However, there were also some complaints that were really funny and hilarious. It will be laughing spree for you hearing some of them. Some of the most funny and weird complaints are:

#1. Newlywed Couple:

A Newlywed couples complaints against the cruise management that they didn’t offer them any special treatment. They were travelling on a two-week cruise in the Caribbean to celebrate their honeymoon. He expected that the staff should decorate their cabin in honeymoon style. They must offer them free of cost champagne, strawberries and flowers.

The travel agency responded that it is not possible for them to put Gary Barlow on every cruise.

#3. Hot Alaska:

This complaint is so hilarious that you will surely get teary on your eyes laughing. A man took a summer cruise around Alaska. He complained to the cruising authorities that Alaska’s weather wasn’t hot enough. He expected that all the cruises are meant to be hot. His complaint was that they didn’t warn him that Alaska will be so cold. He didn’t bring warm clothes with him. He also added that he expected to get a good tan by Alaska’s sunny days.

#4. Noisy Sea:

A lady was travelling on a holiday cruise around the Mediterranean region. She complained to the customer service representatives that she was not able to get good night sleep during the trip.

Seven of the most bizarre alcoholic drinks in the world

During the time, people managed to produce alcohol from practically every organic substance. There is almost no fruit that can´t be distilled but some people went too far. Some of them put bizarre taste amplifiers to the drinks. Some say the reason is to give the drink and the drinker special powers and some are just a marketing stunt.  Here is a list of some of the drinks that it is really hard to look at, let alone drink them.

1 Wine with snakes, lizards and scorpions

This drink is for the brave ones. For the ones who hate that wine critics and their sophisticated sense of taste. If you like the feeling of snakes, lizards and scorpions touching your teeth and tongue while drinking wine, this one is the best choice for you.

2 Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer

Beer with taste is becoming more and more popular. Most people like the subtle taste of lemon or orange in their favorite alcoholic sparkling refreshment. One family in Illinois decided to make one that tastes like your favorite food. What can possible be better than making a pizza, grinding it, mixing with hot water and adding standard ingredients for beer. After only two weeks you get yourself the weirdest beer ever. I chose the pizza beer as the strangest one, but you should know that Americans use similar process to create a variety of flavors. Some of them are: doughnut beer, bacon beer, chocolate beer, maple syrup beer…

3 Rice wine with young mice

Even though Americans mix their drinks with everyday dishes, the Chines do it by mixing every day animals. What is better than drinking the rice wine, which allegedly has some healing powers, than adding just born mice in it? It also has a really catchy name: Baby mouse wine. Forget the rice and its healing power, the mice are the things you want in you beverage.

4 Wine with eel

Eels from the river Mekong are considered to be the best to put in the wine. But, it can´t be just any wine. In Laos, there is a special mix of spices, roots and of course eels that makes the best wine. Well, that is what the creators are saying.

5 Seagull´s wine

Although some of the drinks mentioned before are really strange, this one is probable the strangest when it comes to the process of making it. If you thought that the pizza beer was strange, think again. The Inuit people make their special wine from seagulls. The process is simple; you catch a seagull, kill it and jam it whole in a bottle. You leave the bottle in the sun to ferment and that is it, you got yourself a seagull´s wine. There are no pictures of it on the Internet to show you and you should consider yourself lucky for that.

6 Vodka from milk

It is not just any milk, it is the one from a mare. You don´t usually think about milk when you are brainstorming about horses, but it seems that someone did, and decided to make a vodka from it. It has a beautiful white color but I can´t imagine the test of that stale milk that was used in making it.

7 Three penis wine

Yes, the Chinese created one more special drink. They are consuming the “special” organs from many animals to gain great sexual power. I don´t really know how they make such a great wine, and honestly, don´t want to think about it much. I just know that I won´t be searching for any strange Chinese food for quite some time.

Man claims to be in a “blacked out state” after stabbing a lover

On June 20 police got a call from a man in a block at the Mounds View, Minn, that he got stabbed and was dying. After arriving at the scene police found a naked man laying in the grass in front of the building. The man, later identified as Gooler from Minneapolis, wasn´t the one that called the police. After regaining consciousness, Gooler told the police he fell from the third floor balcony. When the police entered the apartment, belonging to the mentioned balcony, they found the stabbed victim. They found a lot of blood and a bloody knife and scissors on the floor of the living room.

At the interrogation Gooler told the police that he meet the victim on a gay phone chat line. They meet once on June 17 and again on June 20. Gooler said that they drank a lot of vodka and that he blacked out and doesn´t remember what happened until he was awaken by the police in front of the building.

A witness told the police that she saw the victim and Gooler running out from the apartment. The victim was yelling: “Help, help, he stabbed me. Help, I am dying”. The witness also stated that she saw Gooler running behind the victim and yelling: “He stabbed me first”.

The doctors said that Gooler only sustained injuries from the fall and none from a sharp object that can be considered a stabbing wound.

The police discovered that Gooler was already sentenced to 18 months in prison for threatening someone with a knife. He also claimed to be in a blacked out state then.

Nik Wallenda walks across Grand Canyon using a high-wire, a balancing pole and no safety measures

This man knows no fear! Nik Wallenda managed to walk over the Grand Canyon on a 2-inch steel cable. The Sunday was a great day for self-named “King of the high wire”, when he managed to fulfill his dream of walking over the Grand Canyon with no protection. The walk was 1.400 feet long and it took exactly 22 minutes and 54 seconds. All the time during the walk he could be heard praying and repeating “Thank you, Jesus.”

Except being a great achievement from anyone´s point of view it was a great personal accomplishment for Nik. It is because while his grandfather tried to walk over the high wire in Puerto Rico, he slipped, fell and died.

The “Grand Canyon” walk was broadcasted and watched live in more than 217 countries. Viewers were able to see the walk from Nik´s point of view through the camera placed on his body.

When reaching the other side he kissed the ground and said that the walk was unbelievable. He said that his arms ache, and even though he had to stop twice it was all worth it. He described the view as “breathtaking”.

When asked where he gets the strength and inspiration, he talks about his Christian faith. It is something that gives him peace and the topic he addresses in his new book called “Balance”

For his next stunt, he is planning to walk between new York´s Chrysler Building and Empire State Building. Let´s hope he manages to fulfill his dream safely.

The sex scandal from 1980´s is finally closed

The story about Jesse Friedman and his father Arnold is finally closed. They were both convicted after a 1980´s sex scandal. It is interesting that even after the case was closed and Arnold died, the public was still interested in the story. After an Oscar nominated documentary that was based on the story there was a three-year review of the case. Even then some believed that prosecutors won´t be able to make a fair review of their own work and that the decision can´t be trusted.   

During the re-investigation process the half-dozen prosecutors investigated the theory that police used illegal investigating techniques, with some of them being hypnotism and public pressures. It was also questionable if the Friedman´s confession was pressured by the judge and prosecutors. At least 35 children related to the case were interviewed by a team of 12 detectives in a short time period. There was no way to influence the children in any way, and every detective was in charge on only one part of the investigation. The parents also believe that Friedman and his father were responsible for the abuse and emotional problems of their children.

The reinvestigation confirmed that the original decision was the right one.

After all that time, the story can be finally finished, for both Friedman and the public. Now it is clear that he was responsible for the abuse and fairly sentenced to jail. Even though he was released in 2001, the real truth wasn´t clear until now.

Six ways the Star trek is liying to us

One of the reasons why sci-fi movies are so popular is definitely because of some special effects. Star trek is one of the series that many other looked up to, and took their ideas as base for their stories. Almost every sci-fi movie takes place in space and has at least one important thing that has nothing to do with real life physics. If the sci-fi movies would follow the rules that physics has set for us, they would be boring. You ask why? Here are the answers…

1.There are no explosions in space

Although this statement may not be generally true, it is true when it comes to the spaceship explosions we are used to. Just like on Earth, explosion in space can happen if there is enough oxygen. The ship can explode from the inside, but there would be no fire once it reaches space. In reality there would be only one bright flash and broken parts of the ship. Every Star trek battle scene features some kind of explosion, either the exploding torpedo or part of the hull after being hit by a phaser.

2 There is no sound in space

Universe is one big vacuum, and there can be no sound in vacuum. Sound is a wave that travels through space by vibrating the molecules on its way. There are no free molecules in universe so the sound can´t be transferred. Forget about all that fancy sounds of explosions, flybys, engine sounds, phasers… there can be none of that.

3 There is no aerodynamics in space

There were some people that claimed that Federation ships are designed in the way in which they are to be fast, and that the Borg cube is spending too much energy because of its flat surface. As I said before, the universe is a vacuum, and there are no particles that could slow the ship down on its voyage between the stars.

4 No planet is the same

Most of the M class (suitable for human life) planets look like Earth. The reason for that is that the show is filmed on Earth. Because of the limited budget, you can see familiar plants, animals, even geographical features from our planet that should be hundreds of light years away. The alien planets also always have the same gravity as earth, the same temperature and the same clouds…

5 No alien is the same

Most of the aliens in Star trek look the same with exception of just one or two subtle differences (like spots, ears or wrinkles). Even the ones that are obviously not humans (Klingons, Cardasians, Ferengis) have two legs, two hands, one head… you see where I am going. But, the Star trek creators are as smart as they are budget-limited. They created one episode in Star Trek: The next generation series where it is all explained. There was an ancient species (possibly even the first one ever) that spread its genetic material trough the galaxies and made us all like them. It is an ingenious explanation… isn´t it?

6 The space is really, really big

In Star trek: Deep space nine; there are many great battle scenes. The tactics that are used are the same ones used on Earth – which makes no sense at all. If there is a big fleet of starships in front of you, you don´t need to try to go through them, you can always go above or underneath. The same is true for avoiding asteroid belts. They are just as the name says, in the shape of a belt. It is easy to avoid them just like the enemy fleet. But of course, where is the fun in that?

Who would win the movie-monster fight?

There are a lot of movie monster out there. During the years many legends and stories featuring some sort of a supernatural being found its way to the big screen. They are all unique in some way and again similar in the other. The question is which monster is the strongest of all. What if all classic movie monsters would meet in the same place? Who would win? Who would get the best movie monster title? Let´s find out.

Firstly, we are going to analyze every classic monster separately before we clash them with each other.

The zombies

Probable the best known movie monsters are the zombies. According to IMDB there are 640 movies that have zombies as their main villains. It would be nearly impossible or just very complicated, to analyze all of them, so I will stick to the basics. The zombies are mostly the dead that managed to come back to life. They are slow, stupid, and easily killed but their advantage is in the numbers. There are always more zombies than humans because all that is needed to become one of them is a bite or a scratch.

The vampires

The most popular movie monsters are the vampires. There are more than three times less vampire movies than there are zombies, but the first managed to attract much more people to the theaters. When it comes to the looks, we can´t really say if the vampires should be considered ugly or attractive. The first movies showed them as ugly, blood sucking monster, but then came Interview with the vampire, The vampire diaries, True blood and the one and only Twilight. But, the important thing is not how they look but what they can do. Just like the zombies, the vampires are also dead. They don´t look like that because they feed on the human or animal blood to keep them fresh. They are as smart as humans, but much stronger. Some of them can even fly, read minds, move objects with their thoughts… To kill them you should use a wooden stake and aim for their heart.

The Ghosts

The next on the list are the ghosts. There are one hundred more vampire movies, which puts the ghost at the third place of this list. Like the other two, they are also dead. Most of them are not solid, but are capable of moving the objects or touching people. They can pass through walls, fly, disappear… There is no real way of killing them, since they are not reanimated in any way. They just died and decided to stick around.

The werewolves

With six times less movies than zombies, the werewolves are the last movie monsters I will analyze before we put them against each other. Almost any decent, modern vampire movie, features some kind of a werewolf as an enemy to the vampire. They are not dead for a change, and are actually normal humans. They just turn to wolfs or bear-like creatures on a full moon. Silver is good for killing them, but mostly any regular weapon will kill them at some point.

That is it. Now we have some general idea about who is who and what are their abilities. Now let´s put them against each other.

The fight

Let´s start with the werewolves. They never managed to defeat the vampires, wouldn´t have a chance against ghost and let´s be honest; they wouldn´t be able to destroy the zombies, without turning into one among them. It may seem as a fair fight because both sides are not capable of using any weapons, only their hands and teeth. The werewolves may be stronger and faster, but as I said, all of them would become infected. And there is that one big flaw with our human-wolfs; they are wolfs just for a day or two, most of the time they are just regular humans.

The next are the vampires. So, they were always capable of defeating or enslaving the werewolves. It is not that surprising because of the only one day being a wolf rule. The werewolf bite is deadly to vampires so they have some change of a fair fight, but at the end, vampires would definitely win… as always. The vampires would have no chance against the ghosts. They would probable manage to avoid the zombies at the beginning and easily kill some of them. But at the end there would be no more humans since they would lose the war against the zombies. The vampires would run out of food and ultimately be destroyed.

The zombies would have no problem infecting all the werewolves and killing the food source for the vampires. The problem would be the ghosts. Just imagine the situation: the ghost can touch and kill the zombies and the zombies can´t infect the ghosts.

And finally the ghosts. They are already dead, and can´t be eliminated by any known way. Although The ghost busters may not agree with me on that.

So, that is it. The fight is over. The ghosts won against every single enemy. The only ones that are able to stop them are humans, and the humans are almost extinct because of the zombies. The humans are the ultimate losers, after them the werewolves, then the zombies and finally the ghosts are the winners. Some may believe that, because of their intelligence, the humans would survive long enough for ghost to calm down and start living their normal life again. Of course, the zombie virus should be gone by then for the humans to rebuild the civilization.

As far as the ghosts are concerned, there is no point in discussing who the strongest movie monster is. It would be interesting to think about the world without the ghost and figure out a way to beat the zombies.

Maybe it could be done by joining forces with some other monsters that live on a movie screen.
