LIVING dangerously.
Russia's Plosky Tolbachik
volcano is drawing thousands of
thrill seeking tourists, after it
erupted.
The volcano which has been
dormant for four decades, began
to spew forth hot magma,
volcanic ash and gases from its
underground magma chamber
recently, which instead of causing
widespread panic across the
country, caused a tourism boom.
So fierce was Plosky’s wrath
that it destroyed a nearby
recreational base and set the
surrounding forest on fire.
But this was not enough to keep
the thrill seeking tourists away,
with some vying for the 2012
Darwin Awards by posing for
pictures close to lava flows and
burning trees.
“It was worth doing it, it's
marvelous, incredibly beautiful,
you can't express it with words,
you should just see it, feel it,
touch it with your own hands, it's
just great,” said one tourist to
media after paying to take a trip
to the smoking volcano.
DO not rest in peace.
A Swedish inventor, Fredrik
Hjelmquist, has debuted an
unusual new invention tailored
for those that love their music, a
coffin with an in-built stereo system.
The CataCombo Sound System
is being dubbed as the “perfect
gift for music lovers who do not
want to rest in peace”.
Purchasers of the coffin are able
to create their own afterlife play
list, which will be streamed into
their coffin after they are interred
under six feet of earth.
The system includes two-way
front speakers, four-inch midbass
drivers, tweeters and an-eightinch
subwoofer, and has a 2.1
amp power supply with a cooling
system to prevent overheating.
For those that are concerned
about disturbing the peace of
their resting neighbours,
Hjelmquist said that the system is
completely soundproof.
