♥ Sunday Best ♥ #38

This is a duck's foot pistol, used throughout the 19th century and early 20th century. Considering its multiple barrels, this was the ideal weapon of choice for use by an individual confronting a group and it was actually quite popular amongst bank guards, prison officers and sea captains

If you're in the mood for an emotionally harsh drama, this is a great British film.

I am not sure if this guy was brave or just stupid... But this amateur footage is epic! I wouldn't stand so close to the window. 
And yes, apparently, tornadoes happen in Portugal too.

OH MY GOD! Priceless!

Cat Art.

This sick scene will never get old and is probably the main reason why I always re-watch Ocean's Twelve (even though I like Ocean's Eleven better, obviously).

Here's a light bulb oil lamp! All you have to do is pour paraffin into the bulb and enjoy the light.

Avocado socks!!!

Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio traveled the world and documented what's on family dinner tables around the globe, creating Hungry Planet. I find this project really interesting - the viewers are invited to peek into kitchens from Norway to Kuwait.


I never wear a watch but I'd wear this one!

    I am one of those people that enjoy watching shows like 'Storm Chasers' or 'Tornado Alley' on National Geographic channel. It is quite a powerful environmental happening that I am so fascinated by! Thanks for sharing the video of that Portugal footage. In Sydney Australia we don't ever get tornados however cyclones and typhoons are frequently reported in North Queensland and Western Australia (places no where near I live)

    Também adoro aquela cena do Ocean's Twelve mas prefiro o Ocean's Eleven. Daqueles filmes que se vêem vezes sem conta! As fotografias documentais estão um espetáculo. Tão interessante ver que diferentes culturas comem alimentos diferentes. Espero um dia visitar cada um desses sítios e constatar esse facto por mim mesma :) *
