Buy your own number from 1 to 1000
Well this is a once chance in a life time, your chance to buy your own number from 1 to 1000. Simply pick the number you want (if it is still available) and few days later receive it through post!
Onethousandpaintings is the company behind this and what they offer is simple:
“One thousand numbers = one thousand paintings. All beautifully painted on canvas (approx. 12 x 12 x 1.5 inches). Each number is unique - the number and the demand define the price. A piece of Internet art history“.
Calculating the price for the number you want is a bit tricky they do not have all the same price. Here is the price calculator as stated from the official site:
“Price = 1000 - number.
Initial discount: 90%.
Current discount: 20%.
The discount will decrease by an absolute 10% for every 100 paintings sold.
Min. price: $40″.
i.e. number 316 will set you back $547.20, but what the heck you will have something that none else in the world will have! From this calculation I assume that number 1000 must have been free or something!!
If you are interested hurry up because they already have sold 762 numbers. Do have in mind that they ship the numbers only to:
Paintings have been sold to the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, Mexico, Brasil, South Africa, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Kyrgyzstan, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Portugal, and Israel.
Good luck!
Large or small?
All over Europe and America when we talk about different condoms we talk about color, thinness, “design” and of course brand. Well there is another parameter that was never an issue, and that is size. Till now we thought that the elasticity that condoms provide is enough to cover the a large range of penis sizes. Well it seems that there are two places upon this earth where the “normal” size is either too large or too small!
Well I cannot give you specific size numbers but lets take things one at a time.
Those who found them too big are, according to BBC, are the Indians when through studies saw that more than half of the men measured had penises that where shorter than the “normal” (the so called internationally accepted size). Don’t start saying that it only represents only one area or one class or religion in India. Those that conducted the research took measurements from all sides, and the problem with this is serious as being bigger in size the condom tends to fall off. Since India has one of the highest HIV infections out there it would be difficult to keep the numbers down if people find it embarrassing for them to go and ask for a small size condom.
Now lets go to those that found it too small! Again according to the BBC, South African companies had to create a new extra large size to accommodate the “well endowed” men who found the “normal” size small and uncomfortable. In contrast to India it is hoped that buying these condoms will make people think its cool and lower the HIV numbers in a country where there are already 6m infected people.
Two different views, what do you think?
