The Shortest Celebs
 February is the shortest month of the year and though that means the rent's due sooner, at least we're one month closer to spring. To celebrate the short month, we thought it'd be fun to take a look at the shortest celebs in TV, film and music. Click through to see 28 of the most lovable and petite celebs alive.

 
Best Rivalries of All Time
We love it when rivals get on each other, whether on the gridiron, the tennis court or in politics. The Super Bowl may be anticlimactic, given the history of one of the teams involved, but it could be the start of a new rivalry. 

Find out more about these sports greats, and see if you can guess others who etched their names in the record books.

A student in a Texas high school says she’s waiting tables to pay the fine she got after she reportedly swore in a teacher’s classroom. The fine started out as $340, but ballooned with fees and court costs.

 Students play music for patients at Xiangyang No 1 People Hospital in Xiangyang, Central China's Hubei province, Jan 26, 2011. The hospital invited students playing violin and saxophone into the wards to celebrate the traditional lunar festival "Xiaonian" that pays homage to the legendary "Kitchen God" and falls on the 23rd of the 12th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

A brand-name celebrity's endorsement may not guarantee success for a new business. Then again, it sure doesn't hurt. Here are 10 startups with real star power behind them.

Consiglieri

Some challenge and trivia game shows are pretty straightforward, and their formulas have been copied throughout Asia, Europe and Africa. But we've found a few gems with an intrinsic insanity all their own. These shows are often not about winning money at all; they're all about oddness, or shock value.

Japan is often put on a pedestal when it comes to bizarre and often slightly NSFW shows. There was even an American series honoring them.
Tune in to see which other countries are peculiar programming pros.1: 'Wetten, Dass?'
Germany's seminal betting show has contenders take on such absurd feats as identifying birds while blindfolded with a single clue, or making a car go in a really unconventional way. Beforehand, celebrity guests wager on the players' success. And these aren't just domestic stars; we're talking internationally known actors, models, tastemakers and a "King."

2: 'Infinite Challenge'
This hybrid is one of Korea's top shows. Its six hosts (not contestants) face challenges that range from draggish pop star-impersonating to competitive golfing. The show -- now in its fourth season -- has included a hanbok-clad socialite from the U.S., as well as a tennis queen.

3: 'Human Tetris'
In Japan, it's known by this title, and it had yet another title when it aired in the United States. The concept is this: A wall with Tetris-shaped cut-outs is thrust at contestants who must contort their bodies in order to fit through the holes, lest they get pushed into a pool of water and lose points. It looks as wacky as it sounds. The show has expanded to include different cut-out shapes and dozens of international spin-offs.

4: 'Bitoy's Showww Time'
This Pinoy show is equal parts singing competition, silly home videos and crazy stunts. Sounds pretty standard for a variety game show ... until you check out the host, who dresses like a futuristic emperor, a princess, or a pirate on any given day. Given his nickname (he has a pretty distinct a real name, too), you come to expect the unexpected. Ever wonder what it's like to watch a kid rip into a coconut with his teeth while belly dancers cheer him on? Wonder no more.

5: 'El Gran Juego de la Oca'
This Spanish show (which originally debuted here) went off the air in the late '90s. But when it was on, this spin-off of a children's board game was not kidding around. There were stunts of the messy, embarrassing and downright gross variety. It may call to mind a U.S. show that clearly took some punishment pointers.

6: 'Dadagiri'
With a distinction this sinister, this Indian program is almost too scary to watch. In order to win cash, contestants have to relive an unfortunate rite of passage, as the hosts take on a hated role. The pugnacious show has seen controversy and even has its own meme.

7: 'Distraction'
This U.K. show was hosted by a British comedian who eliminated contestants with trivia questions. Players would mull those questions over while wearing shocking accessories, or with obstacles that could catch them off-guard. Pain and humiliation were handed out on every episode. "Distraction" had a two-season run on a U.S. network, and a knock-off version could be seen most recently in South America.

The Buckeye Bullet is an ongoing project by the Ohio State University that has already broken the two-way land speed on Hydrogen fuel cells. This awesome vehicle has just broken the battery-powered land speed record, reaching 291mph.


This model was developed in collaboration with electric car manufacturer Venturi. While the Buckeye Bullet was able to hit 291mph, it is only a testing prototype for a new car this coming year, which probably won’t go as fast as its predecessor.

Companies Ferrari and Nespresso espresso machines introduced the concept, created in the form of a racing helmet. Unusual maker called Racepresso. Creator of the concept called Ilgar Rustamov.











In 1980 Canadian spouses David and Cheryl Hendersons came on a visit to Moscow to see XXII Summer Olympic Games where they took a lot of interesting photos. They were the parents of a Canadian sportswoman Sandra Henderson who set the Olympic flame in 1976 in Montreal. Here are the pics not only of the Opening Ceremony but beautiful views of Moscow that changed so much on those July days.
