search for the most beautiful cars was primarily guided by one criterion - undoubtful and unmistakable beauty, as much as it is possible to use that term when referring to cars. It is a rather ungrateful theme, since beauty is very subjective and impossible to generalize.

Jaguar E Type

1930 Mercedes-Benz Count Trossi SSK

Bugatti Veyron 16.4

It is one of the fastest, the most expensive, the most powerful and the most beautiful cars of our time.

It is the beauty and the beast at the same time. The provocative and futuristic Zonda design

Ferrari Dino

Rolls-Royce Phantom

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

The DB4 Zagato appeared in 1960, and was produced for only two years. During that time, only 19 cars were built

The Male Body vs The Female Body

1. Women might actually be the stronger sex. A report called The Fragile Male

2. Men are believed to have a higher pain threshold. While some believe that women are hard-wired with a greater ability to handle pain in order to allow them to bear children, studies (such as those involving men and women submerging their arms in icy cold water and measuring how long they can withstand the pain) have suggested that men can tolerate a greater level of pain.

3. Women have stronger immune systems

4. The muscles in a woman's heart are typically less elastic

5. The male and female bodies process drugs differently.

6. We eat differently, especially when influenced by society's definition of ideal body image.

7. The bile in a woman's liver is different

8. Food typically takes longer to pass through a woman's digestive tract

9. A woman's skin is more likely to become wrinkled than a man's. (Source)

10. On a man's hand, the fourth finger is typically longer than the second.

This post covers 35 extremely beautiful and perfectly executed HDR-pictures. Some of them might look surreal, too colorful, even magic or fake, but they are not — keep in mind that they’ve all been developed out of usual photos, and not a single image is an illustration.

Looking east from a location southwest of Ireland, an astronaut took this nighttime panorama of population centers in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Image ISS016-E-27034 was taken on February 1, 2008, using a 28 mm lens.

what about humanity’s signature footprint—cities? By day, cities viewed from space can blend into the countryside, or appear as gray smudges, depending on the style of development and size of the urban area.

Orange sodium vapor lights illuminate the port facilities of Long Beach, California, supporting the round-the-clock operations of one of the world’s busiest commercial cargo ports. Image ISS016-E-27162 was taken on February 4, 2008, using the 400 mm lens, providing superior resolution.

"This is a picture is really a monument to all that humankind hasn't learned yet."

That is stunning. So many different colored galaxies.. I wonder what determines whether a galaxy is orange or blue/violet.. just ridiculous.

I think every single person on Earth should see this. It's truly humbling.

Incredible. Absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I've ever seen so many galaxies concentrated in one picture. The size scope is practically unimaginable.

It's definitely real. http://hubblesite.org has a lot of pictures similar to that for those who are interested.
