Nerds vs Athletes: An interesting Analysis

There are hobbyists who have the hobby of analyzing things and sometimes come up with fascinating and interesting analyses.

I today came across such an analysis at Run of the Web and I thought of sharing some of its details about Micheal Jordan - the Athlete!!

The analysis concludes that Micheal Jordan who is retired with $40 Million in endorsements, makes $178,100 a day, working or no working.

And here are some of the interesting parts of the analysis:

  • If he goes to a movie, it will cost him $7, but he will make $18,550 while in the cinema.
  • If he decides to boil an egg for five minutes, he will make $618 boiling it.
  • If you were given a penny for every $10 he made, you'd be living comfortably at $ 65,000 a year.
  • This year he will make more than twice as much as all U past presidents for all of their terms combined.
  • And if he wants to buy a new Mercedes Maybach 57S (costing $356,000), it would take him a whole 2 days.
Amazing isn't it?

But what about the nerds? If Micheal Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 450 years, he will still have less than ------ has today. Find out who the nerd is!! : Run of the Web

Magnificent Beard and Mustaches Competition, Brussels

Hobbyists and fun lovers are never short of ideas and that too innovative ones. Although keeping beards and mustaches by men has been in vogue since time immemorial, there are some who make this routine in to a hobby and competitive sport.

And one of such competitive hobbies is keeping big and beautiful beards and mustaches. I recently came across a few photographs of such people at Funzug and I thought of sharing these wonderfully kept big mustaches by hearty people and participants of a competition. 

A recently held at Brussels' battle of the beards explains how men can proudly display their masculinity with furry mustaches. These remarkable examples of facial topiary were pictured at a competition for best moustache in Brussels, Belgium. Proudly whiskered gentleman from all over the region for the event, which was won by a man identified only as Jef. His gravity defying facial follicles stretched the usual definition of moustache, incorporating as it did much of the beard from his cheeks as well.

Scroll down to see how majestic these people look:

The Northern Lights are one of nature's most spectacular visual phenomena, and in this time lapse video they provide a breathtaking display of light, shape, and color over the course of a single night in Norway.
