Ostankino Tower – The Tallest Abandoned Structure in The World

spanic — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:56:24 +0000

The Ostankino Tower – 550 m (1772 feet) was completed in 1967 to mark the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was the first free-standing structure to exceed 500 m (1640 ft) and held that title for nine years until it was surpassed by the CN Tower in Toronto in 1976. The Ostankino Tower is named after the Moscow district in which it is located.

It served telecommunication, observation and tourism purposes until it caught fire in August of 2000 when most of the tower’s interior was destroyed. Rebuilding the heavily damaged tower proved a long and costly task, so that both the tower and the idea of renovation have been abandoned ever since.

A Russian woman sets a new world record for the strongest “Intimate Muscles”

A 42-year-old Russian woman has snatched the world’s strongest vagina crown after using her “intimate muscles” to lift a 14kg glass ball.

Tatiata Kozhevnikova has apparently been training her privates for 15 years in order to support improbable weights. She explained to Life.ru: “After I had a child, my intimate muscles got unbelievably weak. I read books on Dao and learned that ancient women used to deal with this problem using wooden balls.

“I looked around, saw a Murano* glass ball and inserted it in my vagina. You insert one of the balls in your vagina, and it has a string attached to it with a little hook at the very end. You fix a second ball onto this hook.”

Kozhevnikova added for the benefit of fellow females hoping to improve their grip: “It’s enough to exercise your vagina five minutes a day, ladies, and in just one week you’ll be able to give yourself and your man unforgettable pleasure in bed.”

On the photo you can see new items which had minor malfunctions after production. To ensure that these items don’t appear in the second hand market , we are doing this:

The thing is that big companies produce these by 100’s a minute, so why spend time and cash on employees who will repair the product if you can just make some more instead. These items are destroyed so people don’t repair and resell them in the 2nd hand market since that might decrease the sales of new items (Less $$ for big companies).
