3 failed worlds followed by the creation of the 4^th world, in which all of us are now living in. surely, all of the theories and numerical calculations have failed to predict the date on which the end is expected to occur, so till then it is best that we enjoy ourselves by taking a look at the 16 bizarre and badass images showing the end of the world. You are sure to find some of these images to be disturbing and weird. Here they are.

like the Detroit hairstyles, African American ones and many more. On seeing a person what is the first thing that manages to gain your attention? Well, it is rightfully the hair that is the most attractive stimulus which a person has. What is the point in having a great facial look, when you do not have a great hair style? There are numerous reasons for which people make use of different hairstyles. Some do it for the sake of enjoyment, while other do it for the purpose of making them above and different than all others around them. Having said this, here are the 10 most craziest, bizarre and weird hairstyles for men and women.

10. Blind People Also Dream

For those who do not know let me tell you that blind people who become blind after their birth see dreams the same way as all other people do. In fact there dreams are more vivid than our dreams. One answer to this weird fact can be their extreme desire to just “see” things. In order to fulfill their desire, their brain interprets images in a more detailed way. In comparison, the people who are born blind also see dreams. But their dreams are based on the information which they had encountered from their functioning senses like that of touch, taste, smell and audition. It is also said that the imagination of the blind people is stronger and actual than the normal people.

9. We forget nearly 60 to 90 % of our dreams

As soon as we wake up, more than half of the dream is forgotten in the initial few minutes. The more hard we try to remember it, the more details about the dream we lose. The above mentioned explanation is supported by the researches that have been conducted at the International Institute of Dream Research. So, why do we forget dreams? The most probable and well accepted answer to this question was given by Sigmund Freud, the father of psycho analysis. His theory of repression stated that the dreams are based on the fulfillment of our wishes. So, in order to block most of the wishes from our consciousness, the brain intervenes and bocks most of the unwanted content of the dream. In comparison to the answers given by Freud, many other theories have tried to answer this weird question in a very simple way by stating that we forget most of our dreams as they are trivial and less interesting.

8. More than 1000 Dreams a year

Most of the people dream every night. For those who say they do not dream at all, let me tell them that they do dream but forget most of them. Based on the participant studies and dream research conducted by many psychologists and psycho analysts, it is said normally we see 2 to 5 dreams each night. Calculated on a yearly basis, it makes more than 1000 dreams. Many of the neurologists and neuroscientists also assert that seeing dreams all the night is a pointer towards an uncomfortable sleep. At the same time, those people who use various forms of anti-depressant drugs may see more randomized dreams.

7. Rapid Eye Movement (REM)

During the course of sleeping, the REM phase is marked by random and fast movement of the eyes which goes unnoticed. This phase of the human sleep was first identified in the 1950,s by a panel of physiologists. The REM phase is experienced on an average of 90 to 120 minutes per night. Now, what’s more bizarre and weird about this phase is the fact that is during the REM phase we see most our dreams. In the initial stages of your sleep, the REM phases are quite short, but as your sleep progresses, the upcoming REM phases get more and more long. The REM sleep is also known by the name of “Paradoxical Sleep”, as the patterns of the brain waves seen during this phase are quite similar and sometimes even more rapid than the one’s seen during waking hours.

6. Dreams are necessary for preventing psychosis

The im

portance of dreams in our life can be understood by the fact that seeing dreams at a normal rate is necessary for the healthy functioning of the mind and the body. This fact can be better understood by the study which was made on a group of college students. They were made to sleep in an observation chamber. As soon as the REM phase of their sleep started, their sleep was disturbed. After a few disturbances, they were allowed to sleep for nearly 8 hours which is the usual sleep time. This procedure was continued for 2 to 3 days, after which the students had started experiencing hallucinations, irritation, lack of concentration, irrational behaviors, all of which are the signs of a suspected psychosis. Afterwards, they were allowed to sleep undisturbed, but another weird sleep mechanism was observed in it. Their brain had extended their REM phases in order to compensate for the previous sleep deprivations.

5. We Dream of what we see

All the people who dream assert that in some of their dreams they see and talk to those individuals whom they have never seen in their lives. But in reality, whatever we see in our dreams is all the part of our conscious experiences (things we see during waking hours). Most of the dream analysts have asserted that our brains do not invent or construct these images, as they are already present in our memories to which we have no direct access. So, another deduction can be made from this yet another weird aspect that dreams help us in getting access to the lost memories.

4. Some People See Colorless Dreams

Nearly 10 % of the sighted people see dreams in black and white color, while the remaining ones see dreams in full colors. It is quite unclear that why the some people see dreams in black and white colors and till now no definite explanations have been provided from any of the top notch dream analysts. Answering this question would generate a number of other questions like “How did you know that the person sees his dreams in black and white?” “Is there a device that measures whether a person is seeing his or her dream in colorful or colorless forms?” As I have mentioned earlier that these facts do happen, as the experiences of millions of individuals can’t be wrong. (10 % people = millions of people)

 3. Pre-Cognition

A considerable percentage of our dreams are based on whatever we think the entire day. In fact more than 60 percent of our dreams are based on pre-cognition. As mentioned earlier most of our dreams reflect our desires and wishes which come to determine the course of lives. In other words, it is our wishes and desires that determine our thinking and preference patterns. This weird fact also serves as a pointer to yet another fact about dreams that some of the dreams are indeed hidden manifestations of the unconscious mind.

2. More than 50 % of the people experience recurring dreams

Presently, there is a large population of people who claim they often see recurring dreams at random intervals. This fact reflects the intensity of attachment you have with that dream, whether the attachment is positive or negative. For example, children often report that they see paranormal figures in their dreams. This is because of the intense fear, incorporated into their minds by their parents, elder siblings, or peer groups. Another example can be of those who individuals who report seeing extremely sexual dreams. The association in the former example was negative, while in the latter one can be positive or negative.

1. 1.    Dream Incorporation

At number we have the weirdest and at the same time, the most well established fact about dreams which is known as dream incorporation. In simple words, it means that most of dreams our initiated by external stimuli that get into contact with any of our body parts. For example, if you feel thirsty during your sleep, then there are high chances that you would see a dream of drinking large amounts of water or juice or wine. This brain mechanism only gives mental satisfaction for a short time span after which the dream is initiated all over again. Another example was reported by a person who reported of hearing very loud cries of a woman in his dream. When he got up, he realized that it was only the sound of a bird. In our sleep, our sense organs remain functional and so they can respond to any stimulus that gets into contact with them. The message of this stimulus goes to the brain that modifies in any way.

10. Dog Bark Park Inn

Located in Cottonwood, Idaho and owned by two chainsaw artists, this beagle shaped hotel has made it our number 10^th spot. The owners of this hotel claim that they had made this bed and breakfast inn through the money they earned from selling wooden dog carvings. So, it is quite obvious that this place is more like a Dog-lovers Fantasy. What’s more weird is the entrance of the hotel which is located at the rear end of the hotel. Surprisingly, dogs are attracted towards the same part whenever or wherever they meet someone new.  Crazy isn’t it?

9. Safari Land Farm and Guest House

Have you ever imagined lodging in trees? If not, then right now is your chance to do it, as this Land farm and Guest house offers you a number of lodging opportunities in the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary. In addition, you would also never forget the aesthetic experience that would have in this heaven of solitude and isolation. At the same time, you can also have a view of the elephants and various other native creatures taking their casual strolls across the jungle.

8. Drain Pipe Hotel

Ever wondered sleeping inside a drain? Now is your chance to have a weird and luxurious experience of sleeping inside this drain pipe hotel equipped with everything that you can imagine. This awry and wonky hotel is located in Austria, which is yet another reason for you to give it a try. Not to worry, as the rooms won’t roll away at the night time.

7. Capsule Hotels                                                              

For those who have always wished to sleep in a UFO, these capsule hotels can provide you with exactly what you have always been looking for. These hotels are more like mini spaceships that have been made out of oil rigs and survival pots. In fact, you may also get a chance to meet the species of the third kind in these “not so astonishing” bunkers. Located in Den Haag, Netherlands, they are found on floating easily on water. Not to worry, as most of them can be found on land also. It is a high time for you to experience that how it feels to be an amphibian floating in these capsule hotels.

6. Alcatraz Hotel

Have you ever heard about Alcatraz, the most dangerous prison in the world? I bet you might have. So, for those who always wanted to go inside this prison, now is the chance, as the prison has now been changed

into a hotel. The entire facility has been equipped with luxury, comfort and all other goodies. Can you believe that this location was once occupied by some of the most dangerous and ruthless homicidal maniacs? All the rooms of this hotel still exhibit the environment of a cellar, but in a more sophisticated and civilized way.

5. Jumbo Stay

Designed like the interior of a jumbo jet plane and located in Sweden, this hotel provides you with a never before experience. All the guests can sleep in private chambers and dine in a specially built lawn resembling much like the one’s present in air planes. You can also make announcements from the luxury cockpits via the intercoms found in all of the rooms.

4. Osaka Capsule Inn

Due to the small area of the country, the spaces in Japan are quite limited. So, in order to compensate for this space deficiency, The Osaka Capsule Inn has been designed. All the rooms located in this hotel look more like industry ovens and kitchens. What’s more weird is the fact that the residents themselves decide the temperature at which they would love to be cooked. The entire hotel has been furnished with the latest technologies and devices in order to make the stay worth remembering.

3. Hotel de Glace

Located in Canada and resembling the Eskimo Camp, the entire hotel has been made it out of the finest and thickest layers of ice. Now here arises the question that how is this hotel able to survive in times of summer? It does not, as the season lasts for only a few months from January till the end of March. The temperatures are always kept at sub-zero levels and even the beds are also made of ice. But you should always use the specially made sleeping bags in order to avoid hypothermia.

2. Hobbit Motel

Ever wondered that how it feels to be a hobbit? This hotel gives you the chance of being a part of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Jokes apart, but you can really have a unique and awe inspiring experience at this comfortable hotel. All the doors and windows have been modeled just like the ones seen in the movie. The motel also happens to be located in New Zealand where most of the movie was filmed.

1.    Poseidon Undersea Resort

At number 1 we have the resort, that gives you a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy lodging under sea. You might have read something about the lost city of Atlantis which is believed to be submerged in water. Located on a wonderful Island in Fiji, this resort is one of the most amazing and weird hotels in the world. You can have almost anything you want, exotic dishes, bars and much more. At the same time, you will always find numerous godly creatures moving through the water. Not to worry, as the sharks would never break into your room.

10. More Than 100,000 Miles of Blood Vessels

As I have mentioned earlier that there are several billions of neurons and glial cells found at various sites in the brain as well as in the whole body. These neurons possess the ability to generate electrical impulses in between themselves which travel at the speed of more than 100 miles per hour. The electrical activity going on in the brain can generate more than 25 watts of power, as confirmed by various sources. This power is indeed quite enough to light a bulb. Surprisingly, the blood vessels distributed all over the brain, if spread along a straight road may cover a distance of 100,000 or more miles. The human brain indeed has the ability to store trillion terabytes of data for a long time period if encoded in a perfect way.

9. No Pain Receptors (Nociceptors)       

Based on the studies made by thousands of neurologists and psychiatrists, there are no Nociceptors in the brain. As mentioned above, Nociceptors are the receptors that respond to aversive stimuli or any sort of pain. It is because of this weird fact the surgeons are easily able to execute the brain operations while the patient is still awake. This strategy helps in determining that the patient experiences no sort of vision loss or any other abnormality in the organs as the operation progresses. The Nociceptors are distributed all over the human body and play a role in detection of pain. The messages and information about the pain are sent through the spinal cord towards the brain which determines the reaction to be made. In simple words, spinal cord is just like a long wire which provides a communication pathway between the brain and the rest of the body.

8. Stored Brain of Albert Einstein

As you most of you already know that the great scientist and philosopher, Einstein had died in the year 1955. Soon after his death, Dr. Thomas Harvey had removed his brain by performing a brainectomy. The surgery had been done nearly 7 hours after the death of this gifted individual. But what’s more weird is the fact that the Doctor himself had vanished with the brain for many years. Finally, he was traced down by a journalist Steven levy in Kansas, where Dr. Thomas had accepted that he still had the brain stored in mason jars in many pieces and fragments. This is a clear indicator that he had been carrying hundreds of tests on the brain till now, but what in fact did he find?

7. Right and Left Brain

The human brain has been divided into two hemispheres i.e. right and left hemispheres. Although they look the same, but in reality they perform quite different functions. It is said that the left part is involved in rational and analytical thinking, verbal skills and language production, while the right part is involved in creative and visual functions. What’s weirder is that the information from the right eye is sent to the left part, while information from the left eye is sent to the right part of the brain. In addition, our eye captures images in inverted forms, but it is the brain that corrects the image. The part which connects these two hemispheres is known as the “Corpus Callosum”. Any damage to this part would result in the loss of brain co-ordination due to which you would be unable to perform even the simplest of functions. Just imagine that you are looking at a girl you desire heavily, but you are unable to identify who the girl is?

6. Men Have Comparat

ively Bigger Brains

Most of the women would not be so astonished on hearing this fact, but it is a fact that the men have bigger brains. This is a pointer towards the chauvinistic belief that men are smarter than women. But at the same time, it has also been proved by various scientific researches that women have more nerve cells and connectors as compared to men. In terms of information processing, the women process more amounts of data using the left hemisphere which is involved in the emotional content. In simple words, women tend to be more emotional while the men tend to be more logical. There are also minor differences in other brain parts. This raises yet a question that whether the differences between the brain parts is related to the particular gender or not? What do you think?

5. Fast Information Exchange during Sleep

At number 5 we have yet another weird fact which states that our brain is more active at the night time in comparison to the day time. In other words, the communication pathways work at very high speeds at the night time. All the information and experiences that are encountered by us while we are awake are processed and decoded efficiently during the night time. Using a device called an EEG, it has been proved that during the REM phase of our sleep, the most number of brain parts are activated. REM phase in simple words, means the phase in which we see dreams marked by a rapid eye movement schedule.

4. Is Inception Real

Most of the dream researchers and neuroscientists have confirmed that we do have the ability to control the outcome of our dreams. Technically, speaking it is called lucid dreaming which traces its roots in the Buddhist religion. What’s more bizarre is that our while our dreams progress, time passes more slowly as shown in the Super Hit Movie “Inception”. Presently, a number of experts and psychologists are offering their services in training you how to conquer your most feared nightmares and dreams. Based on the positivistic results of these methods, it has been proved that all these tactics and techniques employed by these psychologists and so called dream experts do work.

3. No One Really Knows Why We Laugh

It is believed that the true laughter is generated automatically without any voluntary intervention. At the same time, some whitish material is also released out of the nose while we laugh. It is indeed one of the weird of all the facts that are associated with our brains. There is no doubt in saying that there is certainly an unconscious element involved in our laughter. This fact can be better understood by our inability or difficulty to generate fake laughter. In simple words, we laugh at the very first sound of the word “laugh” itself. Normally, we start laughing at the age of 3 to 4 months. But why do we have a ticklish sensation while laughing is still not known.

2. Size Matters or Not

No it does not, as the tests and procedures that were carried out on the brain of Albert Einstein had revealed that his brain was nearly 1.23 kilograms. Normally, the brain of average adult weighs nearly 1.4 kilogram. Then, what was it that contributed to the extra ordinary intelligence of Einstein. It was because of large numbers of glial cells distributed all over his brain. The belief that people with large heads are more intelligent than the ones who have pin pointer heads has been falsified by the latest researches which state that size does not matter. In fact, people who have more than usual brain sizes may experience abnormalities in brain functioning.

1.    The Man with the Highest IQ-Kim Ung-Yong

You might be thinking that this man is like any other Korean citizen. But he is not. In fact he is the record holder of having the highest IQ in the world estimated to be nearly 210. What’s more weird is the fact that at the age of four he had become fluent in nearly 4 languages i.e. Korean, German, English and Japanese. At the age of five he was able to understand the concepts of differential calculus and integration. At the age of 8 he was invited to the United States of America where he had completed his university education. At the age of 12 he had already started his research projects at NASA. Now, what do you think about all this?

10. The Lost Cosmonauts

The Lost Cosmonauts, or Phantom Cosmonauts, are cosmonauts who allegedly entered outer space, but whose existence has never been acknowledged by either the Soviet or Russian space authorities.  Proponents of the Lost Cosmonauts theory concede that Yuri Gagarin was the first man to survive in space travel, but claim that the Soviet Union attempted to launch two or more manned space flights prior to Gagarin's, and that at least two cosmonauts died in the attempts. Another cosmonaut, Vladimir Ilyushin, is believed to have landed off-course and been held by the Chinese government.

The Russian government deliberately nipped this information in order to avoid bad reputation or to prevent bad publicity during the era of the Cold War. In the 1980s, American journalist James Oberg researched on space-related disasters but found no evidence of these Lost Cosmonauts. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, much of information was not accessible.

9. The Cataclysmic Pole Shift Hypothesis

The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis is always discussed in the context of Earth, but other bodies in the Solar System may have experienced axial reorientation during their existences. Among the scientific community, there is no research that indicates a rapid change in the position of the rotational axis. There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time-scales and does not involve relative motion of the spin axis with respect to the planet.

However, in what is known as true polar wander, the solid Earth can rotate with respect to a fixed spin axis. Research shows that during the last 200 million years a total true polar wander of some 30° has occurred, but that no super-rapid shifts in the Earth's pole were found during this period. A characteristic rate of true polar wander is 1° per million years or less. Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the super-continent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the Earth rotated 55°.

8. Majestic 12

Majestic 12 also known as Majic 12 and Majestic Trust is the code name of a secret team of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, supposedly formed in 1947 by an executive order of U.S. President Harry S Truman. The alleged purpose of the committee was to investigate UFO activity in the aftermath of the Roswell incident – the crash of the alien spaceship near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. The FBI has concluded that documents associated with the Majestic 12 committee are “entirely bogus”.

Although the Special Group was not specifically concerned with UFOs, and post-dates the alleged creation of MJ-12 in 1947, the commonality of the number '12' in the names of the two groups is cited as fascinating, as is the first chairman, Gordon Gray, being one of the alleged MJ-12 members. As the highest body of central intelligence experts in the early Cold War era Special Group certainly would have had both clearance and interest in all matters of national security, including UFO sightings if they were considered a real threat.

7. The Roswell UFO Incident

The incident of UFO Roswell was the alleged recovery of extra outer- space debris, including alien corpses, from an object which crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in June or July 1947. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy and the subject of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object which crashed.

The US military maintains that what was actually recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named “Mogul”; however, many UFO proponents maintain that in fact a crashed alien craft and bodies were recovered. The incident has turned into a widely known pop culture phenomenon, making the name Roswell synonymous with UFOs. It ranks as one of the most publicized and controversial alleged UFO incidents

6. Planet X

After the discovery of the Neptune planet in 1846, there were considerable speculations that another planet might exist beyond its orbit. The search began in the mid-19th but completed at the start of the 20th century with Percival Lowell's quest for Planet X. He proposed this hypothesis to explain apparent discrepancies in the orbits of the gas giants, particularly Neptune and Uranus, speculating that the gravity of a large unseen ninth planet could have troubled Uranus enough to account for the irregularities.

Clyde Tombaugh's discovery of Pluto in 1930 appeared to validate Lowell's hypothesis, and Pluto was officially considered the ninth planet until 2006. In 1978, however, Pluto was found to be too small for its gravity to affect the gas giants, resulting in a brief search for a tenth planet. The search was largely abandoned in the early 1990s, when a study of measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft found that the irregularities observed in Uranus's orbit were due to a slight overestimation of Neptune's mass.

After 1992, the discovery of numerous small icy objects with similar or eve

n wider orbits than Pluto led to a debate over whether Pluto should remain a planet, or whether it and its neighbors should, like the asteroids be given their own separate classification. Although a number of this group was initially described as planets, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto and its largest neighbors as dwarf planets, leaving only eight planets in the Solar System

5. The USA-193

USA-193, also known as NRO launch 21 was an American military spy satellite launched in December 2006. The satellite malfunctioned shortly after deployment, and was deliberately destroyed 14 months later in February, 2008, by a modified, $9.5 million SM-3 missile fired from the warship USS Lake Erie, stationed west of Hawaii. The event highlighted growing distrust between the US and China, and was viewed by some to be part of a wider “space race” involving the US, China and Russia.

The Russian government claims that this exercise was a test of the US missile defense program. The defense ministry of Russia accused America of using the hydrazine worries as a cover for a test of an ASAT, and noted that extraordinary measures had never before been needed to deal with the many spacecraft that had fallen on Earth.  According to General Kevin P. Chilton, when President Bush was briefed on the situation, the danger that shooting down the satellite would be perceived as an ASAT test was brought up, and President Bush made his decision based on the dangers of an uncontrolled reentry.

4. Flat Earth Society

The Flat Earth Society also known as the International Flat Earth Society is an organization that seeks to further the belief that the Earth is flat rather than a sphere. Samuel Englishman founded this modern organization in 1956, and later led by Charles K. Johnson, who established the organization in his home in Lancaster, California. The formal society was not active after Johnson’s death in 2001, but was recently resurrected by its new president Daniel Shenton.

Due to Shenton's interest in alternative science and technology the emphasis on religious arguments was less than in the predecessor society. This was just before the launch of the first artificial satellite and when satellite images taken from outer space showed the Earth as a sphere rather than flat, the society was undaunted; Shenton remarked: “It's easy to see how a photograph like that could fool the untrained eye.” However it was not till the advent of manned spaceflight that Shenton managed to attract wide publicity, being featured in the New York Times in January and June 1964, when the epithet “flat-earther” was also slung across the floor of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in both directions

3. The Face on Mars (the Cydonia region)

Cydonia is a region of Mars containing several hills which has attracted attention because one of the hills resembles a human face, while others resemble pyramids. The phenomena have attracted both scientific and popular interest. The name originally referred to an albedo feature that was visible from earthbound telescopes.

As with other albedo features on Mars, the name Cydonia was drawn from classical antiquity, in this case from Cydonia, a historic polis on the island of Crete. Cydonia lies in the planet's northern hemisphere in a transitional zone between the heavily cratered regions to the South, and relatively smooth plains to the North. Some researchers believe that the northern plains may once have been ocean beds and that Cydonia may have been a coastal zone.

2. The Moon Landing Conspiracy

Regarding landing on moon there are different conspiracy theories that some or all elements of the Apollo Project and the associated Moon landings were false staged by NASA and members of other organizations. Since the conclusion of the Apollo program, a number of related accounts espousing a belief that the landings were faked in some fashion have been advanced by various groups and individuals.

Some of the more notable of these various claims include allegations that the Apollo astronauts did not set foot on the Moon; instead NASA and others deliberately  deceived the public into believing the landings did occur by manufacturing, destroying, or tampering with evidence, including photos, telemetry tapes, transmissions, and rock samples. Such claims are common to most of the conspiracy theory. Various polls have shown that 6% to 28% of the people surveyed in various locations do not think the Moon landing happened.

1. The 2012 Phenomenon

The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012, which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formula related to this date have been proposed, but none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.  A New Age interpretation of this transition shows that during this time Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive spiritual or physical transformation, and that 2012 could be the start of a new era.

Others say the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe like shown in Hollywood’s popular$ movie ‘2012’. Scenarios posited for the end of the world include the Earth's collision with a passing planet (often referred to as “Nibiru”) or black hole, or the arrival of the next solar maximum.  Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea that a catastrophe will happen in 2012, stating that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the existing classic Maya accounts.

10. Capsule Hotel – Netherlands

This bizarre hotel is unbelievably small with a cost of only 60 Euros per night. Located in Hague, Netherlands, the capsule hotels are the world’s tiniest hotels. The hotel rooms are made of bright orange survival pods, which were once used on an oil rig platform. The hotel was originally built in 1972; the hotel rooms are 4.25 meters in diameter. The hotel also comes with small amenities including wireless internet access, chemical toilets and television sets. On a funny note, the hotel does not provide services to thrill seeking tourists or to be more precise – foreigners. However, local businessmen who are too drunk to go home are always welcomed.

9. Dog Bark Park Inn – United States of America

The world’s largest Beagle is a hotel in Cottonwood Idaho, USA. The Beagle shaped hotel is a landmark for the state of Idaho. The hotel is a two storey building with a two bedroom B&B, featuring dog shaped contents, and even the bathroom is shaped like a fire hydrant. The hotel is owned and operated by husband and wife artists, Dennis and Frances Sullivan, who made their living by carving 60 different breeds and poses of dogs, and other themed carvings.

8. Cappadocia Cave Hotel – Turkey

The cave suite, Cappadocia Cave Hotel is located in Urgup hill in Cappadocia, Turkey. The caves were carved during Hittite, Byzantine and Roman days, but are now used as lodging. The amazingly exotic atmosphere of the Cappadocia Cave Hotel is a perfect blend of the eastern traditions in the western world. The two storey building offers a great view of the beautiful scenery of Cappadocia. The second floor of the hotel comes with a private terrace carved into the corner of the cliffs. A one night stay at the Cappadocia Cave Hotel costs about $127.

7. Jumbo Hostel – Sweden

Wonder how many travelers would be willing to stay in a plane shaped hotel. Actually a Boeing 747, the Jumbo Hostel stands in Stockholm. The hotel manages its 353 meters of space with 25 tiny rooms crammed into it. The hotel can accommodate around 72 people at a time in rooms and the café. This unique hotel opened in December 2008 and costs $55 USD for an overnight stay. Just an idea, the future of salvaged planes can be hotels built in airports for late night passengers.

6. Controversy Tram Hotel -Netherlands

Located in Amsterdam, Netherlands the Controversy Tram Hotel is made of city trams and rail carriages, collected from Amsterdam and Germany. The 5 B&B bedrooms are wonderfully themed with double bed, shower, toilet facilities, and a sink top unit for drinks and snacks.

4. Jules Undersea Lodge – United States of America

The only underwater hotel located in the USA, the Jules Undersea Lodge is situated in Key Largo, Florida.

ncts and standing strong. Some declared themselves as “scared stiff” while making a crucial decision, while some were told that “they can never be a leader”. Still, fighting against all odds they all left a legacy unmatched. A CEO can either play at the already set stage or could create his own stage where other can play.

10. David Packard

In 1949, David Packard went to a business leaders meeting, where everyone had only one topic to discuss “how to squeeze more profit from companies”. Unable to control himself, 37 year old Packard found himself saying “A company has a greater responsibility than making money for its stockholders. We have a responsibility to our employees to recognize their dignity as human beings.” Here was the first time he practically preached his belief that those who lend a hand in creating wealth have an ethical right to share that wealth.

However no one in the meeting shared Packard’s ideas. “I was surprised and shocked that not a single person at that meeting agreed with me,” Packard reflected later. “It was quite evident they firmly believed I was not one of them, and obviously not qualified to run an important enterprise.”

David Packard was never amongst the bosses who dwelt in their mahogany paneled offices, instead he preferred to sit down and work with his engineers. His method was radical for all times, sharing equity and profits with all employees at Hewlett Packard. Although being Silicon Valley’s first self-made billionaires, David Packard still preferred to live in the small understated house that he and his wife built in 1957 – donating HP to Stanford University.

9. Katharine Graham

The chief of Washington Post Company, Katharine Graham landed with the company burden when her husband committed suicide. The company belonging to Katharine’s father was put into her husband’s hand until their children could take care of it, but Graham rose to the challenge and assumed stewardship.

However, she rose more than her title and brought the Washington Post on the same level as the New York Times. In 1971, she got hands on the leaked Pentagon Papers, a Defense Department study that revealed the government deceptions about the Vietnam War. The crucial decision was made; the Washington Post published the papers. What followed was a long case ensued by the Nixon White House threatening the Washington Post chief. But Katharne Graham proved to be the most courageous CEO on the list.

8. William McKnight

Many called him insane, and who wouldn’t? The man who blasted a hole in his basement just to place the machine that failed market tests to make little sticky tabs. William McKnight was a man who gave hatchling ideas and freedom to grow, yet always insisted his employees to stand on their own. McKnight fused two ideas to create something entirely new – the 3M, a company that turned innovation into a systematic recurring process.

William McKnight was a genius by design and the proof of his brilliant mind was how he turned the failed sticky tabs machine to have a group of addicted users to whom he distributed free samples. He created a company that brought innovation with discipline, giving everyone freedom to bring innovation but keeping controls in his hand, thus preventing chaos. 3M is now spread worldwide, and those of you who don’t know it look around your house you may just find at least one product of the company in your house.

7. David Maxwell

The company was falling when he arrived. Not a great time to join the company, but that’s not how David Maxwell saw it. Despite the fact that Fannie Mae was losing $1 million daily, Maxwell thought it was a great opportunity to turn it in to a great company.

Maxwell took a broken glass and fixed it so well that no one can even find the cracks. He sold off classic fireman stuff for $10 billion in unprofitable mortgages. But his greatest achievement was to strengthen America’s public foundation by democratizing home ownership. Fannie Mae did its job perfectly, letting people who were conventionally excluded from owning homes to easily claim their part of the American dream.

6. James Burke

His might be the most courageous action faced by any CEO. James Burke acted before crisis hit that could have brought the end of Johnson & Johnson Co. Although he is known for the growth of the company under his leadership, Burke is better known for the case the company faced for cyanide poisoning in its Tylenol capsules. The news came out when unknown suspect/s put 65 milligrams of deadly cyanide into Tylenol capsules, 10,000 more than what is necessary to kill a human. Since there was no use of protective seal, Burke took the decision to pull Tylenol capsules off the shelves. By the time the popular aspirin was taken off the shelves, seven people had died in Chicago.

James Burke’s defining moment came when he pulled 20 key executives into a room and pointed his finger on the J&J credo. Written 36 years earlier by R.W. Johnson Jr., it read the company’s motto “We hold these truths to be self-evident”, among them a higher duty to “mothers and all others who use our products.” Burke worried that executives had come to view the credo as an artifact that is interesting but is hardly relevant to the daily challenges.

He said, “Here’s the credo. If we’re not going to live by it, let’s tear it off the wall. We either ought to commit to it or get rid of it.” The executives were stunned, and the recommitment was made.

5. Steve Jobs

Even in the perfect world nothing is perfect and that is the story of the Silicon Valley entrepreneur and CEO of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs. The visionary who revolutionized the personal computer, creating a new era, Steve Jobs did not have a professional degree yet he had the mind of a leader. Jobs break came when he brought John Sculley from Pepsi Cola to serve as Apple’s CEO, only to have Sculley conspire against him and have Jobs removed from the company. However, Jobs admitted that being fired from Apple Inc. was the best thing that ever happened to him.

After leaving the fruit company, Steve Jobs founded the NeXT Computer and bought the Graphics Group, which was later renamed as Pixar. The NeXT Computer was acquired by Apple in 1197 and Jobs sold Pixar to Disney, making him the single largest shareholder with approximately seven percent of the company’s shares. He returned to his former position as the CEO to Apple Inc. in 1996, and his innovation is what got the company to create the products of iPod, Mac, iPhone and the iPad. While stimulating innovation, Jobs always reminded his employees that creativity is “real artist’s ship”.

4. George Merck

He didn’t care about making money or the Wall Street, yet he brought 50 times more profit. In 1978, Dr. William Campbell developed a cure to the disease that struck the third world. The disease caused blindness and itching in humans so horrific that some victims committed suicide. After getting positive results on animals, Campbell urged his employer, Merck & Co. to pursue the idea. Today, the drug Mectizan is distributed largely free of cost to 30 million people yearly.

George Merck believed that purpose of a corporation was to do something useful for the people, on the cover of August 1952 Times magazine he declared, “Medicine is for people, not for the profits”. While other CEOs worry about their standing with the Wall Street, Merck neither cared nor ever worked for profit; he served the people, and yet ultimately brought the latter.

3. Sam Walton

He brought everything in one spot; Sam Walton was the owner of Wal-Mart. Growing up during the Great Depression, he became the man who owned the chain of America’s biggest retail store. He brought the idea of Wal-Mart in 1962, when the first Wal-Mart opened in Bentonville, Arkansas. His charismatic personality helped his company grow, with his central message: to make things ever more affordable to people of lesser means.

To ensure that his idea would outlast him, Walton set a goal to grow annual sales from less than $30 billion to $125 billion by the year 2000 and for that he chose David Glass. Walton’s intuition about Glass proved right and the company blew right past the $125 billion goal, taking in at $165 billion in 2000.

2. Bill Allen

The company that created jets that helped win the World War 2, yet the victory of the war seemed like the death of the company itself. As orders for bombers stopped overnight, Boeing’s revenues nose-dived. When everyone was thinking of the end of Boeing, one man stood against the odds. Bill Allen never thought of Boeing as a bomber company, but believed that it was a company with engineers who can build amazing flying machines.

In 1952, Bill Allen faced heavy opposition when he decided the company would work on the commercial jet project, the 707. Under his leadership, Boeing became the strongest commercial jet company building the 707, 727,737 and 747. The four planes turned out to be the most successful risks a company CEO has ever taken. At a board meeting, a director said that if 747 was too big for the market to handle, Boeing could back out. Bill Allen stiffened at the remark and said “If the Boeing Aircraft Co. says we will build this airplane, we will build it even if it takes the resources of the entire company.” Bill Allen beat down all odds and left a legacy to match.

1. Charles Coffin

Most people might never have even heard of Charles Coffin ad that symbol of modesty speaks of his greatness. Maybe it’s because Coffin took over a company from its founding entrepreneur, who was none other than inventor Thomas Edison. Although Coffin knew his job was not to be the next Thomas Edison, he still proved to be a master inventor. He created the General Electric Co.

Coffin saw and blended together two significant innovations, giving birth to America’s first research laboratory that worked on his idea of systematic management development. Where Edison was a genius with a thousand helpers, Coffin through his idea had a system of genius that did not depend on him.

Coffin created the GE as we know it today, which ultimately created a succession of giants. Charles Coffin was the man who built the stage on which everyone plays.
