Weighing in at nearly a ton and a half, and about 8 meters in length, the stingray took almost 3 hours to pull in by fisherman with nets.

Unbelievable Bat-mobile
Bob Dullham built this amazingly cool replica of the Batman Darknight Tumbler by himself.
“Bob Dullam is just like any other gear head. After work, he likes to retire to his garage, tinkering and fabricating, just like any other guy. And, just like the rest of us (at least when we were 13), he wants to drive the Batmobile. Well, Bob, you seem to be doing a good job with that.” So far Bob has invested $50-70k on his labor of cool. He developed it from movie stills and other released prop photos. This ride comes complete with giant wheels and an afterburner. Keep an eye out, because it may be pancaking police cars on the news soon. Currently this ride is not for sale… unless he needs the cash for his next project ”The Batpod, of course.” …..Click here to read more

Japanese Underwater Mail Box
There is no shortage of bizarre things in Japan. Off the coast of a small town in Wakayama prefecture, you can find an underwater mailbox - and it’s an actual collection point within Susami’s postal system. Each day the contents are collected from the box, presumably by a deep sea diving mailman, which reportedly contains as many as 200 pieces of mail at the busiest times. Susami is over a hundred kilometres away from Osaka in a not very densely populated but highly mountainous part of Kinki, Japan. …..Click here to read more
