				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lure Hsu, a 41-year-old interior designer and fashion blogger, had already been attracting lots of attention online for her incredibly youthful looks, but people recently discovered that eternal youth runs in her family. Lure&#8217;s two sisters, 36-year-old Sharon, and 40-year old FayFay, both look like they are in their early 20s, and their 63-year-old mother looks like their older sister.</p>
<p>Just when people were starting to come to terms with the fact that Lure Hsu is actually in her 40s, photos of her sisters and mother starting showing up in Taiwanese media, and everyone lost their minds once again. The four Hsu women are now being called &#8220;the family of frozen ages&#8221; by the media in their country, while some people claim that they must be descendants of vampires. Truth be told, they do all look suspiciously young for their age.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In what many are calling the lie of the century, a die-hard football fan from Puebla, Mexico, told his wife that he was stepping out to buy a pack of cigarettes, but ended up boarding a plane to Germany, and then driving to Russia, to see his national football team play in the Confederations Cup.</p>
<p>Antonio Garcia recently got his five minutes of fame on the internet, after news of his escapade to Mexico&#8217;s match against Russia, in Kazan, went viral on social media. The man had reportedly told his wife that he was going out to buy a pack of cigarettes, buy he actually travelled to Monterey, where he got on a plane to Wolfsburg, Germany, where some of his relatives live, and from there he drove to Kazan, Russia, where he joined hundreds of other Mexican fans in supporting the national football team.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A hoodie isn&#8217;t really the kind of thing you ever consider passing on to your children and grandchildren, but then again, most hoodies aren&#8217;t made from Kevlar or designed to outlast their wearer.</p>
<p>Adventure clothing brand Vollebak has been in the business of creating &#8220;cutting edge adventure sports clothing using insights and discoveries from fields as diverse as neuroscience, physiology, material technology and space exploration&#8221; for years. Their previous products include a fabric that uses nanotechnology to camouflage things like sweat, salt, dirt and even blood, and an abrasion-resistant jacket able to scar rock and tolerate high-speed falls of up to 120 km/h. But their latest invention is easily the most impressive &#8211; an ultra-durable hoodie designed to outlive its wearer.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a friend and &#8220;crow expert&#8221; told Katsufumi Sato to hang some &#8220;do not enter signs&#8221; on the outside of a building to keep pesky crows a way, the Japanese professor thought he was only kidding, but after three years of employing the bizarre strategy, he says it works perfectly.</p>
<p>Sato, a professor of ethology, hanged his first &#8220;crows do not enter&#8221; signs at a university research center in Otsuchi, Japan&#8217;s Iwate Prefecture, in 2015, at the the advice of his friend, Tsutomu Takeda, who he regards as an expert on crows. The birds had been targeting the insulation material covering the building&#8217;s pipes, ripping it with their beaks and flying away with bits of it to use for their nests. He was desperate to keep them away, so even though he though the idea of hanging written signs for crows funny, he was willing to give it a try.</p>

<p>If you don&#8217;t feel like doing the laundry or taking your clothes to a dry-cleaner, or if you simply want to get rid of a nasty smell like that of sweat or cigarette smoke, Panasonic&#8217;s new $180 hanger can make your life a lot easier. All you have to to is plug it in a power supply, hang your smelly clothes on it and turn it on. The gadget allegedly takes between 5 and 7 hours to neutralize even the most stubborn odors.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people look younger than their age, but 23-year-old Tomislav Jurčec, from Zagreb, Croatia, is an extreme case. Due to a fault in his pituitary gland, which controls growth and ageing, he remains stuck in the body of a 13-year-old kid.</p>
<p>Tomislav admits that looking 10 years younger than his actual age does have disadvantages. like having to produce an ID when buying restricted goods like cigarettes and alcohol, but he always prefers to look at the glass half full. And he has plenty of reasons to do so. For starters, his youthful looks and diminutive stature have helped him land an acting gig on HBO&#8217;s hit show Game of Thrones, where he worked as Peter Dinklage&#8217;s stand-in and as the uncredited &#8220;Hero Corps Child&#8221;.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A woman visiting a jewelry market in China&#8217;s Yunnan Province passed out after accidentally dropping a jade bracelet worth 180,000 yuan ($26,500) and splitting it in half.</p>
<p>The unwritten rule of &#8220;you break it, you buy it&#8221; is usually ignored by business owners when customers accidentally break beverage bottles, clothing items or other mundane products, but when it comes to trying out expensive jewelry, it&#8217;s generally a good idea to be extra cautious, because you&#8217;ll probably have to pay for it if you break it. A female tourist visiting the Ruili Jiegao Jade market on Tuesday found that out the hard way, after accidentally dropping a jadeite bracelet and splitting it in half. When she learned that the item in question had a 300,000 yuan ($44,100) price tag and that the seller wanted compensation, she passed out.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We often hear about the insane amounts of trash we as a species currently generate, but words and figures don&#8217;t make a very big impact on most people. Images work much better, so one French artist decided to actually show just how much trash a single human being generates over time. To do that, he stopped throwing away recyclable trash for four years.</p>
<p>Antoine Repessé stopped throwing away recyclable waste like plastic bottles, toilet paper tubes or newspapers back in 2011, storing it in his apartment, instead. That wasn&#8217;t a big issue at first, but as time went by, trash started covering the floor of his home, and soon began piling up and covering every available space. After four years of collecting trash, Repessé&#8217;s apartment ended up looking like the home of one of those extreme hoarders you see on TLC.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re sleeping, you&#8217;re not eating. That&#8217;s basically the main idea behind the Sleeping Beauty Diet, an increasingly popular weight loss method that encourages people to take sedatives in order to sleep for up to 20 hours a day and skip meals.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to even consider the Sleeping Beauty Diet an actual diet, because it doesn&#8217;t prescribe the things you should eat those you should avoid. Instead, it just recommends a lot less eating and whole lot of sleeping. Advocates claim that apart from the obvious &#8220;benefit&#8221; of reducing calorie intake, this controversial weight-loss method also takes  advantage of our bodies&#8217; ability to regulate our metabolism through sleep, which accelerates weight-loss even more. However, there isn&#8217;t a lot of science that supports this theory, and even if there were, the risks of undergoing such an extreme regimen still outweigh the benefits by quite a large margin.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Photos of a five-storey building in the Chinese city of Chongqing have been going viral on social media, for the simple fact that the building in question has a flat roof that also doubles as a road that cars actually drive on.</p>
<p>Before we go into details about this particular architectural oddity, it&#8217;s worth mentioning that Chongqing has a reputation for unusual architecture and infrastructure. Its terrain is mainly made up of hill slopes, and this lack of flat building space has basically forced architects and urban planners to think outside the box in order to come up with feasible solutions. Some of their most famous creations include a sprawling road interchange with 15 ramps going in eight different directions, 13-storey-high pedestrian bridges and the world-famous <a href="http://www.odditycentral.com/architecture/crowded-chinese-city-has-train-passing-straight-through-19-floor-residential-building.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">apartment building that has a train passing straight through it</a>.</p>
