Communism meets monopoly in unlikely new board game

January 25th, 2011 dailywail Comments off

Communist monopoly is set to hit stores in Poland this week: Europics.at

A Communist version of the Monopoly board game called Queue in which players have to…queue, has gone on sale in Poland.

Players of the Communist version get a list of 10 essential items like bread and toilet paper and have to travel around the board joining queues to get into state owned shops.

And instead of Chance and Community Chest, players can draw wild cards that get them sent to the front because of a Communist Party connection or see a shop closed down for ‘decadence’.

The game – created by the country’s National Remembrance Institute – is designed to show schoolchildren what life was like under the old Soviet era rule.

And it not only makes players understand shopping in Poland under communism.

The game’s creator Karol Madaj told the Austrian Times: “This also teaches them what queueing is like, something most people seem to have forgotten.”

Communist monopoly is a little greyer than the traditional version

The farm girls stripped off for the sexy calendar

These farm girls have stripped off for a sexy calendar to raise money for charity.

The hot babes – all from real farming families – were selected from hundreds of entries for the calender.

The sexy collection is based on classic movie scenes from Hollywood films like Flashdance, Goldfinger and Mary Poppins.

Now shops in Austria, where it was made, say the steamy farm girls calender is flying off the shelves faster than they can stock it.

One of the farm girls explained: “Just because you’re from the country people think you’re a bit backward and unsophisticated.

“We wanted to show people just how classy we are.”

Elisabeth Koestinger, head of the Austrian Young Farmers Association, told the Austrian Times: “The sexy young farm girls calendar is helping to modernise the image of farmers.”

Woman takes dog for walk…while driving along a freeway

The woman driver thought she'd go for a drive...and walk her dog at the same time

IN CHINA animal cruelty is a national pastime.

But even the locals were shocked when this woman driver took her dog for a walk…on a major freeway.

Fellow drivers – including one man on a rickshaw – could barely believe their eyes when they spotted the pooch being taken for his morning walkies in the slow lane.

The black Nissan crawled along at just a few miles per hour while the animal doggedly padded along the highway in Sanya, central China.

“There are some lazy people around but to be so lazy you walk your dog by car really takes it to a new level,” one passer told the Austrian Times.

The best music video ever made: Ukelele Boy’s Jason Mraz cover version is racing up the YouTube charts

July 27th, 2010 dailywail Comments off

JASON Mraz had his first worldwide hit with I’m Yours – propelling him to international superstardom.

But now his thunder has been stolen on YouTube…by a small boy with a cheap ukelele.

The 32-year-old American sold more than three million copies of the feelgood song, shooting him to the top of charts all over the world.

But the Asian kid on YouTube – armed only with the tiny instrument – is hot on his heels.

His ludicrous cover version has already had 300,000 views – more than some versions of Mraz’s original – and is growing more popular by the day.

Nobody knows the infant’s name or how old he is. Hell, he can barely speak. But he can play.

And , for those who can’t even tell the difference, here’s the original:

Military experts hail new hand grenade made from chillies that leaves victims ‘blind and struggling for breath’

The chilli hand grenade can temporarily blind its victims (Europics.at)

ARMS experts have developed a non-lethal hand grenade loaded with the world’s most powerful chillies.

Military technicians in India have developed the new crowd control grenade packed with ground seeds from the Bhut Jolokia, officially recognised as the hottest chilli on the planet by Guinness World Records.

The grenade is packed with seeds from the Bhut Jolokia chilli - the hottest in the world

When deployed the grenade showers the targets with a dust so spicy that in trials subjects were blinded for hours and left with breathing problems.

Military leaders say it will be a major breakthrough in riot control or smoking out criminals and terrorists from their hiding places.

“The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout.

“The effect is so pungent that it would literally choke them,” lead scientist R.B. Srivastava at India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation told the Austrian Times.

The mane event: Deranged horse gets itself stuck in a sewer

It looks like someone is going to need a new mane sewer after this fully grown horse fell through a manhole cover in a freak accident.

Charley – a 12-year-old riding horse – saddled firefighters with a headache when the drain cover gave way after he returned from a morning canter with his owner Boris Fretz, 27, in Hewingsen, Germany.

Charlie was so excited by his time in the sewer he needed a lie down to recover

Winching gear lifted the 16 hand high beast free from the gully after two hours of being calmed by vets and animal lovers.

“Amazingly Charley was exhausted and filthy but absolutely fine after some hay and a good clean,” one firefighter told the Austrian Times.

This statue of a policeman about to pull his gun was stolen less than 48 hours after being installed as an anti-crime measure

THIEVES walked off with this life-sized statue of a policeman used to deter crooks at a shopping centre in Limburg, Germany.

The model – showing an officer about to pull his gun – was supposed to make thieves think twice before chancing their arm.
 
But less than 48 hours after it was installed crooks copped the 80lb statue as a trophy to show off their skills, say police.
 
“They clearly weren’t fooled by it.
 
“We’ve got a real one down there now,” one officer told the Austrian Times.
 

 

 

The world’s longest sausage. Mmmm…sausages

Would you take an enormous sausage from these men? (Europics.at)

These record breakers almost bit off more than they could chew when they set their sights on producing the world’s longest sausage.

The Spanish chorizo makers began to run out of filling before they reached their target of a 1,019 metres long nager.

But a team of a dozen butchers in Puertollano in southern Spain worked round the clock to prepare more stuffing for the final 100 metres cheered on by hundreds of well wishers.

“It was touch and go for a while but we made it,” one told the Austrian Times.

Utterly thrilled locals tuck in to the giant chorizo porker

The world’s biggest ever bottle of wine. Mmmm…wine

You need a ladder just to drink from the gigantic wine bottle (Europics.at)

THIS is the world’s biggest EVER bottle of wine.

The 15ft-tall bottle contains an astonishing 1,850 litres of claret – enough to put you more than 10,000 times over the drink-drive limit.
 
Produced by Wang Chen Wines in Liaoning, northern China, it contains treble the amount held by the previous record-holders in Austria.
 
“We are very proud and the wine is very good.
 
“We have all had a glass from the bottle to celebrate,” a company spokesman told the Austrian Times.

Buried alive: Beekeeper has narrow escape after medics mistake sting for a fatal heart attack and put him in a sealed coffin

Buried alive: Jozef Guzy has a bowl of soup, just because he still can (Europics.at)

AN elderly beekeeper was nearly buried alive after he got stung – and woke up inside a coffin.

Doctors thought Jozef Guzy, 76, had suffered a heart attack and when the emergency doctor arrived in an ambulance he was declared dead.

Within three hours he was placed inside a coffin, which was immediately sealed shut.

What you could have won...the coffin was nearly a shut case for the beekeeper

He was then driven to the undertakers and put in a storeroom, but the mistake was discovered when Guzy woke up and started to shout for help.

Undertaker Darius Charon said: “He was shouting and banging on the coffin – he made enough noise to raise the dead so we couldn’t miss him.

“He had a lucky escape – there is not a lot of air in those coffins. And he did need some medical attention.”

Ambulance Service spokesman Jerzy Wisniewski said the emergency doctor involved had apologised.

He said that the medic had not taken the cold weather in Katowice southern Poland, into account.

“The patient was not apparently breathing and the body had cooled – the usual characteristics of death,” he said.

Mr Guzy told the Austrian Times: “The undertaker saved my life. The first thing I did when I got out of hospital was take him a pot of honey.”
