"The Gates of Hell" - Flaming Crater in Darvaza, Turkmenistan

From a small country north of Iran and south of Kazakhstan in a small town of less than 300 people out in the middle of the Kara-Kum Desert...

These flames have been burning for 37 years!




How did it get there?

"Darvaza underground is naturally rich in natural gas. In 1971, during a drilling, geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground on which the drilling rig was placed collapsed, leaving a large gaping hole exposed with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gases coming out of the hole, it was decided to let the gases burn. As of 2008, gases in the underground cavern are still burning without interruption. Locals have named the cavern "The Door to Hell"." - From Wikipedia

Windex with Vinegar



From Uncrate.com:

If you've been down the cleaning aisle lately, you might recall feeling a bit overwhelmed. There are cleaners for all purposes (and all-purpose cleaners), situations, lifestyles, age, smells, you name it. It seems companies just can't stop producing crap to clean with. If you're fed up with all the pressure from picking the right cleaning product, then Windex has produced one that is slightly redeeming of its multiple perpetrations against cabinet clutter (and the environment). Windex with Vinegar ($5) uses a special solution blended with vinegar that cuts through virtually any piece of scum you can throw at it. Safe for kitchens, bathrooms, tables and whatever, it's the ultimate cleaning product for the guy who can't be troubled with cleaning products. You're welcome.
