking images which capture the hidden depths of the world's biggest cave passage, which still has left cavers still searching for its end.

Hidden in the depths of the Vietnamese jungle lies The Hang Son Doong, part of a network of over 150 caves.

Discovered by British cavers in 2009, the cave passage in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park was originally thought to be a modest 150 metres long and 200 feet high.

But these remarkable images - taken during two further expeditions of the caves - show the previously undiscovered depths of the magnificent cave passage, now the largest in the world.

At a mammoth 2.5 miles long, 330ft wide and almost 800ft high, Hang Son Doong also known as Mountain River Cave, is as high as 25 double decker buses.

And as shown in these amazing images taken by photographer Carsten Peter, there is even a jungle concealed deep inside the cave.

Carsten from Munich, Germany, took the images in 2010 when he joined British and German cavers during further expeditions of the site.

The purpose of the expedition was to make a complete exploration of Hang Son Doong and create a photographic record of the cave.

Cartsen, 52 said he spent up to two weeks at a time deep inside the caves, where he slept with just a sleeping bag and spent his time exploring and photographing the secret underground world.

He said: ‘We discovered new parts of the cave, it's a huge area so to find them and access them is very difficult.

‘Photographing caves of this size is a challenge, it needs a lot of preparation.

‘But it's a great feeling to photograph a newly discovered cave, for me I see the cave for the first time when I see the photographs.

‘I love to explore, I have been in some great caves in my lifetime and this is one of the most magnificent.

‘I've been a photographer and explorer for the last 35 years and I've visited so many caves, I've lost count.

‘But this is by far one of the most unique and unusual caves I have ever seen.

‘To see a cave so large it has a forest inside is superb - it was overwhelming.’

World's Largest Ice Caves


Ice caves are very different from normal caves. They have a strange feeling about them, as though they are not from this planet, and one has just temporarily stepped into their world when spelunking their depths.

There are many ice caves throughout the world, but the Eisriesenwelt Ice Caves in Austria are some of the largest known to man. They are located within the Tennengebirge Mountains near Salzburg and stretch for a remarkable 40 kilometers. Only a portion of the labyrinth is open to tourists but it's enough to get a taste of what the remaining network is like: a truly mesmerizing palate of Mother Nature's handicraft.
