10 Of The Most Expensive Things You’ll Find On Amazon

Here are 10 of the most expensive things you’ll find on Amazon. Many flock to Amazon for its large selection and competitive pricing, but not everything on the site is a bargain.

Here are 10 of the most expensive things you’ll find there.

Number 10. Neil Armstrong’s Hairdressing Comb And Scissors - $36,641. They didn’t actually belong to the astronaut, but were used to cut his hair. The grooming set was once owned by Armstrong’s barber, Marx Sizemore.

Number 9. 1907 Indian Ten-Dollar Coin. $624,000. Not only is the item old, it’s one of only 42 struck. Its authenticity has been certified, and the quality has been designated as being very high. Plus, it ships for free.

Number 8. Mickey Mantle Autographed Card Set. $90,909. This autographed grouping of 4 includes one that shows the legendary player swinging and presumably hitting as it’s captioned, ‘Going, Going, Gone.’

Number 7. Virgin Human Hair Extensions. $24,858. The last thing anybody needs after going through the time and expense of having their locks enhanced is a cheap looking ‘do. These tresses are promised to come from a single donor who refrained from chemical hair processes of any kind.

Number 6. Lladro Niagara Chandelier. $120,000. Handmade of fine porcelain, each sculptural piece undergoes intense scrutiny to ensure it meets the company’s exacting standards. The objects proving unworthy of the Lladro name are destroyed.

Number 5. Samsung 105-Inch Smart TV. $119,999.99. Impressive though the television is, it’s the reviews of it that really steal the show. One person wrote, “I was able to purchase this amazing television with an FHA loan (30 year fixed-rate w/ 4.25% APR) and only 3.5% down…And the box it came in is incredibly roomy too, which is a huge bonus, because I live in it now.”

Number 4. Freaks 1932 Movie Poster. $850,000. This incredibly rare piece of horror movie memorabilia is said to be the only known one of it’s kind. The 27 inch by 41 inch print comes shrink wrapped and will be shipped free of charge.

Number 3. Manuscript Annotated And Signed By William Barclay ‘Bat’ Masterson. $475,000. Prior to the 1913 publication of the book ‘Dodge City, The Cowboy Capital’, author Robert M. Write sent these pages to the former Dodge City deputy for review. Masterson made a few corrections and signed the draft with his full name, which he very seldom did.

Number 2. 1932 ‘Old Dark House’ Movie Poster. $750,000. Apparently, collecting rare horror movie promotional prints is a very expensive hobby. Only two of this particular poster for the Boris Karloff classic are known to still exist, and this one is said to be in far better condition than the other.

Number 1. 1937 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Set. $318,184.99. If the collection’s generous size isn’t enough to urge you to hit the ‘buy’ button, perhaps the discount being offered will. The current price reflects a reduction of 17,500 dollars and one cent.

Top 10 Weirdest Weapons

Some of our greatest innovations have been in the military field. These are the wacky weapons that misguided military inventors have come up with over the years.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">10. Animal Bombs</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw1zQrMAeVkdPP0eXaL-inz4I7GnuM4sA866nSsRCjbFeJHYQPnWF8EXJ36wQ0J98L5NmrqZBy09S0gcauM1NJj3AlhzaEbcemj1AyaMy3JqPMQ2f0PxQpF8b0r7xaVGxogtJ_z87pR6w/s1600/Animal+Bombs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw1zQrMAeVkdPP0eXaL-inz4I7GnuM4sA866nSsRCjbFeJHYQPnWF8EXJ36wQ0J98L5NmrqZBy09S0gcauM1NJj3AlhzaEbcemj1AyaMy3JqPMQ2f0PxQpF8b0r7xaVGxogtJ_z87pR6w/s640/Animal+Bombs.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Today animal rights organizations would protest the use of animals in warfare but in World War II, several different nations did just that. The United States tried bats with tiny incendiary bombs because of the large number of bats available, their ability to carry more than their own weight and the fact that they find hiding places like buildings during the day. The British attempted using dead rats with plastic explosives inside. They thought that when the Germans would shovel them into the boilers with the coal they would explode. In the Soviet Union, anti-tank dogs were trained to think that food was stored under tanks and armored vehicles. Then they were laden with explosives and released onto the battlefield where they ran straight under the tank and were detonated – doing the most damage possible to the tank.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose Idea Was This?</span><br />
<br />
The mastermind behind the bat bomb was dental surgeon Lytle S. Adams whose idea was approved by President Roosevelt in 1942. The exploding rats were one of the developments of Britain’s Special Operations Executive, an organization started in World War II to conduct warfare by means other than direct military engagement. But before the rats could be used, the first shipment was intercepted by the Germans and the Brits dropped the plan. The use of dogs for military purposes in the Soviet Union began in 1924 and a specialized training school was founded in the Moscow Oblast.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">9. The Sword Breaker</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiNJg60APbON6hWRfqmwkr7aW5PYgzrd9AReJtVxOqGvHo9rolt6N8wMiDvOyHebwUPhxVvCSRIaxfrAosxFYUoJ4iyBzq7BLvz5uFcW1qU4fUACJkq0so06dtg-FY3bICHq0-D6cCg60/s1600/Sword-Breaker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiNJg60APbON6hWRfqmwkr7aW5PYgzrd9AReJtVxOqGvHo9rolt6N8wMiDvOyHebwUPhxVvCSRIaxfrAosxFYUoJ4iyBzq7BLvz5uFcW1qU4fUACJkq0so06dtg-FY3bICHq0-D6cCg60/s640/Sword-Breaker.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
A weapon of the Middle Ages, the sword breaker was a long sturdy dagger with notches cut on one side of the blade. During battle a knight would catch his opponent’s sword in one of the notches and with a quick twist would break the blade.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose Idea Was This?</span><br />
<br />
It is unknown who came up with the idea for the sword breaker but it came into use in the Medieval Era, and was one of many tools in a knight’s arsenal.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. The Man Catcher</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcPQGN2rV2iCCTJLbiC_k1OZXY_HrEQ4gogHwdPRTrCGr2m_50_haW4dRxITJlmCa6GicNsH9f2uMCxV1WdMIqFSb5ka7XlfFgz1CnwnB8OirPe7lq3UtdArdKHlvGcaNCsgZ1Ka9ahqA/s1600/Man-Catcher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcPQGN2rV2iCCTJLbiC_k1OZXY_HrEQ4gogHwdPRTrCGr2m_50_haW4dRxITJlmCa6GicNsH9f2uMCxV1WdMIqFSb5ka7XlfFgz1CnwnB8OirPe7lq3UtdArdKHlvGcaNCsgZ1Ka9ahqA/s640/Man-Catcher.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><br />
The man catcher is a type of pole weapon with two prongs, each of which is semicircular with a spring loaded trap on the front. It was designed as a means of pulling a person from horseback and played a major role in the Medieval custom of capturing royal or noble enemies for ransom. The man catcher was also used to trap and hold violent prisoners.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
No one knows who invented the man catcher but it came into use in Europe during the Medieval period and was used until the 18th century. The Edo era Japanese had a similar weapon called a sasumata which pinned an enemy to the ground or against a wall. A variation of the susamata is still used today by Japanese riot police.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. The Puckle Gun</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlSzxDYa4c5EVDiwmC2dflVMSaqI1jihxNUo4qqSHDuWyjdV78Sfi99azVZAp1Qkb7goJcSd48DPn-cUJ3NOXpIWmW8oAY3XPryH0F8AgGe-Faf1sguNDjKK_Fgq6r5m3xqWxOr1GLPw/s1600/Puckle-Gun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlSzxDYa4c5EVDiwmC2dflVMSaqI1jihxNUo4qqSHDuWyjdV78Sfi99azVZAp1Qkb7goJcSd48DPn-cUJ3NOXpIWmW8oAY3XPryH0F8AgGe-Faf1sguNDjKK_Fgq6r5m3xqWxOr1GLPw/s640/Puckle-Gun.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Often considered the first machine gun, the Puckle Gun or Defence gun was a tripod-mounted, single barrel flintlock gun with a multi shot revolving cylinder. It was designed for use on ships to prevent boarding and could fire 63 shots in seven minutes. But what makes this weapon weird and unique is that it was capable of firing two types of bullets, round bullets to be used against Christian enemies and square bullets to be used against Muslim Turks. The square bullets were thought to be more painful and according to the patent would convince the Turks of the benefits of Christian civilization.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
The Puckle Gun was invented by English inventor, lawyer and writer, James Puckle in 1718. The patent was one of the first patents to require a description of how it worked. Despite drawing a few investors the Puckle Gun was never widely produced as many gunsmiths couldn’t mass produce the complex components.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Flying Aircraft Carriers</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcTJ7JbnGQQ-GwK_R3hJoS3m0_B0ZPUACjZf91ES9AZf3mpGKpqpF2u9k3g_tiLoPu8PISV0aL4DXedE4C5mc2y0OE1_EFbnxztEHcKQrA9RylwWttEilnq9hnmyv_1ZiKWwkHMxfS3ns/s1600/Flying-Aircraft-Carrier.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcTJ7JbnGQQ-GwK_R3hJoS3m0_B0ZPUACjZf91ES9AZf3mpGKpqpF2u9k3g_tiLoPu8PISV0aL4DXedE4C5mc2y0OE1_EFbnxztEHcKQrA9RylwWttEilnq9hnmyv_1ZiKWwkHMxfS3ns/s640/Flying-Aircraft-Carrier.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Popularly included in many steam punk style novels, TV shows and movies, the flying aircraft carrier was briefly a part of the collective imagination of the wartime public. While most think of a zeppelin type ship with an airship on the top, after the Hindenberg disaster all plans to build these types of ships were scrapped. However, later attempts to transport fighters closer to the action include bombers and more recently, modified Boeing 747s.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
The Zeppelin carriers were developed by the US Navy in World War II using a system where a plane was equipped with a sky hook that would attach to a trapeze on the bottom of the ship. The bombers were first used by the Japanese on kamikaze missions in World War II. Later bomber and jet carriers were developed by NASA.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. The Lantern Shield</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7iw5zg51z9m7HjwNa4chfqsTPxfaHClR2yv70lylngbxWm5Ph64KLj-_PRA3nG2QeDjyLErx3LvkHlGq5kbla2P6L7gXLuw7NNHbL5PfD3j1UuiCeHqDntV8egtoMy34AmA7QNB0hTM/s1600/The-Lantern-Shield.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7iw5zg51z9m7HjwNa4chfqsTPxfaHClR2yv70lylngbxWm5Ph64KLj-_PRA3nG2QeDjyLErx3LvkHlGq5kbla2P6L7gXLuw7NNHbL5PfD3j1UuiCeHqDntV8egtoMy34AmA7QNB0hTM/s640/The-Lantern-Shield.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
A product of the Renaissance, the Lantern Shield was not only a defensive tool but a weapon in its own right. The Lantern Shield is a small buckler on which was an added gauntlet with serrated blades, a long blade parallel to the user’s arm, spikes and lantern attached to the center of the shield with a hook. The lanterns were covered with a leather flap and then were removed to confuse the attacker. But it wasn’t so much of a military weapon, it was used either by fencers or as protection from criminals while walking the city streets at night.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
It is unknown who invented the lantern shield but it came into use in 16th century Italy. It has been considered by some as a Swiss-army shield because it is a balance of defensive and attacking characteristics with a touch of psychological warfare thrown in for good measure.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Project Habakkuk</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQyXoA1cRFLo54pb_2zEySu4S7BI2Wandmpj1HqiUiuw7nXlG5tkaQ2_FS5LbEM9NmRQ7vbpVtHr9Z0C5Haq5m5ZquIXDsCX2hAFUyPKU-E_Caybux_iq1-H64OCscvUuZsi0IEG4_nw/s1600/Project-Habakkuk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQyXoA1cRFLo54pb_2zEySu4S7BI2Wandmpj1HqiUiuw7nXlG5tkaQ2_FS5LbEM9NmRQ7vbpVtHr9Z0C5Haq5m5ZquIXDsCX2hAFUyPKU-E_Caybux_iq1-H64OCscvUuZsi0IEG4_nw/s640/Project-Habakkuk.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
During World War II, metal was a precious commodity.  Allied forces were losing a lot of supply ships to German U-boats. So the British government planned to build an aircraft carrier out of pykrete (a mixture of ice and wood pulp). After much research, they determined that the carrier would be 2000 feet long with a 40 ft thick hull which would be built with an extensive cooling system and would be capable of carrying 150 planes. The pykrete itself was made out of 14% wood pulp and 86% water which was more easily repaired than traditional metal ships.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
The pykrete carrier was invented by Geoffrey Pyke while he was working at Combined Operations Headquarters. Although before any ships were produced, the war had come to an end and there was no longer a need to create these ships.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. The Claw of Archimedes</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg437RGkCw1LW5yDrqyeN2tYLR7LMjJ3PPTHnQinFrlmzinFqX3UEAHFtfYzjS9HuXdL_ySL7uX4v2EIqbPdc2lvsiy2QYskQrkZ5__5R76kEa2n-Re94hXuUCxOB9wGY7tL8RxmAvCZo4/s1600/The-Claw-of-Archimedes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg437RGkCw1LW5yDrqyeN2tYLR7LMjJ3PPTHnQinFrlmzinFqX3UEAHFtfYzjS9HuXdL_ySL7uX4v2EIqbPdc2lvsiy2QYskQrkZ5__5R76kEa2n-Re94hXuUCxOB9wGY7tL8RxmAvCZo4/s640/The-Claw-of-Archimedes.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The Claw of Archimedes was designed in the third century AD to protect the Carthaginian stronghold of Syracuse from a Roman naval attack. It was a giant crane with large grappling hooks attached to it with ropes. When a Roman ship got close to the city walls, the hooks would grab onto the ship and lift it partly out of the water. Then the ship was dropped causing them to capsize. The machine was so effectively hidden that the Romans began to think they were fighting against the Gods.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
One of the greatest minds of his time, Archimedes was charged with the task of defending Syracuse by its ruler Heiro. The Claw of Archimedes became useful during the Second Punic War when Rome attacked Syracuse with more than 220 Quinqueremes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. The Whirlwind Cannon</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHW16Ndr2-uvexSn65e2IlXESVtJqdIAa_epMAfWrkwN6O9xfIhXazsNnaFw-Gu-cVXmhU9dW0kiqzKJeKTVtc7moAr0IrmsKLnJ_tdUu68ZVfN6DJmqSL_3FigZ6Z3af5yGk1LQaMxWI/s1600/whirlwind-cannon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHW16Ndr2-uvexSn65e2IlXESVtJqdIAa_epMAfWrkwN6O9xfIhXazsNnaFw-Gu-cVXmhU9dW0kiqzKJeKTVtc7moAr0IrmsKLnJ_tdUu68ZVfN6DJmqSL_3FigZ6Z3af5yGk1LQaMxWI/s640/whirlwind-cannon.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The Whirlwind Cannon was built in Germany during World War II to produce man-made whirlwinds. The machine worked by creating explosions in a combustion chamber and releasing them through nozzles at their targets. A smaller scale model was built and was capable of shattering planks 200 yards away. A full size Whirlwind Cannon was constructed but it was unable to produce whirlwinds at high altitudes and the project was scrapped.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
The Whirlwind Cannon was the brainchild of Dr. Zippermeyer, an Austrian inventor who built a number of odd anti-aircraft weapons out of an experimental establishment at Lofer in the Tyrol. During the war his work was closely watched by the German Office of Aeronautics as a way of protecting Germany from the overwhelming numbers of the Allied Air Forces.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Gay Bombs</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_iWonnZZRYJlZgmj5ut00m4DCi5LM1V5t78owkpZfRg58bBd5Ul_JOwUPTkrII5kNzfXdCV88LDfNv7n5Q068oIPMAS_Zc55XRuZ450Au4yWduv9w3XqQ5Y_vCaKlKYMxaP6dFSQRjXg/s1600/gay-bomb.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_iWonnZZRYJlZgmj5ut00m4DCi5LM1V5t78owkpZfRg58bBd5Ul_JOwUPTkrII5kNzfXdCV88LDfNv7n5Q068oIPMAS_Zc55XRuZ450Au4yWduv9w3XqQ5Y_vCaKlKYMxaP6dFSQRjXg/s640/gay-bomb.gif" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The halitosis bomb or gay bomb was a theoretical non-lethal bomb that when deployed would release strong female pheromones. The idea was that the aphrodisiac would make enemy soldiers irresistible to each other thus they would become distracted and easier to attack.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whose idea was this?</span><br />
<br />
The gay bomb was never actually built but the idea was developed by the United States Air Force in 1994. The proposal was later discovered by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request.<br />

6. Patrick Deuel (570 lbs.) -Patrick Deuel was born on March 28, 1962 and was one of the heaviest people in the world. He was part of the documentary "Half Ton Man" and through that, he was able to lose 700 lbs. He was a former restaurant manager but because of his weight, he reached the point where he was unable to leave his house. He became so enormous that his bedroom had to be cut in order to get him out of his home. He even had to undergo an operation in order to remove a mass of skin and fat that was hanging from his midsection.<br />
<br />
5. Donna Simpson (602 lbs.) -Donna Simpson was born in 1967. Unlike the others, Donna actually wanted to become one of the world's heaviest women. She had the desire to attain a target weight of 1,000 lbs. In June of the year 2010, she weighed around 602 pounds. She even maintained a website where she entertained fans who paid just to watch her eat. In 2010, she won the Guinness World Records slot for the title "heaviest woman to give birth".<br />
<br />
4. Terri Smith (700 lbs.) -Terri Smith was once an active woman despite being fat. By the age of 20, she weighed 252 lbs but she made sure that she would remain active as she was holding a job as a mental health worker. She helped others wash, feed, and dress themselves<br />
<br />
3. Jon Brower Minnoch (798 lbs.) -At one point, Jon Brower Minnoch weighed more than 1400 lbs. He was gaining weight as the years went by, starting from 400 lbs and adding around 300 lbs almost every year. It actually reached the point where he needed 13 people to help him roll over the bed. He suffered from massive edema which made the doctors augment at least 900 lbs of fluid but went back on gaining weight after recovering. He was married and had two children.<br />
<br />
2. Kenneth Brumley (1035 lbs.) -Kenneth Brumley was one of the fattest people ever documented. He was featured in a documentary entitled "Half Ton Dad". He said that he had been bound in bed for four years and in order to submit himself for a gastric bypass, firemen had to put down a wall in his house just to get him out. His diet is still monitored as of the present. He currently weighs 1,035 lbs.<br />
<br />
1. Mayra Rosales (1036 lbs.) -Mayra Rosales, a 1,000-lb woman is 'too big to kill'. However, she was accused of murdering her 2-year-old nephew in the year 2008. A court in Texas has pleaded not-guilty for Rosales and ruled that the accused did not kill her nephew. This is because of the fact that Mayra Rosales weighs more than 1,036 pounds, which means that she weighs too much, making it impossible for her to even lift her arm in order to kill her<br />

10 Incredible Moments Caught On Police Car Dashcams

Some things you just have to see to believe. Thankfully, the trend of installing dashcams in police vehicles is allowing for just that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7cVWAcJCey7D3ZrcIhqRJ3D6bUZiSazFRVbQPYzsV-ZTqT2djUzbM5IAjC-PFGa_GlP6e7eS-TTcpfN9YNfB84s3FCSnqHf0Hzr1XG_Qn5lsxIB-WJiXWJzAuiQhjgl6IkXwIjde0oI/s1600/caja.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA7cVWAcJCey7D3ZrcIhqRJ3D6bUZiSazFRVbQPYzsV-ZTqT2djUzbM5IAjC-PFGa_GlP6e7eS-TTcpfN9YNfB84s3FCSnqHf0Hzr1XG_Qn5lsxIB-WJiXWJzAuiQhjgl6IkXwIjde0oI/s1600/caja.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Here are 10 of the more incredible moments the recording devices have captured.<br />
<br />
Number 10. Man walking around with a golf club. The Seattle officer on the scene said that the 69-year-old wielded the sporting equipment in a threatening manner, so she arrested him. Video evidence taken by the patrol car’s dashcam shows he was, as he said, just using it as a cane. An apology was issued.<br />
<br />
Number 9. Officer saves choking motorist. While on traffic patrol in the Bronx, a member of the NYPD noticed a car that had slowed down in the right lane. After pulling the vehicle over, he approached the driver and discovered she was having difficulty breathing. He performed the Heimlich maneuver, dislodged a cough drop, and called for medical assistance.<br />
<br />
Number 8. Tossing a ball around with a lonely kid. Sergeant Ariel Soltura was traveling through a Rosenberg, Texas neighborhood when he saw a kid with a football, but no friends to enjoy it with. He took a moment to get out of the car and play some catch with the youth, no doubt making the 10-year-old’s day.<br />
<br />
Number 7. Delaware officer shakes it off. Sometimes when a Taylor Swift song plays a person just needs to get down and sing along. That’s exactly what Master Corporal Jeff Davis did, only his performance was caught on camera and shared with the world via Facebook and YouTube.<br />
<br />
Number 6. Falling tree. It started out as a regular traffic stop, but certainly didn’t end that way. In the midst of talking to the driver about why their lights weren’t on, the Centerville, Iowa officer was struck by a falling tree. He survived, but whether the incident makes him lucky or unlucky remains a hotly debated topic.<br />
<br />
Number 5. Long, complicated horse chase. A horse carriage driver in Poland only left his coach for a moment to run into a store. While he was away, an engine backfired and the frightened animals took off. Efforts to corral them included a car chase, roadblocks, and finally just pursing the pair on foot and grabbing the reins when the horses were distracted.<br />
<br />
Number 4. Officers fighting. Upon being pulled over by a uniformed member of the Miami Police Department, the lieutenant who was stopped for speeding reportedly stated his title and forced his car door open into the officer. The two struggled and ended up on the ground. Several other units showed up and an investigation followed.<br />
<br />
Number 3. Batman gets stopped. It seems that even Batmobiles must be sporting state-issued tags. During a traffic stop related to the lack of them, police learned that this particular bat-inspired crusader’s name is really Lenny, but that he truly was in the midst of performing an act of heroism. He was on his way to a hospital to spread some cheer among sick children.<br />
<br />
Number 2. Officer breaks down. Believing that a man he’d stopped was going to pull a weapon on him, a policeman in Billings, Montana drew his own firearm and fatally wounded the individual. Upon realizing the victim wasn’t even armed, the officer collapsed next to a squad car and was inconsolable over what he’d just done.<br />
<br />
Number 1. A sing-along with Katy Perry. Luckily dashcams don’t always record what’s going on in front of police cars, because sometimes the good stuff is going on inside of them. Like this clip showing two Rosenburg, Texas officers lip-syncing to Katy Perry’s hit ‘Dark Horse’. The video made its way to Facebook, and was then viewed and shared all around the world. <br />

10 Things Turkish People Do Better Than Americans

Positioned between the continents of Asia and Europe, Turkey has long been a cultural and political crossroads. Its landscape and civilization are both unique and resilient.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5UazvKHaXJdhERyDgbVrB7BAWh6sJ2O2KwnKfwVD7PuO2Zqv5Hu9DQSpj-1_v1mRrh0a1IqXwCJcjqMGyt-H94STbon6ZHbBj5gXHEJ4aJI-QDcuVpFFvtZKULrxnj8o1J-KFPgnPc_I/s1600/kapali-carsi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5UazvKHaXJdhERyDgbVrB7BAWh6sJ2O2KwnKfwVD7PuO2Zqv5Hu9DQSpj-1_v1mRrh0a1IqXwCJcjqMGyt-H94STbon6ZHbBj5gXHEJ4aJI-QDcuVpFFvtZKULrxnj8o1J-KFPgnPc_I/s1600/kapali-carsi.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Here are 10 things Turkish people do better than Americans.<br />
<br />
Number 10. Reuse buildings. A prime example is the glorious, 14 hundred-year-old Hagia Sophia. It was built as a cathedral, converted to a mosque, and is now enjoyed as a museum. Americans don’t have such a long and storied history to consider and tend to put up new buildings.<br />
<br />
Number 9. Hot air ballooning. Sure, there’s a lot of it going on in many locations across the US. In Turkey, what makes the hot air ballooning unique is the landscape. In a town called Cappadocia, while you are soaring above ground, you can't help but admire the beauty of rock formations down on the surface. These are are home to underground cities dating back to the 4th century. Not surprisingly, it's often rated the world's best location for a hot air balloon ride.<br />
<br />
Number 8. Tea tradition. Tea is more than a beverage in Turkey, it's part of the social fabric of the society. While coffee or soda may be a beverage of choice for many in the US, for folks in Turkey, Turkish tea rules the land. Sipping it while conversing with family and friends is a cherished tradition.<br />
<br />
Number 7. Avoid gun violence. In a ranking of developed countries based on United Nations date on ‘gun related murder rates’, Turkey came in 3rd with the US in 1st. In a different data compilation, the US came in first on both guns per capita and total firearm deaths.<br />
<br />
Number 6. Full-Service Steam baths. Known as hamams, they often include extras such as being buffed, lathered, and massaged. While in the US its customary to follow such services by quickly being on one’s way, in Turkey people can stick around and relax as long as they’d like.<br />
<br />
Number 5. Breakfast. Pop Tarts, stale bagels, and microwave breakfast sandwiches get the job done, but they really don’t satisfy quite like a Turkish morning meal. Among the most popular menu items is an egg dish made with seasoned dried beef and sausage.<br />
<br />
Number 4. Expand the residences of the powerful. US Presidents may get to decorate the White House here and there, but that’s about it. Ottoman Sultans who lived in the Topkapi Palace got to add on entire wings, halls, gardens, and gardens.<br />
<br />
Number 3. Keep sweet traditions. Candy trends come and go so quickly in the US it’s hard to keep track of all but a precious few offerings. The gummy, sugared confection known as the Turkish Delight has, on the other hand, been a mainstay since the 1770s.<br />
<br />
Number 2. Shopping. With 5 thousand shops, Istanbul’s 500-year-old Grand Bazaar makes even the Mall of America look like a mini mart. Also setting it apart is that inside one will find a bevy of unique and handcrafted goods.<br />
<br />
Number 1. History. Granted not exactly a fair comparison since the US is a relatively new country but Turkey's history is one of its great treasures. Over the course of centuries, many powerful rulers left their mark here. Walk around in any one of its historic areas and you will feel the extraordinary rich past of this nation.<br />

10 Things The Dutch Do Better Than Americans

Dutch history is packed with significant achievements in the arts, business, and indoor plumbing, and they continue to outperform numerous countries, including the US, in a variety of areas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAWL4XMGwj5tSQBfru5R5aCzfM8yfxUypqNJkm4qb4eiQ_7jiarre4IhLY6gV9YB33g26Hr9RP139eBomhR67KlHVznIQcZra3HQRD1udImcvBHmjSRU3__I9m04O5-WGFknwGQweB3Pk/s1600/tulipani.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAWL4XMGwj5tSQBfru5R5aCzfM8yfxUypqNJkm4qb4eiQ_7jiarre4IhLY6gV9YB33g26Hr9RP139eBomhR67KlHVznIQcZra3HQRD1udImcvBHmjSRU3__I9m04O5-WGFknwGQweB3Pk/s1600/tulipani.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Here are 10 things the Dutch do better than Americans.<br />
<br />
Number 10. Happiness. According to the World Happiness Report 2013 presented to the United Nations, the Netherlands was awarded the 4th spot. The US landed in 17th place, not entirely bad but not as impressive.<br />
<br />
Number 9. Bicycling. While cycling in major US cities presents a number of challenges, in the Netherlands bikes rule the roads. It’s estimated that 70 percent of all 4-mile-and-under treks are taken on two wheels.<br />
<br />
Number 8. Wooden Shoes. Clogs have been an on-again, off-again trend in American fashion for decades, but among the Dutch, wooden-soled shoes have been found dating back to the 13th century. Prior to the mid 90’s they were even approved for use as safety footwear, although today it’s mostly field workers and tourists who buy them.<br />
<br />
Number 7. Childcare assistance. Those in the Netherlands who have children are given generous sums of money by the government to help meet the high costs of raising kids. Reimbursements for day care are also available.<br />
<br />
Number 6. Speed Skating. During the 2014 Winter Olympics held in Sochi, the Dutch team claimed 23 medals for speedskating, and also set a recent record for most gold medals earned in this event.<br />
<br />
Number 5. Tulips. They’re grown in a lot of places, but only Holland has earned itself the nickname, the ‘flower shop of the world’. The first bulb was planted in the Netherlands in 1593.<br />
<br />
Number 4. Free time. The Dutch put in about 30 percent fewer work hours than Americans do. They make less money, but on average their incomes are only about 18 percent lower. Plus, they don’t spend nearly as much on healthcare.<br />
<br />
Number 3. Remember birthdays. They’re a big deal in the Netherlands, so people make sure they know whom to celebrate when. There it’s common to keep a calendar in the one place individuals know they’ll visit every day – the bathroom.<br />
<br />
Number 2. Height. Folks in US have stopped growing, a trend that some attribute to questionable diet and lifestyle habits. Conversely, the average Dutch male is now 6-foot-1, and the mean for females is 5-foot-8.<br />
<br />
Number 1. Making canals cool. Amsterdam is often called the ‘Venice of the North’ as it has a thriving system of waterways that are used to the full extent of their scenic, recreational, and transportation advantage. Venice, California has a few nice ones too, but they’re not nearly as extensive. <br />

They’re some of the most stylish, gritty, and unforgettable movies of all time. They’re also some of the most violent – hang ‘em high, boys. Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 westerns.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: large;">#10: “True Grit” (2010)</span><br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNC6XiUDo8b1aFjabYRnW9QUTd1g9r4tpyJv16VikWM1vxbw1mDBeTxCW98WTs3B8NcBK-LOdSD7S0qfI6AsQS_4oJIiNw3ZZt_wR_MhAtySnDN9VLD4fs0Qvg9csi3dKgeBiRSBOjDE/s1600/true-grit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNC6XiUDo8b1aFjabYRnW9QUTd1g9r4tpyJv16VikWM1vxbw1mDBeTxCW98WTs3B8NcBK-LOdSD7S0qfI6AsQS_4oJIiNw3ZZt_wR_MhAtySnDN9VLD4fs0Qvg9csi3dKgeBiRSBOjDE/s1600/true-grit.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br>
Rarely is the remake better than the original – especially when the original features a drunken, eye patch-wearing John Wayne. That is unless the redux features a drunken eye patch-wearing Jeff Bridges. While The Duke’s turn as Federal Marshal Rooster Cogburn is and always will be iconic, Bridges’ performance – a product of the Coen Brothers’ far darker, sardonic old west – is braver, less glamorous, and more fitting of a tragic hero who’s helping a young girl avenge her father’s murder.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: large;">#9: “The Outlaw Josey Wales” (1976)</span><br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrA3l2K_j8dIc4VfRQUsdFPQDsLcDUvzjGM88045RL4y5Gn3Wx1Ju-U-X7YXHTeilCyoanGN0GrIegCcN79oUHL4ujG8yYCHLmfclH_9AJOIweroIO_2AM_SIQVstN-voHKMJskP3hkM/s1600/clint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrA3l2K_j8dIc4VfRQUsdFPQDsLcDUvzjGM88045RL4y5Gn3Wx1Ju-U-X7YXHTeilCyoanGN0GrIegCcN79oUHL4ujG8yYCHLmfclH_9AJOIweroIO_2AM_SIQVstN-voHKMJskP3hkM/s1600/clint.jpg" width="544"></a></div><br>
Rule of thumb: if you ever find yourself in a western with Clint Eastwood, try not to kill his whole family…or his whole posse…or his sidekick. Because if you do, bad things will happen to you – very bad things. Made famous by Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns, Eastwood directs himself in a far more sober picture of the Civil War-era west. Don’t worry though, he still shoots lots…and lots…and lots of guys on his quest for vengeance.<br>

Number 10.Chicken Fajita. Even at 99 cents, this item couldn’t make it. Except for in Canada. Some restaurants there still offer it.<br />
<br />
Number 9. McDLT. Mostly, it was just a burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion, but the unique part was that it was presented in a dual-compartment Styrofoam container that kept the hot side hot and the cold side cold. Some attribute its failure to being too much work to put together while others cite growing concerns about Styrofoam and the environment.<br />
<br />
Number 8. McPizza. The pizza industry is huge, and although McDonalds wanted in on the action they weren’t able to break into the market. It debuted in the late 80s and disappeared shortly after.<br />
<br />
Number 7. McAfrika. Served in a pita the sandwich was meant to be a nod to African cuisine. It was interpreted as an insensitive act due to the famine sweeping across southern Africa at the time of the sandwich’s release. Due to public outcries, the item was taken off of the menu.<br />
<br />
Number 6. Onion Nuggets. Originally released to go alongside the Beefsteak sandwich, the plug was pulled on the nuggets in 1979. Apparently, people could not be swayed to stray from the more traditional ring variety.<br />
<br />
Number 5. McGratin Croquette. Believe it or not, the French-sounding food was made for Japanese consumers. Even though the country at large didn’t take to the seafood, mashed potato, and fried macaroni sandwich, it intermittently shows up on the menu there.<br />
<br />
Number 4. McPasta. McDonalds played around with the pasta idea in the 90s, but it never really went anywhere. More recently they decided to try to sell it to the people of Italy. In advance of the menu item launch one paper likened it to a pool party with "the devil and holy water."<br />
<br />
Number 3. McLean Deluxe. Offering a burger option with less than half the fat of a Big Mac sounds like a good idea, but how they leaned down their beef is far from appetizing. Most of the fat was removed from the patty and replaced with water, seaweed extract, and beef flavoring.<br />
<br />
Number 2. Arch Deluxe. A whole lot of money was poured into marketing this burger to adults. Ads even showed Ronald McDonald doing decidedly grown-up things like playing golf.<br />
<br />
Number 1. McHotDog. Even though there was nothing particularly wrong with the offering, customers just didn’t seem to want it. It was deemed to be too random an item for the chain’s well-branded other offerings, so away it went. <br />

10 Things Canadians Do Better Than Americans

The US often overshadows its peaceful, polite neighbors to the north, but that certainly isn't because Canada is lacking in spotlight-worthy attributes.<br />
<br />
Here are 10 things Canadians do better than Americans.<br />
<br />
Number 10. Avoid getting robbed. Only 86 in 100 thousand Canadians are reported victims of the crime. In the US that number is 114.<br />
<br />
Number 9. Apologize. A poll from Queen's University found that 90 percent of Canada's youth say they're sorry when somebody bumps into them. Even a short trip taken on US urban mass transit reveals that America's younger adults handle those types of situations differently.<br />
<br />
Number 8. Socialize from space. No astronaut can match the social media appeal of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. With his easy to follow, fun video snippets from the International Space Station, he captured the world's attention. He has over a million Twitter followers. Buzz Aldrin has just over 800 thousand.<br />
<br />
Number 7. Accept the theory of evolution. Rational minds certainly prevail in Canada, where over 60 percent believe Darwin was legit. Only about 30 percent of US residents feel the same way.<br />
<br />
Number 6. Live longer. Three years longer, on average. Life expectancy is 81 in Canada and just over 78 in the US. The gap has grown in Canada's favor every decade for the last few.<br />
<br />
Number 5. Maintain their middle class. The two countries have similar income figures among the demographic, but that's because Canada's increased while the United States' experienced a sharp decline.<br />
<br />
Number 4. Balancing work and life. Neither country is earning a gold medal in this category, but Canadians definitely do a better job of knowing when to declare a workday done. Only 4 percent of workers there put in over 50 hours a week, compared to over 11 percent that do so in the US.<br />
<br />
Number 3. Gravy Fries. In Canada they call the dish poutine, and it's made of fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy. Many American chefs have tried their hand at reinventing the hangover go-to, but don't quite capture the essence.<br />
<br />
Number 2. Ski Resorts. Conditions and options are superior on the northern side of the border. A comparison between both countries' top resort towns, Whistler and Vail, shows the former as having a greater number of trails, longer runs, and a lot more snow.<br />
<br />
Number 1. Niagara Falls. The Canadian side has long been heralded as the superior of the two viewing options as it offers a panoramic vista of all 3 falls, Bridal Veil, Horseshoe, and American. It's often more crowded, but there's a pretty good reason why.<br />

Here are 10 facts about the Constitution of the United States.<br>
<br>
Number 10. Two of our founding fathers didn't sign it. Thomas Jefferson was off representing the US in France and John Adams was pulling diplomat duty in Great Britain.<br>
<br>
Number 9. It contains spelling errors. Among them is the misspelling of Pennsylvania. Also, many may be relieved to know that even the brainy guys behind the Constitution had a tough time knowing when not to use the apostrophe in 'its'.<br>
<br>
Number 8. The US has the shortest constitution. Among the rule writers of the modern world the early Americans were the most brief. They outlined the laws of the land in only 44 hundred words. For comparison, the longest constitution is India's, which in English has over 117 thousand words.<br>
<br>
Number 7. The US was relatively small when the Constitution was signed. There were only 4 million people in the country, and the largest city, Philadelphia, had a mere 40 thousand residents.<br>
<br>
Number 6. There was a lot of debate about what to call the president. One suggestion was "His Highness the President of the United States of America and Protector of their Liberties." Eventually, the House and Senate settled on President of the United States.<br>

<br>
Sure, Stephen Hawking is a brilliant, groundbreaking scientist, but that's not all the man is about.<br>
<br>
Here are 10 interesting insights into his life and his views.<br>
<br>
Number 10. He believes Earth is on its last legs. He gives the planet a thousand years before it succumbs to its own fragility. Hawking recommends people start shopping around space for a new home base.<br>
<br>
Number 9. Stephen Hawking attended an all-girls school for a time. His family moved to St. Albans while his father was working in a nearby city. It was there that he and a few other boys attended St. Albans High School for Girls.<br>
<br>
Number 8. In his youth his nickname was 'Einstein'. Despite the fact that his grades were mediocre, his aptitude was noticed by teachers and students alike. They were right, as he later earned a nearly perfect score on his Oxford scholarship physics exam -- and went on to become a highly celebrated genius.<br>
<br>
Number 7. He believes black holes are different from what we think they are. The vortices of doom are said to have event horizons, which serve as both an entrance and a point of no return. Hawking says they don't. Rather, they have 'apparent horizons' and only briefly trap energy and matter, later releasing it as radiation.<br>

World's 10 Most Unusual Cars

10 Amazing Facts About Color

Colors from brilliant to beige surround us, but how much do we really know about them?

Here are 10 amazing facts about color.

Number 10. Men and women see it differently. Females are more adept at detecting slight differences between closely related hues, while males tend to see them as being the same. Women have also been shown to be better equipped linguistically when it comes to describing them.

Number 9. Blue is the world's favorite color. Survey after survey has found that typically about half of those asked say they prefer it. That's up to four times more love than the colors that end up in second place, like purple and green, get.

Number 8. The fear of colors has many names. Chromophobia and chromatophobia both describe the general disorder, while fears of many specific colors each have their own label. For example, cyanophobics are struck by feelings of terror when they see blue. Chlorophobics are afraid of greens.

Number 7. Rainbows are much more than they appear. While they look like bands of a handful of colors to us, they actually contain more hues than there are stars in the sky. It's the perception abilities of our eyes that limit the rainbow's range.

Number 6. Bulls aren't really angered by red. What they're responding to when the colored cape is flashed in front of them is the motion. Studies show they get just as worked up by the waving of flags in white and blue.

Number 5. Cats see in color. It's unclear where the belief that cats have black and white vision came from, but regardless of its origin, the information is wrong. They observe the world in color, the hues just aren't as bright as those observed by humans.

Number 4. Colorblindness is an overstatement. For nearly every person who is afflicted by it, it's only colors in a given range that are affected. Most common differentiation problems occur with red, blue and green. There are cases of a complete inability to see color, but they're quite rare.

Number 3. Yellow is noticed first. In tests involving color and peripheral vision, the sunny color was noticed 1 and a quarter times faster than even attention grabbing red. That's why school buses are yellow.

Number 2. Blue is best for gamers. A study in Japan showed that those who binged on video games in a blue environment had a more regular heartbeat than the people who played next to yellow or red walls.

Number 1. Supermarket meat is usually artificially bright red in color. About 70 percent of what people see on the shelves has been treated with carbon monoxide. It reacts with the blood and imparts a vibrant, fresh-from-the-butcher color.

Unique sports. A popular pastime in Brazil is a friendly competition known as footvolley. It’s like beach volleyball, only players use their feet instead of their hands. Given the country’s ample supply of beaches and general love of soccer, melding the two was bound to happen.<br /><br />Number 9. Vacation days. At 41, they have more of them than any other country. 30 of them are paid work leave and the remaining 11 are due to national holidays.<br /><br />Number 8. Table manners. When it comes to eating in the most polite manner possible, Brazilians have it pretty well locked up. It’s common practice to use silverware at all times, even when eating burgers and pizza.<br /><br />Number 7. Outdoor culture. Given the weather they’ve been blessed with, it’s not surprising that Brazilians enjoy a wide variety of activities that take advantage of it. Beaches, sidewalk cafes, and wildlife excursions are but a few of the country’s popular pastimes.<br /><br />Number 6. Juice bars. Not only does Brazil have a lot of them, they are often stocked with some amazing tropical fruits. Caju, camu-camu, and pitanga are just a few ingredient options. Their bananas are also hailed as being the tastiest the world has to offer.<br /><br />Number 5. Soccer World Cup wins. So far, they’ve won the title 5 times. Their first was in 1958 and their most recent happened in 2002.<br /><br />Number 4. Big, splashy parties. Carnival and the New Years’ Reveillon bash are two of the biggest spectacles in the world. There’s also a whole lot of fun that goes on during the rest of the year. Religious holidays, regional celebrations, and arts festivals are just a few of the reasons Brazilians get together and enjoy the good times.<br /><br />Number 3. Coffee production. Brazil is the leader when it comes to producing coffee beans. They’re responsible for producing about 55 million bags a year, of which over 30 million are exported.<br /><br />Number 2. Large religious statuary. Christ the Redeemer, a statue of Jesus Christ which is perched atop Corcovado Mountain, is nearly 125 feet tall.Built in 1931, it’s been named one of the 7 New Wonders of the World.<br /><br />Number 1. Music Influence. This is particularly the case with bossa nova, a mix between samba and jazz. It emerged in the 1950s and was created by a group of students, artists, and musicians embracing and defining their unique bohemian lifestyles and beach culture.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1z13l0" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "ca-pub-6412456300276695"; /* 336x280, stvoreno 2011.08.12 */ google_ad_slot = "2114137887"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; </script><br /><br /><script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br /><script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "ca-pub-6412456300276695"; /* 336x280, stvoreno 2011.08.12 */ google_ad_slot = "2114137887"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; </script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-6412456300276695"; /* novi-1 */ google_ad_slot = "4178019576"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; </script><script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
