3 Topless Ukrainian Women Protest in Davos

Three Ukrainian women went topless to protest economic inequality at the World Economic Conference in Davos, Switzerland. Braving freezing temperatures, they tore off their shirts, carried crude signs and tried to gain access into the conference. Bemused security officials detained the three women after they tried to scale the fence. The conference is an invitation-only gathering of international CEOs and political leaders. The activists are from the group Femen, which has become popular in Ukraine for staging small, half-naked protests.

10 Terribly Dangerous Warning Signs

Gang rape prohibited on King County buses.



From Indiana.



Scariest Sign, EVAR. 

Fast dog. 

Funny but true. 

That would be terrible.



Crazy penguins in Cape Town. 

Kakadu is known for its lovely and life-sustaining wetlands, and is home to countless birds and fish, turtles, snakes and— possibly the scariest animal ever—estuarine crocodiles. Signs everywhere warn you not to enter or even get close to the water, frightening you off with a depiction of a toothy and malevolent-looking croc, jaws wide open ready to gobble you up should you dip a toe in the river.

10 Hotels Famous People have Died In

Since famous people stay (and play!) in hotels quite often, it stands to reason that they might meet their untimely deaths while checked into a luxury hotel. Most recently it was singer/actress Whitney Houston who was found dead at age 48 in the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. Read on to see ten more hotels where stars checked in before checking out... permanently. 

1. The Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, CA

Actor/comedian John Belushi died of an accidental drug overdose while staying in one of the bungalows at the famous Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, on March 5, 1982. He was just 33 years old.

After staying up all night drinking and doing drugs with friends Robert DiNiro and Robin Williams, Belushi injected one more speedball (a combination of speed and heroin) before going to sleep at around 8:30 AM. He never woke up; his personal trainer arrived around noon to find him dead in his bed, and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

2. Lorraine Motel, Memphis, TN

On April 4, 1968, American leader of the African-American civil rights movement and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Martin Luther King, Jr., was gunned down on the balcony of his hotel room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 39 years old.

James Earl Ray, a fugitive from the Missouri State Penitentiary, was convicted of the murder and spent the rest of his life in prison. The Lorraine Hotel location is now home to the National Civil Rights Museum, a privately owned complex of museums and historic buildings. 

3. Hôtel d'Alsace in Paris, France

Irish writer, playwright, and poet Oscar Wilde died at this hotel in November of 1900, after a long illness. He was 46 years old, and despite the fact that he had been celebrated for his writing, he spent time in jail after being accused of homosexuality and sodomy and died nearly penniless. The hard life of a prison inmate took its toll on Wilde's health, and he never returned to good health even after he was released from jail. He grew sicker and sicker over several weeks, during which time he made some of his most famous witticisms to visiting friends, including:

"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has got to go," "I am dying beyond my means," and, "I can't even afford to die."

4. Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Sydney, Australia

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel (now called the Stamford Plaza Hotel) is a popular destination for celebrities who are traveling in Sydney. In 1997, INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence was only 37 years old when he was found dead in room 524 of the Ritz Hotel. He was found completely nude and hanging from a leather belt with drugs and alcohol bottles strewn around the room.

His death was officially ruled a suicide, however, since Hutchence left no suicide note and had even made breakfast plans with an ex-girlfriend for the following morning, many people believe that his death was accidental. Since Hutchence was found naked, it is believed that he hanged himself while participating in autoerotic asphyxiation, which is the act of strangling oneself while masturbating to increase the intensity of an orgasm.

5. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Miami, FL

Anna Nicole Smith was 39 when she died at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Miami. Prior to being found unresponsive in her bed, Smith had been very sick for about a week with flu-like symptoms. Refusing to seek medical treatment, Smith instead continually dosed herself with both over-the-counter and prescription drugs for several days. She had an oozing, pus-filled infection on her buttocks from repeated injections of drugs, and her hotel room was littered with SlimFast cans, Tamiflu packages, and pill bottles.

Smith had suffered a 105° fever the day before her death. On February 8, 2007 she died in her hotel bed, and the toxicology reports later found nine different kinds of pharmaceutical drugs present in her bloodstream, including chloral hydrate, the sedative that also contributed to Marilyn Monroe's overdose in 1962. 

6. The Landmark Hotel, Los Angeles, CA

Janis Joplin was recording what would be her final album in October of 1970 when she took a fatal overdose of heroin and died on the floor of the Landmark Hotel (now the Highland Gardens) in L.A. She had worked in the recording studio all day and then went out for drinks with a member of her band. She was last seen talking to the clerk at the hotel's front desk when she had gotten change to buy cigarettes.

After shooting up with heroin that she had purchased that day, Joplin fell down so hard that she nearly shattered her nose. The heroin she had injected turned out to be about eight times stronger than what she was used to, so her overdose was completely accidental. Joplin was just 27 years old when she died.

7. Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, CA

Just hours after winning the California Democratic Primary election (which made him the Democratic candidate for President), Robert F. Kennedy was fatally shot in the kitchen of this hotel just after midnight on June 5, 1968. Kennedy was the brother of assassinated U.S. President, John F. Kennedy.

Twenty-four-year-old Palestinian immigrant Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of the murder and is still serving his life sentence in prison for the crime. This hotel was demolished in 2005 and six schools, called the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools, now stand on the land. 

8. Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

David Carradine was 72 years old when a chamber maid at this hotel in Bangkok discovered his body in 2009. The American actor was best known for his role in the 1970's television drama "Kung Fu" as well as his role as "Bill" in the Quentin Tarrantino film, "Kill Bill." 

Carradine was found hanging in the closet with cords binding his hands and his genitals. He also had a gag in his mouth. Reports indicate that the actor had a history of enjoying deviant sex acts, including autoerotic asphyxiation, so despite evidence that there may have been another person in his room prior to his passing, his death was ruled accidental. (Link | Photo)

9. The Ritz Hotel in Paris, France

Style icon Coco Chanel lived in a luxurious suite at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Paris for 30 years, and she passed away there at age 87 on January 10, 1971. Touted as being one of the greatest couturiers of the 20th century, Chanel is the designer responsible for introducing the famous "little black dress" and was the creator of one of the most popular perfume fragrances of all time, Chanel No. 5. 

Chanel was working on her Spring fashion collection in her room at the time of her death. Feeling unwell, Chanel went to bed and died peacefully in her sleep. The official cause of her death is unknown. (Link | Photo)

10. Hotel Chelsea, New York, NY

Sid Vicious was an English punk rock musician and bassist of the band The Sex Pistols. Prior to his death, Vicious was accused of killing his 20-year-old girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, by stabbing her in the abdomen while they were both heavily drugged. Nancy died on the bathroom floor of their room in the Hotel Chelsea in NYC. 

Vicious gave conflicting statements to police; he apparently couldn't remember if he had stabbed Nancy or not because he had been so high on heroin when she died. 

Sid and Nancy's sad story does not end with her death at the Chelsea, however. In February of 1979, Vicious purposely overdosed on heroin at age 21. After his death, his mother found a suicide note in his pocket that read:

"We had a death pact, and I have to keep my half of the bargain. Please bury me next to my baby in my leather jacket, jeans and motorcycle boots. Goodbye."

Sadly, because Nancy was Jewish and Sid was not, they could not be buried together.

10 Incredible Novelty Tattoos

A man who lost an arm in a freak accident, has had his stump transformed by a tattoo artist into the head of a dolphin. Heine Braeck, 33, hated his stump, caused by a childhood accident on a train track. The Norwegian realized the shape of it was identical to a dolphin's head. So he asked Bulgarian artist, Valio Ska, to turn the stump into a 3D tattoo, with amazing results. Valio spent over three hours on the meticulous ink job.

Toupees. The comb-over. Now, a head tattoo? If a UK company has its way, men suffering from hair loss will turn to needles and ink to mask their baldness. His Hair Clinic, based in Birmingham, England, uses what it describes as "a mild form of medical tattooing" to simulate the look of shaved or closely cropped hair. The procedure, which His Hair Clinic calls "hair follicle replication," takes three hours to complete and requires an additional follow-up session. 

White ink tattoos are a new trend. This new type of tattoo, which is inked exclusively with white pigment, is favored by more and more people. The end result is a tattoo that has a subtle, almost “ghostly,” image.

Organ tattoos originally began within the organ transplant industry to ensure that transplant patients got the correct organs, but it has now become an art form.

Can't decide what to draw? How about covering half of your face and head with black? Probably one of the most extreme face tattoos ever.

ID tattoo? Well, yes! Richard Ashton from the U.K. always carries his passport. In fact, his passport has become a permanent part of his body since he had it tattooed on his back. Mr. Ashton, 27, a personal trainer from Wandsworth, London, had this done as a memento of a 2005 backpacking holiday in Australia. 

Ashton is not allowed to travel overseas brandishing his back as identification, as he is still required to carry a regular passport through customs. However, he revealed that he has used it as an ID in order to make a bank withdrawal, whipping off his shirt in the Australian bank. (Link)

Controlling your diabetes could make you look tough. A special tattoo ink, that changes color based on glucose levels inside the skin, is under development by Massachusetts-based Draper Laboratories. The injectablenanotech ink could eventually free diabetics from painful blood glucose tests. (Link)

Extreme fan tattoo. 

Lots of children love Disney princesses, but most of them kind of grow out of it. But not Annfaye Kao, 27, of Taichung, Taiwan. Annfaye loves Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so much that she got the entire cast tattooed on her back.
