I took the superhero quiz…

As you’ll see below, I think I could give Johnny Storm a run for his money :lol:

Try the quiz and post your superhero power in the comments :smile:



Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Fire


You are intense, internally driven, and passionate.
Your emotions are unpredictable - and they often get the better of you.
Both radiant and terrifying, people are drawn to you.
At your most powerful, you feel like the world belongs to you.

Why you would be a good superhero: You are obsessive enough to give it your all

Your biggest problem as a superhero: Your moodiness would make it difficult to control your powers

However that isn’t what grabbed my attention, as you may or may not know, St James’ Park (newcastles home ground) has a capacity of little of 52000 people.

However, according to the bbc, it’s over 60000.

“The club, famous for its black and white strip and Magpies nickname, has sell-out crowds of more than 60,000 at most home games”

A stone growing long white hair was given a price of 10 million yuan (£650,000) at an art exhibition.

The stone, exhibited at the 3rd China (International) Treasure Stone Exhibition, is around 30 cm long and has 15cm long white hair.

Staff of the exhibition say the hair must be the remains of a kind of fungus, which grows on the surface of the stone and makes it look like a hairy head, reports Tianfu Morning News.

I have had 3000+ 2 days in a row now, but I thought it was just a random spike type thing, but since its happened for a 3rd day I thought I’d mention it :smile:  Along with a strong week this takes my hits for the month upto 20,161 and counting!

I wonder if anyone can guess why i’ve had a sudden rise in hits?  haircut anyone? :lol: lol

Just like to say thank you to anyone who has visited the site and left comments over the last month! :wink:

These have been really popular so I went looking for more.

I came across these two short clips…

Firstly, A blow dryer.  Get your hair dried after your virtual hair cut.

Secondly, a women whispering in your ears  :wink:

As requested, I have found a similar thing to the Virtual Barbershop, its called Cereni Holphonic.  This one (in my opinion) isn’t as good as the barbershop, but still quite good.  it involves matches, but thats all i’ll say:wink:

For a little bit more info on it, its a Binaural Recording

Could you leave comments on what you think please:smile:

I was just checking where my websites hits are coming from, I saw that one had got here by searching for ”Virtual Barbershop” on Google.  I followed the link to the search results and was rather amazed to find I was 3rd in the results :smile: 

Just for sceptics, here is the proof.
