12 Things to Do with Coca Cola

0 comments

Coca Cola is not only great to drink, it also has many uses around the home.

This list of uses was tested on ordinary, original Coca Cola, not the diet kind, or any of the variations there are available.

1. Cleaned a burned saucepan by pouring Coke into it and boiling. This takes out all the staining.
2. It’s easy to make a modern photograph look like an old sepia one. Just lightly brush the photograph with Coca Cola and dry quickly. Don’t wet it too much or it will buckle. Photocopied black and white pictures make great looking “antique” prints, if you treat them in the same way. Maps photocopied and treated this way, look fantastic in antique style frames.
3. If you dye your hair and the result is too intense, flat Coca Cola will help to lighten it.
4. Give old coins a soak in Coke. This gives a brilliant shine for collections and decorative items.
5. Pour Coca Cola into your kettle and leave all day. This will remove limescale and leaves it clean inside.
6. A can of Coke poured into the toilet will clean it. The acid in the drink gets to work right away.
7. Make an excellent barbecue sauce by mixing Coke and Ketchup , half and half. Coat chicken, meat, etc with this before cooking. It’s mouthwatering.
8. Flat Coke makes a good hair conditioner. Pour it over your hair, rinse and dry.
9. Put Coke into flat wide dishes in the garden and it will help to rid your plants of slugs. They are attracted by the sweet smell and once they fall in, they can’t get out.
10. Rusty bolts can be loosened by soaking a rag in Coca Cola, and wrapping it around the bolt. Leave for a few hours and it will be easier to move.
11. Clean your jewelery in a glass of Coke. Brush with a toothbrush and rinse well. (Not recommended for valuable items, or those with gem stones in them.)
12. Flat Coca Cola helps to settle upset stomachs. Don’t use fresh, fizzy Coke as this could irritate the condition. (Take the fizz out by adding a little sugar, if you need to.)

5 Animals Most In Need of a Haircut

0 comments

Regardless of what you think of body or facial hair, nature again is one step ahead when making animals’ coats look good and practical: As defense mechanism, heat protection, natural filter or simply cuteness enhancer – excess hair or fur in animals always has a special purpose. We found five critters that could definitely do with a trim.

5. Tarantulas

The Chilean Rose Tarantula (Grammostola rosea) is characterised by its brown colour and ample pinkish or orange-red hair. The medium to large spider is a native of South America, specifically Chile’s Atacama Desert.

Though Grammostolas usually tend to run away from danger rather than defend themselves, they may raise their front legs and present their fangs in preparation to fight. Their main defense mechanism are the urticating or barbed hairs that they kick off, usually from their abdomens, aiming for the attacker’s skin or eyes to cause physical irritation. This strategy is common to New World tarantulas, i.e. those native to the Americas, which tend to be the hairiest species.

Believe it or not – the Chilean Rose Tarantula is a popular pet, especially with tarantula enthusiasts just starting out because of its docile nature.

4. Emperor Tamarins

The tamarin (Sanguinas ursula) is an about-squirrel-sized New World Monkey native to an area ranging from Costa Rica and southern Central America to the Amazon basin and north Bolivia. There are many tamarin species that differ considerably in colouration and appearance. Among the moustached tamarins, the Emperor Tamarin with its long, white moustache is probably the most striking.

What are you looking at?

It is believed that the Emperor Tamarin (Sanguinus imperator) was named after German emperor William II who sported an equally impressive moustache. The Emperor Tamarin prefers the tropical rain forest as its habitat and spends most of its day in the trees, jumping around during the day and sleeping at night.

Emperor Tamarins live together in a matriarchal structure with the oldest female leading the group of two to eight animals, including mature males. Various specific cries help these primates identify impostors quickly. Also remarkable about the Emperor Tamarins is that they form mixed-species associations with Brown-mantled Tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis).

3. Bearded Pigs

The Bearded Pig (Sus barbatus) is a native of the rain- and mangrove forests of Southeast Asia, particularly the eastern Philippines, Sumatra and Borneo, which is why it is also known as the Bornean Bearded Pig. As the name suggests, the pig’s most striking feature is the yellowish beard covering its snout.

Bearded Pigs were first successfully bred at San Diego Zoo:

Unlike domestic pigs, Bearded Pigs are quite lean with thin legs and a long head. The rest of their bodies are only sparsely covered by grey or dark brown fur. Like the Emperor Tamarin, Bearded Pigs are diurnal animals – active during the day and sleeping at night – that live in families.

Remarkable is that these animals undertake an annual journey of several hundred kilometers when changing seasons require them to find new food sources. They are capable of remembering previous routes and tend to stick to them. This is often to their disadvantage as Bearded Pigs are hunted for food in some areas of Southeast Asia. Extensive hunting has minimized their numbers so that their conservation status is now considered vulnerable.

2. Komondors

The Komondor is a breed of large Hungarian livestock guarding dog, easily identified by its long, white corded coat. It was first mentioned in a Hungarian codex in 1544 and is considered one of Hungary’s national treasures today.

Natural dreadlocks – the Komondor:

The Komondor’s natural guarding instinct and vigilance make it the perfect pet for rural and farm settings. The dog usually rests during the day, keeping an eye on the surroundings, but gets active at night when it moves around and patrols its area. It is said that Komondors will allow intruders to enter but not to leave, keeping them down until their owners arrive.

Who are you calling a mop?

Contrary to what one may believe, once corded, the Komondor’s 20-27 cm long coat does not shed much. Sometimes the cords need untangling and after a bath, Komondors take about two and a half days to dry! They are by far the canines with the most amount of fur. The coat is the dog’s defense mechanism as it will protect it from attackers, wolf bites for example.

1. Angora Rabbit

Though we are deeply impressed with the Komondor’s shaggy mane, our number one is the Angora Rabbit. This critter just seems to be nothing but fur! Not surprisingly, Angora Rabbits are bred because of their long Angora wool, which is removed by shearing, plucking or combing. Today, there are many individual breeds.

The Angora Rabbit originated in Ankara, Turkey and is the oldest type of domestic rabbit. There’s also an Angora Cat and an Angora Goat but neither of them is as furry as the Angora Rabbit. The latter was popular with French royalty around 1650 and soon in other parts of Europe.

Sorry, can’t see you:

The furry coat protects the rabbit in cold climates and needs to be shorn in the summer if the animal is kept in too warm a region to prevent overheating.

Reasons Why Men Like Anal Sex

0 comments

We’ve come along way when it comes to sex, and we’ve come an even longer way when it comes to anal sex. Gone are the days of thinking that anal sex was something that only homosexuals do; nowadays, 25% of heterosexual couples engage in anal sex on a regular basis.

And while some of you may cringe at the mere thought of letting a penis into your butt, if you gave it an open-hearted chance, you may find that you enjoy it more than you imagine.

And despite what you might have heard or read, anal sex is not dangerous if done right, and it should never cause pain. If it does, either you’re not ready or your man is simply not patient enough to move in slowly.

If you’re still hesitant about giving in to your man’s fantasy of having anal sex with you, perhaps my shedding some light on why he wants it will help.

1. It gives us a sense of power …

Although it sounds very territorial, the fact that we control the situation and lay on top of you is very empowering. As well, you put your sexual satisfaction (or perhaps, lack thereof) in our hands, entrusting us with your pleasure sense.

Men love the idea of entering you from behind and relish in the thought of sparking all those anal nerve endings and giving you the ultimate climax. And if you enjoy it and reach orgasm because of it, we really do want to sit up and beat our chests with pride.

2. You trust us …

The fact that you’re letting us into a part of yourself that requires the utmost trust gives us a really fantastic feeling within. And no, it’s not just a sexual one.

If you’re nervous about anal sex and you agree to try it with us, it makes us feel like a million bucks; our woman is putting all her trust into the fact that we will be caring and loving and not rip her anus in two. It means the world to us.

3. It’s something new …

While vaginal sex is simply fantastic, to say the least, at some point, everything becomes the norm. So when the topic of anal sex arises, you can bet that our radar perks up a bit and we become giddy about the prospect of something sexy and new.

Like having sex with a new woman or engaging in a threesome , anal sex represents a part of all the crazy things we’d like to one day do in bed. And if you enjoy it half as much as we do, well it makes it that much sweeter.

4. We love your butt …

Your butt is awesome and most men enjoy getting up close and personal with women’s butts. So when we get to have sex with the very butt that we’ve spent so much time admiring, you can bet that we feel like we’ve hit the jackpot.

Climbing on top of you and placing our penis within your anal cavity may not sound half as fascinating to you, but couple that with our ability to caress and perhaps spank your bottom spontaneously, and life is good for men.

5. It’s very tight …

No matter how great you are at performing Kegel exercises, there’s a pretty good chance that your butt hole will always be tighter than your vaginal one. Keep in mind that the vagina was designed to bring a child into the world; the butt, not so much.

So when we get access to this sacred area of your body, we know that our penis will feel the squeeze of tightness coming from your anus. And although you will never understand the sensation because you can never fully feel it yourself, you need to know that the sensation is unlike anything else a man will ever experience.

A man who loves anal sex is not weird or gay or any of those things that used to be associated with anal sex. He is simply a man who enjoys the company of his woman and wants to explore her body to the depths, which includes feeling her from the back.
