Vuitton Machine
Check out any fashion magazine, and you're likely to find Louis Vuitton products being hawked by half-naked models. You'll find the luxury, high priced brand, on the bodies of Hollywood stars -- it's the stuff of desire and ego. But what is really the business behind Vuitton? Vuitton is a marketing machine. It's a manufacturing machine. It's a business of efficiency and quality. A business with fierce competition from the likes o Prada and Gucci, as well as a long list of cheap knock offs. Read the quite revealing article in BusinessWeek magazine.
Inner Cow
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
