The Largest Mud Brick Building in the World

The Great Mosque of Djenné, Mali a World Heritage Site is the World's Largest Mud-brick Building. It was built around 1908, though a mosque existed at this site from early 13th century. Like the earlier mosque this mosque is also made entirely of mud-brick, mud mortar and mud based plaster. The covered hall is about 50 x 24 metres.

Although not very well known, but after the Sphinx and Pyramids, it is one of the most famous land marks in Africa. Its popularity can be gauged by the fact that two buildings across the world are its replica. More image over here.

World's Most Expensive Shotgun

The Swedish company VO Vapen, which manufactures an exclusive weapon. Today, the company produces the most luxurious hunting rifles that are made ​​entirely by hand. All products are very limited edition: the year is only a few guns. The price of this unique weapon is 820,000 dollars, making it the most expensive gun in the world. It is more expensive than a good home.
























Ridiculous Bacon Bazooka

This weird bazooka was created for this year’s Bacon Day. A three-foot long, battery-operated weapon encased in 15 pounds of piggy goodness.

If you're not terribly impressed with the force of the Bacon Bazooka, please do keep in mind that it's firing a summer sausage here—a model rocket would yield much better results. And for those concerned about the waste of precious sizzlin strips, rest assured that all of the meat was donated and well past its expiration date.
