Brass Van – Probably the World’s Heaviest Art Car
The Brass Van is a unique art car completely covered with various brass items. Also known as the “California Fantasy Van”, this artwork on four wheels took 22 years to complete.
Hunter Mann is the present owner of the Brass Van, but it was actually his late godfather, Ernie Steingold, who crated it. A vacuum-cleaner repairman, Steingold first started adding brass to his 1975 GMC van, in the early 1980s and continued doing so for the next 20 years or so. It all started one day, when he decided to attach three brass elephants to the hood, as ornaments. Then he got it into his head to cover the vehicle with brass coins, and he did just that – around $15,000 worth of coins, at the time he finished the job. From there on in, he just kept adding brass.
Mann, the current owner of the Brass van, says there are around 5,000 pieces of brass presently attached to his vehicle, weighing about 10,000 pounds. In fact, this car is so heavy, its tires have to be changed every 4,000 miles, and I don’t even want to think about the mileage…
As you would expect, Hunter Mann gets pulled over by police, about once every five days. Most of the officers just want to ask him about his Brass van and take photos with it. Even though he gets asked the same questions every time, Mann never gets tired of answering them.
When it’s not on tour, the Brass Van can be found at ArtCar World, a museum for art cars, in Douglas, Arizona. Just in case you were wondering about how much such a unique vehicle costs, the Brass van was appraised at $350,000.

Eating insects for food
Experts from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN agreed with the opinion of scientists that should convince people to eat insects instead of meat.Firstly, in cricket and grasshoppers as much protein as a piece of meat for the steak.Secondly, their growth is much cheaper and requires less space.Experts note that the edible for humans are about 1400 species of insects.They are eaten in 36 African, 29 Asian and 23 countries in North and South America.And in some states of insects is considered a delicacy in others - the insects are part of the daily diet.
And if Mexico's fried insects you can buy just a tray with a street vendor, then in other Western countries such dishes - it is rather a refinement, which is served in expensive restaurants.For example, a New York restaurant of the Explorers Club, "annually arranges a reception during which serves dishes from the insects.
