Top 15 Selfies of Flight Attendants Across the World

Selfie is taking photos or pictures of your own using your own phone. You can also ask others to take the photo of yours if you wanted to have more view. Selfie photo can have one or more than one people. But I think selfie is more about just you and the camera of your phone producing a photo (self means you, me, etc).

During the Metallic Age of the world, they begun creating metal swords and other killing weapons made up of metals. There so many era that came, thus, the gunpowder, which leads to the weapons like guns, grenades and cannons. During the present time weapons are not used for hunting, but mainly for warfare.

Top 10 Longest Wars in History of the World

Wars also shaped the past and the present conditions of our beloved planet Earth. In a war, there will always be no winners because even though a country or infantry defeated and won a war against the opposing country, still, they also have many casualties. Wars consumed so many lives of people, money and resources. Wars happened in order to protect the territory and the people living in that territory. Some wars lasted for just couple of years but some lasted even more than 100 years. The main cause of war is abused of power, correct me if I am wrong but I think if someone got too much power, he will always wanted to demonstrate how powerful he is by making other countries under his command too, like Hitler. The most longest war in the history of the world is the the so called "Hundred Years War" wherein it lasted for 116 years. I can't imagine how pitiful the people that are living in France and England during that time of 116 years.

Top 10 Most Notorious Gangsters (Crime-lords)

Hoodlum, racketeer, lawbreaker, villain, criminal are some of the synonyms of the word "Gangster". He is someone who can be a member or leader of a gang who does any criminal actions, actions which are totally against the law. These gangsters will not be included in this list if they are not smart enough to live as fugitives not only for years but even more than decades. They even killed high-profiled persons not only once but hundreds of them. I am not praising their works but I am only shocked how brutal they are for doing these demonic things. What's really inside their heads? What do they want? They want money? They want fame, revenge, power? Or they just do it to satisfy their thirst for blood? Or maybe they already sold their souls to Satan? Well, well, well, I don't know the reason but one thing is for sure, no matter how cruel, or how bad you are, it doesn't matter whether you are the most wanted criminal ever, as long as you confessed your sins to God and repent sincerely, you can still go to heaven when you died. Now for this top 10 we are discussing some of the most notorious gangsters or "Crime lords" of all time.
