Man has over 10,000 URLs tattooed on his body

CANADA: This is a bizarre record for sure. Pat Vaillancourt has a record number of web addresses tattooed on his body. He has got over 10,000 URL’s on his back and shoulders, reports Oddity Central.

The 30-year-old Canadian was looking for a way to leave his mark on the world. And since he was neither an athlete nor a stuntman, he thought of this novel way to claim glory worldwide.

He also has a solid revenue model in place to help him earn some Canadian dollars. Those interested can pay $35 to have their URL tattooed on his body and listed on his website. He claims that over 16,000 firms have already reserved a spot on his body.

However, apart from raising money for his project, Pat also wants to share his wealth with those in need in Somalia and Haiti. He donates half of what he earns from clients.

Pat intends to get the first layer of 50,000 URLs tattooed in black ink, and the rest in fluorescent ink so that it is 'noticeable' in nightclubs.

It takes about 60-90 minutes to tatoo 100 URLs. So, with almost 15,000 URLs executed on his body already and another 16,000 to go, it will be another 10,000 – 12,000 work hours before Pat's entire body is covered in web addresses.

For those interested, please hurry, stocks limited!

The doomed ship had 25 life jackets on board, but six of them taken by the ship's crew, leaving the hundreds of panicking passengers to fight amongst themselves for the remaining 19 life jackets.

According to Surabaya SAR III office chief Sutrisno, the lack of safety equipment on board the ship made it difficult for the victims to survive the accident. He said the passengers had held onto the sinking remains of the ship, he said.
