Although, it might not be a greatest feat for others, for Nepal it is no less than winning the contest title. That is because, in most of the contests Nepali models participate, they don’t win anything and none have won a contest title till date. So, we should congratulate Samriddhi for making us proud by bringing in something.

The WikiLeaks website was blocked in China on Wednesday in an attempt to save face to during the potentially embarrassing situation when the leaked U.S. diplomatic cables will be posted in the site. Now, WikiLeaks has joined the wide range of Western websites including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

World's largest penis – Sky Pillar erected in Longwan Shaman Amusement Park, China

Made of 6,500ft of straw wrapped around a steel structure, the giant phallus is a monster-sized 30 feet high and it stands on top of a 1,250-foot-tall Qinlong Hill. The erection, claimed to be the largest in the world is named Sky Pillar and has been built at Longwan Shaman Amusement Park in Changchun city.

“It is a totem of Shamanistic culture, which originated in this city,” says the president of the park, Cheng Weiguang.

Legend says a Shaman hero named Ewenki vanquished a cruel female ruler and gave her a penis totem, telling her to respect males and not kill them at will.

After this, the ruler set a penis totem on top of the hill, reports East Asia Economic and Trade News.

Shi Lixue, director of the China Folk Culture Association, backed the project, saying: “It symbolizes our ancestors’ pursuit of happiness and prosperity.”

And, although some tourists said they felt uncomfortable about the statue, others were unmoved.

“It’s just a pillar. I don’t care. It can be a symbol of the park,” said one mother who was visiting the park with her child.
