Pilot Whales Slaughtered

More than 120 pilot whales, slaughtered on July 23, 2010, are pictured on docks in the harbor of Torshavn, Faroe Islands, an autonomous province of Denmark. Every year, herds of pilot whales (Globicephala melaena) pass by the shores of the Faroe Islands. In the past fishermen used spears and harpoons, but today the whale hunting equipment is legally restricted to special knives, ropes, and assessing-poles for measurement.

Lady Gaga Raw Meat Dress

Photo of Lady Gaga in raw meat dress. Do you think her raw meat dress is awesome or disgusting?

Lady Gaga Meat Dress

This dress is an obvious attempt to overwhelm the sensibilities of the viewers of the show and to draw outrage and anger, but overall is a device to capture attention. It seems to have been successful to a certain extent. In a world where the TV is on, people are hooked with the Internet and texting all the same time, each media it trying desperately to grab the all too fickle attention span of the viewers.

World's Largest Clock - Abraj al-Bait Clocks

Saudi Arabia is hoping that the debut of what is said to be the world's largest clock in Islam's holiest city of Mecca will help establish the city as an alternative time standard to the Greenwich meridian.

World's Largest Clock - Abraj al-Bait  Clocks

The new four-faced clock, which looms over Mecca's Grand Mosque and is perched atop what is expected to be the world's second tallest building when completed, is to enter a three-month trial period this week -- the first week of the holy month of Ramadan.

World's Largest Clock - Abraj al-Bait  Clocks

Situated in the heart of the massive Abraj al-Bait complex -- comprising hotels, shopping malls and conference centers -- the clock will run on Arabia Standard Time, three hours ahead of the Universal Time standard. Each of the clock's four faces are 151 feet in diameter and will be illuminated by 2 million LED lights, along with huge Arabic script reading: "In the Name of Allah." Another 21,000 white and green colored lights, fitted at the top of the clock, will flash to as far as 19 miles to signal Islam's five-times daily prayers.

The clock reflects a goal to replace the 126-year-old Universal Time standard, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is seen as "colonial" by some Muslims. "Putting Mecca time in the face of GMT -- this is the goal," Mohammed al-Arkubi, manager of one of the hotels in the complex, told The Telegraph.

World's Largest Clock - Abraj al-Bait  Clocks

With the global population of Muslims growing at a rapid rate, the building project is part of the Saudi government's plan to enable Mecca to accommodate as many as 10 million pilgrims each year. And for Mecca residents, the plan already seems to be successful.

"Before, we heard and saw famous clocks in the West," Ahmed Harleem, an Egyptian living in Mecca, told AFP. "But today, we can as Muslims be proud of this giant project ... it means an honor for a place, and time for me."

Golden Yellow Lobster

It's not made of gold, but a yellow lobster pulled from Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay is very rare.

Lobsterman Denny Ingram says he found the lobster in one of his pots the bay's East Passage last week. It is golden on the top and bright yellow on both sides.

Golden Yellow Lobster

Experts say the genetic feature is very rare, occurring in about 1 in 30 million lobsters.

It's also apparently good luck for this lobster, who will not be heading to anyone's dinner table.

Ingram says he plans to keep the yellow lobster on display at the fishermen's co-op at the State Pier in Newport.

Capital Gate - World's Furthest Leaning Tower

When it comes to leaning, Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa can no longer claim to going the furthest.

That honor goes to the Capital Gate building in Abu Dhabi, which was recently certified as being the furthest-leaning tower in the world by the Guinness Book of Records. The building leans at 18 degrees, which is nearly five times that of the Tower of Pisa.
Capital Gate - World's Furthest Leaning Tower

However, unlike the Tower of Pisa, the Capital Gate was built to lean. After the 12th floor the floor plates are staggered to achieve the 18 degree lean.
