The largest shoe in the world
The largest shoe measures 5.50 m (18 ft 0.53 in) x 2.11 m (6 ft 11.07 in) and is 2.90 m (9 ft 6.17 in) high and was unveiled by the Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp (Netherlands) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 17 November 2010, in celebration of Guinness World Records Day 2010. The largest shoe is an exact replica of a Converse Chuck Taylor All Star equivalent of a UK size 845. A Converse Chuck Taylor All Star European size 39 was used as a model for the largest shoe.

The weirdest mug shot ever
Miami law arrested Carlos Rodriguez when he tried to offer $ 80 an undercover cop for sex with him. So far an ordinary case. But when the man was photographed in custody, police were shocked to find that man almost half his head missing, according liveleak.com.
There's clearly something off with Carlos Rodriguez’s skull. As the profile shot reveals, it's that he's missing most of it.
And no, it's not Photoshop.
The Miami New Times swears the photos were not altered in any way, and his mugshot from a separate arrest a month ago pretty much confirms that.
From the police report for his November arrest, there was a box to be filled out labeled "unique physical features." One wonders how long they deliberated before writing in "Half a Head."

Hobbit's holes
Hobbiton (Hobbit's holes) was built on a private sheep farm in New Zealand. Initially, the scenery was built for the movie "Lord of the Rings", after which the majority of decorations were destroyed, but something remains.
After the film was finished the farm upon which the Hobbit village was created asked if some of the hobbit homes could remain to serve as an additional tourist attraction to the area.
However, it does look as if the sheep have discovered a new home and evicted the previous hobbit owners. The idea has been successful - now the farm is visited by approximately 300 people a day.
Price of three-hour Hobbiton tour will cost $ 50.
