Dekotora : Japanese Decoration Truck
Move aside "The Black Parade" for a moment(you guys awesome). These electric parade by a number of heavily decorated truck really popping my eyes a bit off-position. Such an el creativo people!
From wiki
"Dekotora or Decotora (デコトラ, dekotora?), an abbreviation for "Decoration Truck", is a loudly decorated truck found often in Japan. Dekotora commonly have neon or ultraviolet lights, extravagant paints, and shiny stainless or golden exterior parts. These decorations can be found on both the cab and the trailer, and not only on the exterior but also in the interior. Dekotora may be created by workers out of their work trucks for fun, or they may be designed by hobbyists for special events. They are sometimes also referred to as Art Trucks (アートトラ(ック), ātotora(kku)?).
Note that Dekotora does not refer to vehicles used for political campaigns or propaganda."

The Greatest Hair
Chinese man washes hair for first time in 26 years
80 year-old Mr. Luo lives in the little village of Chong Qing city in China. Wildly enough, he hasn't washed or cut his hair or beard for more than 26 years. His hair grew to 2 metres long and his beard was 1.5 metres.
For the first time in 26 years, he decided to give himself a new look for a local animal sports event. All the townspeople lined up to give him a hand. After many failed attempts using regular shampoo, they spent a total of 5 hours and 3 packs of laundry detergent to wash him clean. In the end, Mr. Luo was a very happy man.

World's Tallest Hotel
The Ryugyong Hotel (or Ryu-Gyong Hotel or Yu-Kyung Hotel or the 105 Building) is a towering, empty concrete shell that was once intended for use as a hotel in Sojang-dong, in the Potong-gang District of Pyongyang, North Korea.
The hotel's name comes from one of the historic names for Pyongyang: Ryugyong, or "capital of willows".
Its 105 stories rise to a height of 330 m (1,083 ft), and it boasts some 360,000 m² (3.9 million ft²) of floor space, making it the most prominent feature of the city's skyline and by far the largest structure in that country.
Construction started in 1987 and ceased in 1992. If the building were ever completed, it would be the world's tallest hotel and the seventh largest building in the world.
However, as of 2006, it remains unfinished and uninhabited.

Latest crime buster : Cop Cart's Three-Wheeler
Cops love it. Do you? Emmm.. not my taste :)
"T3 Motion has already sold versions of their T3 to the Los Angeles Police Department and other municipalities. The company plans to add a model with suspension next and, in 2009, sell a version of the T3 to the general public. As fun as the T3 is, the price alone may be enough to scare off civilians. The base T3 model goes for $6,188. And that’s before you add the $1200 battery charger." -source
