The Breast Milk Ice-cream



Local police officials said they have confiscated ice cream made with human breast milk from a shop in London.

The official said the ice cream, marketed as "Baby Gaga" and launched last week, is being tested with the full cooperation of The Icecreamists, the parlor marketing the dessert.

The company paid women who responded to an online ad to donate their breast milk and said all of its products meet the "highest and safest" of food standards.

The company said it has had a "huge response" to its "fresh take" on the world of ice cream. The Icecreamists said at the time that its "Baby Gaga" ice cream sold out as soon as it launched on Friday, but that women had signed up to donate more milk.

The oldest ... Wedding Cake!


This is the world's oldest wedding cake (Pic:Solent)

The icing’s gone brown and there’s a big crack in the side, but this wedding cake is in pretty good nick – considering it was baked 113 years ago.


Made in March 1898, this is the oldest complete wedding cake!

It was originally on display in the window of a family bakery, in Basingstoke, Hants. When the shop closed in 1964, the cake was stored in the family’s loft for almost a century, until it was donated to the town’s Willis Museum.

Some curious facts:

In 1974, scientists concluded that canned food found on a steamboat which sank in 1865 was still edible. And in 1938 a 100-year-old tin of veal was fed to a cat, with no ill effects.

3D pavement art breaks Guinness World Record - The bending picture


Don't look down or else you will fall flat on the pavement.
Only just seeing these men teetering on a rope you get dizzy but its all an incredible optical illusion created by the worlds largest 3D pavement painting.
It took Qi Xinghua, a master at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts, a month to finish Lion Door Valley.
This is the previous record holder:

And, this is the new record holder:
