“This monster snack is the world’s meatiest sandwich - crammed from bottom to top with 41 different cuts of meat including sausages, ham, turkey and - of course - bacon. Before you tuck in you ought to have planned for a long lunch break as this megawich will take an overwhelming ten hours to eat.
The massive sarnie, dubbed a ‘carnivore’s dream’, stands a whopping 15 inches high, 24 inches wide and tips the scales at more than two stones (28 lbs). It contains 1,445 grams (3 lbs) of ham, two kilograms (2.2 lbs) of salami, turkey and bacon, one kilogram of sausages and 720 grams (1.5 lbs) of chorizo. Hidden among the meat is cheese and gherkins and if you look carefully you might even be able to spot some salad between the cuts.
It was made by British chef and restaurateur Tristan Welch to mark the launch of TV programme Man v. Food Nation on Food Network UK. The new show sees host Adam Richman travelling through the United States encouraging people to take on daring food challenges. Luckily for all meat lovers Mr Welch has shared the recipe online so that brave diners can take on the challenge at home.”

These are fantastic digital manipulations by Dutch artist, Koen Hauser. As part of the series Modische Atlas der Anatomie, Hauser takes a female subject, photographs her body in certain frozen poses, and then digitally adds/removes her skin to reveal organs and internal body structures. Pretty awesome.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (Reuters) — A granite sphinx with the head of Cleopatra’s father emerged on Wednesday from the choppy waters of Alexandria harbor after 1,600 years under water.
Divers led by French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio winched the superbly-preserved sphinx, bolted into a steel frame, onto the deck of research vessel Princess Dudu.The city, where the lives of Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony intertwined, disappeared beneath the sea more than 1,600 years ago after a series of earthquakes and flood waves.
They also brought up a stunning statue of the Great Priest of Isis holding an urn, thought to have been part of a sanctuary of Isis on Antirhodos island, the focus of this year’s underwater excavations in Alexandria bay.“This is one of the most beautifully preserved statues of its kind and very rare,” Goddio told reporters, referring to the 250 kg (550 pound) priestly statue from the first century AD.
