SUICIDE FOREST
Aokigahara, a forest at the base of Mount Fuji, is like something out of The Blair Witch Project. It has an historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, and is the second most popular place in the world for suicides, after San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. More than 50 people took their own lives here in 2010 alone, and an annual body hunt is undertaken by volunteers. The forest is also noted for its quietness, thanks to the wind-blocking density of the trees. Hikers are advised to use plastic tape to mark their route and avoid getting lost.

WEIRD HAT
Marines Thinking About Switching to a New Unisex Hat
A Marine official says that recently the Marine Corps Uniform Board, comprised of non-commissioned officers and officers, discussed a change in the headgear known as a “cover” as a means of streamlining uniform rules for men and women. Since 1952 female Marines have worn distinctive service caps known as “bucket cover.” About 6 percent of the 195,000 Marines in active duty are women.

The Marine Corps is contemplating a uniform change that would create a unisex service cap. The Marines are also exploring whether to have women use a slightly modified version of the hat used by male Marines instead of the distinctive “bucket cap” they now wear. If the unisex design is chosen it would be the first change to that part of the Marine uniform since 1922.

WEIRD FACTS ABOUT HUMAN BODY
1. Babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood the number is reduced to 206. Some of the bones, like skull bones, get fused into each other, bringing down the total number.
2.Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents. But if you are a woman, you are a better smeller than men, and will remain a better smellier throughout your life.
3.The tooth is the only part of the human body that can’t repair itself.
4.Human lips have a reddish color because of the great concentration of tiny capillaries just below the skin.
5.Three hundred million cells die in the human body every minute.

Mount Everest
Mount Everest
With an incredible height of 8,848m (29,029 ft) Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain peak. It is a parent mountain for many hundreds of other peaks. Expeditions to Everest were made since 1921, though the first successful one was only possible in 1953, which was by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas and the border between China and Nepal runs across it. It received its name from Andrew Waugh who named it after his predecessor Sir George Everest. Though there have been many partially and completely successful attempts to climb the Everest the most recent and amazing one is by Arunima Sinha. She is the first female Amputee and also the first Indian Amputee to climb Mount Everest.

K2 Peak
K2 Peak
With a height of 8,611 m (28,251 ft), K2 is the second highest mountain peak in the world. It is located on the border of Baltistan, and China. It is also the highest point in Pakistan. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of climbing it. Many people have died in attempt to climb it. It is more difficult to ascent it from the side towards China, so it is mostly climbed from the Pakistani side. Though attempts were made by many since 1856 to climb this great mass of nature, only in 1954 did a successful ascent to it was made.

Most Interesting Cave
Lubang Nasib Bagus:-
The Lubang Nasib Bagus, or the Good Luck Cave, is famous for the Sarawak Chamber—the largest cave chamber in the world. It is located in Gunung Mulu National Park in Borneo. Its estimated ceiling height is 100 meters (320 ft), and its maximum dimensions have been estimated to be 700 x 400 meters (2,300 x 1,300 ft). The chamber is so large that eight jumbo jets could fit along its length of the chamber, and it could be a (rather inaccessible) garage for 7,500 buses. All the caverns of the Good Luck Cave were created by running water as “early” as five million years ago. Other caves found in Lubang Nasib include the Cave of Winds, and the Cave of Happiness, among others.

Most Interesting Cave
Orda Cave:-
Ordinskaya, or the Orda Cave, is the longest underwater cave in Russia and the world’s only known underwater gypsum cave. Its length is almost 5 kilometers (3 mi) of cavern with water so clear that divers can see nearly 45 meters (150 ft) ahead of them. There are also no currents in the cave.
The Orda Cave is not a good place to get lost in. Smaller passages and caverns leading away from the main cavern are still being found. The water is a freezing -20° Celsius (-4° F) at the surface, and any cave surface you touch can easily break off. Cave diver Lamar Hires says that he has seen chunks of gypsum as large as cars and buses fall from the walls and ceiling.

Most Interesting Cave
Krubera Cave:-
In 2001, the Krubera Cave, alternatively called the Voronja or Voronya Cave, was named the deepest cave in the world. In October 2004, scientists estimated its depth to be 2,080 meters (6,800 feet). The cave is located in Abkhazia, a republic that belongs to Georgia but claims to be an independent state.
In order to reach the lowest depths of the cave, spelunkers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem dove through water barely above freezing. They also experienced a flash flood that left them isolated for 30 hours. At depths of over 300 meters (1,000 ft), several life-forms have been found, such as cave pseudoscorpions, parasitic worms, and transparent fish—in near zero-degree water.
