I intend to regularly post written articles and factoids from around the world for your entertainment LiveLeakers !

***DISCLAIMER***



I do not have any merits for the content, since I mostly inspired myself
( very directly or not ) from the L'Actualité magazine, published in
french throughout Canada.



I apologize in advance for any imperfect translation, though I feel the
spirit and the overall sens of these articles are well respected.



Many of these articles ( if not all ) can be found in their original state, in french, at www(.)lactualite(.)com

For pros only ! ( original title though it's contradictory to what the article said ! )

Enough
to give you vertigo. In Groningue, Netherlands, stands Excalibur, the
highest man made climbing wall on earth. This fabricated cliff is 37
meters high ( Brits and Yankees need to convert it into imperial
measurement ). It is conceived for beginners, on one side, as much as
for experienced climbers, on the other side.

Wedding Crashers

The
latest in vogue activity for young Brits in search of social activities
? To invite themselves to Indian weddings they were not invited to!
Anonymous quote : '' there is so much people invited that we easily get
unnoticed. We dance with girls and we discuss with with the elderly
people..'' And the gentleman add : '' all you need is to bring a wish
card, which you write on it the details, once arrived on location, after
getting the required informations on the name of the newly wedded from
some children on site.

( Personally I think it is clever and awesome. )

Go the F*ck to Sleep



The
Evil word... A humoristic but controversial book occupy the top
shelves of the best seller of Amazon.com and of The New-York Times since
a few months. Go the F*ck To Sleep present an adult version of the go
to bed child story. It is inspired by of the personal life of the
author, Adam Mansbach, dad of a young girl.



Unique ATM





The island of Niue, who is in the South Pacific Ocean, is happily
celebrating the arrival of it's first ATM machine! Until last July ,
the 1400 inhabitant of this 260 square kilometers territory had to queue
up at the only bank available. ( it was closed for the weekend. ) to do
their daily monetary transactions.
