MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
2014 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 350,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 15 days for that many people to see it.

The City of Málaga is the capital of the Province of Málaga, in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain. The cynosure of the city is the Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación, the Cathedral of Málaga. It is a Renaissance Catholic church.
Outside the Cathedral, one can find a nimble-fingered street artist. He paints three pictures in three minutes. He sells his masterpieces for mere 10 Euros.

Weird Isn’t It?
.
.
The above video posted by Jordan on YouTube has evoked a variety of hilarious comments from the viewers. Here are some:
Eloisa Costal Bonadio: “What is it?!? English please!!“
Athis Coquillon: “Chinese Instant roman noodles.”
Malcom Rosenthal: “Whatever it is, keep that over there.
Darren Zachary Munoz: “What everyone wishes their marijuana could do.”
Jason P Conyers: “Whatever that is, pour gasoline in with it, lite it up and walk away from it.” (sic)
Chantelle Leanne Bruce: “This incredible desert plant often is referred to as rose of Jericho. In its dried state, it is already a great decoration of desert type terrariums …”
Lisa Cagle: “It’s a rubber band ball.”
Fatima Sano: “How is that a rubber band ball that is able to regrow and regurgitate itself and that is hard as tree bark… Please stop I don’t think so! that was nasty and I still got the hibby gibbies from watching that #Yuck” (sic)
Brandon Bullock: “Whatever it is, I’m sure someone will blame Obama.”
Lisa Cagle guess is correct. It is a rubber band ball.
Jordan built this elastic band ball together with his father. They bought bags of elastic bands and added them onto the ball for a year. As the ball grew, they found it quite difficult to find elastic bands, that could still make it all the way round. After a year, they got bored and stopped growing the ball. They left it under a table for another year. After a while, the elastic on the outer layers frayed and started snapping. Every day they found snapped elastic bands on the floor. Then, they decided to get rid of it.
Jordan suggested cutting the rubber band ball in half. He started sawing the ball. After about 10-15 minutes, weird stuff started happening. Jordan decided to film it. He handed the saw to his father and got his camera and filmed the bizarre.
At the time I saw this video it had been viewed 6,329,151 times.
Rubber band balls are a lot of fun to make, and the record for the largest one ever made used 700,000 elastic bands and weighed 4,097 kilograms (9,032 lb).
Money Is the Root of All Evil…
.
For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. – 1 Timothy 6:10 (The New American Bible, Revised Edition – NABRE)

When he has no money and even when he works in a hotel he comes home to eat.
When he has money and even when food is cooked at home he goes to a hotel to eat.
When he has no money he uses the bicycle to fill his shrunken belly.
When he has money he uses the bicycle to reduce his fat belly.
When he has no money he yearns for food.
When he has money he yearns for wealth.
When he has no money he acts as if he is rich.
When he has money he acts as if he is poor.
When he had peace he longed for money.
Now when he has money he longs for peace.

Turntable for Buses in a Village in Spain
.
.
.
In many villages and small towns around the world, the streets are not wide enough to reverse a bus for the return journey. So, in most cases the respective municipal authorities would not allow any bus to ply into these places.
Elantxobe is a beautiful village located on a steep cliff face on the coast in the province of Biscay in the autonomous community of Euskal Herria (Basque Country), northern Spain.
Despite the narrow streets, its citizens wanted a bus to come to their village.
BizkaiBus is the name of the bus services serving the province of Biscay, Spain. The BizkaiBus and the Elantxobe municipal authorities borrowing the idea from the railway yards came up with the novel turntable manoeuvre. They installed it the village plaza.
After positioning the bus in the centre of the turntable, the driver uses a remote control device to start the turning process.
