                                  The nose knows.

Mehmet Özyürek (74), with his 8.8-centimeter-long nose, won the 
International Long Nose Competition (!) sponsored by a local TV 
station in Rize in both 1998 and 2000.   In 2011, Özyürek, who was
from Artvin, entered the Guinness Book of World Records thanks
to his nose. 

Unfortunately, as Özyürek was being prepared for an operation at
Rize State Hospital for a vein transplant he suffered a heart attack 
and died.  He will be buried in Artvin. 

Role model...

               Trucker's happy feet just couldn't resist. 

In Sultangazi, Istanbul, drivers in a wedding convoy stopped traffic on
Selçuklu Boulevard and began dancing the "horon".  A TIR (tractor-
trailer) driver coming from the opposite direction stopped too and 
joined in the "horon" dance. (!)  The scene was shared on social media. 

Another person on the road sat on the front hood of a moving car and
waved to another driver making a video of the dangerous action. 

                               Better not stop short.
