The World's 10 Most Expensive Holiday Liquors

Surprise your friends and dependents by blowing your wad on booze that could buy a house.

Cognac from vintage 1811 – starting from $7,894.88


Cognac from vintage 1811 – starting from $7,894.88


The 1811 cognacs are also known as the “comet vintage”, since the Great Comet was up in the sky for 260 days out of that year. A lot of superstitious people think the comet is what made the cognac so good, which is why you’ll have to sacrifice a few paychecks for a bottle. For a cheaper alternative, look for booze bottled during the Substantially Less Impressive Comet.

Whisky Linkwood-Glenlivet, vintage 1898 - $19,012.16

Brandies may dominate the expensive alcohol market, but don’t go thinking that $200 for Johnnie Walker Blue is the most you can shell out for whiskey. This vintage comes in a one-of-a kind bottle, and was born right as the Linkwood-Glenlivet company was founded. It’s the priciest taste of Scotland you can find, right after Loch Ness Monster haggis. (Sorry, that’s everything we know about Scotland.)

Cognac Hennessy Silver Jubilee - $19,334.40


Cognac Hennessy Silver Jubilee - $19,334.40


Only 60 bottles were ever made, created to mark the Queen of England’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. It’s a blend of at least one-hundred-year-old cognacs, so don’t dismiss it as a n00b. Instead, sip it knowing you’re enjoying a beverage endorsed by both Queen Elizabeth II and Tupac.

Cognac A.E. DOR Soleil d'Austerlitz, vintage 1805 - $28,822.58

Cognac A.E. DOR Soleil d'Austerlitz, vintage 1805 - $28,822.58

What this booze lacks in notoriety, it makes up for in being damn near impossible to find. Only three bottles of this cognac were ever sold -- the owner of A.E. DOR kept a bottle for himself and gave the rest to the French president, because he hates America.

Snapchat Adding Video To Allow Longer Sexts

Well, that's not their version of the story. But it's one way to use it!

Graphic by Chris Ritter

A press release from Snapchat just announced the company's plan to add video to the probably-about-sexting app for teens:

“How this works: Instead of toggling back and forth between a photo and a video setting, we’ve combined them into one button. If you want to take a photo, just tap the button. If you want to capture video, hold the button down. When you’re done recording, lift your finger. Video snaps are up to ten seconds long, and like photo snaps, can only be viewed once in the application.”

As Snapchat explodes in popularity — more than 50 million images are being sent every day, and the company recently raised at least $8 million in backing — CEO Evan Spiegel appears to be just as delightfully and willfully averse to acknowledging his app's connection to sexting as ever, telling GigaOm: “Video for Snapchat is really going to double underline what we’re all about. You get to share these really raw, really engaging moments. It’s such a crazy, powerful medium. Because it’s totally okay to be yourself and hear how awkward you are.”

The update does, however, include a "friending" mechanism, wherein users have to accept friend requests from each other before being able to send each other snaps (whether pictures or, now, videos) — previously, users could send snaps to random usernames. Still, the app remains insecure as ever, even among friends (and the only thing worse than a motionless sext is a moving, audible one), but Spiegel is acknowledging as much: "We don’t want to get into an arms race with really clever people. Which is why we’re not advocating ourselves as a secure platform. We’re not for like, CIA documents,” he told GigaOm. Yessss. All those CIA documents lying around sexily, waiting to be Snapped.

12-Year-Old Australian Boy Is Pegged To Be The Next Usain Bolt

Don't blink. You might miss him.

12-year-old Australian James Gallaugher is being hailed as the next Usain Bolt after this 4x100m New South Wales primary schools championship race, where he erased a massive lead in the final stretch.

The video is curiously choppy, but numerous news outlets confirm this isn't a feat visual trickery. James Gallaugher is just that fast.

According to the Melbourne Herald Sun, Gallaugher ran the final leg of the 4x100 meter race in 11.72 seconds. For the sake of comparison, the fastest anchor leg ever in the 4x100m is 8.70 seconds, set by Asafa Powell during the 2008 Olympics. His coach, Scott Richardson, thinks Gallaugher is on a path to rack up gold medals one day.

When I talk about him with my wife and my family, we just say he is going to be the greatest sprinter we have ever had if he keeps improving at the rate which he is.

Via: heraldsun.com.au

His personal bests in the 100 meter and 200 meter sprints are the best in his age group in any country, not just Australia. His 200 meter record of 23.76 seconds is less than four seconds off Usain Bolt's world record. Did we mention he's 12 years old?
