Milk Bottle Collecting
You might not think so but this actually is a justified hobby. Look at it this way, the designs of milk bottles change with time right, so if one starts collecting and actually makes a museum of milk bottles, they can proudly show of the various trends in milk bottles! Paul Luke has more than 10,000 milk bottles!
Doodling on Cars
There is a guy in Taiwan named Li Zongxiong who lives on pension. This guy has covered all of his vehicles with script from various Buddhist editions and sayings. Each and every part of his rides is covered in writing and he claims that the police, sometimes, finds it hard to believe that someone would do such a thing to their own vehicle!
Tape Art
This mind sound a little out there but people are actually making quite impressive art renditions out of tape. The normal practice is that you take the tape out of the cassette and then try making an image of the singer of the tape, using the flimsy tape itself! Now that is something one can actually adopt!
Extreme Dog Groomin
All of you who currently own pets, or have had pets in the past must know that pet grooming is something very essential. Some people just make it a hobby to take pet grooming, or should I say Dog grooming (to be specific) to such an extreme level that the dogs start looking like some other animal!
Being the Extra-Extr
We see extra’s in the movies and in television shows all the time. Well there is this guy in south London called Paul Yarrow, who likes appearing as an extra- extra on TV. For those of you who know not, an extra-extra would be the person you see, randomly standing behind the anchor or newscaster during a live road show etc.
Faking Death
When he could not make it as an actor, Chuck Lamb decided he would play dead to earn a living and he is very successful at faking his own death! His fake death pictures and videos have attracted quite the crowd.
Mooing
Believe it or not, mooing is actually a hobby enjoyed by the young and the old equally. All you need to do is brace yourself, stand straight, and moo like a cow! Sounds like fun right?
Navel Fluff Collection
This hobby right here takes the cake for being the weirdest but trust what you see people because there exists as person by the name of Graham Barker, who likes collection his own navel fluff and has been gathering it over the years!
Suing

Top Ten Tourist Spots in Scotland
You know how sometimes one finds themselves in a certain country or a city and has no idea where to go and what to see? Well, incase you are planning to go to Scotland anytime soon (which I would personally highly recommend based on personal experience) then I have just the thing for. Skim through the pictures below and you will be shocked to see how intrigued you actually are by the time you reach the end of the list.
Kelvin Grove Art Gallery
Art galleries do not come as pretty as this one, the Kelvin Grove Art Gallery. If you are an admirer of art then this place would be a breath taking haven for you. The architecture, the built of it, the ambiance, it is all simply spell bounding. I bet you, you’ll be lost before you know, in a good sense that is.
Melrose Abbey
If you are in the mood of visiting a romantic ruin then the abbey is the place for you. Melrose Abbey is considered to be one of the hottest tourist spot and although now it is just a ruin, it is touted as one of the most beautiful buildings in Scotland. A must see for all the love birds on a honeymoon! Love is actually felt in the air, kudos to the history of the place of course!
The Island of Arran and Orkney
The place is definitely as must see for all visitors. The island is situated in the cold sea of Scotland and is keeper of the most secret of all Scottish history. Beautiful landscape and a lot of scenic locations make this a wonderland for tourists!
Holyrood Palace
Isn’t the palace just breathtaking even in a picture? This is the residence of the King of Scotland and if you haven’t visited this place, you haven’t really visited Scotland. The place is used for all the royal celebrations and official gatherings and rightfully so i say!
Edinburgh Castle
So one end of a mile has the Holyrood Palace and at the other end you have the Edinburgh Castle and this is one mile that will take you atleast a week to complete because it is filled with various attractions on either sides! I would like to repeat here that if you haven’t seen this, you haven’t been to Scotland! It is such a sight to behold at night specially.
Glasgow Science Center
This is one of those locations that were given a five star rating as far as tourist attractions are concerned! The place has over 200 amazing exhibits, hold various workshop and exhibitions, and even for non-science people, it is massively attractive!
Edinburgh Zoo
So I know you might say that “oh all the zoo’s are nearly the same” and true that I say. But you really need to visit the Edinburgh Zoo to know that difference! It has nearly all animals that you can imagine off! A beautiful place to see!
Eilean Donan
This little island that is known as Eilean Donan, is connected to the mainland via a footbridge. This castle that rests on Eilean Donan is one of the most photographed places and structures in all of Scotland and once you visit it, you will know exactly why. Perhaps no other place can offer you such a euphoria, its exhilarating.
Loch Ness
A trip to Scotland will be complete if you miss out the oppurtunity to witness with your own eyes, the resting place of the legendary monster of Loch Ness. Yes, you guessed right, it is Loch Ness itself, something that deserves a thorough observation!
Luskentyre Beach
Last but definitely not the least, the Luskentyre Beach. Nature in its purest and more serene form is at your service. After a day of roaming around, cool off in the crisp waters under and endlessly blue sky. Trust me, this beach is all you will be needing if its relaxation that you are looking for, your very own Nirvana!
10 Laws that are NEVER Obeyed!
10 Laws that are NEVER Obeyed!
You know how we have always read that rules are supposed to be followed and that laws should always be obeyed. Well beleive it or not, there are some rules and laws in this world that are hardly ever followed or must I say, laws that are always broken. Smile all you want but read on and you shall be astonished!
So compiled below is a list of 10 laws that are never or hardly obeyed. Do share with us in comment section if we have missed out any.
No Reading in the bookstore
There are so many signs in bookstores that say that if you are not going to buy a book, please do not read it. Skimming through it is different, but whenever you walk into a book store, you will find people actually bunked around on the floor reading the books they never intend to buy.
Using the left lane to cross
If any of you reading this has a drivers license (which I am sure most of you do have actually) then I am sure that you must be aware of the fact that the left lane on the road is specifically for over taking- after which you are supposed to move back into the right lane! Be honest, how many times have you yourself followed this law?
No gambling at home
There are perhaps a gazillion laws that do not allow or forbid gambling of any sorts at home but be it christmas or easter, you shall see a lot of people actually having a game of poker or something else, but certainly gambling away after all that booze!
Washing hands before work
There are certain jobs that require that before people come back to work they should wash their hands. Nearly all of the food joints actually say this, but trust me, as gross as it might sound, this is also one of those rules that are hardly ever followed unless utmost necassary (deemed by the person himself ofcourse).
Shower before Swimming in the Pool
Same as the above one perhaps, but there are signs near every swimming pool insisting that the swimmers take a shower before they enter the pool just to ensure proper hygenic conditions of the pool water for the other swimmers but not only is this rule completely ignored by most of the people, it is increasingly violated as well, if you know what I mean ofcourse!
Don’t drive a car with the R sign
Now there are certain states in the world that require cars to pass a certain, test, if you will, in order to qualify that the said vehicle is safe to drive. Incase they do not clear the test, a symbol R is placed on their front windows that is supposed to stand for “Rejected Inspection”. One cannot drive a car in such a situation but people still do, claiming, more often than not, that if they won’t drive it then how will they take it for repairs and maintenance! Score for them I say!
No Jaywalking
Now the law against Jaywalking is for the safety of the pedestrians, but more often than not, they are not only found jaywalking in the middle of a busy street but apparently dancing to tunes unknown to the people in the cars! Funny how they say the roads are dangerous then eh?
No Piracy
I think for this particular rule it will suffice to say that if it weren’t for piracy, most of the teenagers would spend their entire pocket money paying for online movies and music! That nearly sums it all up.
The Liscense to Sell
So you know how they say that you need to a license to sell anything and everything? Well that goes true for even a lemonade stand and judging by the fact that there are too many of those and other similar stands that one cannot even keep count, do you really believe that this law is being obeyed? Hell no people!
Cash Register Balance
And the last spot goes to the law that needs all the business and retail people out there to maintain a certain amount of cash in their register at all time. For various reasons, which includes random robberies as well, a very few people actually obey this law and most of them aren’t even aware that such a law even exists! Figure that!
