» by animes in: Cool!, Japan

One of my hobbies are papercraft, and I got the idea to make an origamic architecture building in a small business card, is hard to make the cuts at this small level, is a 3 x2 inches card, hope you like it. If you want a 3d card just contact me, but they will be expensive because this is art.

Japanese Stirling Engine

» by animes in: Japan

The Stirling engine was invented in 1816, before the gasoline and Diesel engines. A Stirling engine can use any type of fuel, as well as solar energy and hot spring heat.

If you live in a hot place like Las Vegas, you could put a big one in your roof, put a big steel sheet down paint it with black, and you are done it, free energy as long as there is sun.

Biggest Burger King Tower hamburger ever made

» by animes in: Japan

diary_burgerking3.jpg

Burger king is back to Japan and one guy took the challenge to ask for a 21 tower burger. That’s like 2.4 kg(5.29 pounds) of meat.

The price of this crazy burger was 3,664 yen or something like 36 to 37 US dollars. The guy of course wasn’t able to eat the entire burger and he was lucky because we all know he could have ended up in a hospital with a heart attack :D
