China Opens World's Longest Sea Bridge

China has unveiled the world’s longest sea bridge, which stretches a massive 26.4 miles – five miles further than the distance between Dover and Calais and longer than a marathon.


The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, completed earlier this week, links the main urban area of Qingdao city, East China’s Shandong province, with Huangdao district, straddling the Jiaozhou Bay sea areas.

The road bridge, which took four years and cost a cool £5.5billion to build, will be open for use in the New Year and is almost three miles longer than the previous record-holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana.

Yoda is Named World's Ugliest Dog

Meet Yoda, man's worst-looking best friend. A 14-year-old Chinese-crested and Chihuahua mix was declared World's Ugliest Dog at California's Sonoma Marin Fair. Yoda clinched the unorthodox beauty contest with his poofs of hair, hairless legs and overall unsightliness.


Yoda weighs only 1.8 pounds and his owner says she first thought he was a rat before learning he was really a tiny dog. Yoda has been the family's pet since he was two years old. He was found abandoned in a field.

Michel de Broin Builds World’s Biggest Disco Ball

Make the entire world your disco. I bet that’s what French artist Michel de Broin thought to himself when he decided to create the world’s largest disco-ball.

It might sound like a crazy idea, but Michael de Broin actually did it. Using a 7.5 meter disco-ball, featuring 1,000 mirror pieces, the artist managed to light up Paris on a winter night. He did so by hanging the giant disco-ball 50 meters up, using a giant crane, and projecting light onto it.

The ball was hung up in the Jardin de Luxumburg and the light effects that covered Paris were more than worth the effort of bulding the whole installation. plus now Michel de Broin could enter the record books for the World’s Largest Disco-Ball.
