6 World Most Extreme Cultural Facial Modification

6. THE APATANI PLUG

Living in the Ziro dell in the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India’s northeast, the women of the Apatani tribe were regarded as the most beautiful females among all the Arunachal tribes. Unfortunately, since everyone likes beautiful ladies, they were invaded by people from other tribes and so, they had to make themselves look ugly to repel any invader. In order to remain safe from the intruders, the Apatani women started to plug wooden corks in their noses, which is a custom not braced by the younger members of the 26,000 people-strong tribe today.

5.DINKA’S FACE MARKING

You would definitely start shouting if a wizard brings a hot knife near you but be advised, for those Dinka boys and girls out there, this won’t be a ‘fight or flight’ situation. Instead, if they cry while the wizard is messing with their skin, they are going to mix their respect in mud. Facial scarification is a deadly custom (for most of us) established all over Sudan. Countless marks across the faces of tribesmen are meant for the identity of their tribe or craziest, beauty for women. With a rugged display of courage to the tribe, many of the Dinka members scratch their faces with three similar lines across their temple. As a side note, getting scars by a Dinka boy marks their transition to manhood.

4.THAI MEN’S PIERCING

vegetarian festival in Phuket boasts trance and heavy piercing by the local Thais. Just like the Dinka boys draw scars in their face, the Thai men put sharp bits and pieces (mostly metal things) right through their cheeks. To show that they are adults or as an act of dedication for themselves and for the entire public, the Thai men take piercing metals through their cheeks very easy. During the piercing session, which is held in October each year, other interesting activities include walking over hot coal and climbing ladder with bladed steps.

3. Tooth Sharpening

Tooth sharpening is nothing but manually brushing up the front incisors. Many cultures accept tooth sharpening like in Bali people, who regard teeth as sign of anger, jealousy, and other similarly negative emotions. Other than this, the teeth are sharpened by teenagers as a rite of passage. The Aborigines had also used teeth filling for various spiritual ‘whys and wherefores’, almost similar to classified Vietnamese and Sudanese tribes. Some people might even sharpen their teeth to look like animals as suggested by their culture or simply to get rid of a mandibular tooth during puberty.

2. The Lip Plate

Large discs are implanted right into a pricked hole in either the upper or lower lip (or both) and in so doing, elongating the skin. The discs are either made of clay, wood or plastic. This tradition is being upheld by a few groups in Africa and Amazonia. A lower lip plate is usually joined with two or more front teeth in Africa. While, the Sara and Lobi people insert the disc into the superior lip. The size of the disc is also a sign of social or economic importance in select tribes. One of the most extreme Cultural Body Modifications.

1. The KAYAN Coin

The Kayan women of Northern Thailand wear round brass coil around their necks and that’s the reason why they are popular. They are also known as ‘giraffe women’ (because their necks are awkwardly long) and they can insert upto 25 coils at once plus, those coils may never take off. It has been said that these women would not be able to support their neck or their neck would break but in fact, it’s not true. When children reach 5, they are given their first dose of coil.

5. Smeller

Surely no one thinks that while dreams of a career in science can do as smeller. In fact, there is such a profession.

It does not always suck when the dough smells of perfume or other scented cleaners.

But when it comes to testing the smell of people, different foods, and others, it may be quite a stinky job…

4. GRAVE-DIGGER

Everybody thinks that digging graves is easy. Only digging and digging, trying not to get drunk enough to fall into the grave. But not only that. The undertaker should work with measures to know how to hold and handle shovel.

Many of the gravediggers, while attending the funeral, even should soothe mourners. So unless nasty, difficult and responsible work of the caretaker it is very psychological.

Not to mention what stories can write a gravedigger, if there is little time between funerals, several bottles of alcohol, desire and a computer.

3. CRIME SCENE CLEANER

When there is a crime scene, there is usually a mess. If there is a murder, even more – the human debris everywhere, blood, etc.

Once investigators and all the pundits who should examine the scene and say their word leave, the cleaners come. It is not a nice work.

Cleaning anything, especially public toilets is not so cool.

2. Animal Masturbators

And what if you have a master’s degree?! Animals need love!

Usually those who studied fertility and reproduction, including artificial insemination of various species must roll up their sleeves and tuck their fist in the annals of animals or in other words just use the old reliable method for ‘ejecting’ species.

Larger animals, such as horses usually respond to a fist, while smaller are content with your finger.

1. Sewer Cleaner

We do not know what a man should have done in his previous life to work something like this.

Probably to burn down a church or something similar.

We cannot otherwise explain why the Lord would have sent him all day into the sewers – among people yuk, dead or alive rats, the awful smell and working for pennies.

5 Things Invented Because Of Beer

5. Refrigerator

Fridges keep our food fresh and safe for our consumption. They are absolutely critical to our survival and the way we have flourished in the modern world. We also use them to keep our beers nice and cold, which is actually what they were created for.

Brewing traditionally only took place during the cooler months, as it is an exothermic process. It generates heat, and too much heat can kill the yeast and ruin the beer. For hundreds of years, blocks of ice were harvested and stored in cellars to keep the beer cool. Then came the breakthrough of mechanical refrigeration by Carl Von Linde, who was employed by the Spaten Brewery in Munich.

By the 1880s, refrigeration was common in breweries. It was expensive, but it let them brew all year round. It further let breweries grow and pop up in locations far from ice sources. This also led to the dominance of cooler lager beers . . . as well as, eventually, the presence of refrigerators in everyone’s home.

4.Glass Bottle

While not creating glass, beer was the driver behind the glass bottles that contain everything from amber ales to water, ketchup, baby milk, and medicine. This it was one of the earliest examples of large-scale mechanical production, which would flourish so incredibly in the 20th century.

Michael Joseph Owens was the man behind the machine. Owens linked up with Libbey Glass to market his product with the aim of using it to mass-produce long-neck beer bottles. Owens’s machine was a raging success. By 1903, he had created a commercial machine that could churn out 12 glass bottles per minute. By 1912, it could make 50 every minute. The machine created by Owens was used around the globe by 1915.

The company formed by Owens owned the rights to making brandy, wine, and specialty bottles. Exclusive rights were sold to Heinz for ketchup, Hazel-Atlas for general bottles, and Ball Brothers for fruit jars.

3. The Thermometer

James Joule needed the extremely specific conditions and skills he learned in his brewery to measure and define mechanical heat. For example, the ambient temperature had to be ultra-precise, he had to work alone, and he had to work for many hours uninterrupted. Under these unique constraints, forced by brewing, he performed his experiments that would affect the entire field of physics.

Joule recognized that he needed a more precise thermometer, giving us themercury model that is so key today, rather than the inaccurate air thermometers that were previously commonplace. Perhaps even more importantly, Joule devised the mechanical heat ratio in his brewery, which eventually became the basis of the science of energy.

2.Carbon Dioxide

Air was once thought to be one homogenous substance, not the combination of gases we know it is today. It was all thanks to beer that Joseph Priestley discovered carbon dioxide. And with it, he discovered the existence of individual gases.

Living next door to a brewery, Priestley observed that gas floating off the fermenting mixtures fell to the ground, indicating that it was heavier than the air around it. He had discovered carbon dioxide. In addition, he observed that it extinguished lit wood. Priestley figured out how to produce it without alcohol, inventing carbonated beverages as well, so beer also led to the creation of all your favorite fizzy drinks.

This monumental discovery inspired Priestley to figure out what other kinds of “airs” (later called gases) floated around. In the end, the heavy air coming off his beer let Priestley discover not only CO₂ and oxygen but six other gases, including laughing gas—a feat unequalled.

1. communism

There was no more divisive and influential philosophical doctrine in the 19th and 20th centuries than communism. The original Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, led to over a century of international political turmoil and tension. The book would never have come about without a legendary beer-drinking session between the two men.

Both Engels and Marx were no strangers to the drop. Marx’s first year of university was a “wild rampage,” in the words of his father. The following years saw him regularly knocking back pints while finishing his PhD. Engels’s preferred tipple was wine, with a month-long tour of France seeing him drunk for almost all of it.

While traveling through Paris, Engels arranged to grab a beer with Marx. What followed was far more than a beer or two. As one historian put it, it was 10 beer-soaked days, over which Engels and Marx exchanged ideas, breaking down and formulating what would become the basis of communism—all thanks to the mind-altering amber ale.

5. Ties

What actually was the first tie is somewhat disputed. It could either be the “trajanuscollony,” which was a cloth worn around the neck to protect its wearer from cold and also double as a handkerchief. Or it could be the piece of clothing that Croatian soldiers participating in the Thirty Years War wore around their necks to allow them identify each other on the battlefield and to keep their shirt collars together.

After the war, French soldiers introduced the tie to France, where it was often worn by the rich upper class. It was regarded as part of a man’s clothing but was adopted by women during the 1920s and 1930s when female actresses began wearing it. Ties only took their present form in 1924, when Jesse Langsdorf patented the method by which most of today’s ties are made.

4. Pillow

The pillow was invented so that bugs would not crawl into the noses, ears, and mouths of people while they were sleeping. The pillow was first used in what is present-day Iraq over 9,000 years ago. Back then, it was carved from stone. Ancient Egyptians also used pillows because they wanted to protect their heads, which they believed were the most important parts of the body. Ancient Chinese used hard pillows (although they knew how to make softer ones) because of the belief that soft pillows depleted the body’s energy and were not effective at repelling demons.

Africans believed that using pillows while sleeping would connect the sleeping person with his ancestors and also allow spirits visit them in their sleep. Japanese geishas used small, hardened pillows so that their delicate hairstyles would not get scattered while they were asleep. In Europe, pillows were seen as a symbol of weakness, so men rarely used them. In fact, they were banned for use by anyone except pregnant women by King Henry VIII. Pillows only became softer and common during the Industrial Revolution, when they were mass-produced by textile industries.

3. Coca Cola

Coca-Cola was invented by John Pemberton, a pharmacist and US Civil War veteran, who had been injured in the Battle of Columbus. Just like every other injured soldier
back then, Pemberton began using morphine to reduce the pain of his injuries. And just like every other injured soldier back then, he became addicted to it. The issue of morphine addiction after the US Civil War was so serious that it was called “the army’s disease.”

While searching for a cure for his addiction, he invented a drink called “Pemberton’s French Wine Coca,” which was an alcoholic wine mixed with cola nut and coca plant, from which cocaine is derived. His drink was similar to another drink called “Vin Mariani,” which was a mixture of wine and cocaine. Both drinks were meant for curing morphine addiction.

John Pemberton stopped using alcohol in his French Wine Coca in 1886 when new legislation in his county restricted the sale of alcohol. He sold the new, non-alcoholic drink made from a mixture of cane sugar, coca leaves, and cola nut as a medicinal drink and cure for morphine addiction. He set up a company to produce the drink but later sold his shares. The new owners toyed with several names including “Koke” and “Yum Yum” before settling on Coca-Cola.

2. High-heels

The first high heels were made for Persian soldiers in the 16th century. They were not designed for walking, as is clearly evident even today. Instead, they were made to give cavalry soldiers improved stability so that they could shoot their bows with improved efficiency while riding on horses.

High heels made it to Europe in the 1600s, when they were worn by people of higher class. It was common knowledge that such a shoe, which was not meant for walking, could only be used for walking by someone who did not have to work, which could only mean that the wearer was a member of the upper class. Women began wearing heels in an effort to look more like men. Men wore fatter heels, while women wore slimmer heels. Men only stopped wearing heels because it was no longer regarded as a status symbol for them since women were also wearing it.

1. T-shirt

The first T-shirts were made for US Navy personnel during the Spanish-American War. They were intended to be worn as undershirts beneath the standard-issue uniforms. Submarine crews used them as work shirts because they were more suitable for their work and did not restrict movement. Also, they were less itchy than wool. The design was soon adopted by the US Army, which often issued it to recruits. Because the T-shirt was cheap and easy to wash, mothers began buying it for their children to be worn as a play and chore shirt.

With time, the T-shirt changed from being an undershirt meant for work and play to an outerwear and fashionable item. In the 1950s, Tropix Togs began the use of T-shirts in advertising when they secured exclusive rights from Disney to use images of several of their characters, including Mickey Mouse, on their clothes. By the 1960s, several designs, including V-necks, A-shirts, camisoles, and polo shirts, were also introduced as the T-shirt became more popular.

5 Unbelievable items got on x-ray in human body

1. Cassette Tape X-ray

As you are aware, cassette tape are now obsolete. They just sit around and take up wanted space. What to do with them? I know, how about shove them up your arse? Well one individual did just that. They shoved one that far up that they must have though their anus was a cassette player.

2. Deodorant Can X-ray

What seems to be a female deodorant can is lodged up a rusty sheriff badge. Come on, not really creative is it!

3. Sunglasses X-ray

Wow, we have heard the saying “stick it where the sun doesn’t shine”, but you are not supposed to take it literally…are you? Maybe the sun WAS shining and the guy thought that if he inserted some sunglasses then it would help with the glare.

4. Light Bulb X-ray

Haha! And we though the peanut butter jar was bad, as it was made out of glass. I mean a light bulb is that fragile that we have nearly broken a few with our hands just trying to screw the darn things in! I wonder if the person then tried to hook a battery to the bulb to see if it worked. If we were the doctor we would, just to burn his ring to teach him a lesson.

5. Coke Bottle X-ray

We wonder…was it a regular or a diet? I wonder if one of them is harder to get in the rectum than the other? You can see the bottle of pop sticking a little bit outside of the anus. We would have been there for 48 hours trying to get this bad boy out before waddling to the doctors and explaining. Just another thought: Do you think they drank the pop before shoving it up?
