Cagayan's Best Spot

Callao Cave is the best known tourist attraction of Cagayan Province. It is located in Barangays Parabba and Quibal, in the town of PeƱablanca, a thirty minute drive from the provincial capitol Tuguegarao.

Callao Cave is uncomplicated to explore but requires little test of patience as you go up the stair with close to 200 steps before seeing the colossal limestone and rock formations inside.

It is made up of seven chambers and various formations: the Column, Chapel, Skeleton, Elephant’s Head, Praying Angel, Rocket, Lion’s Head and Dog’s Head Formations. The Chapel, being featured in many tourism ads and postcards, is the main attraction of the cave (and of the whole Cagayan), it is a chamber turned into a cathedral by the locals. The place draws a dramatic picture as the skylight illuminates the hall through its opening.

World's Tallest Man?

Measuring an impressive 8ins taller than the previous record holder, Mongolia's Bao Xishun, it has long been suspected that Stadnyk should hold the official title of the world's tallest man.

No, this isn't a toy, but at 8ft 5ins Leonid Stadnik makes this car look like a Mini
But until now the 37-year-old former veterinarian has always refused to be officially measured for the Guinness Book of Records as he hates his height and didn't want to be famous.

How many tall men does it take to change a light bulb?

Technology Change

The creators of gScreen’s latest contraption (the SpaceBook Dual-screen laptop) knew it was getting harder and harder to shock the jaded technophile community when they went into the brainstorming sessions that eventually gave birth to this beast.
The SpaceBook offers two 17.3 inch screens on one machine capable of resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 each. The screens open by sliding and provide a massive 34 inch workspace for work, play, or just killing time on FaceBook. Each screen can display a separate image or they can be slaved to create one elongated display. In addition, you can leave the primary display in place if you want a single-screen machine for the time being and breakout the other if you find you need a little more room to play with.
