Posted onMarch 2, 2012|Comments Off on China Introduces Live Crab Vending Machines
Located in the Xinjiekou subway station, in Nanjing, China, this particular vending machine is full of live hairy crabs and crab vinegar, making it available to enjoy seafood on the go. Dumb idea? They are actually selling an impressive 200 crabs a day. They are generally cheaper than the crabs found at the local food markets, and buying them during their daily commute is saving precious time.
Depending on size, crabs can be bought for 10 RMB, 12 RMB, 25 RMB and 50 RMB. They all seem dead, but their actually just hibernating due to the low temperature in the vending machine.
This picture shows one of the toys I always wanted as a kid and never got. Not sure I’m totally over it. Hail theG.I. Joe’sU.S.S. Flagg Playset – the envy of every Gen X boy.

This mysterious, tantalizing image of an unreleased Girl Scouts-branded Thin Mints Nestle Crunch bar showed up on the internet within the last 24-hours, but there’s no real information about it. However, the package is clearly marked “Cookie Flavors” so it seems as though this sales sample could be the start of an entire line of limited edition Girl Scouts candy bars. Until we know for sure, go buy some regular Girl Scout cookies here.
Investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe is researching a large number of strange and unexplained horn-like sounds filling the air since March 2011 and the possible causes. The phenomenon surfaced after a number of videos were uploaded on YouTube from such divergent places as Norway, Costa Rica, Tennessee and Kiev, Ukraine. The sounds, like the one recorded below, sound like trains and are described as the sky groaning.
There must be some 50 YouTube videos now circulating from many places in North America and from different countries around the world with strange, often unexplained, sounds recorded over the past year since at least March 2011. Do a search for them yourself and make your own judgment call.
Some think the sounds are from some secret government testing. Others think the sounds are extraterrestrial. Many are also making the connections of these sounds to the Bible and the book of Revelation (Chapters 8 and 9) where it talks about the the opening of the seventh seal and angels blowing trumpets.
Whatever the explanation, the sounds are creepy and must be amazingly frightening to experience first hand. Next time you are outside, take a moment to stop and listen to your surroundings. Is the Earth trying to tell us something? Below is another video that shows many eyewitness accounts from all over. It’s worth watching and listening to.
