Workmen mining sulfur from a live volcano

Jobs do not get too much more dangerous than pulling sulfur straight out of an active volcano — and all for $5 a day. Photographer Troyce Hoffman, 30, accidentally stumbled upon the sulfur mine on Kawah Ijen, on the Indonesian island of Java, when checking out the active volcano.
Finnish brewery made 1,000-packs of beer and people are actually buying them
Look at this 1,000 pack of beer, ye mighty, and despair: it's only available in Finland. Created by the Finnish brewery Nokian Panimo, this behemoth of a party pack actually contains 1,080 cans of Keisari, made by combining five stacks of beer, each 12 beers wide by 18 beers long according to GrubStreet.

Ensimmäisille ostajille yksi Keisariämpäri kaupan päälle! #uutuus#keisari#nokianpanimo#olut#tarjous A post shared by Nokian Panimo (@nokianpanimo) on Apr 25, 2017 at 4:01am PDT This behemoth of a package is quite the monument to behold, and it was all constructed in the name of being petty. Rival beer Karjala released a 100-pack of beer last month which, obviously, now pales in comparison to this lifetime supply. A post shared by Nokian Panimo (@nokianpanimo) on Apr 28, 2017 at 12:31am PDT The 1,000 pack is being sold in Finnish supermarkets for €2,150 each, or about $2,345. That's a little more than $2 a beer, about the same bulk discount as your average 6 pack. That being said, the machismo of a 1,000 pack? Priceless. A post shared by Jonas (@jonas.from_hell) on May 2, 2017 at 2:27am PDT These things aren't exactly flying off the shelves (read: they were probably never expected to), presumably because any amount of beer that requires a pallet truck to transport seems like more effort than it's worth. Remarkably, there have been sightings of customers actually purchasing the entire packs.

Grocery stores are starting to break down the packs into smaller packs as of May 1. WATCH: Someone staged military rationed food as Michelin-starred plates
Iranians must give Rouhani second term to make good on nuclear deal: vice president
By Alissa de Carbonnel TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's president must get a second term to secure the economic benefits that he promised would result from a diplomatic thaw with the West, Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar said ahead of a May 19 election. Hassan Rouhani's hardline challengers for the presidency, some of whom are close to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, say he traded away too much in a 2015 deal with world powers that limited Iran's nuclear work but failed to deliver sufficient rewards. In a rare interview with a trio of foreign reporters at an EU-Iran business forum on Sunday, Ebtekar, one of Iran's 12 vice presidents, said voters should not give up on Rouhani.
