Greatest Driving Road

Just have a look What they have created in a desert...

The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the greatest driving road in the world.

Stretching for 7.3 miles and climbing nearly 4,000 feet, it boasts 60 corners and a surface so smooth that it would flatter a racetrack.
It could easily be described as the eighth wonder of the world, but almost nothing is known about its creation.

The road is cut into the Jebel Hafeet mountain, the highest peak in the United Arab Emirates , the oil-rich Persian Gulf state.

The mountain spans the border with Oman and lies about 90 minutes' drive southeast of the thriving city of Dubai .

It looks down upon a dusty, desert landscape that belies a nation of astonishing wealth.

10 reasons why God created Eve

10. God was worried that Adam would frequently become lost in the garden because he would not ask for directions.

9. God knew that one day Adam would require someone to locate and hand him the remote.

8. God knew Adam would never go out and buy himself a new fig leaf when his wore out and would therefore need Eve to buy one for him.

7. God knew Adam would never be able to make a doctor's, dentist, or haircut appointment for himself.

6. God knew Adam would never remember which night to put the garbage on the curb.

5. God knew if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle the pain and discomfort of childbearing.

4. As the Keeper of the Garden, Adam would never remember where he left his tools.

3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.

2. As the Bible says, it is not good for man to be alone.

And the Number 1 reason why God created Eve...

1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched his head, and said, "I can do better than that!"

12 Memorable Moments in History of Olympics

1. 1936 Berlin


Jesse Owens fought hard to win a total of four gold medals (100m, 200m, long jump and 4 x 100m relay) with pure talent and heart, at an era when Nazi Germany asserted to establish their claim to Aryan superiority and African Americans were racially discriminated in the United States.

2. 1992 Barcelona


This is definitely one of the moving scenes in Olympic history. British athlete Derek Redmond won the first round of the 400m race with the fastest time and also easily won the quarterfinals. But in the semifinal, just 150 meters into the race, his right hamstring tore, causing him to fall to the ground. He gathered all the courage to stand up as the stretchers were being carried toward him. In tears and his face grimacing in terrible pain, he was determined to finish the lap and started to hobble down the track. His dad Jim Redmond barged past security to be united with his son, and assisted him until the finish line. And as crossed the finish line, they were given a rousing standing ovation by the 65000-strong crowd.. The fact that injuries had continually weighed down Redmond's career heightened the emotional impact of the situation. He pulled out from the 1988 Olympics because of a hamstring injury and by 1992, had already endured eight surgeries for different injuries including the most recent one on his Achilles tendon a couple of months earlier.

3. 1972 Munich


The 1972 games were stained by what has become known as the Munich Massacre. On September 5th, eight masked Palestinian terrorists belonging to the Black September organization barged into the quarters of Israeli athletes and coaches in the Olympic village. Two were immediately murdered for resisting while nine were hostaged. They were permitted to depart for an airfield where the nine hostages, five terrorists and a German policeman would perish in a failed rescue attempt. This was a period of history when the Olympic Games became a terrorists' target, setting the massive change for future games, where security would become a major concern.

4. 1988 Seoul


During the preliminary round, the world watched in shock when the American diver Greg Louganis hit his head on the springboard while attempting a reverse 2½ somersault pike. However, after getting temporary stitches, he was able to complete and topped the preliminaries. During the finals, he triumphed with the gold with near perfect scores, becoming the first man to win titles on both the springboard and platform diving events for two straight Olympics Games.

5. 1968 Mexico


On the eve of the long jump event, the 1964 Olympic champion Lynn Davies of Britain remarked that "it only needs Bob Beamon to hit the board once only and we all can go home." The next day, Beamon almost did not qualify for the finals after fouling the first two attempts; and he reduced his speed in order to make the qualifying distance on his third attempt. By the finals, he appeared to launch himself off the ground soaring through the air for like infinity, setting a world record that prevailed for 23 years.

6. 1924 Paris


Known as the "Flying Scotsman," Eric Liddell entered the 100m, 200m and 400m race, but the 100m heat was scheduled on a Sunday. Firm on his Christian convictions, he withdrew himself for the 100m race, his best event, and instead gave a sermon at a nearby Scottish church. On the day of the 400m race, he was given a piece of paper with a biblical quotation written on it, "Those who honor me I will honor" (1 Samuel 2:30). He won the race breaking the existing record with a time of 47.6 seconds. He also earned the 200m bronze.. His Olympic success was memorialized in the Oscar-winning movie "Chariots of Fire."

7. 1996 Atlanta


In1960 Rome Olympics, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) won the light heavyweight boxing division, and wore the gold medal for two days. But he would afterward cast it into the Ohio River because a "whites-only" restaurant refused him service. Shaking due to Parkinson's syndrome, he lit the Olympic torch that open the 1996 games; and was then awarded a medal by the US basketball team in replacement for his old one. It was an occasion of unbearable poignancy.

8. 2000 Sydney


For the Australians, it was without doubt a disappointing home Olympics, particularly in the pool. Cathy Freeman, the very first Aboriginal athlete, represented Australia's final last chance for glory. Being the 400m race favorite, she did not fall short of their expectations; she won gold and ran her victory lap waving both the Australian and the Aboriginal flags.

9. 1960 Rome


Wilma Rudolph,United States athlete, was the first woman to be awarded three gold medals in track and field in one Olympic Games (100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay). The incredible thing about her accomplishment was the fact that she contracted polio as a child, and only was only able to walk normally at age seven.

10. 1976 Montreal


Nadia Comaneci, a 14-year-old Romanian gymnast, would become the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 on the uneven bars. But the scoreboards, which were equipped only to report a maximum score of 9.9, displayed the perfect score as 1.0. Over the course of the Games, she would receive six more perfect 10s, earning her three golds (the all-around, uneven bars and balance beam).

11. 1948 London


Dutch trackster Fanny Blankers-Koen was predicted to do well in the 1940 Helsinki Games, which did not pushed through owing to World War II outbreak, abruptly disrupting her thriving career. She would make a comeback in the London Olympics a 30-year-old mother and earned four golds (100m, 200m, 4 x 100m relay and 80m hurdles). She was dubbed "the Flying Housewife" for her outstanding performance.

12. 1908 London


Dorando Pietri, Italian waiter, trained seriously for the marathon. But during the race, he misjudged his speed and started to suffer the effects of thirst and extreme fatigue with less than two kilometers remaining. He would eventually pass out five times in the stadium before the umpires aided him over the final few meters to finish in first place.. He was subsequently disqualified when the American team complained against the assistance he got. Queen Alexandra would however award him with a gilded silver cup as consolation.

10 People with Unbelievable Medical Conditions

The Woman Who has 200 Orgasms every day


UK's Sarah Carmen, 24, is a 200-a-day orgasm girl who gets good, good, GOOD vibrations from almost anything. She suffers from Permanent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), which increases blood flow to the sex organs. "Sometimes I have so much sex to try to calm myself down I get bored of it. And men I sleep with don't seem to make as much effort because I climax so easily."

She believes her condition was brought on by the pills. "Within a few weeks I just began to get more and more aroused more and more of the time and I just kept having endless orgasms. It started off in bed where sex sessions would last for hours and my boyfriend would be stunned at how many times I would orgasm. Then it would happen after sex. I'd be thinking about what we'd done in bed and I'd start feeling a bit flushed, then I'd become aroused and climax. In six months I was having 150 orgasms a day—and it has been as many as 200."

She and her boyfriend split— and new partners struggle to keep up with her sex demands. "Often, I'll want to wear myself out by having as many orgasms as I can so they stop and I can get some peace," she said.

The Man Who Can't Get Fat


Mr Perry, 59, can eat whatever he likes - including unlimited pies, burgers and desserts - and never get fat. He cannot put on weight because of a condition called lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat.

He used to be a chubby child, but at age 12 the fat dropped off "almost over night". He initially tried to eat more to gain weight, but it had no effect. Mr Perry, of Ilford in Essex, endured a decade of tests before the illness was diagnosed. It finally emerged that his body produces six times the normal level of insulin. Doctors have admitted that the condition would be a "slimmer's dream".

The Man Who Doesn't Feel Cold


Dutchman Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, is the man that swam under ice, and stood in bins filled with ice. He climbed the Mt. Blanc in shorts in the icy cold, harvested world records and always stands for new challenges.

Scientists can't really explain it, but the 48-year-old Dutchman is able to withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to the average person.

The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep: stayed awake 24 hours a day for years


Rhett Lamb is often cranky like any other 3-year-old toddler, but there's one thing that makes him completely different: he has a rare medical condition in which he can't sleep a wink.

Rhett is awake nearly 24 hours a day, and his condition has baffled his parents and doctors for years. They took clock shifts watching his every sleep-deprived mood to determine what ailed the young boy.

After a number of conflicting opinions, Shannon and David Lamb finally learned what was wrong with their child: Doctors diagnosed Rhett with an extremely rare condition called chiari malformation.

"The brain literally is squeezed into the spinal column. What happens is you get compression, squeezing, strangulating of the brain stem, which has all the vital functions that control sleep, speech, our cranial nerves, our circulatory system, even our breathing system," Savard said.

The Girl Who is Allergic to Water


Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water. Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash.

Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14. She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.

The Woman Who Can't Forget


That's the story of AJ, an extraordinary 40-year-old married woman who remembers everything.

McGaugh and fellow UCI researchers Larry Cahill and Elizabeth Parker have been studying the extraordinary case of a person who has "nonstop, uncontrollable and automatic" memory of her personal history and countless public events. If you randomly pick a date from the past 25 years and ask her about it, she'll usually provide elaborate, verifiable details about what happened to her that day and if there were any significant news events on topics that interested her. She usually also recalls what day of the week it was and what the weather was like.

The 40-year-old woman, who was given the code name AJ to protect her privacy, is so unusual that UCI coined a name for her condition in a recent issue of the journal Neurocase: hyperthymestic syndrome.

The Girl Who Eats Only Tic Tacs


Meet Natalie Cooper, a 17-year-old teenager who has a mystery illness that makes her sick every time she eats anything. Well, almost anything. She can eat one thing that doesn't make her sick: Tic tac mint!

For reasons that doctors are unable to explain, Tic tacs are the only thing she can stomach, meaning she has to get the rest of her sustenance from a specially formulated feed through a tube.

The Musician Who Can't Stop Hiccupping


Chris Sands, 24, from Lincoln, hiccups as often as every two seconds - and sometimes even when he is asleep. He has tried a variety of cures, including hypnosis and yoga, but nothing has worked. Mr Sands thinks his problem stems from an acid reflux condition caused by a damaged valve in his stomach. "If the acid levels are severe enough they are going to do keyhole surgery and grab part of my stomach and wrap it around the valve to tighten it," he said.

Mr Sands, who is a backing singer in the group Ebullient, said the condition has hampered his career as he has only been able to perform four times. In the next couple of weeks --as of the day of the report--, doctors at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre will put a tube into his stomach to monitor acid levels and decide if keyhole surgery is possible.

The Girl That Collapses Every Time She Laughs

Kay Underwood, 20, has cataplexy, which means that almost any sort of strong emotion triggers a dramatic weakening of her muscles. Exhilaration, anger, fear, surprise, awe and even embarrassment can also cause sufferers to suddenly collapse on the spot.

Kay, of Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire (UK), who was diagnosed with the condition five years ago, once collapsed more than 40 times in a single day. She said: "People find it very odd when it happens, and it isn't always easy to cope with strangers' reactions. "

Like most cataplexy sufferers, Ms Underwood is also battling narcolepsy - a condition that makes her drop off to sleep without warning. Narcolepsy affects around 30,000 people in the UK and about 70 per cent of them also have cataplexy.

The Woman Who is Allergic to Modern Technology


For most people talking on a mobile phone, cooking dinner in the microwave or driving in a car is simply part of modern living in 21st century Britain. But completing any such tasks is impossible for Debbie Bird - because she is allergic to Cell Phones and Microwaves.

The 39-year-old is so sensitive to the electromagnetic field (emf) or 'smog' created by computers, mobile phones, microwave ovens and even some cars, that she develops a painful skin rash and her eyelids swell to three times their size if she goes near them. As a consequence, Mrs Bird, a health spa manager, has transformed her home into an EMF-free zone to try and stay healthy. 'I can no longer do things that I used to take for granted,' Mrs Bird said. "My day-to-day life has been seriously affected by EMF"..
