HARI KARI? HARI KUYO!
Smallest Miniature Painting By Norris Castillo
The Coldest Desert On Earth
Given the endless miles of snow and ice, where temperatures have gone as low as -89C, the stretch of barren territory came as quite a surprise to explorers. Like any other desert, it has long stretches of plains, sometimes 100km or more, that create optical illusions by making the horizon appear closer than it is. And while it does have rocky outcroppings, and mountains around the perimeter, there is virtually nothing else within the valleys except frozen dirt. Even the mountain ranges have prevented ice from moving down into the valleys. It does snow in the Antarctic however, a whopping two inches of precipitation per year. But at the average temperatures, it doesn't rain. So why are the valleys bare of any kind of moisture? Because of the Katabatic winds that whip down the mountains and over the bare ground at 100mph. With the sole exception of one valley which experiences a flow of water along its riverbed in summer, the region is totally dry, and scientists estimate it has not seen rain in over two million years. The conditions are so unique as to resemble the surface of Mars, which made the Dry Valleys a perfect testing ground for NASA to prepare their exploratory equipment for the red planet.
Burj Dubai
It is expected to be about 2605 feet (808 meters) high by September when it is ready for being occupied. The tower, designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill the ones who designed the Sears Tower in Chicago, which it is expected to be 150% overcome, and the Freedom Tower in New York City, will have more than 56 elevators, boutiques, 160 floors, swimming pools, corporate suites, a Giorgio Armani hotel and a 124th floor observation platform.
Oldest Living Tree
The researchers found the shrubby mountain survivor at an altitude of 2,985 feet (910 meters) in Dalarna Province. The tree's incredible longevity is largely due to its ability to clone itself, Kullman said.
The spruce's stems or trunks have a lifespan of around 600 years, "but as soon as a stem dies, a new one emerges from the same root stock," Kullman explained. "So the tree has a very long life expectancy."

Khagendra Thapa Magar
His medical condition and the cause are still unknown. Nobody in his family has had this or similar type of condition before. Khagendra doesn't go to school; he stopped going to school after his classmates started pulling and pushing him around.
If he's really 20 inches; he's certainly the shortest person in the world because according to Guinness Book of World Records, Gull Mohammad was 22.5 inches.
