Funny look alikes you won't believe

How often has it happened to any of us? We’re walking down the street and something catches our eye. And the reason? Because it reminds us of something, or someone else. Apparently we all have a doppelganger somewhere on the planet – our ‘twin’ – and sometimes we even see them in real life, which can be a bit of a shock. However our ‘twin’ doesn’t always have to be another person, as this selection of brilliant images will clearly show you. There may be one individual characteristic that makes us stand out from the crowd, or it may just be a spooky coincidence. There are many instances where we see something and imagine how it could be something else, as typified in our article about Martin Feijoó, the cloud shaper who saw clouds as any number of things, and who would subsequently draw what his imagination allowed him to. Here you don’t have to draw anything, just let your imagination run riot! [h/t:Bored Banda]

How about Justin Timberlake’s hair and Ramen noodles for a start? Okay, we know that his image has changed a great deal from his N’Sync days, but we couldn’t resist this one.

If you have seen Pixar’s film Up you should be able to instantly recognise this gentleman as Carl. If you haven’t seen the film, we recommend you do – it is brilliant!

Now this one is seriously spooky as there is a very uncanny resemblance between the late Michael Jackson and the face on this Egyptian statue. Maybe reincarnation isn’t just a fantasy after all…..

We recently published a post with some fantastic dog lookalikes and we couldn’t resist including a few of our favorites here, especially this brilliant one of Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.

Someone clearly has a wicked sense of humour as this is very funny indeed. That looks like a chocolate-coated marshmallow cookie to us – oh hang on, no, that’s a man’s head!

One doesn’t want to get too personal in the comparisons, but this troll really does bear more than a striking resemblance to the pop diva Nikki Minaj!

A favourite image of ours from the dog lookalike post – it really is hard to tell the two apart but we are assured the dog on the left is definitely real and not a plush toy!

Another frightening similarity between two characters, one of which starred in the Loony Tunes cartoons. This is more than just a lookalike!

Okay, the burning question here is whether the homeless man looks like a male catwalk model, or does the male catwalk model look like a homeless man?

Maybe some people are just not meant to wear tight dresses. However with both these images resembling caterpillars one should assume they both evolved into beautiful butterflies.

South Park will always remain a ground-breaking show on TV and we have always wondered what the characters, like Cartman, get up to in their spare time. Now we know – they ride the bus!

We couldn’t resist including this dog lookalike of Sir Richard Branson – funny doesn’t even begin to describe the similarity between the two.

Maybe Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus really were separated at birth after all! This is a very clever comparison of the two.

This is just too cute for words. The similarity between this girl and her doll is as though they were destined to meet…..

Is this photo a coincidence or planned? Either way it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to work out that maybe this is not the perfect style for clothes, or a smartphone cover!

Imagine stepping out of the shower, grabbing the first towel to hand, only to then discover you are wiping your face with a dog – a Shar Pei to be precise!

There was a time when an old shirt or tee would be torn up and used for dusters. Today it seems they are designing clothes just like the old-fashioned feather ones…..

It took us two goes before we realised there was a dog in the middle of this photograph!

Could you ever imagine a sentence which asks the question “What have Kim Kardashian, Mrs Doubtfire and a sofa got in common?”

Ooh that’s so cute and cuddly! The fluffy animal looks quite nice too!! Taylor Lautner doing his best to match the smouldering good looks of an Alpaca.

Yep, us too! We didn’t notice there was someone in the back of this car either!

Usually when someone is described as being like the Michelin Man, it is not a compliment. Here however, it is the perfect description of this adorable baby.

TALIBAN IS BACK! here is the evidence...RIP #peshawar victims

Pakistan massacre

• Nation mournsLive
• Survivors tell of chaos
• School attack updates
• Pupils recall attack

Militants from the Pakistani Taliban have attacked an army-run school in Peshawar, killing 141 people, 132 of them children, the military say.

Officials say the attack in the north-western city is over, with all the attackers killed. Seven militants took part in all, according to the army.

Scores of survivors are being treated in hospitals as frantic parents search for news of their children.

The attack - the Taliban's deadliest in Pakistan - has been widely condemned.

Describing the attack from his hospital bed, Shahrukh Khan, 17, said a gunman had entered his classroom and opened fire at random.

As he hid under a desk, he saw his friends being shot, one in the head and one in the chest. Two teachers were also killed.

Funerals were under way in Peshawar on Tuesday evening

Victims were carried out of Peshawar hospitals directly in their coffins

Coffins were stacked at this hospital in Peshawar in readiness

School pupil Mohammad Baqair lost his mother, a teacher, in the attack

A Taliban spokesman told BBC Urdu that the school, which is run by the army, had been targeted in response to military operations.

Hundreds of Taliban fighters are thought to have died in a recent offensive in North Waziristan and the nearby Khyber area.

US President Barack Obama said terrorists had "once again shown their depravity" while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said it was "an act of horror and rank cowardice".

10 Highest Paying Jobs in Kenya and their salaries

10 Highest Paying Jobs in Kenya & Their Salaries

Bellow is a list of the 10 highest paying careers in the country.Read.....

10. Pilot/ Aviation Industry
Pilots are some of the best paid professionals not only in Kenya but the world over. Moreover, the high cost of training happens to be the only check that has stopped this career line from getting flooded.

A Wall Street journal in March 2013 reported that it takes Kenya Airways about Ksh 8.5 million to train a pilot. The same source alleges that a captain makes up to Ksh 1.1 million a month.

9. Engineering
With the country striving to catch up with the rest of the developed world, the need for engineers cannot be over-emphasized. It matters what engineering specialization one ventures into but new developments also play a part in how much you can earn. For example recent discoveries of oil might favour geo-spatial and energy engineers but massive infrastructural developments also work for the benefit of civil and structural engineers.

Depending on the firm you are affiliated with, engineering is a lucrative career. Remember you also need to have your math and sciences right. Salaryexplorer.com pegs the income of a project engineer at Ksh 550,000 on the higher side although this figure is not fixed.

8.  Media Presenters
The field has been ‘infiltrated’ as some media practitioners term it, by non-holders of communication qualifications but the truth is, this sector has become more of personal branding. Personalities with the ability to draw viewership or mass audiences have found a home in the media. These range from comedians, talk shows hosts and star presenters.

The earnings here are dictated by individual clout and some practitioners easily attract salaries similar to those of MPs. A female Citizen TV presenter has for a long while been said to earn to the tune of Ksh 800,000 while some popular stand up comedians also run shows that rake in colossal sums as well.

7. Lecturers
The flexibility of their jobs makes the career path enviable and some can shuttle between some of the increasing number of universities with ease. However, you need to have the patience of studying long and hard beyond the graduate, masters to PhD level in order to command a higher salary.

Though teaching has traditionally been viewed as barren grounds for money, some top dons in universities earn close to Ksh 500,000 per month. The field of study will also determine the demand and remuneration for your services.

6. Information Technology
The field has broadened with technological advances and newer careers are being invented with each passing day. More organizations too are finding the need for technology occupying core aspects of their operations hence the demand for professionals in IT disciplines. According to an IT expert, the cream of the profession in Kenya can earn over Ksh 500,000 a month.

5. NGO and Civil Societies
Non-governmental organizations offer some of the most competitive salaries in the job market. Depending on the budgets, often from donor funding, salaries can traverse in the range of six figures. Graduates of Law and Social Sciences are the most likely ones to land in this field.

According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, 2013 Economic Survey, the average monthly pay for an employee in NGO’s was Sh194, 000 last year, the highest amount in both the private and public sector. That’s just the average.

The most sought organizations include the United Nations and its affiliate bodies such as UNEP and UNHCR. Other known NGOs include: USAID and Oxfam.

4. Marketing
The field can be pretty unpredictable but established marketers make a fortune out of their careers. As the men and women in entrusted with a company’s brand, sales and market share, the growth of the company image can translate to high incomes and commissions for these professionals.

Marketers can earn as much as their sales can stretch with some in the leading banks and insurance companies are known millionaires.

3. Politics
Africa has a well-grounded culture that regards politics as one of the fastest avenues to riches. Count Members of Parliament, Governors, Senators and Members of the County Assembly in this list.

But politicians are not the only beneficiaries anymore; political activists, analysts, scholars, commentators, advisors and writers are some of the latest class of workers to make a career out of politics.

And media houses too bring these people on board and rake in massive viewership in return. Mutahi Ngunyi, Makau Mutua, Adams Oloo, and Benji Ndolo are some of the prominent names in this field besides research companies such as Ipsos-Synovate and Infotrack Harris.

The amount of money these organizations and analysts earn is not known but their popularity on TV stations is suggestive of their paychecks.

2.  Accounting, Actuaries, Finance Experts

As the custodians of an organization’s funds, professionals in this field wield a lot of power: monetary power. Their income too and job status cast statements on their own and depending on the organization you work for or volume of revenue the firm makes, the pay can be impressive. For those with a liking for numbers, this area of study is worth pursuing.

Estimates fromSalaryexplorer.com place the highest paid financial director at Ksh 805,000 per month. Still the average by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics 2013 estimates for financial services was KSH 100,000.

1. Medicine

This used to be the preserve of bright students but nowadays an average person with the will, resources and determination to last the entire course can give it a try. The pay in most cases is decent for medical doctors and finding employment after graduation is comparatively easier. On the downside though, you will have to content with long working hours and odd emergency calls. Moreover, the entry salary for a medical intern may be as low as Ksh 45,000 but with progression in the career, possibilities of hitting more than ten times that amount are high.

NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 6 Days of Total Darkness in December 2014!

- NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 6 days of almost complete darkness and will happen from the dates Tuesday the 16 – Monday the 22 in December. The world will remain, during these three days, without sunlight due to a solar storm, which will cause dust and space debris to become plentiful and thus, block 90% sunlight.

This is the head of NASA Charles Bolden who made the announcement and asked everyone to remain calm. This will be the product of a solar storm, the largest in the last 250 years for a period of 216 hours total. Reporters interviewed a few people to hear what they had to say about the situation with Michael Hearns responding “We gonna be purgin my n*gga, six days of darkness means six days of turnin up fam”.

Despite the six days of darkness soon to come, officials say that the earth will not experience any major problems, since six days of darkness is nowhere near enough to cause major damage to anything. “We will solely rely on artificial light for the six days, which is not a problem at all”, says NASA scientist Earl Godoy.

Woman Earns $20,000 Because She Looks Like Rihanna on Instagram

Andele Lara is a student from Boston who earned thousands of dollars last year just because she bears an eerie resemblance to a certain "spicy" singer. She's constantly mistaken for Rihanna and says the only thing the two don't share in common is a beautiful singing voice.

Well, to be fair, Andele, Rihanna also probably made more than $20,000 from being Rihanna last year. Probably a lot more. Now I just have to think about how much money Rihanna made last year and it just upsets me. Thanks, Andele Lara. Thanks a lot.

As BuzzFeed reports, Lara's Instagram, which boasts more than 30,000 followers, is now sadly private (due to a little dust-up with Rihanna's navy over Lara's look-alike status) but she says she would give up everything in order to make a career out of being a Rihanna impostor. It seems she's already well on her way; clothing companies have been paying her lots of money to promote their brands, and with people not being able to tell the two apart, she's probably going to ride the gravy train all the way to 30, 40, or even 50 thousand a year. The sky's the limit, right?
