If this whole thread is for OFF-topic discussions, then whatever we mention here, isn't it ON-topic? :S:p

@OP: The world should be mighty small if the curve of the earth would be visible from the top of a 850m tall structure.. :p The photo was taken with a wide-angle (fish-eye) lens, in all probability.

The curvature of the earth is not visible even when at 35000 feet in an aeroplane let alone at 850m on top of a building :p.

That is just geometric distortion from a fisheye.

Say a film had 45 characters in it. If one scene had just 3 characters in it (like when the villain bugs our anorexic heroine and our chubby hero comes to save the day), i thought the remaining 42 characters would just sit around watching the crap director shouting at the blind cameraman. I also was of the impression that they would shoot all the scenes from the starting to end in the same sequence. :ashamed:

hey guys,
Just saw this as a share by a friend at FB
dont know if its a valid fear or not?
Important Information :

A 21 year old guy had worn a pair of contact lenses during a barbecue party.(An event or meal at which food is cooked outdoors over an open grill or fire)
While barbecuing he stared at the fire charcoals continuously for 2-3 minutes.
After a few minutes, he started to scream for help and moved rapidly, jumping up and down.
No one in the party knew why he was doing this?

Then he admitted into the Hospital, the doctor said he'll be blind permanently because of the contact lenses that he had worn.
Contact lenses are made by plastics, and the heat from the charcoal melted
his contact lenses.

DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHERE OVERHEATING AND FLAMES ARE CONCERNED.... OR
WHILE COOKING...!

Friends if u feel the information is important, Please pass this message to
All your near & dear ones.

Tell me what do you think Hoax or not?
