I came across this hilarious video yesterday. Simply called "Stop Looking At Your Phone" it's a pretty cool parody of Downton Abbey highlighting our dependence on our phones. It's done by "The Britishes" who I had never heard of before. The script is well put together and putting aside the terrible English accents it is very funny. The bit at the end with the Titanic had me in fits of laughter. And yes I know what you are thinking...I did watch it on my phone.

Clearly this ferret does not spend a lot of time on the internet. If he had of he would have come across loads of videos showing cats failing miserably at attempting jumps just like this one. Talking about cats have you checked out Jedi Cats?

Sometimes life can be very cruel as this poor, sweet little girl finds out. Fortunately, her painful life lesson turned into a prize-winning video on "America's Funniest Home Videos." Lets hope that now her father, the guy with slow reflexes, should be able to buy her a new toy fairy. He just needs to keep it far away from the fireplace this time.

OK this is definitely one of the better Halloween pranks that I have seen. Also, if you are looking to count your blessings a little early this year, be thankful that you weren't the guy in the elevator at the end of this video. Yikes. Personally I think that I would have a heart attack and pee in my pants if this happened to me. if you enjoyed watching this then click HERE to watch the insane Japanese dinosaur prank.

I've heard of dogs doing amazing things for their owners before but this takes the cake. Bennett, who happens to be a cattle dog, not only retrieves a beer for his "parched" owner on command, but also opens the refrigerator to do so and closes it after he's grabbed the bottle of beer. How cool is that? Bennett has probably set the awesome bar for dogs to an unreachable height. Well, that is unless his next move is to walk down the street and pickup two college coeds to enjoy the beer with his master. If you enjoyed watching this then click HERE to watch a dog fishing.

This is pretty impressive when you consider that I struggled to get my waiter last night just to bring me one beer. Oliver Struempfel, a 38-year-old tax inspector, set a new world record on Sunday at the Gillamoos beer festival in Abensberg by carrying 27 mugs of beer more than 130 feet. The haul weighed approximately 147 pounds, and Struempfel said he wouldn't have been able to do it without "training in a fitness center, especially in winter time." Strangely enough he only had to beat just one other competitor, and that poor bastard wound up looking like a complete plonker next to the champ even though he was carrying damn near 20 liters himself.

From what I can make out, a few people in a boat on a river in Brazil came across this absolute beast of a snake. One of them, the high-pitched screamer, reacts the way we all would while the other two seem to be all about messing around with this beast of a snake. Lucky for them, it looks like it had itself a giant snack very recently. This might just be the only reason that these idiots are still alive.

Have you ever had one of those days at work where you just want to say,"F**k it. I quit"? Well, this news reporter did and she was brave enough to follow through with it ... on live television no less.

 

KTVA Anchorage reporter Charlo Greene was in the middle of a report on the Alaska Cannabis Club when the tone of her report took a turn. It just so happens that she is also the owner of that club and since she wants to spend all of her time and efforts on legalizing marijuana in Alaska, she felt she had no other choice than to quit her day job and concentrate on what is important to her.

 

That led to her glorious f-bomb and walk off the set, all of which was caught on camera. Watch it and enjoy. And maybe cringe. Perhaps the funniest part is watching the flustered news anchor try to handle the situation when they turn the cameras back on her.

Right boys Mad Max is back - and still mad - in "Fury Road," the fourth film in the post-apocalyptic action franchise. This is the first installment in the franchise in nearly 30 years, since 1985's "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome." A word of warning: Don't expect to learn too much by way of the story from merely watching the trailer. This is little more than appetizer, filled with intense stares, snatches of action scenes and lots and lots of desert dust. One thing we do learn, though: "Fury Road" features some huuuuge car stunts. As with the previous installments, the story is set in apost-apocalyptic wasteland where water and gasoline are more valuable than human life - especially if those in search of it are among the roving bands of marauders that wreak havoc everywhere they go. And the best thing of all is that it was filmed right next door in Namibia.

The hottest video on the web right now is of a hot chick returning home to Murrysville, Pennsylvania for the first time in two years and her pet schnauzer passing out from extreme excitement. Although in fairness to the dog two human years is about 14 dog years so the dog probably was entitled to be a little bit overwhelmed. This video has racked up over 21 million hits on Youtube alone which is saying something. If you are a dog lover and enjoyed watching this then you might want to check out Dog Wants a Kitty.

If one you were given a choice, Star Wars or cats, which one of the two would you choose? Why choose when you can have the best of both worlds. It would appear that the "Force" is strong in some of our little feline friends. While cats may be cute, small and innocent looking, it would appear that they too can be corrupted by the seductive power of the Dark Side of the Force.

I remember when I was a teenager being absolutely terrified when I went on the Space Mountain roller coaster ride at Disneyland for the first time. Having just taken a look at the ride featured on this video I think that I can quite safely say that I was a bit of a coward. This insane nearly 100 foot total free fall at 55MPH is one of the most crazy rides on the planet. There is literally nothing between you and the net below. The ride is called "Sky Tower" and is located at Tivoli Friheden in Denmark.

This video, titled "Everyday Football Fouls," is a highly accurate and pretty much spot on depiction of what our day-to-day lives would resemble if we all took dives like the football players of the world do.

I am a huge fan of John Oliver and the Last Week Tonight show. If you havn't watched his show before then all I can say is that you are missing out on something absolutely brilliant. In a nutshell the Last Week Tonight tv show is a half-hour topical comedy series hosted by John Oliver, presenting a satirical look at the week's news, politics and current events. It's a bloody brilliant show. On the latest episode John Oliver probably put it best by saying that Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States, was probably best known for "dying two years into his first term." Of course that "was" until he brings up the fact that Harding had a thing for his neighbor's wife and that he wrote what he calls "Smutty F@ck Notes" to her.

Three Beat Slide’s second single,Skip Skip Slide, has divided opinion –some hate it, somethink it’s the most horrendous thing they’ve ever seen. Before you attempt to watch this I must tell you that I did not manage to watch the entire thing. If you do manage to get through this whole video then remember that this is two minutes and forty two seconds of your life that you will never get back.

Have you ever wondered just how awesome America could have been if they had of lost the War of Independence to the British? As part of its No Bollocks campaign Newcastle Brown have created a series of films that lead up to Independence Day in the US - and a bit before that, Independence Eve.This is the new holiday they want to introduce us to where we can all celebrate the country the US could have become if they hadn't spoilt everything by gaining independence 300 years ago. Stephen Merchant tellsit like it is - or rather, like it could have been.  It's a well thought out argument that does make you think.

A while back we featured a killer clown prank video. The three-minute video - which has now been watched by millions of people on YouTube - showed the scary-looking clown shocking different strangers with his violent ways. Anyway the guys who put it together have gone ahead and scared the crap out of a whole new bunch of unsuspecting victims all over again. This time, along with the now classic dummy rigged with a head that shoots blood everywhere the minute the clown wacks it, they've added a chainsaw, pyromania, and some freaky music to the mix.

I couldn't figure out if this is a real or fake video. If it's real then I have to say that if I was in this guys place I would have peed in my pants.

According to an article in the Daily Mail,a Japanese cookie maker has come up with the greatest cookie of all-time, one that will enhance a woman's breast size if she eats justtwo of them on a daily basis. The makerssay that eating just two a day will create a noticeable difference inbreast size, and they have spread in popularity not only through Japan but other parts of Asia. Subtly named ‘F cup cookies’ the biscuits contain 50mg of Pueraria Mirifica (a plant extract found in plant in northern and north eastern Thailand) extract per cookie.The plant Pueraria Mirifica contains a molecule similar to oestrogen known as Miroestrol which mimics the biological activities of the hormone. Whether or not their claims are true, we're pretty sure it's accurate tosay both products sound a lot tastier than "Fresh Cemen Dip" from Gama.

I am huge fan of British humour and in particular Harry Enfield. I came across this sketch by accident this morning in which he plays the part of a not-so-tight-lipped South African chemist. His accent is great and it makes for hilarious viewing as he enquires about a customer's family and stools, makes genitalial faux pas toward a customer and gives out other sensitive information.

OK we all know that there are some things that are really dangerous and that we shouldn't do them. There are however some really unusual ways that you can end up dying as this video clearly shows us. Did you know that over 6000 people a year die from texting and driving in the US alone and that hippos kill over 500 people a year. The only bit I didn't understand is how exactly tv can kill you.

A Dutch girl band called ADAM have successfully launched their new single by by releasing a video of them attempting to sing the song while reaching orgasm courtesy of an off-camera vibrator. I have to be honest and say that it took me a while to realise that the buzzing sound that I was hearing was not part of the song. Using a vibrator, three of the ADAM ladies (there are five in the band) do their very best to keep a straight face – for the first half of the song at least. Gathering that they have got over seven million hits on Youtube in the last few days and that I can't get this song out of my head it would appear that their unusual approach has worked.

I thought that this was quite amusing and showed some initiative. A guy (Cenek) wants revenge on his buddy (Erik) for giving him sleeping pills and having him wake up in his bed in the middle of town.To switch it up a bit, Cenek took Erik far away from town to the middle of nowhere where he had two creepy figures waiting to scare Erik. One was in the middle of the road, while the other was hiding in the trunk.It's safe to say that Cenek succeeded and Erik's gonna have to step it up to top him the next go round. Should be interesting to see what he comes up with.

This looks like it's going to be flippin great movie and I can't wait to watch this. "A Million Ways To Die In The West" is Seth MacFarlanes follow-up to the massively successful ‘Ted'. This movie has one kick ass cast that includes Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Silverman and of course Seth MacFarlane himself. From what I can make out Seth MacFarlane plays the role of the cowardly sheep farmer Albert. After Albert backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend leaves him for another man.

I have never been a fan of the whole twerking phenomenon. For those of you who don't know twerking is the act of moving/ shaking ones ass/buns/bottom/buttocks/bum-bum in a circular, up-and-down, and side-to-side motion. It's basically a slutty dance that in all likelyhood was derived from strip clubs. Anway this video shows us that second hand smoke is probably healthier for children than to be around parents who decide to give twerking a try.

Wolverine time travels to a time before the first X-Men movie to, yes you guessed it, save the world.

Philip Seymour Hoffman may no longer be with us, but thankfully he's left a couple completed films to help soften the blow of his tragic loss. "God's Pocket" has been described as a "deliciously twisted comedy" and stars the late Philip Seymour Hoffman as Mickey. I am told that this is one of two movies that he acted in before sadly passing away. Based on a novel by Pete Dexter, the film follows Mickey Scarpato, who tries to cover up the death of his stepson in a"construction accident." But when a journalist latches on to the story,Mickey finds things going from bad to worse.

The "Slow Mo Guys" is a really cool web based series that consists of different things being filmed in extreme slow motion using a range of high-speed cameras, capable of shooting over 10,000 frames per second. Daniel Gruchy, one-half of the Slow Mo Guys, is seen slapping the mousetraps with his hands in this impressive 2,500-frames-per-second clip.

I had some serious doubts about this but it wasn't quite as cheesy as I thought it would be. Every boy has wanted to be Superman at some point in his life and thanks to the guys over at Corridor Digital,you can now experience the world from Superman's point of view.  using a drone they shot footage over Los Angeles and used actors to simulate a day out as Superman if he had a GoPro camera strapped to his head.

I have never actually watched the Super Bowl but every year I am amazed at the huge amounts of money that big corporations spend on creating commercials for them. The one that everyone is talking about is this year’s Audi commercial.The car brand is making some kind of bigpoint about car hybrids by introducing America to the Doberhuahua. Yeah,that’s a dog made up of part Doberman and part Chihuahua. If you enjoyed watching this commercial then you should click HERE to watch the Budweiser Super Bowl commercial.

I though that this was pretty clever. Channel 4 launched a spoof online sickie service encouraging UK viewers to stay up late and watch its coverage of the Super Bowl that aired this past Sunday. The Monday following the Super Bowl coincided with the first Monday in February which was expected to see the highest number of people calling into work claiming to be sick than any other day of the year in the UK. The video is pretty cool as it takes you through a step by step guide to playing sick and getting out off work. Lets face it we have all been there and done this before and chances are will be doing it again soon.

According to their website, the Learn for Life Foundation of Western Australia is a non-profit organisation promoting the importance of education for people of all ages. Their brand new video commercial called "Set Yourself Free" shows just what might happen if you ditch school. As public service announcements go, this one definitely takes an unexpected turn about halfway through, and goes where most PSAs do not. Tell us, would this have kept you from playing hooky in school? Is that even the actual point of this, or do you think it's a spoof on serious PSAs? Either way, is the ad effective, funny or just wrong?

When I heard that this commercial had been banned I presumed that this was because of nudity or something like that. 'Sorry, Coke & Pepsi' is the uncensored version of SodaStream's commercial for the Super Bowl.This commercial was pulled by Fox because it takes a jab at Coke and Pepsi. It turns out that Coke and Pepsi just so happen to be the television company's two biggest advertisers and they didn't take lightly to this commercial. Oh well, maybe this will make SodaStream consider using nudity in their commercials for next year's Super Bowl.

We have a strange habit of idolizing criminal masterminds. Even thieves who don’t necessarily share their robbed riches with the poor still seem to retain the adoration of fans who live vicariously through their daring escapades. Who hasn't watched The Thomas Crown Affair and wanted to be just like the main character in the movie. Perhaps we live such boring lives that we like to live through their callous disregard for society's rules and regulations. In December 2002, thieves pulled off one of the most inexplicable diamond heists of all time at a science museum in The Hague, Netherlands. I always thought that I was pretty good at solving puzzles but I can't crack this one. If anyone out there manages to figure out just how these guys pulled this off please let the rest of us know.

Craft beer aficionados like myself know that ordering a decent pint in a bar can make you feel silly. (Every time I ask a bartender for a "Quills Kalahari Gold", I want to crawl under my bar stool and die.) The folks behind Nacho Punch know a little something about silly names, and have made a cool video about the lengths breweries go to to set their brands apart.The bit at the end where the guy orders the Bud Light beer and the barman tells him where to get off is hilarious.

I really don't know why it took me so long to come across this. Apparently back in October 2011 Sting celebrated his 60th birthday with a concert in New York that featured a stacked lineup of performers who sang the former Police front man's most-beloved songs with him. While the evening saw the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel cover Sting's tunes, there was an unlikely performer who stole the show - actor Robert Downey Jr. The Iron Man joined Sting and his band for a righteous and extremely impressive cover of The Police gem "Driven To Tears."

South Park is an animated series featuring four foul-mouthed 4th graders,Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. The show is set in the Colorado town of South Park where weird things keep happening, whether its being abducted by aliens or avoiding Kyle's little brother Ike. Back then it was and still is today one of the funniest shows around. I guess what makes it so amusing is that they really don't hold back and tackle issues that most people wouldn't touch with a fifty meter barge pole. The show is intended for mature audiences with its crude language and dark humour. With over 300 episodes having been produced there are loads of great scenes. Here are my top five favourite scenes from South Park.

I really used to enjoy watching 21 Jump Street many years ago. I had my doubts about 22 Jump Street which is an upcoming movie based on the original series but having just watched this kick ass trailer I am going to have to say that I was wrong. It looks hilarious and I can't wait to watch this.

Ok so part of me never grew up and I have to admit that every once in a while I like to watch South Park. South Park and its main protagonist Eric Cartman are known for laying into pretty much everyone and everything. Now they are having a go at Jacob Zuma being booed at the Mandela memorial. Last year one of their episodes caused quite a bit of trouble when it incited violence against red heads and started what has become known as National Kick a Ginger Day in Canada.

Chances are that you will never look at your clothes in the same way again after watching this video. Did you know that boat shoe soles were modeled after dog paws to keep you from slipping on slippery wet surfaces? Did you know that your socks absorb nearly half a liter of sweat every day? How gross is that? These are just a couple of the odd, amazing, gross and cool facts you'll learn from watching this video.

I spent Christmas at a little sea side town called Betty's Bay this year. While I was there I visited the local penguin colony. There must have been thousands of these smelly dodgy looking penguins there and it got me thinking - what if penguins are planning on taking over the world? Think about it for a moment. While a lot of people are awaiting the overthrow of the human race by zombies, robots or aliens, they would never expect this. While we continue gawking at them with wide, admiring eyes at the aquarium, we might be doing so without knowing that we are admiring our own downfall. What we refer to as their so called cuteness is probably just the penguins' way of masking their master plan of world domination. They're cute and they know it. They've also been boxed into zoos and aquariums long enough to know that cuteness is a human's weakness. So while we're distracted by their adorableness, their little penguin brains continue to ruminate...and plot... and scheme.

I know that pretty much everything tasts better with bacon in it but does everything smell better with bacon in it? Believe it or not a company called J&D Foods is marketing a bacon deodorant aptly called "Bacon Power". Apparently these guys love bacon so much that they also make and sell bacon lip balm, bacon shaving cream, and maybe weirdest of all, bacon sunblock. I have this image in my mind of someone applying this deodorant only to find themselves being followed around by every dog in the neighbourhood. So there you go, if you want to smell like a sweating pig buy "Bacon Power Deodorant".

I though this was quite amusing. This guy thought it would be funny to set up a hidden camera and prank his girlfriend by telling her that he cheated on her. Things don't go his way and his girlfriend's reaction sends the guy into hysterics. Personally I think that these two are perfect for each other. This girl gives as good as she gets.

Chances are that you heard about the rioting and looting that took place last week in the Cape Town CBD.

What’s with this novelty facial hair? When did it become cool to look like a seventies porno star? Ok I know that the idea behind Movember is to raise money for mens health but seriously guys if you feel that strongly about it just give them the money. I would like to take this opportunity to set the record straight right now at the beginning of November before things get out of hand. Moustaches are like airline food, they are crap.

This poor little three year-old kid is dealing with a real dilemma.Luckily, his parents taped it and now we all get to laugh at it. The little guy seems really concerned about overflowing the toilet as he contemplates everything he ate, from apples to cheesestrings to "chocolate things." There are a couple of strong grunts thrown in for good measure. Hopefully everything worked out ok for the little guy and he learned a valuable lesson. His statement: "I don't even know why I ate that much food" might be one of the most relatable statements ever made in human history.

1. NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE

There are loads of great student movies but I think the one that still sets the standard is the 1978 classic Animal House. It's got a great script and an awesome cast. The plot can be best be summarised by saying that it is about a misfit group of fraternity members who challenge the dean of Faber College. There are some absolutely hilarious scenes in this movie. This film inspired scenes in just about every other movie on this list,and is also a crucial component in the 6-degrees from Kevin Bacon phenomenon.

This looks pretty cool. Sporting an impressive cast that includes amongst others Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper it's about a con man and his partner forced to work for a wild FBI agent andare  pushed into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia. I hardly recognised Bale who sports an impressive goatee, a full head of shaggyshoulder-length hair and, most notably, a fuller figure and beer belly.

I read an interesting article yesterday called 10 Services of the Super Rich. Some of them made perfect sense as they were designed to cut down on wasted time but there was one I could not get my head around. It turns out that for $20,000 (that's about R200 000) you can pay what's called a "Christmas Tree Stylist" to decorate your Christmas Tree. This doesn't make any sense to me. Firstly half the fun of having a Christmas Tree is in putting it up and decorating it. I used to look forward to doing that with my brother and sister every year. Secondly R200 000 is a hell of a lot of money when you consider that the tree gets taken down in early January meaning it's only up for a short period of time. This just seemed like a waste of money to me.

I came across this video by chance on Youtube and it's an absolute shocker. With a title that reads: "Is this the most spoilt child in Britain" you just know that you are going to end up watching it. It's a bit like when you drive past an accident and you know that you shouldn't look at it but you just can't help yourself. I think that the parents are to blame for this nonsense. I just feel sorry for the poor guy who will end up marrying this girl as his life will be ruined.

I am a huge fan of Jude Law and judging by the trailer I would say that this movie was tailor made for him. After spending 12 years in prison for keeping his mouth shut, notorious safe-cracker Dom Hemingway is back on the streets of London looking to collect what he's owed. It's got a great cast that includes Jude Law, Richard E. Grant and Demian Bichir.

I can't help but think that Cheers was one of the best Sitcoms to grace our tv screens. Can you think of a show with a more impressive cast? Regulars on Cheers included Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, George Wendt, Kirstie Alley, Kelsey Grammer, Shelley Long and Woody Harrelson. Too top it of it had a great script resulting in some hilarious scenes. In case you never got around to watching it on tv here's a quick summary. Sam (Ted Danson), a former pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, owns and runs Cheers, a cozy bar in Boston.

However, last year she was deemed too hot to compete for Miss Italy again, which was just stupid if you ask me. I managed to track down a pretty cool video with a cool soundtrack which will certainly help the boys out there get there day going.

This is a true story and it's pretty freaky to say the least. I always thought that I was good at figuring out unsolved mysteries but this one has got me stumped. The Mary Celeste was launched in Nova Scotia in 1860. Her original name was “Amazon”. Over the next 10 years she was involved in several accidents at sea and passed through a number of owners. The Amazons first captain, Robert McLellan died nine days after taking command. He was the first of three captains to die aboard her. Eventually the Amazon turned up at a New York salvage auction where she was purchased for $3,000 and renamed the “Mary Celeste”.

This group of guys in New Zealand decided to pull a prank on one of their friends by attaching beer kegs to every tap in the house. As soon as the target, a poor sap named Russ, took off for the day, the gang stormed underneath his house and installed the kegs. Not only did the guys tape the entire set-up, they also installed cameras throughout the house so we could all revel in the reaction shots. As you can imagine, just about every reaction shot involved a lot of smiling and a swig of beer. We all wish we had friends like these.

This new advert by Guinness is causing quite a stir, and you don't have to love the Irish drink to appreciate its heartwarming nature.

The advert begins with a group of muscular men playing an intense game of wheelchair basketball. 'The choices we make reveal the true nature of our character,' says the narrator. You may need a Guinness to wash away that lump in your throat after this heart string-pulling advert that's so very different to the other beer adverts.

I am huge fan of the awesome food television series "Man vs Food" that is hosted by Adam Richman. In case you don't know in each episode, Adam explores the "big food" offerings of a different American city before facing off against a pre-existing eating challenge at a local restaurant. Some of the challenges are insane such as eating 600 oysters in an hour. This episode however filled me with dread. I have always loved cooking and eating hot spicy food but after watching this video I have to admit that I would not be able to handle this. If you enjoy watching this then click HERE to check out more of Adams challenges. PS: I refuse to believe that the hottest curry? in the world is in America and not Britain.

What an amazing video about two young people having the adventure of their lifetimes hiking the Appalachian Trail. For those of you who don't know the Appalachian Trail is a 3,500 km hike that starts in Georgia and ends in Maine. To put things in perspective that is longer than walking from Cape Town to Windhoek, then back again and then still walking anouther 500kms. This couples amazing journey began on March 1 and ended six months later on August 26. Those who manage to successfully complete it in one attempt are called Thru-hikers. This amazing video should serve as a reminder to us all that life is for living and that nothing no matter how daunting at first is impossible. Plus it's got a great soundtrack featuring Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and David Crowder Band that will help you get your weekend off to a good solid start.

Japanese TV shows are notoriously weird and whacky, but this could just be the most insane prank to date. A poor hapless office worker gets the shock of his life when he is suddenly confronted by a Jurassic Park-style dinosaur. The man is first seen calmly sauntering down the corridor with a cup of coffee in his hand. He then notices fellow workers running from something and, from the look on his face, begins to realise something is wrong. But when a man wearing a dinosaur suit- that looks like those vicious Raptors from the Jurassic Park films -pokes his head around the corner he nearly jumps out of his skin.The terrified man bolts down the corridor stumbling several times along the way as he desperately tries to escape. Can't say I blame him. I would have peed in my pants.

Vesuvius erupts and destroyes the Roman city nearly 2,000 years ago. The new teaser trailer for the upcoming movie starts with falling ash and the famous ‘frozen’ people of Pompeii, stuck in the poses they held at the moment that the volcano destroyed the city. The movie isn’t all ash though. There’s also people making out and fighting — and lots of explosions.

Quite clearly the guys running the zoo are yet to watch Disneys The Lion King.

The aircraft then began to close the gap as it accelerated quickly towards take-off. The stunt was carried out to publicise the launch of BA's A380, in particular the airline’s new flights to Johannesburg,which begin early next year.

For those of you who don't know Man v. Food is a kick ass American food television series. The program is hosted by actor and food enthusiast Adam Richman. In each episode, Richman explores the "big food" offerings of a different American city before facing off against a pre-existing eating challenge at a local restaurant. I think this is one of the greatest TV shows of our time – this guy has gleefully ploughed his way through culinary monstrosities like a seven-pound burrito, a metre-long bratwurst, and a 12-patty cheeseburger without even breaking a sweat.

The weather has been pretty cold, wet and miserable lately so I have been spending my evenings watching some great British comedy series. I came across a great series last night called "Not The Nine O'Clock News" which was shown on BBC2 in the early eighties. It has a great cast that includes Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson and Mel Smith. I just can't figure out what the best British comedy series is. There is some serious competition that includes the likes of Monty Python and Only Fools And Horses. Do yourself a favour and watch these clips they are hilarious.

Late last week Malema officially launched the EFF and outlined some of its policies which effectively aim at turning South Africa into a socialist country which includes the expropriation of land and the  nationalisation of banks and mines without compensation. He has also promised that no one convicted of fraud will be allowed to lead the party. If you want to get your week started on a low point then watch this video.

This is one for the boys. This video of Candice Swanepoel is currently doing the rounds. I have absolutely no idea what it is that they are selling or promoting but who cares. Lets face it she is a goddess and about the best thing to come out of South Africa.

This is worth watching not so much because it will make you laugh but rather because you need to see just how stupid some people can be. We can only hope that the participants in this video will never breed.I thought that the soundtrack "Somewhere over the Rainbow" was a nice touch.

The really informative and entertaining Ze Frank is back, reciting poignant facts about a rather strange little animal called a Tarsier. I have to admit this is one of the freakiest animals I have come across. Come on people watch the video and finish your weekend more educated on all matters tarsier-related and if you enjoyed watching that then click HERE to find out about a rather creepy creature called an Aye Aye.

Just when I thought I had seen it all I came across this video on Youtube. Someone has compiled a pretty hilarious video of actresses heads exploding. If you were thinking that this was a once off thing think again. There is also "Exploding Actresses-Disney Princesses", "Exploding Actresses-Titanic" and "Exploding Actresses-Love Movies" which is my personal favourite.

Someone has gone and put the whole internet in one video, well, at least some of it. Considering that YouTube is only about 8 years old, we shouldn’t be doing too many crazy retrospectives yet, but the occasional compilation is ok. Especially when it actually contains funny videos with some very well matched songs. The strength of this compilation is actually the music, which makes the transitions funny even when the next video isn’t.My favourite bit is the Indian dude tossing the dough. What more can I say that dudes got some serious talent.

In a bizarre chase a "hormonal" giraffe in the Eastern Cape was captured chasing down his prey - nine tourists on a game-viewing vehicle. The video, posted on YouTube, has since gone viral. I couldn't help but think that this reminded me of the scene in Jurassic Park with the T-Rex chasing the jeep.

This movie looks like it's going to be well worth watching. It features Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsc as two highway road workers who spend the summer away from their city lives repairing a stretch of road.

I came across this music video by chance and really enjoyed watching it. The whole thing was shot right here in Cape Town and it makes you realise just how beautiful this city really is. It also made think that I have had enough of winter and can't wait for summer to arrive.

Have you ever seen something so freaky it's funny? On the latest episode of True Facts, my favorite amateur biologist Ze Frank enlightens us on all matters related to one of nature’s freakiest looking creatures — the Aye-Aye. There aren't too many things in nature that freak me out but this creature looks like it comes straight from hell.

All I seem to be posting these days are trailers for upcoming movies but it's hard not to when you take a look at just how many awesome movies are being released lately. You can't go wrong with a cast that includes Will Ferrell, Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. This looks like it's going to be hilarious.

I had my doubts when I first heard that LEGO were bringing out a movie but having just watched this trailer I have to admit I got this wrong. The trailer looks awesome and stars the vocal talents of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. How could you go wrong with a crew like that?

This is the trailer to the sequel for the awesome movie 300. I think this is going to be a must see for pretty much every guy out there. 300 had some amazing fight scenes and judging by this trailer we are in for some more. Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in thebreathtaking visual style of the blockbuster "300," this new chapter ofthe epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leadingthe charge that will change the course of the war. "300: Rise of an Empire" pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forcesled by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy. Click HERE to watch what I consider to be the best fight scene from 300.

For all you Hobbit fans out there you can breathe a collective sigh of relief as the trailer for the next installment of the Hobbit franchise was released yesterday. I thought that the first movie deviated too much from the book but still made for great entertainment. The second installment looks awesome.

If you haven't guessed by now I am huge fan of British comedy. Only Fools and Horses is a British sitcom, created and written by John Sullivan. Seven series were originally broadcast on BBC One between 1981 and 1991. This is one of my favourite scenes with the immortal line "Play it nice and cool son, know what I mean" muttered by Del. If you enjoy watching this then click HERE to check out some of their other hilarious exploits.

This commercial has been around for a while now but it's still pretty cool. I am not a huge golf player but you have to admit that this commercial spices the game up a bit.

I am a huge fan of British comedy and in particular a sketch called "A Bit of Fry and Laurie". It's a hilarious British sketch comedy television series written by and starring former Cambridge Footlights members Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, broadcast on both BBC1 and BBC2 between 1989 and 1995. It ran for four series and totalled 26 episodes, including a 35 minute pilot episode in 1987. This is an absolutely brilliant sketch called Oprah which takes the mickey out of American talk shows.

It's a cold, wet and pretty miserable Saturday morning in Cape Town and I find myself laying in bed watching some of my favourite music videos. My dog seems to be laboring under some misguided notion that I am going to be getting out of bed and taking him for a walk...dream on buddy. Anyway I was listening to some of my all time favourites like Natural Blues by Moby, One by U2, Freedom by George Michael, Leaving New York by REM, November Rain by Guns N' Roses, Hurts Like Heaven by Coldplay just to name a few when I hit gold. Check out the video above entitled "Skeleton Crew" by a band called Kovacs and the Polar Bear. This is some of the best chill out music I have come across in ages.

OK so it's Friday today and I like to end the week on a light note. What could be better than taking a look at this exercise video on Youtube called Prancercize.

You know the saying when you got to go you got to go. Well if you are in Allentown you better not urinate in public because you never know who may be watching. Fed up with a parade of people urinating outside their Allentown store in broad daylight, 2 owners who didn't want to be identified took matters into their own hands rigging up a camera and shower head in the back ally. What they get is a lot of water and a little revenge.You got to admit it's pretty funny.

I was messing around on the internet this morning and came across a website featuring unsolved mysteries. Two of them I have looked at before, namely the Dyatlov Pass incident and the Taman Shud case. If you thought those two mysteries were weird then you need to take a look at this. The Voynich manuscript has been described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript". It has been dated as being written in the early 15th century (1404–1438), and is named after the book dealer  Wilfrid Voynich who purchased it in 1912.Some pages are missing, but there are now about 240 existing pages, most with illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the 1500s, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. You are probably thinking so what? Well this is where it gets really weird. Most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscript's script and language remain unknown.

This video on Youtube hits so close to home it hurts. This is a must watch for any man who has tried to reason with a woman. I loved the bit where she says: ""Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." This really highlights the differences in how men and women deal with things. The music by Stevie Wonder? - "We Can Work It Out" at the end is a nice touch.

I have a confession to make and that is that I am a fan of the Riddick movies. It's been yonks since the last installment so this is long overdue. The trailer did not disappoint. For those of you who are not familiar with the movies Riddick is the antihero of three films in the Riddick series, which are Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, the animated movie The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. My advice to you is if you havn't watched these movies do yourself a favour and watch them this weekend.

This video of a man climbing out of window in São Paulo in his underwear as a couple argue on an adjacent balcony has attracted well over a million views on YouTube since it was posted just a few days ago. Wearing only his boxer shorts, an alleged lover appears to flee an angry confrontation between a woman and her partner by knotting sheets together and climbing out of a second-floor window. So much for discretion being the better part of valour.

I had heard about how popular these Spartan races had become in the States but it wasn't until one of my old college drinking buddies entered one that I decided to check it out. As the name suggests these are hard core running obstacle courses that really push you too your limits. From crawling under barbwire fences to wading through mud filled trenches you name it you are going to find it on this course. The footage for the one above that my buddy entered was mainly filmed with the use of a quadrocopter which is a mini drone which is really cool. I can't help but think that this would be huge here in SA. Click HERE to check out more.

Who remembers watching this in the eighties? It took me forever to remember the name of this great animated series. All I could think of was that it involved a grumpy man with a rather large nose. La Linea (which in English means "The Line") is an Italian animated series. The series consists of 90 episodes, each about 2–3 minutes long. Over the years the series aired in more than 40 countries around the world. It might be simple but you have to admit it's still great.

Anyone who says that global warming isn't changing weather patterns needs to be made to watch this. A strong tornado hit the Italian region of Emilia Romagna according to Italian media. This amateur video shows dramatic scenes from towns and villages close to the regional capital of Bologna. Pardon my ignorance, but this is the first time I've heard of a Tornado in Italy. Unbelievable.

One of the best things about growing up in the eighties was the television shows. Who doesn't remember Airwolf, Magnum PI, Macgyver and Dallas just to name a few. Things have moved on since then and those shows are some what obsolete these days. Having said that there really is no substitute for a great storyline with original appealing characters and one of the better ones around was The Lone Ranger. If you weren't around in the eighties then what you need to know is that the Lone Ranger was a fictional character, a  masked ex- Texas Ranger who, with his Indian companion Tonto, fought injustice in the American Old West. The character has now become an enduring icon of American culture.

Kind of a freaky story in the Telegraph this morning. Apparently New Zealand officials have released a list of baby names put forward by parents that were rejected because they were too bizarre and/or offensive, including "Lucifer" and "Mafia No Fear". Seriously people why would anyone do this to a child? In 2008, New Zealands family court ordered that a nine-year-old girl whose parents had called her "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii" should have her name changed because it was embarrassing and "makes a fool of the child". At the time, the judge criticised parents who gave their children bizarre names, citing examples such as "Number 16 Bus Shelter", "MidnightChardonnay" and twins called "Benson" and "Hedges".

The first Burger King franchise in South Africa will officially open on the 9th of May in Cape Town at 33 Heerengracht Street.

Remember back in the days when planking went viral and the social networks exploded with pictures of people lying flat on their faces in all sorts of weird places? Well planking isn’t so hot anymore nowadays and it turns out that there’s a new photo meme that’s taking its place. It’s called Vadering and you better get used to it because it looks like it's going to be around for a while. I must be honest and say that this latest fad is pretty weird and seems to appeal mostly to the geek segment out there.

Baby & Me is the awesome new campaign by Evian. In the video you see adults who see themselves as babies in the reflection on a sidewalk window. As one would naturally do the adults then dance around to see what their mini me reflection will do. It's a great commercial and quite frankly if this doesn't make you smile then nothing will.

This is probably not the best way to start your new job. AJ Clemente, who was starting as a news anchor at local UnitedStates TV station KFYR, accidentally marked his opening broadcast by muttering the words "fucking shit" live on air. While first suspended by the North Dakota station, Mr Clemente later revealed on Twitter that he had been sacked by the local broadcasters. Shame you can actually see the realisation of what he had done kick in as he tries to fumble his way along.

This shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. If there is one industry that is out of touch with its customers it's the wine industry. A study in the UK has found widespread bewilderment among wine drinkers at the "pompous"terms used by producers, retailers and critics to describe how a bottle tastes. Apparently more than half of wine drinkers who took part in the survey (55 per cent to be exact) said the descriptions given to wines failed to help them get an understanding of the flavour. They were given a list of 43 words and phrases used to describe different wines and were asked to identify the five they found most and least helpful in conveying the drink's taste.

While it's a well known fact that SA Lifestyle is absolutely opposed to the promotion of any sort of racist or sexist stereotype, we are still duty-bound to report that the worst driver in the world is a woman. A South Korean woman called Cha Sa-Soon took the written driver’s license exam 950 times before passing with a 60 out of 100 and then managed to fail the practical driving test ten times before getting her license. She originally started taking the test five days a week for three years before gradually easing back to twice a week, and given that the bus to the driving school only visited her tiny village once every two hours, her driving instructors didn’t have the heart to tell her to give up. When she finally passed her written and practical driving tests, she was presented with flowers, hugs, an official entry into the Guiness Book of World Records and a brand-new Kia Soul. We can only hope that she is not using it too often.

OK there are no two ways about it there is some weird stuff that goes down in Russia. You might remember that a month or two ago a meteorite crashed in the Urals well that's nothing compared to this story I just came across. About 54 years ago the northern part of the Urals played host to one of the most fascinating unsolved mysteries in the modern age. The reason it’s remained unsolved is that there are no witnesses but the dead, and they’re not talking. In February 1959, nine hikers disappeared in the Dyatlov Pass through the Ural Mountains. The group never reached their destination, and three weeks after their disappearance, their bodies were found. When you first look at what's become known as the Dyatlov Pass incident it all seems fairly explicable: Of a party of ten skiiers, nine perished in the middle of a high-difficulty hike in conditions that reached -30 degrees Celsius. But the details, which are mostly based on diaries of those involved as well as records from Soviet investigators, are like something out of a horror movie and will keep you up at night.

I had my doubts about this movie but after having watched this mind blowingly awesome trailer I don't thing I am going to able to handle the agony of the wait until it hits the big screens here in SA. I think Leo is a sure for an Oscar and the soundtrack rocks. Wow I think this movie is going to be huge. Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" follows would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits.

I came across a very interesting article on mandatory today about unsolved mysteries. The so called Taman Shud Case got my attention and boy does it make for some interesting reading. I always thought I was good at solving riddles and problems but this has me stumped. Dead bodies are discovered every day, but few capture the imagination quite as much as the unidentified corpse known as the Somerton Man. On 1st December 1948, a Caucasian man in his mid-40s was found dead on Somerton Beach in Australia. Coroners could discern no cause of death.The man discovered that day was in peak physical condition and as dressed very well, but all of the labels on his clothing had been removed. In his pocket was a train ticket for a ride he obviously missed on account of his being dead and all.

This looks like my kind of movie. This Is The End looks like a hilarious movie that follows six friends trapped in a house after a series of strange and catastrophic events devastate the world. As the world unravels outside, dwindling supplies and cabin fever threaten to tear apart the friendships inside. There is a great scene with Hermoine from Harry Potter that had me in fits of laughter.

As men we are united in our common aim to get the topless pillow fights of lady slumber parties out of the house and into the workplace. Thankfully, International Pillow Fight Day taking place this Saturday the 6th of April is that day, and with enough thought and preemptive planning, we could achieve our dream, gentlemen, one sexy pillow case at a time. As an added bonus, you will have the opportunity to knock the shit out of someone you really don't like with a pillow. I was disappointed to discover that no one in South Africa has anything planned to celebrate International Pillow Fight Day. Rest assured that this will not be the case for very much longer.

A contestant in a pageant sounding like an idiot during the question and answer session? Who would have expected that to happen? Well, at this point, pretty much everyone being that Miss South Carolina’s answer at the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant is one of the better known YouTube videos of all time. Miss Iowa’s answer wasn’t anywhere near as incoherent as Miss South Carolina’s botched response, but in some ways, Miss Iowa’s answer is worse being that inadvertently lent her support to all types of marijuana — both “recreational use and healthcare.”

A pair of shark divers off the coast of South Africa were in for an unwanted surprise when a great white shark got incredibly close to their diving cage. Though the cage was attached to the boat at the time,the fearless predator swam right up, poked its head through the bars and flexed its jaw muscles. Youtube user Bryan Plummer captured the astounding footage during the March 21 dive in Gansbaai. And that is why you will not find me inside a shark cage.

It's Tuesday morning and I needed a laugh so I went and tracked down my two favourite Ben Stiller movie scenes. Do yourself a favour and watch these two scenes before you start work this morning.The first is a fabulous scene from the comedy Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder is a action comedy film written, produced, and directed by none other than Ben Stiller himself, and starring himself. The movie has a great cast including Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black. The main plot revolves around a group of self centered idiot actors who are making a fictional Vietnam War film. When their frustrated director decides to drop them in the middle of a jungle, they are forced to rely on their acting skills in order to survive the real action and danger. This is a fabulous scene.

This has got to be one of the best commercials I have seen in a while. You got to love how this condescending man gets whats coming to him. This is a good one for all the iPad addicts out there.

This charts the sins of the so-called "best James Bond movie ever." I enjoyed watching Skyfall. I rated it as being one of the better Bond movies but I wouldn't rate it as being the best ever. Whatever your personal opinion is you would have to agree that it was a departure from the norm.

What the hell is going on in Russia at the moment. It seems that pretty much every day something really weird happens there. Only a short while back they had meteorites crashing there and then this insane video pops up on Youtube. Seriously people this must be the most insane case of roadrage captured to date. Thank God for Russia's dashcams (seriously, do their cars come from the factory with these things installed?)

A friendly reminder that today is Steak and Blowjob Day. . March 14th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory. Men work extremely hard to satisfy their lovers on Valentine's Day (and pretty much every other day of the year), so March 14th is a joyous opportunity for your significant other to repay the favour. This is a holiday that every guy should have already highlighted,circled, and placed a magnifying glass over. Unfortunately, though,as pretty much every guy out there will find out today, she won't. If however you are determined to give it a bash try this approach.

This trailer looks bloody amazing. This is like Castaway on steroids with some serious attitude plus no one is talking to a basketball. Apparently most of this amazing footage was shot around Malta. Based on the 1947 Kon Tiki expedition by Thor Heyerdahl who wanted to prove that the South American natives could have sailed the Pacific to populate the Polynesian Islands before Colombus.

Jumping into puddles is a rite of passage for every child. But when you're older, you have to up the ante. Regular old puddles aren't going to cut the grade, as proven by this video of a guy who jumped into something that is closer to a water-filled sinkhole than a puddle. When I first watched this I was tempted to say that this was staged but the guy filming it seems genuinely surprised. Yip it's just anouther day with people doing stupid things.

I don't know how many times a mosquito has fucked shit up for me or for you, but this one takes the cake. It's a bold move for a mosquito repellant company like Baygon to go and make a commercial involving sex and how not buying their product will fuck up your sex life. I now keep a can of Baygon close by me where ever I go. Apparently this commercial has now been banned. Not quite sure why as it seems pretty harmless to me.

This is for anyone out there who is scarred for life after being made to watch the Twilight series. I can quite honestly say that Bram Stoker did not have these teen brats in mind when he wrote his classic gothic novel Dracula. The movie adaptation of Dracula was brilliant by the way and unlike this nonsense is well worth watching. Plus it has a great soundtrack with a killer song by Annie Lennox. Having grown up in the 80's I would have to say that The Lost Boys is also not to shabby and also has a killer soundtrack.

Russia seems to be showing up a lot on Youtube these days for all the wrong reasons. Only a week ago they had meteorites crashing there.

This is honestly one of the worst construction mistakes I have ever seen.

Kick ass new Iron Man 3 trailer is out.

The new trailer also features fresh glimpses of the film's baddie The Mandarin, played by Oscar winner Ben Kingsley.

This is heart attack material for anyone who has arachnophobia. The good news is this happened in Brazil so as long as this doesn't catch on here in SA we should be safe for a while.

Will somebody please explain to me why this commercial was banned? I think it is hilarious and harmless. I suppose these days it doesn't matter what you do or say chances are you are going to annoy someone out there. It's that age old argument about whether minority rights should or shouldn't outway freedom of expression and so on. Anyway check out this hilarious commercial, Eve's facial expressions are absolutely brilliant.

The Sheregesh Ski resort in Siberia is trying to promote itself using scantily-clad snowboarders in bikinis. Sheregesh, where temperatures can reach -40C, is a former mining town named after the Sheregeshevy brothers, who struck iron ore there in 1912. It is trying to reinvent itself as a winter sports resort. Although it is an eight hour journey from Moscow, it can boast "the bestsnow in Russia", according to the World Snowboard Guide.

My top five movies all have one thing in common and that is absolutely awesome soundtracks and awesome endings. Music can make or break any movie and these movies would be nothing without these cool soundtracks. There are so many movies with cool soundtracks so I have just named a few of my favourites.

 

1. Fight Club

"You've met me at a very strange time in my life" is probably the understatement of the century in this classic end scene from the Fight Club. This film has a great cast, a great plot and a great soundtrack. What more is there to say?

Thank God for Russia's dashcams (seriously, do their cars come from the factory with these things installed?) This video shows a giant meteorite exploding over the sky in Russia somewhere near the Ural mountains.Reports have indicated that their may be some injuries from broken glass and some damage to buildings while cell phones stopped working. People near this event said it was so loud it resembled thunder and an earthquake at the same time.

 

Conspiracy theorists have already posited that this is not a meteor but some sort of military warplane or alien landing. I am surprised the Russians didn't think it was a nuke from the USA and send one back. We're going to go ahead and assume that this is just a meteorite. But easily the second best part of this video is that the lunatic guy driving his car doesn't seem fazed at all, despite nearly being taken out by a giant space rock. He just keeps cruising around, listening to crappy techno music. Seriously who still listens to techno music?

I love food. I love cooking it and I love eating it. This bacon festival in Iowa got my attention. The annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival event featured more than 10,000 pounds of bacon served in unusual ways, such as chocolate-dipped bacon and bacon-flavored cupcakes and gelato. Other events scheduled included lectures about bacon and an eating competition. The festival was preceded earlier in the week with a bacon queen pageant (I have my doubts about this) and a pig pardon (seriously they actually pardon a pig) by Gov Terry Branstad. Festival co-founder Brooks Reynolds, who officially started the event just a few years ago, said it is become the largest bacon showcase in the world.

Genesis Rodriguez is a smoking hot Cuban/Venezuelan beauty. In a recent interview with Max Magazine, 24-year-old Genesis Rodriguez proved herself to be the ultimate beach companion when she said, “I have no problem with my body (nor do we). If I go to the beach I like to wear the bare minimum.Topless, I love topless. But here in California it is illegal to show your breasts, so I only do it where I can, not in Malibu.” Unfortunately for the entire state of California, she only met her The Last Stand costar Arnold Schwarzenegger after his term as the state’s Governor was up.Otherwise, you can bet that baring one’s chest in public would have been legalized in California.

Rather amusing story in The Telegraph this morning. A couple whose explicit emails about their love life became an internet sensation. A receptionist at an oil industry services company in Aberdeen (thats Scotland for those of you not geographically inclined), accidentally forwarded the intimate messages between her and her fiancé to their entire office. She sent a short email to her colleagues at Integrated Subsea Services (ISS)Ltd yesterday morning to tell them that the sandwich van was outside. However, she accidentally wrote the message on top of the chain of private emails she had been swapping with her fiance, and so the full exchange was seen by everyone in the office.

Very amusing story on News24 caught my attention. Apparently about 15 000 crocodiles escaped from the Rakwena crocodile farm near Pontdrif after the Limpopo River came down in flood on Sunday evening. WTF? Limpopo has got to be the worst place on the face of the planet to live at the moment. Let me get this straight they have corruption and non-delivery of service, non-delivery of textbooks, Julius Malema and his cohorts running around, illegal foreigners, raging flood, witchcraft and now 15 000 crocodiles running around. They should seriously think about relocating these crocodiles to the border to help curb illegal immigrants entering SA.

I came across a rather unusual article in The Telegraph this morning. A study has found that women look their oldest at 3.30pm every Wednesday because that is when their energy levels plummet, work stress is at a peak and the effects of any weekend late nights finally kick in. One side of thinks who ever paid for this study should be shot while the other side thinks that men need to store this piece of information and watch what you say around women on Wednesdays at 3.30pm. 3.30pm Wednesday is probably not a great time to tell her that she has picked up a bit of weight.

I was forced to watch an episode of "The Bachelor" the other day. What a painful experience. From what I can make out a bunch of very silly women are desperate to get married. They take it in turns to try and woo some guy into marrying one of them on national television. The only part worth watching is the ranting and raving by each woman who doesn't receive a rose and is thereby eliminated. And the best part of those rants are the faces the women make in the process. The brilliant tumblr, Faces of Rejected Bachelorettes brings us the best of those freeze frames. Here are some of my favorites.

This is just totally freaky and insane. A man (insane lunatic) climbed onto the stage and pointed a gun at the head of Bulgarian opposition leader Ahmed Dogan during a televised news conference onSaturday. The only reason that the guy survived the attack was because the pistol jammed. After a few seconds of confusion and screaming, the assailant was wrestled to the ground and attacked by delegates at the conference. He was then dragged off the premises by security. It was later revealed that police removed a gas pistol and two knives from the attacker, identified as being 25-year-old Oktai Enimehmedov.

Any man will admit that what he knows about women he would struggle to fill a A4 sheet of paper. The scary thing is that what most women know about themselves wouldn't fill the back of a postage stamp. This makes them pretty dangerous and us guys spend our time living in a state of heightened alertness always careful not to misunderstand or misinterpret what they say and do. No where is this more evident than on Facebook where a simple post can have hidden meanings. Women post things on Facebook in the hopes of gaining a particular reaction from their friends in the comment field or attracting the attention of men. I have listed ten of the more common posts made by women with an explanation of what she really means.

Darlene Mayes looks like she should be playing Bingo at a nursing home, instead the 73 year old grannie just got busted as one of the largest marijuana suppliers in the USA. Her operation went up in smoke(no pun intended) over the weekend when police entered her home. They found 4 pounds of pot, $276,000 in cash, a semiautomatic pistol and a revolver. WTF, Grandma knows how to pack. Her network of pot smokers spanned across 4 states including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. I reckon loads of students out in the midwest most likely just got screwed over with grandma’s arrest. Apparently her weed accounted for 40% of all the weed in the area.

This man might have pooped in his pants and frankly who could blame him. Some guy is out texting in the middle of an alleyway in California. All of a sudden, he runs into something no human should ever have to unexpectedly encounter… A Giant Bear! The dude obviously heads in the opposite direction and he is lucky the bear doesn’t chase after him. Seeing a bear in the middle of a residential area is quite rare,but someone actually within inches of the animal is like something out of a Crocodile Dundee movie. He was smart enough though to get out of harms way by doing his best Usian Bolt impersonation.

Most rites of passage for young men—Communions, Bar Mitzvahs, and the rest—are fun and joyous occasions. In Vanuatu however, becoming a man involves a pretty insane ritual to prove all-around toughness. When I was a student at Stellenbosch University on occasion when we had too much to drink we used to engage in what we called "bush diving" which involved running and diving (and invariably leveling) some small harmless bush. In Vanuatu however young men engage in what they call "land diving". Boys prove their manhood (and ensure a good yam harvest) through a practice that’s similar in concept to bungee jumping, but much more deadly. Instead of elastic chords, very breakable vines are tied around the feet of boys as young as seven before they jump from a 70-90 foot tower. How insane is that?

A 21 year-old from  County Cork in Ireland was alerted to the pothole by a friend, and after testing its depth with a stick, decided to have some fun. "When I saw it I said I wouldn't get a chance like it again. It was freshwater from a water main, so it wasn't dirty, I didn't mind doing it," Liam Keane told RTE News. The pothole, which was caused by a burst water main, has since been filled in,but the video of his post-Christmas swim has become a viral sensation with over 200,000 views.

If you are going to suffer from a phobia and you are a guy you better pray to the Gods that you don't suffer from Caligynephobia. Caligynephobia is a form of gynophobia, which is the fear of all women. However, caligynephobia is directed towards good looking females. Ouch so that explains why some guys don't date the lookers! It can be an extremely disruptive social phobia (no shit), depending on the level of damage. The symptoms include rapid breathing, shortness of breath, irregular heart beat, nausea, sweating, panic attacks, and feelings of dread. There can also be individualized specific responses to this phobia. Some common approaches to treating the disorder are systematic desensitization and cognitive behavioral therapies. Personally I think the best treatement would just be to go out and score with loads of hotties.

This is probably the funniest phone call ever made to a radio station. This just proves that there are some very stupid people out there. A woman who has become known as Donna the Deer Lady calls a local radio station in Fargo, North Dakota, complaining that deer crossings are encouraging deer to cross busy roads. "Why are we encouraging deer to cross at the interstate?" she asks. The presenter makes a brief attempt to explain that deer crossing signs are to warn motorists of areas with large deer population, rather than for the benefit of the deer, before giving up and agreeing to publicize her concerns.

I don't normally like people messing around with mother nature too much but I thought this worth punting. Australian researchers are working on a new breed of pineapple - one that is not only sweet and juicy but which has the added tropical taste of coconut.

Two years ago, scientists in Queensland, which has a warm climate and produces various tropical fruits, developed Australia's first home-grown pineapple, called the Australian Jubilee. Most Australian pineapples are Hawaiian-bred varieties. Queensland produces more than 80,000 tons of pineapples a year butthe government has been looking to create less costly and tastier varieties to compete with cheaper imports.

Unfortunately the lead police motorcyclist fails to break for a speed bump and flies head over heels off his bike. Oh well I guess this is why speed bumps were invented in the first place.

This is kind of weird. According to a study released Monday, 32% of people in the United States aged 18 to 24 say they use social networking in the bathroom. The same report from marketing research firms Nielsen and NM Incite also found that 51% of US adults between 25 and 34 use social networking in the office -- more than any other age group. While personal computers remain the primary tools for logging onto sites like Facebook and Twitter, the report -- posted at blog.nielsen.com -- noted a significant increase in the use of cellphones and tablets as well. Forty-six percent of respondents said they used a mobile phone to connect online, up from 37 percent last year, while 16 percent used a tablet like Apple's iPad, up from just three percent in 2011. Facebook remained by far the most popular social networking site among Americans -- but there was a stunning 1,047 percent year-on-year increase in the number of unique PC visitors to the online scrapbook Pinterest.

The revered sage Frank Sinatra once said, "The best revenge is massive success." He never spoke a truer word, particularly when it comes to aspiring authors who, after suffering severe smackdowns from publishers, went onto become renowned writers. Usually, children’s book authors don’t make a ton of money, which could partially explain how no less than 12 publishing houses in the UK decided to pass on struggling newcomer J.K. Rowling’s book about a pre-teen wizard attending boarding school. Nearing the end of her rope, Rowling submitted the first chapter of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” to London-based Bloomsbury Publishing. Bloomsbury’s chairman reportedly gave the chapter to his 8 year-old daughter, who immediately clamored for the rest of the story. Suitably impressed, he gave it a go. You have to love that Chairmans daughter. Billions later

Talk about getting up close and personal with mother nature. In this video a group of kayakers have a very close encounter with some killer whales. One of them actually pissed in his pants and says "I need to change my pants now". These animals can be ferocious predators and its safe to say that nine times out of ten an incident like this would not end well for the kayakers. Legal disclaimer: please do not try this ever!

The Urban Dictionary defines photobombing as "an otherwise normal photo that has been ruined or spoiled by someone who was not supposed to be in the photograph." In a nutshell what is happening in the background attracts the focus from what it was originally meant for. Like most things in life it isn't as easy as it seems. Good photobombing requires skill, practice, good timing, a fair bit of luck and above all a desire to ruins somebodies special moment.

I have absolutely no friggin idea what this interview was supposed to be about. When this nutter of a woman was interviewed by a local news crew, she decided to share that she has flashed the vacuum cleaner man, whoever that is. She then goes on to explain that she is "not allowed to drive." She ends the clip by offering to lift her shirt once again before the reporter decides wisely that the interview is pretty much over.

As far as I am concerned there are only three types of people in this world. Lions, sheep and insects. Lions the alphas, sheep the betas of society with the useless insects that have found so little purpose with their lives that they just sit on the side lines of life and talk more shit than the sheep do. Remember people great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people. People love to gossip and talk shit way too much these days. Social media has played a huge role in this sad state of affairs. Are you one of those sad people that try to ensure that your Facebook profile picture is better than your friends? Do you really believe this will make you more interesting or attractive to your friends or the opposite sex? If so would you really want to be with someone that shallow who thought that way?

After planking and batmanning, the web world now has milking - a new internet craze sparked by a Newcastle student after he posted this video on his Facebook account. The craze that is 'milking', the act of buying milk and pouring over one's head in public ( seriously I couldn't make this up if I tried), has spread to Oxford, Edinburgh and other parts of the UK after a group of students in Newcastle posted a video of themselves performing the stunt online. Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Tom Morris, 22, one of the students behind the compilation video, said: ‘We were just in our kitchen talking about doing it outside Starbucks and thought it would be really funny." "We did that, uploaded the video to Facebook and got a load of likes. So then we thought why not just make a video?’

I can quite honestly say after watching this that I have no idea what it's about but still found myself laughing. What I can say is that a guy driving a tractor jumps out while it is moving, strips down buck naked and then turns himself into a bale of hay. Looks like this is how Spongebob was born!

Man this would freak me out. Most hidden camera pranks involve something really silly. The Brazilian TV show Programa Silvio Santos has taken things to a whole new level. Step one: Trap unsuspecting guests in a broken down elevator. Step two: Cut the lights. Step three: Unleash a disheveled little girl holding a creepy baby doll through a trap door. Now it's time for the fun to begin. Cue the lights, screaming, potential heart attacks and lawsuits and, in for the final touch, a totally out of place laugh track that makes this video all the more bizarre. It's a pretty sure bet that all of these people will be taking the stairs for the rest of their lives.

The internet is filled with loads of videos and stories of people doing some pretty stupid things. Most of the culprits are young dumb drunk adolescent teenagers but this takes the cake. Once a year In Spain a festival is held called El Colacho. Babies that were born in the last 12 months are lined up on mattresses in a street. Grown men then dress up as the devil (in yellow for some reason) and jump over the babies while the whole town turns up to cheer them on. Apparently this is a religious festival which doesn't surprise me since people can pretty much justify anything by hiding behind religious beliefs. This is very wrong people!

Who said adults don't take Christmas seriously. According to an article in the Sun this Christmas tree has been slammed as the worst decorated Christmas tree in Britain - after crowds booed it at the switch-on. A crowd of over 1,000 was left stunned by the “shocking” lights when pantomime stars Gareth Gates and Toyah Wilcox flicked the switch. Onlookers broke into spontaneous boos and jeers when the anti-climactic display of lights - which barely covered the tree - flickered into life.

News24 reports that a naked man brought parts of central London to a standstill on Friday after he installed himself on a statue near Prime Minister David Cameron's office for nearly three hours. He braved the November cold and gawking crowds to straddle the monument to Prince George, a19th century military chief and one-time Duke of Cambridge, adopting various poses including balancing precariously on the prince's head.

I though this was brilliant. This exert is from a debate on the existence of God between an athiest and a creationist. You can watch the entire debate here… or you can check out this highlight,in which an 11-year-old boy challenges the creationist with a question and the creationsist implodes with an answer that makes no sense whatsoever. According to this guy none of us know anything unless God reveals it to us. What I liked about this is that the youngster isn't afraid to ask questions and challenge an older person. If only more people had the guts to ask the questions that really matter.

Talk about stating the obvious. A new study conducted in New Zealand has confirmed that humans prefer having sex and getting drunk to doing housework and commuting to work. I can't believe someone got paid to prove that theory. The most shocking conclusion from the study: Doing housework brought people more pleasure than going on Facebook. Now that I can believe.

“What do you make your girlfriend for breakfast, burnt scrambled eggs? We will make her a…motherfucking quiche.” College Humor released this "PSA" style video that warns homophobic men to start supporting marriage equality or watch their girlfriends get hitched to gay men. In addition to gym-going mornings and evenings at Broadway shows, these guys promise to snack on Pinkberry and hummus and to make a breakfast quiche. That's right, they said a "motherfucking quiche".

Hardee's is the fifth biggest fast food chain in the USA.  What I like about Hardees is that they have a kick ass advertising campaign which focuses on two things both guarenteed to appeal to men - sexy women and hamburgers. Their message is simple "Hot women eat at Hardees, hot women make out with Hardees hamburgers, if you eat at Hardees you will make out with hot women therefore you should eat at Hardees". You can't argue with that logic can you? I managed to track down a few of their commercials which make for some hot and steamy viewing. I really don't know why we are all s excited about Burger King coming to South Africa next year when we don't have Hardees.

It sounds like a risky move for workers hoping to liven up a dull day in the office. But millions of people are surreptitiously viewing porn on their computers while they are at work, an expert has claimed. Around 60 million people log on to the world's largest free porn website everyday - and two thirds of those are doing so from their desks, according to German sex therapist Dr Christoph Ahlers.

An internet advert called 'Dumb Ways to Die' has become the Gangnam Style of train safety campaigns, clocking up more than 8.5 million YouTube views and 13,000 odd comments. Dumb Ways to Die is a beautifully animated Melbourne Metro Trains transport safety ad which features colourful characters singing a catchy tune as they set fire to their hair, poke a stick at a grisly bear, get their toast out with a fork or use their private parts for piranha bait. The video is also designed to demonstrate the danger and stupidity of playing on train platforms, tracks and level crossings. The myriad of other dumb ways to die illustrate the stupidity of messing around with trains. The song is performed by Melbourne artist Tangerine Kitty, the song was produced by Cat Empire keyboards player Ollie McGill.

Justin Bieber took home the most trophies which irritated me no end, There was a special "Gangnam Style" performance by MC Hammer which I thought was pretty cool.

I stumbled upon this news article by chance. When I was a kid I loved listening to my mother reading a Christmas Carol to me. It turns out that a sequel has been written entitled "The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge". The sequel takes the form of a play and centers on Scrooge's decision to sue the ghosts of Christmas and his late business partner Jacob Marley for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander and inflicting emotional distress. I bet the Ghost of Christmas Future didn't see that one coming!

Kate Moss has disclosed that Lucian Freud, the late artist, inked a tattoo on her lower back which is worth more than £1million. Apparently this estimate is said to be very conservative so it could be worth a lot more. I am guessing that this is probably the most expensive tattoo ever. The 38-year-old model befriended Freud, considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, in 2002. He subsequently told her how he used to give homemade tattoos using permanent ink and a scalpal when he was in the Merchant Navy during World War II. Ouch that sounds painful!

Nail polish for men! The makers of Alpha Nail nail polish (like alpha male, get it?) are trying to convince men that it's cool to paint their nails like women do. They do this by referring to their product as "war paint" and "armor," instead of what it actually is,"A silly thing to do." Guys it is not cool to paint your nails. There is a lot of silly stuff going on in the month of November with guys trying to grow moustaches and so on but please don't go overboard and start painting your nails. Having said that Alpha Nail have put together quite an ntense marketing campaign.

I think this is just brilliant. Three Sheets Market Research is a company that does market research into how consumers deal with products when they are drunk. Think about it who hasn't tried to send an sms while intoxicated or order fast food at two in the morning shit faced with a bad case of the munchies.It’s a fact that 20% of all online shopping happens after midnight. It’s a fact that university students spend 75% of their time using smartphone apps drunk at parties. It’s a fact that the inebriated find it difficult to complete simple tasks, like remembering their passwords, clicking web site buttons and spelling their name. Millions of customers every year are performing these and similar activities in every market, across every demographic, using an endless number of products and services. What do they all have in common? Two very important things. They are all being ignored by market researchers. And they are all very drunk. Following the release of Windows 8, Three Sheets Market Research wasted no time in trying out Microsoft’s new operating system on a drunken subject.

OK we all know how cool the Bond movies are. The combination of beautiful women, violence and some pretty impressive gadgets makes it a no brainer for most guys. The latest installment, Skyfall, has yet to be released in South Africa but I came across a very interesting article that made a very important point. Often, Bond and technically feasibility don’t go well together—think that fleet of space shuttles in Moonraker, for example. Skyfall features a technology that we should be vigorously pursuing, that is technically plausible, and that could save thousands of lives a year.This technology is, perhaps ironically, a gun: one that uses a biometric palm scanner to lock out unauthorized users. Makes sense doesn't it. How many times have we read those tragic stories about young children who find their fathers gun and kill either themselves or their friends or the burglar who uses a stolen gun to kill someone else. This technology is available and given the huge profits that the arms industry generates should be implemented. Click HERE to read the whole article.

I really don't know how I managed to get through watching this video. Apparently there is a new Afrikaans heartthrob/singer on the music scene. My Afrikaans is not great but my understanding is that the guy singing the song is trying to win the attention of some girl who he thinks is "supercool". For good measure the singer has gone and incorporated some Gangnam Style dance moves into his routine. 2OceansVibe did a really good review of this video and the comments make for hilarious reading. He also has a Facebook page with some rather amusing comments on it.

During a practice run for an extreme sports event in Colorado called the Buffalo Bill Downhill Bloodspill (Sho...thats one hell of a name), skateboarder Ryan Vitale had a rather unusual encounter with a deer. As he was flying down a hill at approximately 65 kmph, a freaked out deer tried to cross the road and wasn't able to make it past Vitale. They take a nasty spill together, but are reportedly both OK somehow. The reaction from the camera man is priceless. Needless to say this video went viral.

This is a really weird story. A bride and groom had their big day ruined when a flasher burst into the church during their marriage vows and gave them an eyeful of his wedding tackle. Twice.The unlucky couple were standing in front of the vicar when the shutters above the altar suddenly opened to reveal the naked stranger with his arms aloft. The bride can be heard whispering: “Oh my god. Get him out. Turn around. Please get him out.” The man then closes the shutters, before re-appearing in all his glory as the shocked congregation gasps. I couldn't help but think when watching this video that the bride knows who the flasher is. I am guessing a jilted bitter ex of sorts.

Every schoolboy used to know that at the height of the empire, almost a quarter of the atlas was coloured pink, showing the extent of British rule. But that oft recited fact dramatically understates the remarkable global reach achieved by this country. A new study has found that at various times the British have invaded almost 90% of the countries around the globe. The analysis of the histories of the almost 200 countries in the world found only 22 which have never experienced an invasion by the British. Among this select group of nations are far-off destinations such as Guatemala,Tajikistan and the Marshall Islands, as well some slightly closer to home,such as Luxembourg.

The nice thing about growing up with a children’s book series is that when you finally are grown-up, you can make some of your childhood fantasies into realities, like marrying your best friend or practicing the dark arts, or most importantly, playing Quidditch Beer Pong. There are a few different versions of the rules floating around, but the “official” version, courtesy of the much-inspired Louie’s Loops, is played with Butterbeer (obviously), and ends the game with the highly explosive Expelliarmus shot (for you know, when gamesmanship and schoolyard diplomacy just ain’t gonna cut it).

Interesting article in the Daily Mail this morning about the skeleton of a World War 2 carrier pigeon that was found inside a chimney with a coded message still attached to its leg. He had survived the perilous flight back from Nazi-occupied territory hundreds of miles away. Exhausted, the British ‘spy’ pigeon swooped down on a chimney in Surrey for a rest. And there, sadly, he fell off his perch. Perhaps overcome by fumes from thefire below, he died – with a vital coded message in a tiny capsule still strapped to his leg. British military intelligence are now trying to  deciphere the message.

As I was doing my daily internet browsing this morning before heading off to work something struck me that I needed to put down on on my blog. Everywhere you go on the internet during the month of November all you see are guys trying to grow moustaches like they are the greatest thing since pants with pockets. What’s with the novelty facial hair? When did this become a thing to do, festooning your upper lip like a Dr. Seuss landscape?  I feel it is my duty as the Ruler of the Internet to inform the reading public that this is not cool. Not what so ever. Moustaches are like airline food, they are crap.

We're guessing the owner of the convertible will think twice the next time she considers stealing someone else's parking spot.

I really enjoyed reading this article in The Telegraph this morning. A rare wartime book documenting the ingenious James Bond-style gadgets invented by British 'spooks' to help prisoners of war escape has been discovered. The 1942 classified catalogue contains the designs for the covert equipment including tiny compasses concealed in gold teeth and coat buttons. Many of the inventions were the brainchild of Christopher Hutton - a real-life 'Q' from the James Bond movies - who worked for the government's little-known MI9 agency.

The unbelievably cool and stylish climax of the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair. If you haven't seen it before, it does give away the ending. The sound track by Nina Simone "Sinnerman" is still one of my favourite pieces of music. If you havn't seen this movie do yourself a favour and watch it. This movie has a seriously cool script and the plot will keep you guessing right up until the end. Plus if you happen to be an art love like me then you will most definitely love this movie.

Most people are familiar with a horse race, but what about a buffalo race? More than 100 water buffalo tear down a sand-covered track in Thailand piloted by jockeys hoping to scoop a cash prize. As the riders line up for the event, which has been running for 141 years,some struggle to stay atop their mounts. At the starting signal, attendants release the buffalo down the 430ft track in a cloud of dust. Water buffalo can weigh up to 1,000kg. Animals taking part in the event are entered into different categories dependant on their age. For the victorious rider, a prize of 5,000 baht (£100) is on offer, while runners-up win agricultural equipment.

OK so this picture was actually taken in Texas which is apparently why they don't have any problems with looting there. I was trolling through the news headlines this morning and came across this rather depressing story. Apparently scores of Twitter users have flooded the social networking site announcing their plans to go on looting sprees once Hurricane Sandy makes landfall. The New York National Guard announced it would put troops on duty in Long Island to prevent such activity. I once read an interesting interview with a reporter who covered the Nuremberg War Crimes. At the end of the trial he was asked what he thought evil was? His answer was that evil is nothing more than a complete lack of empathy for your fellow human beings. Looking at these comments on Twitter I am inclined to agree.

Hurricane Sandy sure has turned out to be one hell of a bitch of a storm. Sandy passed over the New Jersey coast at about 20:00 local time (midnight GMT), packing winds of about 129km/h. An estimated 50 million people have been affected, with hundreds of thousands ordered to evacuate homes. More than 2 million people have already lost power. Transport has halted in eastern cities, and thousands of flights have been grounded. A record 4-metre surge of seawater was measured in New York City, where large parts of lower Manhattan were plunged into darkness by power cuts and there were reports of some subway tunnels flooding. The storm had earlier killed dozens of people as it passed through the Caribbean, mainly in Haiti. Speaking at a news conference yesterday evening, Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned New Yorkers: "If you are in your home, or some where safe where you can remain – stay there. The time for relocation or evacuation is over." Lets hope he is right and the storm moves on today. Click HERE to find out more.

According to new research released yesterday watching a horror film could burn off a whole bar of chocolate. Viewers who put themselves through 90 minutes of adrenaline-pumping terror can use up as much as 113 calories, close to the amount burned during a half-hour walk and the equivalent to a chocolate bar. The movie top of the list of calorie-burners was found to be the 1980 psychological thriller The Shining, with the average viewer using up a whopping 184 calories. I guess next time your girlfrend wants to get out some sill chick flick to watch you can kill that argument with this evidence to back you up.

A Michelin starred chef has blasted a British restaurant blogger’s review with ‘vulgar language’ when she complained about a highly priced meal. Samantha Wood, 39, was shocked when she got a reply from chef de cuisine Andrea Brambilla, responding to her review of Dubai’s Meydan Beach Club, an offshoot of three Michelin star restaurant Giannino in Milan. Mr Brambilla told Miss Wood to ‘wear first a condom on your tongue in order contain the orgasm of your ignorance’ after she blogged about a meal she and friend Italian chef Maurizio Pelli had at the restaurant which cost them more than £200.

If you're American and you're feeling patriotic, definitely do not watch this clip of Americans being quizzed about current events around the world.The scary things is these plonkers pretty much run the world. I presume that the video was heavily edited and anybody interviewed showing anything resembling intelligence was probably removed but even so some of these answers are real shockers. Enjoy!

Jesikah Maximus is without a doubt the queen of curves. Her measurements are an out-of-this-world 32D-24-42. The Mexican American glamour model has taken advantage of her voluptuous body, too, appearing in many exotic publications like Show, King and Maxim  magazine. Maximus also has her own membership website that offers more of her sexiness. The tagline: "Maximum Impact...Maximum Curves...for Maximum Exposure!"

A Scottish brewery claims it has produced the worlds strongest beer, Brewmeister's Armageddon, with an ABV of 65 percent. For some perspective, most beers have an alcohol content of between 3 to 7 percent. The brewery, Brewmeister, says on its official web site that the beer's ingredients include crystal malt, wheat, flaked oats and 100 percent Scottish spring water.The beer then undergoes a process called freeze fermenting, which involves cooling the beer to freezing. The water freezes, but the alcohol does not -- when the ice is removed a very strong beer remains. Drinkers are advised to "consume this like a fine whisky" Brewmeister's production director John MacKenzie told the Donside Piper and Herald that the beer "has a viscous quality to it." Breweryfounder and co-director Lewis Shand added: “The phrase 'delivers a punch' doesn’t quite cut it -- delivers a supersonic charged explosion is probably more appropriate!”

Thanks to Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders, we already know that there's a thin line between love and hate, but who knew that the line awesome and awful would be thinner still. When I first saw Piranha 3D a couple of years ago, I thought that it was about as good a piece of unapologetically exploitative trash as you could hope to find. It was the sort of the film that the badder it got, the better it was. After watching the trailer for the follow up I can safely say I was wrong.

Research into unusual insurance claims made by mobile phone owners in the United Kingdom has revealed the most bizarre and outlandish accidents befalling the nation’ stechnology. One farmer claims to have damaged his iPhone while calving, accidentally inserting it into the rear of a cow while attempting to use it as a torch. A woman, in her early 40s from Nottingham, admitted she had absent mindedly baked her Nokia 6303i into a Victoria Sponge intended for her daughter’s birthday. It did not endure the heat of gas mark 5, she reported. Another woman is said to have lost her Samsung Galaxy after it was snatched from her hand by a rogue seagull while out walking on a beach in Wales. In another unique claim, a couple lost their handset while re-enacting a scene from Titanic, dropping it over the side of a cruise ship as they attempted to take a photo of themselves.

What do you buy for the man who has everything? According to an article in the BBC today you could give this a shot. The world's largest bottle of single malt Scotch whisky has gone on display in Edinburgh. Standing at 4ft 9ins, the giant bottle of Tomintoul14-year-old single malt contains 105.3 litres. The record-breaking tipple is on view to visitors at the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh until April next year. The specially-commissioned bottle holds 150 bottles and is worth about £5,000. It has a gigantic cork and oversized label, and required a team of 14 people to fill and close it. Click HERE to find out more.

I have so little time for people who air their religious views in the public domain. Watching this amusing albeit weird video reconfirmed this belief. With a title like “exorcist” and his own Lifetime TV show, Rev. Bob Larson was bound to create some outstanding Internet moments. Here’s one: A“gay sex demon” trapped in a man’s body is urged to, um, come out.

The thing about writing a blog is that you tend to write and identify with stories that resonate with yourself. One of the reocurring themes on my blog is what I refer to as Stage Five Clingers. This story takes the cake. Here we have a seventeen page text exchange between a guy and a girl after a one night stand. The guy in the exchange “Kevin” sends maybe three texts during the whole conversation and this chick gives new meaning to Stage Five Clinger. This girl actually called him 87 times in one day alone forcing him to recharge his cell phone battery twice in one day and tried to break into his house.

Whatever will they think of next? I came across this advert on Youtube that had me in hysterics. Is flatulence ruining your love life? My friends, look no further than the Better Marriage Blanket, a fart-absorbing fabric that means you'll never again have to blame it on the dog. This is the real thing! Remember, it's got activated carbon fabric: "the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons. You know, in case you're tooting mustard gas."

I have never been great with computers and IT stuff. I am ambarrassed to say that when last I puchased a laptop I had to get help loading the Windows software. Actually now that I think about it I had to get help "loading someone else's Windows software" which is probably illegal. I came across an application called "Comment Snob" which I think is worthy of mentioning. Comment Snob is an extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that filters out undesirable comments from comment threads on the Web. You can install it in Chrome or install it in Firefox. It comes with support for YouTube by default, but you can add support for many other sites by installing Comment Snob rules. For each rule that you install, you can choose from the a list of parameters allowing you to customise it to suit your needs. How cool is that? Click HERE to find out more.

First dates are always delicate. You want to be cool, but you don't want to come off too cold. You don't want to seem to eager, either. So what you end up with is a dance between two semi-strangers.

If you're going to get a tattoo of your boyfriend's face on your arm,make sure you know he's just as committed to you as you are to him before you head down to the parlor. Also, you might want to tell him in private before sharing it with the world. Otherwise, something like this might happen...

Rosanna Arkle is a pretty hot model and reality TV star. Her TV show  "The GC" recently aired on TV3 in New Zealand. She followed that up with a charity boxing event that took place in July against rival reality TV star, Jaime Ridge. Arkle lost the match against her larger opponent, but went the distance and is obviously still a winner in our eyes. I managed to track down some clips from the charity boxing match and although she did OK I think she should stick to modelling.

This is as worthy a cause as any I have ever come across. Many people think that models like Bar Refaeli have it all. Good looks,fame, money. But as this touching video from Funny or Die shows us,supermodels like Bar have different dreams and often desire to do more to make a mark on society. In this case, she wants to make a sex tape...with some dude...that features sex in many positions...for a few hours. In order to achieve this, she has set up a Kickstarter page to raise $10,000 for a quality sex tape. When we last checked, she had reached her goal nearly 16,000 times over. It is truly amazing to see support like this pour in for such a worthy cause. We'll be lookingforward to seeing Bar Refaeli's dream come true.

Boarding school kids in Java have devised a game that is a lot like soccer. Except, instead of a boring, old, regular soccer ball, they use a coconut. And not just any boring, old coconut. A coconut that's been set on fire. The kids started this game to "test the guts" of other students. Which illustrates a very big difference between us. While we convict students and universities for hazing rituals because some first year can't hold his beer, the small island of Java makes TV shows out of children laughing while playing agame that involves them kicking a flaming coconut ball. Go figure!

Awesome news for both Cape Town and South Africa. Condé Naste Traveller readers voted Cape Town the second-best city in the world, and Africa’s number one, in the 25th annual Readers’ Choice survey. A total of 46 476 readers took part in the 2012 annual survey, in which 1 306 winners were nominated. The popular benchmark canvas positioned Cape Town firmly in the number two position with a score of 84.8, just two points behind the winner, Charleston in the United States, with 86.7. In descending order, Florence, Bangkok, Vancouver, Sydney, Beirut, St Miguel de Allende,Buenos Aires and Gustavia took the remaining top 10 positions. Next year hopefully we will be number one!

I guess we all have trials and obstacles in life we have to face. I have found myself thinking and questioning things over the last 24 hours. Sometimes it helps to put things in perspective and to try and look at the bigger picture. I came across this video on Youtube and it's well worth a look. It runs for a while but even if you only got a minute to spare try and watch some of it. The scenes are absolutely amazing. I really found that watching this put things in perspective for me.

Last week it was leaked that Brazilian super Alessandra Ambrosio would be the heavenly body to model Victoria's Secret's jewel-encrusted lingerie at this year's upcoming catwalk extravaganza, and now we can see what the multi-million dollar set looks like. Each year, a chosen Angel dons a one-off, custom-made 'Fantasy Bra' to close the much-publicised show. The $2.5m (£1.55m) bra, unveiled in New York, has 5200 precious gems on it,including a 20 carat diamond and huge ruby. Named the 'Floral Fantasy' set, the bra and matching belt have been created by Long Island's London Jewelers. You can check out the full article at The Telegraph.

This is one of those news stories that you have to just laugh at. Police officers in the USA have placed a hamster in protective custody after it's owner, and driver, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The hamster, whose name is unknown, was loose inside the vehicle and was the only other occupant. The driver got out of her vehicle and left the hamster on the dashboard. The driver told police that she didn't have anyone who could get the hamster, so they "should just kill it."  Police told her that the pet would not be harmed, and they would take it to a safe location.

This is a really clever response by a company that found itself being torn apart on Facebook. Bodyform, a UK company that sells products that help women feel more comfortable when having their periods, have used a spoof YouTube video to respond to a message left on their Facebook wall by a disgruntled boyfriend that itself went viral, with incredible results. An irritated boyfriend, Richard Neill posted a ‘complaint’ on the Bodyform Facebook page. The comment went viral and had over 91,000 likes in just a number of days. Instead of being replied to or even ignored, the company hit back with a brilliant spoof apology via a YouTube video.

This is just crazy. The Beeld reported yesterday that the South African government managed to spend R4.67bn on catering, entertainment and travel allowances in 2011.

I understand that it is a governments function to spend money but I think your average South African gets a little bit annoyed when these muppets are spending it overseas.

All I can say after watching this video is that this could have ended so badly.

Thousands of spectators lined up to witness Hong Kong take the crown in the city's first Red Bull Soapbox Race.

The teams were judged on creativity, showmanship and speed. Food seemed to be a recurring theme, such as the 'Hot Pot' team, dressed as shrimp, bacon, and squid, although they admitted they spent more time on the decoration than the mechanical aspects. Representing the meat industry, one local butcher said that his boss hadinvested time and money to create their ride - a butcher's shop on wheels,complete with raw meat dangling from hooks.

Austrian FelixBaumgartner has become the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, reaching a maximum velocity of 833.9mph (1,342km/h). In jumping out of a balloon 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) aboveNew Mexico, the 43-year-old also smashed the record for the highest everfreefall. He said he almost aborted the dive because his helmet visor fogged up. It took just under 10 minutes for him to descend. Only the last few thousand feet were negotiated by parachute. Once down, he fell to his knees and raised his fists in triumph. Helicopter recovery teams were on hand moments later. [BBC]

I came across this insane story on the BBC. A woman living in a village in France outside Bordeaux received a phone bill for nearly 12 quadrillion euros (15.5 quadrillion dollars). She figured, of hoped more likely, that it must have been a mistake and called the phone company to complain. But the phone company wasn't nearly as quick to admit an error as one might expect for a sum of money equal to 6,000 times the annual economic output of the entire country. According to Solenne San Jose, a Bouygues Telecom rep started out by telling her the total could not be revised and threatened to draw the money directly from her bank account. After "a series of frantic phone calls," the company agreed to let San Jose set up an installment plan. Not surprisingly, she turned down the generous solution, opting instead to pay the 117 euros she owed and not a million more.

This is one reason why not to get married..Your wedding day is supposed to be a special day, but never because of a mass brawl where one guy died, loads of people get arrested and the bride gets punched. Yet that is what people are gonna remember about a wedding at a hotel in Philadelphia over the weekend where a mass brawl was captured on film after members of two seperate wedding parties started fighting. Both feuds started in the hotel bar, police said.One of the people died of a heart attack and four others were arrested. The mobile footage is rather fuzzy, but at one point the narrator can be heard saying "did they just deck the bride?" after she apparently drops to the ground. Eish

Just the other day I was talking about this. Felix Baumgartner’s record breaking jump from the stratosphere was scheduled for today, but he was forced to cancel citing gusty winds. This animation illustrates how a helium balloon will lift him to 120,000 feet(37km) for the jump. The 700ft feet high balloon takes 45 to 60 minutes to inflate and can only be launched if winds on the ground are less than 2mph. It will lift the stuntman to the outer limits of the stratosphere. On his way down Baumgartner will become the first human to break the sound barrier without the aid of an aircraft, reaching speeds of over 600mph.

Wow how intense is this? On Tuesday, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner will attempt his wildest stunt yet: becoming the first human to break the speed of sound in freefall in what would also be the highest skydive yet, from 23miles (37 kilometers) in the air. If Baumgartner succeeds,he'll break a record set in 1960 and top his previous high jumps of71,581 feet (21,818 meters) and 96,640 feet (29,460 m). But Baumgartner isn't the first daredevil to vie for skydiving supremacy. Here are eight of the most daring, dangerous and sometimes fatal jumps in history.(Red Bull Stratos announced Friday that Baumgartner's jump had been moved from Monday to Tuesday because of a cold front with gusty winds.The jump can only be made if winds on the ground are under 2 mph for the initial launch a balloon carrying Baumgartner.)

He was last seen wearing sunglasses, bright polka dot yellow shorts and carrying a hot tub. The thing is he's a 30-foot tall, 200 pound, blue inflatable gorilla. Marty was stolen from the roof of Spas of Oregon where he stood large and in charge for four years and could be seen from Interstate 205. The owners of the store have filed a police report and hope investigators will get their gorilla back. Half a dozen ropes tied the beast down and two 200-pound compressors that kept him inflated were also stolen. So it was no easy task for the thieves to gorilla-nap Marty, especially because it's a 40-foot climb to the roof. "This was definitely planned in advance," said owner John Harrison who is offering a $500 reward to get Marty back. Harrison said it was a bit embarrassing to call police. "We basically said we had an inflatable gorilla that had been stolen,"he said. "We don't know what somebody's going to do with a 30-foot tall gorilla named Marty." Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Marty or has seen him is asked to call police. I can guarantee you that the culprits are (or rather were) drunk students!

I thought this was pretty cool. The latest breast cancer research fundraising venture to show up in our inboxes is almost as bizarre. Pornhub.com, a free online adult entertainment website, has announced that it will be donating a portion of its October revenue to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This is not the first time Pornhub.com has taken up the "pink" cause. In April, the adult website sponsored a "Save Our Boobs Bus," which drove around New York City offering free breast cancer screenings and education about self-examinations.

Google Street View is a magical, marvelous thing. After launching in a handful of U.S. cities in 2007, the search engine giant’s ever-expanding mapping technology now allows users to explore Antarctica, tour the Kennedy Space Center, wander through the wreckage spawned by the catastrophic Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and saunter through museum galleries in far-flung countries such as Qatar,India and Iraq. While certainly not the main event, humans, for better or worse, are also on full display (well, except for the blurred faces) on GoogleStreet View, which now covers, in some capacity, 48 countries and dependencies with more to come. You yourself may have even made a cameo appearance without even realizing it as a Google Street View car and its massive roof-mounted, nine-eyed camera slowly cruised by. Hopefully, you were fully clothed and not vomiting at the time.

How embarrassing is this? A 52-year-old became wedged as he put his head into a garbage can to try and retrieve an object, thought to be a cigarette, from inside. Police, fire crews and an ambulance rushed to the scene in Aberdeen, Scotland,where crowds had gathered to watch the bizarre rescue unfold. Fire crews spent 15 minutes cutting the top off the 4ft high bin with a high-powered saw normally used for cutting people out of vehicles. He was then taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for cuts to his face before being discharged. Ian Anderson, a bar worker at nearby Archibald Simpson's pub, said the rescuehad amused locals and visitors to the city.No kidding!

This does look like fun. The Flyboard is attached to a jet ski by a Kevlar hose that pumps water to keep it as high as ten metres in the air, enabling riders to dive,dolphin-like, under water from a great height. They then use their feet to control the direction in which the board travels and their hands to keep it stable.The Flyboard was invented by jet skier Franky Zapata in 2011. Those who want to try out this new extreme sport should be aware that it is not cheap, the Flyboard costs over £4,000. Not to worry am sure someone with some business say will buy a few and start renting them out.

I am a huge fan of U2."One" is the third track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby, and it was released as the record's third single in March 1992. This song has since been acclaimed as one of the greatest songs of all time, and it is consistently featured in listener and critic polls and is definitely one of my favourite songs of all time.

For those of you not in the know so to speak"Gangnam Style" is a song by South Korean rapper PSY. Released on July 15, 2012 "Gangnam Style" debuted at number one on the Gaon Chart, the national record chart of South Korea. The music video has been viewed over 345million times on YouTube as of October 2, 2012, making it the most watched video of 2012 on the site. This is the "unplugged" version of the song which I have my doubts about. The original is well worth a look though. Click HERE to check out the original. The dance moves are humorous to say the least.

A Iranian cameraman who came to New York as part of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to the United Nations last week is reportedly seeking asylum in the United States.According to the Associated Press,Hassan Gol Khanban came to the US as part of a 140-person Iranian entourage attending last week's General Assembly meeting, but he managed to stay behind and find a lawyer to represent him. The lawyer made the announcement about the asylum request on Sunday night, but didn't provide any other details about his client's decision or how he slipped out of the group. I guess loosing one person out of 140 ain't that bad. Would have been really embarrassing if 140 arrived and only one returned.

So when I heard about the Ostrich Pillow - a new, bizarre invention that allows users to comfortably sleep anywhere- I just had to find out more. The creation, which resembles a padded balaclava, is designed to help you to catch a few zzz's whether it be at work, on the plane, or waiting for a train. With space for your mouth and nose, the Ostrich Pillow has two holes at the top - enabling you to rest your face on your desk and keep your hands warm at the same time. Pretty cool huh?

This episode from South Park appears to have caused quite a bit of trouble. The episode appears to have incited violence against red heads and started what has been called National Kick a Ginger Day in Canada. Gingers around Canada are pissed off and from coast to coast schools took steps to stem the "violence". Students are now being expelled, suspended and word has it criminal charges may be laid in some cases.

This is so cool. Reefs around the world have been captured in high-resolution, 360 degree panoramic photographs and made available on Google's map service.Members of the public using StreetView can access new locations. Google Maps strives to provide people around the globe with the most comprehensive, accurate and usable map of the world - including the underwater world. This ocean collection includes six of the world's most incredible underwater spots, including coral reefs (and their inhabitants) in Australia, the Philippines and Hawaii. The impact something like this can have on education is mind blowing.

What if penguins are planning on taking over the world. Think about it for a moment. While some people are awaiting the overthrow of the human race by zombies, robots or aliens, they'd never expect this. We could continue gawking at them with wide, admiring eyes at the zoo, without knowing that we are admiring our downfall. Their cuteness is the penguins' way to mask their master plan of world domination. They're cute and they know it. They've also been boxed into zoos long enough to know that cuteness is human's weakness. Then... while we're distracted by their adorableness, their little penguin brains continue to ruminate...and plot... and scheme.

I came across a rather interesting article in the Daily Mail this morning. Scientists researched the psychology of consumer choice regarding eggs and how people like them to be cooked. It turns out that your personal preference of how you like eggs to be cooked reveals personality traits and secrets about your social class and your sex drive. So next time you go out on a date go for breakfast and see how your date likes her eggs done. Personally I like my eggs scrambled or in an omelette.

An Iranian news agency has apparently been fooled into publishing a made-up poll from a satirical US website that claimed many Americans prefer Iran's leader to Barack Obama. Fars News Agency reproduced word-for-word the article by a spoof news organisation based in Chicago. The article cited a fake poll which found 77% of white, rural workers would rather go to a baseball game or have a beer with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, known for his tirades against the West, than with Mr Obama.

You may like to have beer or wine with your pizza, but have you ever had alcohol on it? A Boston pizza parlor is serving up a new type of pizza with the alcohol fused in the toppings. The pizza party at Salvatore's is for 21 and up. It's now serving up adults-only pizza, featuring toppings soaked in alcohol. ID is definitely required.

"How do we jazz the pizzas up and how do we make them fun. Somebody said let's put booze on them. And I'm like, that would be kind of cool," said Chick Barbato.

And so the Vignola cherry pizza was born, which comes tops with fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, prosciutto, honey, and the main event:raspberry vodka-soaked cherries.

"We do macerate cherries for quite some time with the raspberry vodka. That becomes a pretty prominent flavor so it doesn't burn off in the oven," said Barbato.

The pizza place says the adults-only pizza has been so popular, two more versions will be launched next month, one with Kahlua-marinated pork and another with rum-infused peaches.

The Urban Dictionary defines a dumbass as being - noun/adj.1.) a stupid person 2.) a stupid decision 3.) george bush. I can say with some confidence that this guy meets the criteria and then takes it to a whole new level.

We have all heard about Charlie Sheen's drinking and partying antics. This guy parties like there is no tomorrow. During some of his benders there have been some classic quotes. Some examples

 

“If you borrowed my brain for five seconds, you’d be like, ‘Dude! Can’t handle it, unplug this bastard!’ "It fires in a way that’s maybe not from, uh… this terrestrial realm.”

 

"C’mon bro, I won best picture at 20. I wasn’t even trying. I wasn’t even warm."

 

"I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.

 

What he failed to say is that he might just annihilate your brand.

We at SA Lifestyle have conducted an exhaustive survey (we kinda spoke to one or two people who may or may not have been sober at the time) into the differences between men and women in Cape Town. The survey came at the request of numerous Cape Town men who through no fault of their own have found the fillies in the mother city to be confusing, irrational and just downright scary. The results confirmed our worst fears.

Jokes about breasts, and men looking at breasts, are so common place that they have become a cliché. How many times have you seen a man talking to a curvaceous woman only to have her point to his eyes and say "Hey, buddy, up here!"? It's funny  because it's true. The male eye does have a way of drifting south. But why? Why are heterosexual men so fascinated by women's breasts? Being an educated man (of sorts) I would like to propose an answer.

Question for the guys out there - is this possibly the greatest fight scene in a movie ever? I reckon if not it has too be up there near the top of the list. Taken from the movie 300 the Battle of Thermopylae was a battle of the Persian Wars in 480 BC when Leonidas, king of Sparta and 300 Spartans defended the pass of Thermopylae to the death against a much greater force of Persians. The 300 Spartans were a select group of Spartan Warriors handpicked by Leonidas, to slow down the invasion of Xerxes. The 300 fought their last battle at Thermopylae. The 300 were a "sire only" unit, meaning that each soldier had already sired a son. A "sire only" unit in Sparta meant a suicide unit, as each soldier was expected to die in his mission. I have always loved studying ancient history and the Spartans were a unique civilisation in the sense that they dedicated themselves exclusively to the art of warfare. Any infant born into Spartan society deemed not to be strong enough was taken from their parents and killed. I watched the movie again last night (due to a chronic case of insomnia) and thought I would put up some of the other scenes from the movie...a little bit blood thirsty so be warned but still pretty awesome.

Apparently no one was "seriously" hurt during the making of this EPIC FAIL video. I am not quite sure is that was a good thing or a bad thing. These dumb ass kids decided to try and recreate some of the scenes from the movie Captain America: The First Avenger with some hilarious results. The Urban Dictionary defines an Epic Fail as a mistake of such monumental proportions that it requires its own term in order to sucessfully point out the unfathomable shortcomings of an individual or group.

I have been much of a believer in the supernatural but this did get my attention. Known as “one of America’s most haunted homes,” Myrtles Plantation is supposedly the home of 12 ghosts. Not only that, but it’s also reputedly built over an Indian burial ground. To make it a trifecta of terror, people were murdered there, too. But it’s the mirror that contains the spirits of Sara Woodruff and her children that got my attention. After their deaths, per custom, the mirrors were covered, but someone forgot to cover one and hey presto! They are now trapped. Visitors have reported seeing hand prints in the mirror.

For those of you not in the know, Yahoo Answers is like the Wikipedia of advice. People (about only 40% of whom can spell) write questions and rely on the masses to get their answers.  I came across this absolute blinder this morning. This girl is quite clearly a nutter. Anyway the replies to this girls question were amusing to say the least. My favourite was from Sarah who had this to say:

 

"What ever you do don't let him out because he will break up with you. Just slide some toast under the door every two to three days".

 

For those guys out there who have not yet read it I would strongly suggest you read my thoughts on Stage Five Clingers.There are very few men who have encountered a Stage Five Clinger and lived to talk about it. When a survivor chooses to talk about it you should listen.

This is probably one of the craziest stories I have ever come across. A girl living in a small town called Haren in the Netherlands posted a party invitation on facebook to celebrate her 16th birthday party. She didn't set the event to "private" and the invitation went viral. The invitation was passed onto about 30,000 people. Thousands of people showed up ending in rioting, injury and damage to property. Riot police broke up crowds who flocked to the town. The girl who issued the invitation fled her home in Haren, a town of just under 19,000 on Friday.

A survey of 1,000 people in the UK has revealed that 66% of us suffer from Nomophobia. I had never heard of this so I did some digging around and it turns out that Nomophobia is the fear of being without your mobile phone (hence No Mobile Phone Phobia). Maybe it is wrong to call this a phobia. My understanding is that a phobia is generally an 'irrational fear', and that pang of anxiety when you are without your mobile in this brave new connected world is perhaps an understandable feeling. But either way, for 66% of us, being with your phone at all times is an obsession that occupies every waking minute. Scary stuff!

Coming within 30 metres of the lava lake down a watercourse, it was possible to stand the heat for only 6 seconds.With Fire Brigade breathing apparatus and heat proof proximity suit it was possible for them to stand on the very edge and view the incredible show for over 40 minutes.

Old Cape Town joke "How do you know if a guy went to Bishops - he tells you! It was our class of 92 reunion this year and I put this up because I know it will bring back some great memories. Rated as one of the best teams Bishops have ever had, this video shows only a few highlights of their incredible 1992 season. Captained by Hilton Houghton (who in my opinion was one of the best centers I have ever seen play) and featuring amongst others Herschelle Gibbs, Robbie Feck, David Von Hoesslin and Selborne Boome. Coached by the legendary Basil Bey. These guys played some beautiful rugby. There are some highlights from the 132 - 5 game against Brackenfell High.

Director Peter Jackson has released a new trailer for his much anticipated adaption of the Tolkien classic The Hobbit. I am really looking forward to watching this. I thought the adaptation for The Lord of the Rings was top notch. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first of 3 films that detail the events to in the lead up to the smash-hit Lord of the Rings trilogy. The film will be released in Australia on December 26, 2012. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug.Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo findshimself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargsand Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.

So you're minding your own business when all of a sudden, a nuclear bomb goes off, there's a shock wave, fires all around, general destruction and you, having somehow survived, need a drink. What can you do? There is no running water, not where you are. But there is a bottle store. It's been crushed by the shock wave, but there are still bottles of beer, Coke and diet soda intact on the floor. So you wonder: Can I grab one of those beers and gulp it down?

It’s hard to decide whether it’s more of a game inspired by food or food inspired by games, but whatever it is, the Popinator is still kind of genius. Completely removing fingers from one of the world’s most popular finger foods, the Popinator uses your voice to calculate the near-exact location of your mouth. Just say the magic word “Pop,” and it shoots a single piece of pop corn straight into your mouth—thereby streamlining the whole snacking process.

I have this thing in life which is to never trust a man with excessive facial hair. On Saturday the first British Beard and Moustache championship was held in East Sussex. One hundred contestants descended on the Dome, Brighton, East Sussex, to compete in 11 categories, from natural moustache, through ‘musketeer partial beard’, to full beard freestyle. Nearly all were in costume: there were innumerable tweeds, and at least two pith helmets. Many had responsible jobs. The man in a Victorian-style striped bathing costume, with a bushy extravaganza to match, was a psychotherapist. Richard Evans-Lacey, 38, from Bethnal Green, east London, insisted: “My clients like my beard. I like my beard. It is beautiful and bushy and the girls love it.” Keep on dreaming mate!

When it did not reappear, Marlene Swart and Leon Swanepoel plucked up the courage to open the bonnet – to find it lying there without a care in the world. [Mirror]

This one is to help the guys get their weekend started. Katrina Bowden was chosen to grace the cover of this months cheerleader special edition of FHM Magazine. FHM made the impressive decision (as if there was a choice) to dedicate a 30-page special to a celebration of all-American college girl cheerleaders, headed up by the brilliant Katrina Bowden from the upcoming new American Pie film. So shake your pom poms as America’s sexiest new actress shows us what she's all about.

If you haven't already checked out the series "Psycho Girlfriend" from recklesstortuga you should. It's funny, albeit disturbing at times. The funny thing is to watch this poor guy who is dating this psychotic nutcase of a girl in the series. This girl is definitely a Stage Five Clinger (a previous post well worth reading).This series keeps getting better and better. The episodes have all been uploaded onto Youtube so you can watch to your hearts content.

I found this amusing. A California sunglasses company has been forced to take down their billboard that read 'Happy to sit on your face' for its intentional innuendo. Thousands of drivers sped past the sign yesterday, the only day it was displayed It appears their complaints swayed the owner of the advertising space, to quickly rip it out of sight - but not out of mind.[NBCSanDiego]

How much would you pay for a glass of single malt Scotch carefully aged - in space? You could find out very soon assuming an experiment launching vials of limited edition whiskey into space goes well. Scottish distillery Ardbeg teamed up with the International Space Station last year to test the effects of near zero gravity on the maturation process. [Huffingtonpost]

It seems there are no limits to just how malicious and spiteful ex girlfriends can be. A passenger has been led off a US Airways flight in handcuffs after a somewhat bitter ex girlfriend told police he was carrying a bomb. The plane which was already in the air returned to Philadelphia where it was met by a slew of law enforcement vehicles and personnel. Bomb technicians and specially trained dogs searched the plane but found nothing. I have had some freaky stuff happen to me but this takes the cake. [DailyMail]

Wow these pictures are breathtaking to say the very least. Nasa today released stunning video showing a 500,000 mile long 'solar whip' on the surface of the sun - and the beautiful aurora it created on earth. Captured by from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the images show in unprecedented detail a very long, whip-like solar filament extending over half a million miles in a long arc above the sun’s surface. This incredible phenomenon might give us insight into why solar eruptions disrupt electrical supply here on Earth.

I feel that this feel good story is well worthy of praise. According to a report in the Mail Online an overly considerate couple is being praised for going above and beyond to placate their fellow air travelers.The parents, accompanied by their 14-week-old twin boys, distributed sweets to passengers as a pre-emptive strike in anticipation of the infants wreaking havoc in the skies. Anyone who has been on a flight and had the misfortune to have a screaming uncontrollable baby in the close vacinity will appreciate the efforts made by these parents.

The epitome of tongue-in-cheek humour or the embodiment of everything that is wrong with over-sexualised advertising? A new Lynx advert entitled 'Clean Your Balls' has provoked that very question this month – with many campaigners coming to the latter conclusion. Personally I don't see what the big deal is. The three-minute commercial (below) has caused quite a bit of controversy. It features Australian pop singer and actress Sophie Monk taking on the appearance of a TV host selling the benefits of a new product – the Lynx buffer. "Balls – no one wants to play with them when they're dirty," she starts. "That's why you have to keep your balls clean".

This was sent to me from my mate Debs and I thought it worthy of posting. New K54 Rules For Driving In South Africa. Rule Number 1: Never indicate - it gives away your next move. A real south African driver never uses indicators. Rule Number 2: Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, this space will be filled by at least 2 taxis and a BMW, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

Desperate Housewifes star Eva Longoria has decided to open an upscale steakhouse in Las Vegas for ladies only. Apparently the idea is that women can give into their secret cravings for delicious meat without the judging eyes of their male companions upon them. I think this is just ridiculous. I cannot think of any reason why a woman should feel awkward about tucking into a delicious mouth watering steak in front of a man. What could be worse than going on a first date only to be told that she doesn't eat meat and expects you to live off salad and crap like a rabbit.Interesting to note that the star,s previous restaurant endeavor closed just two years after its launch, and subsequently filed for bankruptcy.

People with purple bedrooms have the most sex, according to a new study. Fifty Shades of Grey's leading man has a Red Room of Pain in which his X-rated exploits occur. But if Christian Grey wanted to get even luckier in there, perhaps he should have painted it lilac. Clocking up 3.49 intimate encounters every week, couples with purple bedclothes, walls or furniture have moresex than those with rooms leaning towards any other colour scheme. [Dailymail]

You going to be very hard pressed to find a man out there who doesn't love this hilarious advert. Across Germany's northern-most border with Denmark you'll find an incredible superstore called Fleggaard.There, you can buy everything you need - tubs of gummi bears, cases of wine, industrial strength dishwashing soap - at prices 30% cheaper than you'll find in Denmark.

My old friend and mentor Victor showed me something the other day. Using a ruler he marked of a length of 82 cms. 82 years being the average life span for a man. At 38 years of age that puts me pretty close to the half way mark of Victors ruler. The question Victor asked me was have you accomplished what you thought you would? This got me to thinking about things I promised myself I would do but never got around to doing and so I got up early this morning and drew up my bucket list of sorts for 2014. The essence of any good bucket list consists of overcoming fears,achieving goals, realizing dreams and even simple pleasures. Whether it’s an exotic adventure half-way around the world or something simpler, like spending more time with your family or friends, what matters is that you experience all the amazing and phenomenal things Earth offers. So without further ado here are ten things from my bucket list for 2014.

This is depressing. A business in the USA will teach your child how to ride a bike if you are too busy to teach them.

Teaching your child to ride a bike is one of them. [Today.com]

I have a list of things I plan on doing before I die. The list includes things like going to the Hantam Vleisfees, dating a rational woman, having a country named after myself and going to La Tomatina. La Tomatina is the ‘World’s Biggest Food Fight’ held annually in the Valencian town of Bunol in which participants throw tomatoes and get involved in this tomato fight purely for fun. It is held on the last Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buñol. Every year approximately 40,000 tomato enthusiasts make their way from all corners of the world to fight with tomatoes during this festival.

The Australian brewery Carlton Draught has created a very funny cops and robbers style Beer Chase commercial and, to put a twist on classic 80?s car chase scenes, the group of beer thirsty / money thieving outlaws make their getaway on foot, instead of by car. This ad was put together by the group of creatives at Clemenger BBDO advertising agency in Melbourne.

This is kind of weird. Apparently scientists have discovered that cows have a built in magnetic compass of sorts that makes them tend to point in a northern direction. Their innate ability to find north is believed to be a relic from the days when their wild ancestors needed an accurate sense of direction to migrate across the plains of Africa, Asia and Europe.

It's official we live in a world gone mad filled with lots of very silly rich women. This paper bag retails for 185 pounds in the UK which relates to about R2 000 here in good old SA. The scary thing isn't just that some idiot out there has bought one its that they have actually sold out. Fashion critics will tell you that you could stick a designer label on the most mundane, everyday item and some silly fashion victim will pay big bucks for it. Well, sadly, they have been proven right. My personal opinion is that the person selling them is a genius and that the people buying them are plonkers. Note to male readers: if you find yourself dating a woman who owns or aspires to own one of these run away!

Food commercials in the USA always seem to feature hot women. I came across this one which highlights the point. A fast food chain has unveiled what is called a Memphis BBQ Burger,a combination product that utilizes both a charbroiled meat patty and pulled pork, topped with American Cheese, BBQ sauce and crispy onion strings. Beautiful ladies Sara Underwood (Playboy, G4TV)and Emily Ratajkowski (iCarly) co-star in a steamy commercial for the new burger. The entire Memphis BBQ Burger campaign revolves around a theme of#MeatEmbrace — a concept the Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s brands are trying to push into the social mediasphere, a double entendre that references the dual meats being utilized on their new product, and the obvious meat-ification of their two new sexy spokesgirls.

The question is, does this commercial make you hungry? I have to say YES!

Probably best if I give a full disclosure before I get started: I have good news and some bad news.The bad news is, “waffle” is hardly the best, strangest or the most news-worthiest booze flavor we’ve come across. For some reason, vodka has literally become the Bertie Bott’s of the drinking world, with distillers almost actively trying to boil down every little thing down every single grocery aisle–logic or sensibility be damned. The good news is, Georgi’s new Waffle-Flavored Vodka supposedly tastes pretty good.

Kate Upton is so friggin hot -- she can make scarfing down a greasy burger look RIDICULOUSLY SEXY. Fresh off of gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition, Kate Upton seems to have found a way to celebrate the honor. The bombshell is going to Carl's Jr. The bikini babe is the new spokesmodel for the hamburger chain, and in a new commercial, she writhes around (an understatement if there ever was one) while dining on their 890 calorie Southwest Patty Melt Six DollarBurger. When she can't handle the heat from the jalapenos, Upton is compelled to remove some of her clothing. Upton joins a formidable roster of ladies who have shilled for the burger joint (known in some areas as Hardee's) while wearing next to nothing. Past spokes persons include Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Audrina Patridge.

Many owners of exotic cats such as pumas or lynx simply freed their animals into the countryside. Here is a round up sightings:

Since the beginning of time mankind has been looking up at the night sky pondering the meaning of life. As beautiful and thought provoking as the view is, this video shows what things look like from the other side, and it’s flippin amazing. A time-lapse video taken from the front of the International Space Station as it orbits our planet at night. This movie begins over the Pacific Ocean and continues over North and South America before entering daylight near Antarctica. Visible cities, countries and landmarks include (in order) Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Phoenix. Multiple cities in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. Mexico City, the Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, El Salvador, Lightning in the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazon. Also visible is the earths ionosphere (thin yellow line), a satellite (55sec) and the stars of our galaxy. The electrical storms are pretty amazing.

I noticed an image on Facebook that was garnering thousands of "likes" and"shares." Actor, author and activist GeorgeTakei, who has 1.3 million "friends," posted a controversial illustration of the Disney princesses. Snow White, Cinderella and their girly gang are grouped together, each adorned with a caption. Sleeping Beauty says: "Pretty girls don't even need to be alive to get some hot princely action." Jasmine from Aladdin states: "As a woman, your political worth is reduced to your marriageability." Scary but thought provoking stuff..

I saw this picture on a friends facebook wall. At first I thought it was one of those dubious fake pictures that have been photo shopped to hell and gone but it turns out that it's real. Talk about freaky. The Pemba Flying Fox (Pteropus voeltzkowi) is a species of what is called a megabat (no kidding). It is endemic to the island of Pemba in Tanzania (sho...). Recent conservation success has risen their numbers to between 22,000 and 36,000 from just a few individuals twenty years ago. This beast of a bat has a wing span of over five feet in length. The good news is it eats fruit. It's just a matter of time before Hollywood bring out a horror movie about an out break of flesh eating rabid giant bats. I wonder if you could keep one as a pet. Would be a sure fire way to get rid of unwelcome visitors. You can find out more about these freaky evil looking things by going to NBC NEWS.

This is such an awe inspiring, amazing, inspiring, beautiful video. This just shows you what we as humans can achieve. Well done to The African Attachment on another superb production. "The Beauty of the Irrational" follows Ryan Sandes, a South African Ultra-Runner, as he returns to the Fish River Canyon to run the 5 day, 84km, Fish River Canyon Hiking Trail.

For those of you who have not yet seen this video I would strongly recommend that you do. After watching this footage you will think twice before stepping back into a lift. A Nicholas White decided to leave his work building for a cigarette break. He ended up trapped in an elevator for 41 hours on October 15, 1999. After entering an express elevator on a Friday night, a brief power dip caused the elevator to stop. White was trapped alone and was not found despite signaling an alarm and surveillance video inside the elevator cab. After 41 hours he could finally leave the elevator. It wasn't until April 2008 when footage of the man's ordeal was finally revealed to the public. The building itself, The McGraw-Hill Building, is quite famous and is featured in the opening credits of Saturday Night Live. It was used for the exteriors and lobby of Elias-Clarke's headquarters in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada. It is also the headquarters of Sirius XM Radio, and many radio shows broadcast from the building including Opie & Anthony and The Howard Stern Show.

In the Ukraine, they've figured out a crafty way to get men excited enough to visit a museum. Real-life sleeping beauties are awaiting kisses from male suitors at the National Art Museum of Ukraine, but there's just one hitch: The participants must get hitched if she opens her eyes while receiving a smooch. The five ladies who will lie "sleeping" for three days each have a signed contract obligating her to marry the person who wakes her with a kiss. Prospective princes must be over 18, unmarried and have a sincere desire to tie the knot. I have my doubts about this whole exercise. To begin with who wants to kiss some chick thats just been snogged by a hundred other guys. Secondly if these girls are prepared to marry a guy they have never laid eyes then they are either insane or desperate (probably both). I get a feeling some lawyer is going to make a killing out of this getting all these contracts annulled.

If you are anything like me you probably thought you had misread this news headline. Turns out that individual countries host their own mobile phone throwing competitions and then once a year a world championship is held. Contestants compete in three categories in the annual championships – the traditional over the shoulder style where the aim is to throw the phone as far as possible, the Freestyle category where contestants are judged on aesthetics and creativity and the junior category for children under the ageof 12.

This is the kind of public protest I like. It's clever, witty, they have certainly made their point and no one gets hurt in the protest. Twelve people, dressed in bowler hats and smart suits, carried their own toilets down to the beach, placing them in a line on the beach front before dropping their trousers and sitting. The protesters said they were demanding public toilet facilities, of which there are currently none, in the local area.

A stage five clinger if you're a fan of 'Wedding Crashers.'I realize that this girl was going for super freaky stalker status and that's the joke, but she did the crazy eyes a little TOO well here. Whats weird is that I think she only blinks once in the entire video.  I suppose that for any guy thats had a crazy stalk him this hits rather close to home. Its funny how they all have those crazy eyes. This reminds me of someone....

Someone just asked me what exactly constitutes being classified as a stage five clinger. A stage five clinger can be defined as:

I believe that some people were just born to do stupid things. According to the St. Louis Dispatch some dumb ass in St. Louis USA after being released from jail in the middle of the night decided the only way he could get home was by hot wiring and stealing a golf cart. If that wasn't stupid enough he then left it on his front yard. Police say a 27-year-old man just released from jail stole a golf cart from the Center of Clayton recreation facility and drove it to his home in Lemay. Richard Blome of the 100 block of East Cartwright had been released from the St. Louis County Justice Center at about 1:58a.m. on June 15. He had been arrested about two hours earlier in south St. Louis County for destruction of private property, a county ordinance violation, and was released with a ticket, according to the police.

I came across a rather amusing letter published in The Mirror. A rather desperate woman has written in looking for advice because her husband is accustomed to having sex eight times a day and she is concerned that if she says no to him he will look elsewhere.

 

Letter reads:

 

Dear Coleen,

 

My husband has an enormous sex drive and can want it up to eight times in 24 hours (one weekend we made love 36 times).

I’m 47 and, although fit for my age, this level of activity is killing me!

My husband is slightly younger than me at 45, but is insatiable.

Our love-making is fantastic and he is a good attentive lover.

I don’t want to upset him or have him look elsewhere if I start saying no. Help!

 

and Coleen responds:

 

Coleen says...

 

God love you! I don’t think you’re being unreasonable by saying you can’t keep up with him.

He could actually have a sex addiction problem, but he doesn’t see it because he’s enjoying himself.

Don’t be held to ransom out of fear he’ll leave you and look for sex elsewhere.

Unless you’re a robot, 36 times a weekend is going to finish you off – you won’t have time to do anything else!

And rather than being enjoyable, it’ll just become a chore, leading to all sorts of problems in your relationship.

You must be honest with him.

Tell him you love him and love having sex with him, but having it so often has meant any intimacy and meaning is being lost.

The bottom line is, if it’s a problem for you, it’s a problem.

It’s OK to say no and if he can’t accept that then you may have to accept the two of you aren’t compatible sexually.

 

I can only presume from Coleens letter that both her and her husband are unemployed since they seem to have a lot of spare time on their hands. I would also suggest that this guy is using Viagra heavily. Having said that should you have a similar problem and be seeking some advice from Coleen please click on the link below.

Well it's Thursday and although the weekend hasn't arrived yet I've got just the thing to put a smile on your face…and it comes in the form of a tiny little goat named Buttermilk Sky. Buttermilk is a Nigerian Pygmy Goat from a farm in the USA. Let's just say even this goat has gone Olympic crazy as it is constantly jumping around, bouncing all over the place and leaping over all the other goats…who knows whats going on in its head but it certainly does seem quite happy with life. The video, "Buttermilk Plays With Her Friends" has gone absolutely viral on YouTube racking up over 4 million views since last week… in other words, you definitely have to see this one… careful if you're at work because you'll start giggling uncontrollably and people will think you're weird. Just you wait until you see the back flip! I so want to own a goat like this. I guess the question is where can I buy one of these things?

I guess pretty much every male driver out there already knew this but it still makes scary reading. A study in the UK has revealed that 60% of all male drivers admit to being distracted by attractive female pedestrains. Figures show distracted motorists cause an average of 2,525 crashes every day- the equivalent of 921,840 per year. Researchers found drivers crash their cars into lampposts or shunt other vehicles more in the summer when men and women are wearing less clothing. A study of 2,142 drivers found 60 % of men admitted being distracted by attractive women while 12 % of women said they took their eyes off the road to leer at good looking men. And 21 % of drivers also admitted that advertising billboards featuring pictures of picture perfect models were also a major distraction on the road.

I came across what I perceive to be a ridiculous news article in The Daily Mail today. It claims that Facebook has become such a pervasive force inmodern society that increasing numbers of employers, and even somepsychologists, believe people who aren't on social networking sites are 'suspicious.' I totally disagree with this. How can conflating coincidence and cause be a crime?

 

The German magazine Der Taggspiegel went so far as to point out that accused theater shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik have common ground in their lack of Facebook profiles. On a more tangible level, Forbes.com reports that human resources departments across the country are becoming more wary of young job candidates who don't use the site.

A British explorer is heading to a deserted pacific "treasure island" wheren nineteenth century pirates are said to have stashed a multi million pound hoard of treasure!

It eluded Franklin Roosevelt, Sir Malcolm Campbell and Errol Flynn, but now anexplorer from Melton Mowbray could be on the trail of a multi-million-poundhoard of gold, silver and jewellery stolen by pirates and buried on atreasure island. Shaun Whitehead is leading an archaeological expedition to Cocos Island, the supposed hiding place of the “Treasure of Lima” – one of the world’s mostfabled missing treasures. The haul – said to be worth £160 million – was stolen by a British trader,Captain William Thompson, in 1820 after he was entrusted to transport itfrom Peru to Mexico. He is said to have been stashed his plunder on the Pacific island, from whereit has never been recovered. An original inventory showed 113 gold religious statues, one a life-sizeVirgin Mary, 200 chests of jewels, 273 swords with jewelled hilts, 1,000diamonds, solid gold crowns, 150 chalices and hundreds of gold and silverbars.

Faced with the arduous task of following the 2008 Beijing Games' jaw-dropping opening ceremony spectacular, hailed by many as the greatest event ever even though it exposed the world to the singing voice of an ugly little girl, the organizers of the London Olympics have adopted the curious tactic of making it up as they go. They seem to be under the impression that, as in a brainstorm, there are no wrong answers when it comes to the planning of a live televised event that will be recorded in the annals of history and watched by millions around the world. Now the Times of London is reporting that, in addition to nine geese, Friday's opening ceremony will also feature 30 Mary Poppinses fighting a 40-foot Voldemort [subscription only link], probably because someone suggested it as a joke but it would be embarrassing to scrap the plan now that they've already hired actors to portray the Poppinses.

I got this thing at the moment for really great original adverts. This one is well worth a look. “Bear”, advertising John West Red Salmon, was released on November 20, 2000, quickly becoming known as the most downloaded and most forwarded tv advert online. It’s a British ad promoting a Heinz product, John West canned salmon, for the British market. The ad begins as a nature documentary, showing grizzly bears peacefully fishing in a river. Voiceover: “At the river mouth the bears catch only the tastiest most tender salmon, which is exactly what we at John West want.” Dave the fisherman runs up to the bear and engages in kung fu fighting. The bear delivers a kick or two to the man’s crutch. Dave calls out, “Oh look – an eagle!” With a kick to the bear’s crutch he takes off with the fish.

This is one of the better adverts around...not quite sure what it has to do with "quality paper" but still well worth a look!

This is one of the better advertising ideas I have come across.  Saatchi & Saatchi in Jakarta, Indonesia, has taken interactivity and creepy-crawliness to a new, flat level with the creation of this massive 'floor sticker' in an Jakarta shopping center . The ad, for Jakarta's pet emporium JAKPETZ, promotes Frontline Flea & Tick Spray with the slogan 'Get them off your dog.'Viewed from the upper levels, the people walking on the ad look disgustingly flea-like, and the scene elicits constant reactions that sound something like 'yikes!' The team behind this effective promo included Chief Creative Officer Andy Greenaway, Executive Creative Director Juhi Kalia and Art Directors Aryanto Salim and Joel Clement.

This is pretty intense stuff to watch and I got to be honest and say that I am way to much of a wussy to ever attempt something like this. The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series was in Portugal on Saturday for the third round of the breathtaking competiton.The closest, and one of the most exciting, Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series competitions to date witnessed some stunning dives straight off the rocks - in a return to the sport's roots - and the 28-metre platform. This has to be watched!

I came across two very amusing comments online. They read as follows:

 

"I found a reason to sell my soul. Someone get Satan on the line for me now!".

 

and


"I was going to dedicate my life to curing cancer but now I think I have found something more important to pursue".

 

These kind of comments tend to get ones attention so I took a look at what these two guys were talking about. It turns out they were talking about Joanna and Marta Krupa.

Joanna Krupa (born April 23, 1979) is a Polish-American model and actress. Krupa was born in Warsaw, Poland. She has a younger sister, Marta Krupa, also a model. Joanna Krupa moved to Illinois, United States, with her family at the age of five. She was raised Roman Catholic.

Krupa has appeared on magazine covers including ENVY, FHM, Personal, Inside Sport, Stuff, Steppin' Out, Teeze, Shape and Maxim, in which she was named the Sexiest Swimsuit Model in the World. Maxim named her #55 in its 2011 Hot 100 ranking of the world's hottest women, ahead of Christina Aguilera (58). She was voted German Maxim's Model of the Year 2004-2005. Krupa has also appeared twice on the cover of Playboy. This is definitely a guy thing. I managed to find some more pictures to help all the men out there get there week off to a flying start.

This has to be seen to be believed. A guy in the US who goes by the name of Joey "Jaws" Chestnut managed to eat 68 hotdogs in 10 minutes. Equalling his personal record, the 28-year-old from San Jose, California, bested his main rival this year by 16 dogs at the Coney Island contest. In all, 15 male eaters from the US and Canada attempted to capture the celebrated Mustard Yellow International Belt. Mr Chestnut, the number one ranked eater in the world according to Major League Eating, made a name for himself in 2007 when he halted then reigning champion Takeru Kobayashi's streak of six wins. He holds the titles of World Wonton Eating Champion, with 390 wontons in eight minutes and World Bratwurst Eating Champion, gobbling up 35 bratwurst in 10 minutes. Like any professional athlete, Mr Chestnut said he was aware the strain he was putting his body under in the pursuit of sporting excellence.

Quite an amusing news headline that caught my eye this morning.  A gas station in Montana is offering a $250 reward for information leading to the safe return of Dino. Dino happenes to be a 12 foot long fiberglass dinosaur. For those of you who remember heading up to Plettenberg Bay for the matric rave in 1992 this will ring a bell. There was a similar incident involving a 6 foot fiberglass Zebra that mysterioulsy vannished from a Trek petrol station one night and was never returned. It saddens me to say that Zippie, as he was christened that night, will never be returned. He was buried on Main Beach. I suspect that Dino, like Zippie, has fallen foul of a couple of fun loving drunk students!

Captured by Jay Gartner from a nearby building and uploaded onto YouTube on Sunday, the video has already been viewed over 175,000 times.Tropical storm Debby has been lashing the Florida coastline for the last few days causing widespread flooding in the state.

She’s been on the cover of FHM, appeared in their prestigious calendar, modelled for Guess and Queenspark and now blue-eyed beauty Natasha Barnard of the City Bowl has scooped up a one-year contract with Wonderbra.

It’s easy to see why model Natasha Barnard, with her understated sensuality, has been chosen to represent international lingerie brand, Wonderbra, in South Africa. The original brief for their online search, which attracted 1 000 entries from the who’s who of hot beauties and über-sexy gals in the country, was to search for that special one that epitomises confidence, attractiveness, power and freedom. Originally from Witbank, but living and working as a model in Cape Town for the past four years, the 22-year-old was over the moon when they announced her the winner, at the glittering five-star event held at Johannesburg’s Fashion TV Lounge. “I’ve worked hard to get this far in my career and winning the Wonderbra title is very rewarding,” she says with a twinkle in her eyes. “I am thrilled to represent the brand because it complements my career as a local and international model and most importantly, it is an absolute honour to represent a brand I adore and enjoy wearing. My favourite style has got to be the cleavage bra, but the balconette and strapless Wonderbras are also firm favourites.” Us too....

Love this sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie on the privatization of the police. The critics at the end are great!

27 Jun 2012 Comments 1

For those of you who have never watched A Bit of Fry & Laurie you really need to watch this series. It's a hilarious British sketch comedy television series written by and starring former Cambridge Footlights members Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, broadcast on both BBC1 and BBC2 between 1989 and 1995. It ran for four series and totalled 26 episodes, including a 35 minute pilot episode in 1987. As in The Two Ronnies, elaborate wordplay and innuendo were staples of its material. It frequently broke the fourth wall; characters would revert into their real-life actors mid-sketch, or the camera would often pan off set into the studio. In addition, the show was punctuated with non-sequitur vox pops in a similar style to those of Monty Python's Flying Circus, often making irrelevant statements, heavily based on wordplay.

Interesting article in The Telegraph this morning. Apparently the French are stealing snails from England! When ramblers in the Surrey countryside began to notice a suspicious absence of snails - plump, delicious "escargots" to be precise - even Inspector Clouseau himself might have been able to guess who was to blame. Now conservationists have urged police to crack down on an explosion in illegal poaching of Roman snails after discovering they were being gathered up en masse to meet a grisly, buttery end in local French restaurants.

A tour operator in Nepal calling itself ‘ZipFlyer’ claims to run the world’s fastest zip-line, a 1.8km line that drops 600m, attaining speeds of 160 kmph. Honestly I’m not sure what kind of speeds zip-lines are supposed to be clocking so those numbers don’t mean much, but the helmetcamera bits in the video look insane. What's a Zip-line you ask? Well according to Wikipedia its

 

"A zip-line (also known as a flying fox, foefie slide, zip wire, aerial runway, aerial ropeslide, death slide or Tyrolean crossing) consists of a  pulley suspended on a cable, usually made of stainless steel, mounted on an incline . It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to travel from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable by holding onto, or attaching to, the freely moving

pulley."

 

The bottom line is at 1.8 km in length and with a top speed of 160kmph this is a pretty intense ride.

A quite alarming story on The Huffington Post showed up yesterday. A state in America is paying for children to attend creationsist schools where the existence of the Loch Ness monster is taught as fact in an effort to disprove the theory of evolution.

 

What I find even more alarming is that at the same time they are teaching these children that Apartheid was beneficial to South Africa as segregated schools meant different heritages could be passed on to children. Whats wrong with this picture?

 

Creationists argue that the account in Genesis is strictly literal - God made the world in 7 days (ie, 168 hours), probably some time around 6,000 years ago. This makes them very opposed to the Theory of Evolution as a modern scientific principle, and often to also reject parts of modern physics and cosmology, such as the "Big Bang" theory of the Universe.

 

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I have a serious problem with teaching this stuff to young children.

NASA scientists have released these amazing images of the sun with augmented colours showing activity on the suns surface. The video shows images captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory over 24 hours on September 25, 2011, emphasised in vivid blues, greens and yellows. "There's no science behind [adding the colours]," says Scott Wiesinger of Goddard Space Flight Centre, "But it looks very pretty." The original frames are in the 171 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet which shows plasma on the surface of sun at around 600,000 Kelvin. "This video takes SDO images and applies additional processing to enhance the structures visible," said a Nasa spokesperson. "While there is no scientific value to this processing, it does result in a beautiful, new way of looking at the sun."

Gary Connery, a 42 year old daredevil, plunged from a helicopter in a death-defying jump before landing in an area containing 18,600 cardboard boxes. The father-of-two, a veteran of 880 sky dives, 450 base jumps and dozens of film and television roles, jumped this afternoon above Ridge Wood, Bucks to become the first person to jump from such a height and live without deploying a parachute. The entire flight of nearly a mile took less than a minute and was only given the green light because the weather conditions were “perfect”. Mr Connery, from Henley-on-Thames, Oxon, dropped for three seconds before reaching speeds of more than 80mph in a specially developed wing suit that "started to fly". He landed on a strip measuring about 350ft by 45ft - and at its highest point 12ft off the ground - at Temple Island Meadows, on the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire border.

Whether you are a dog lover or not you have to admit this is one hilarious advertising campaign.

All the vitamins, all the flavor”. Don’t trust your criminal dogs near a tower of cards (Cards), a hidden lover (Husband), pot hole (Blind) or spare body parts (Hand).

The video of a man belly flopping in a murky pond after being led to believe he was making a 50-foot bungee jump has gone viral after it was shared online. More than two million people have watched the stag party stunt, which shows the groom - identified only as Kokovtsov - preparing to leap off the edge of a plank wearing a blindfold and safety harness. Appearing reticent at first to make the jump, the stag eventually leaps into the void cheered on by a crowd lining the bank. His belly-flop into the water prompts fits of laughter from his friends - and millions more online. Even the groom managed to see the funny side, after he was rescued from the shallow water. Personally I have never really understood why men feel the overwhelming need to humiliate the groom to be on his bachelor party.

Quite an amusing story in The Telegraph this morning. Women really have developed "gaydar" which allows them to tell someone's seuality "in the blink of an eye", researchers say. A study found that students asked to tell whether someone was gay or straight guessed correctly more often than could be put down to mere chance. Women had greater accuracy with 65 per cent able to identify someone's sexuality at a glance, while men were correct 57 per cent of the time.

A domino enthusiast has broken his personal record and caused and internet sensation by balancing 60, 000 dominoes just to knock them down. I was a bit disappointed with this clip I felt it could have been a little bit more exciting.  Each of the 60 big dominoes in the chain contained 990 dominoes, with 600 dominoes used to spell out numbers on the floor, making a total of 60,000. The task took YouTube user FlippyCat 65.5 hours to complete but took only 12 seconds for all the dominoes to fall down when pushed. The video has created a lot of internet interest with over 800,000 hits in just over a week.

They are purportedly being sold by the estate of Baron Joseph "Sepy" de Bicske Dobronyi, described as an aristocrat, art collector, traveller and Playboy.

The Cafe Neko ("Neko" meaning "cat" in Japanese) opened earlier this month in Vienna city centre. Customers can stroke and interact with the cafe's five feline hosts, named Sonja, Thomas, Moritz, Luca and Momo, who all came from an animal shelter and now freely roam about the cafe and take naps. The cafe was opened by Vienna resident Takako Ishimitsu, a 47-year-old woman originally from Nagoya, Japan, who moved to Vienna some 20 years ago. She had to spend three years negotiating with city officials over hygiene issues for the cafe to be allowed to open.

 

Ishimitsu said she decided to open a cat cafe in order to introduce some aspects of Japanese culture to Vienna.

"Showing unknown Japanese concepts is good for Austria. I had various ideas, and the cat cafe project was the least difficult to realize. And at the same time, I can do something good for the Vienna animal shelter which I have been supporting for years," cafe owner Takako Ishimitsu said. She added that the 50-seat cafe was an instant hit with locals and tourists alike.

 

"Surprisingly, more than 99 per cent the reactions are positive. One of our goals is to provide some happiness to people who cannot have cats on their own, because of their jobs or family members suffering from allergies," Ishimitsu said.

Harnessed to a cart with two wheels and a seat, known as a sulky, the horses were recorded racing down the main road from Mallow to Cork, one of the busiest routes in Ireland, on Saturday. Around 60 spectators in cars and vans can be seen following racers as a police car attempts to stop the race by blocking the road. Superintendent Con Cadogan, from the Irish Police, said: "We regard this as a really serious incident and it being fully investigated at the moment."One man was arrested at the scene.

How do you know if he's "the one?" Check to make sure that he has a pulse and isn't already married to someone else. In other words, don't be too picky, at least according to the Catholic Church in Australia. "Are women getting too choosy? I'd say yes," Father Tony Kerin from the Archdiocese of Melbourne told the Herald Sun of Australia. "I think many are setting aside their aspirations for later, but by the time they get around to it, they've missed their chance."

 

Kerin's comments came in light of research by demographer Bernard Salt. According to Salt, there are 1.3 million women and 1.343 million men between the ages of 25 to 34 living in Australia, the Herald Sun reported. But of those 1.3 million men, only 86,000 are actually "marriage material," because the other men are already married, gay or in a serious relationship, according to Salt's calculations. Salt himself, however, seems a little picky: he also excluded men who are single parents and men who earn less than $60,000 a year.

 

Concerns about a "man drought" in Australia are not new. BBC News reported in 2008 that there were 100,000 more females than males living in Australia, and the gender imbalance was especially bad in Australia's coastal cities. The imbalance was caused by thousands of Australian men in their 20s and 30s leaving the country to travel or to find work, according to the BBC.

 

And the Australian Bureau of Statistics says that between 1990 and 2001, the "crude marriage rate" declined from 6.9 to 5.3 marriages per 1,000 population.

I guess I shouldn't be to harsh on the young man but really we live in a world gone mad.

We all know that there are some pretty weird dating sites out there but in my humble opinion this one takes the cake. A new travel dating site just opened up where (and it's better here if I just quote their website "where rich people take pretty people on fancy vacations". The name of this new venture is Miss Travel and yip you guessed it the rich people have to be men and the pretty people can only be women.  The site's tagline explains it all: Who needs money, beautiful people travel free! This is how it works: women who want to travel but lack the funds or the companionship fill out a traditional dating profile, and list the places they'd most like to travel to. Generous men who are also looking for travel buddies browse through the profiles, select a woman, and the two love birds plan a trip and fly off into the sunset together.

According to CBS Los Angeles News a law has just been passed which will mean that all porn movies will have to be reviewed by the police before they can distributed to the public. I am gathering that there will be lots of sweaty detectives begging to work overtime. Beginning in May, all pornographic film productions must use condoms at all times. Under the new law, producers have to submit unedited copies of their adult films to the Simi Valley Police Department for review. The law does have an exemption when filming for “personal use.” Thank God!

The new ordinance stems from a similar measure passed by the City of Los Angeles in January. Many adult films are made in Chatsworth, near LA County’s border with Simi Valley. The council feared those productions would simply move a few miles west, into Simi Valley.

Sex in the city is thriving on one midtown Manhattan block, where clubgoers are getting down and dirty in the back seats of their cars. They don't call it the Naked City for nothing, we guess. The amount of sex and condom-littering in the area is so widespread that disgusted, sleep-deprived residents around West 30th between Seventh and Eighth avenues are demanding the city ban parking on weekend nights. They also have some free advice for the horny, party-going hordes: "Get a room!"

A blog comparing Rafael Nadal to a capybara has become an overnight sensation. The postings on the blogging site Tumblr compare nine photographs of the king-size rodent with the world number two. The blog shows an uncanny resemblance between the South American rodent and the former Wimbledon champion, from Majorca, Spain, in a variety of poses. Both are seen snarling and staring, drinking from water bottles and with their heads wrapped in towels. The web page, titled "Capybaras that Look Like Rafael Nadal", has been “volleyed back and forth” across the globe and has so far netted more than 130,000 hits. It was created by Laurie Ainley, 26, a central London-based web developer, as a "quick joke" after watching the Spaniard, 25, playing Roger Federer, 30, in a Wimbledon final. Source: [Telegraph]

I was thinking about the previous post and thought I would find out a little bit more about who exactly Ms Bar Refaeli is. It turns out that Israeli born model Bar Refaeli is a force of beauty to be reckoned with. The 25 year-old was the cover model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and is dated Leonardo Dicaprio. Is there any famous model this guy hasn't dated?

I really couldn't tell you what this advert is for. They could be trying to sell tennis balls, tennis racquets, clothing, underwear or just about anything else for that matter. What matters though is that for whatever reason we have a video of supermodel Bar Refaeli playing tennis in her underwear and what ever it is they are selling I will buy it.

This really made me laugh. Talk about digging your own grave. Bob Beckel, the co-host of The Five show on Fox News, was appearing on Sean Hannity's programme when he said the F-word to his fellow panellist Jennifer Stefano. As the show returned from a break, Mr Beckel shouted at Miss Stefano, "you don't know what the f--- you're talking about!" "Whoa! Bleep! What are you doing?" Mr Hannity, the show's host, asked. Mr Beckel replied that he couldn't "stand right-wingers running their mouths all the time." Mr Hannity was forced to say sorry to viewers after Beckel insisted "I don't apologise." "Yes you do!" Mr Hannity pressed. "You just cursed on the air!"  Mr Beckel said that he thought they were not on air at the time. "Yeah we were on the air," Mr Hannity told him. Mr Beckel eventually apologised.

The Austrian village of Fucking is to vote on a name change in an attempt to escape the constant ridicule and attention the name attracts the hamlet. The 104 residents of the village will cast their votes later this week on whether to alter the name. “People are now willing to discuss changes to the spelling of the name,” Franz Meindl, the village’s mayor, said in a television interview. “But first all Fuckingers have to agree on whether want to change it or not.” For centuries the tiny village in northern Austria lived life in happy obscurity, but life changed when US troops, stationed in the area at the end of the Second World War, discovered it, and since then the village’s name has been a constant source of amusement for tourists and irritation for locals. At least 13 £250 road signs bearing the village’s name have been stolen, and the sight of semi-naked women posing for photographs beside signs has become a common sight. One local business woman, exasperated with people stealing her sign has taken to adding another “g” in the hope it will deter thieves. A brisk market in postcards and Christmas cards making liberal use of the name have also managed to spread its fame. In an attempt to curtail the fun had at the village’s expense some locals want to readopt its 16th-Century spelling and replace the “ck” with a single or double “g”. Experts say the town’s name is derived from Focko, a 6th Century Bavarian nobleman, and the modern spelling was adopted in the 18th Century.Source: [The Telegraph]

Judged only to be medium-sized by the US space agency, the powerful flare erupted from the sun on Monday and was caught on camera by Nasa's SDO satellite.The ejections of plasma, known as coronal mass ejections (CME), can cause electrical storms and vivid displays of the aurora borealis phenomena on Earth, but this flare was not fired in our direction according to scientists.The strength of solar flares, caused by the release of magnetic energy stored in the sun's atmosphere, is measured on a letter scale by astronomers. The strongest eruptions, which can release as much energy as one billion megatons of TNT, fall into three categories – C, M and X – with X marking the strongest. The latest flare registered as an M1 class, placing it in the middle of the scale. Source: [The Telegraph]

This article in The Telegraph confirms what I have long suspected that people just love getting involved in silly petty disagreements. An argument has broken out between Austria and Slovenia over the naming of a regional sausage. Slovenia wants the Krainer sausage to be given special protected EU status, similar to champagne, Parmesan and the Cornish pasty. Slovenia claims that the minced pork sausage was invented in northern Slovenia in the 19th Century. But Slovenia's plans have upset Austria, where they believe the sausage is their own. Their cheese-filled variation of the sausage, the Kaesekrainer, is a great favourite. Josef Bitzinger from the Vienna Chamber of Commerce told the BBC that the sausage was part of Austria's heritage, and renaming it would be unthinkable. "To rename this beloved speciality is simply impossible," he said in a statement. Vienna sausage stands are a trademark of the city and Kaesekrainers have to be on offer. Frankfurter sausages are called Wiener Wuerstel in Germany and that is not a problem." Slovenia is applying to the European Commission for Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, because of the meat's connection to the Kranjska region. Austria has said it will challenge the bid. If the two countries cannot resolve the issue in the next six months, the European Commission will make a ruling.

A traffic police officer in Vietnam was left clinging to the front of a moving bus for over a kilometer after he tried to stop a rogue bus driver. Traffic policeman Second Lieutenant Nguyen Manh Phan ordered bus driver Phung Hong Phuong to pull over his 39-seat passenger coach on Monday after he allegedly refused to show his paperwork, a local police officer said. When Mr Phung refused and tried to drive off, the officer leapt onto the front of the bus and clung to its windscreen wipers. Video shot by one of the 2nd Lt Nguyen's colleagues show him struggling to maintain his footing on the bus, which was travelling at 30mph. He can be heard shouting: "Call the police!" as he dangled precariously from the vehicle. The driver, who was released in 2010 after serving nearly four years in prison for a fatal traffic accident, eventually pulled over after being chased by police and villagers. [Telegraph]

A report on NEWS24 this morning says that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged. To be honest I thought they already were married.

 

NEW YORK - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged. Pitt's manager confirmed the news to The Associated Press in an e-mail on Friday. Cynthia Pett-Dante said that there isn't a wedding date "at this time." She also said that the engagement "is a promise for the future". Pitt and Jolie have three adopted children and three biological children.

Pett-Dante also said that "their kids are very happy".

 

No kidding the kids are very very happy. So would I be if I was born into that family. Having said that I am a big fan and have to say that Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It and Salt and three of my favourite movies.

A four year old girl with the IQ of a "genius" has been accepted into Mensa - before she has even started school. Heidi Hankins sat an IQ test after staff at her nursery said she was so intelligent they were struggling to find activities to challenge her. The average score for an adult is 100 and a "gifted" individual 130 but the exceptional youngster impressed examiners with a staggering 159. Heidi - who can already add, subtract, draw figures and write in sentences - was reading books for seven year olds when she was just two. She beats numbers whizz Carol Vorderman (score 154) and is only slightly behind Big Bang scientist Stephen Hawking (160), who are both members of Mensa.

Furthermore the one scientist actually admits he doubts he will be able to solve this mystery in his lifetime. I think thats a good thing....let the little pigeons keep their little secret.

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you look when they take your picture. For 25-year-old Zeddie Little of New York, an affable smile amidst the pain of long-distance running that was captured during a 10k race in Charleston, S.C. turned him into a viral phenomenon knows as "Really Photogenic Guy." Nearly 1.4 million people have viewed the picture in recent days on Flickr and it has been uploaded countless times to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

 

A South Carolina systems analyst named Will King was looking through his photos of last weekend's Cooper River Bridge 10k when he stumbled across the one above. He noticed how different Little looked than all the other runners and uploaded it.

 

"One of my friends commented on the picture and said something along the lines of 'I dub this guy Mr. Ridiculously Photogenic,'" King told the Post and Courier . "I thought it was a pretty cool comment, so I posted it on Reddit. For some reason it just took off from there."

 

The nickname sounds like one the characters on "Friends" would have bestowed upon a handsome neighbor.

The juxtaposition of Little's smile and the rest of the runners is what makes the picture so amusing. Photoshop him out of that shot and put him in a family photo at Disney World and Little doesn't look any more "ridiculously photogenic" than anyone else. But while running a 45-minute race in the spring heat of South Carolina? Yeah, that's a photogenic guy.

Since the girl in question who posted the Tweet is in my opinion one of the best Chefs around I thought I would check it out and see what all the fuss was about.

 

Clarke's Diner describe themselves on their website as being "a little bar & dining room in Cape Town, South Africa". Situated in 133 Bree Street in what used to be a motorcycle repair shop. In true American Diner fashion the interior is anything but conventional.

The Fermi paradox, named for the physicist Enrico Fermi, goes something like this: given how big and old the universe apparently is, there is bound to be alien life out there somewhere. But given that the universe is so big and so old, if there's alien life out there, why haven't we earthlings encountered it yet? The experiment certainly has run its course for long enough now.

 

The paradox may play in the mind of anyone who catches an astounding image released this week by Nasa of … the entire universe. The full-size image (and what warrants full size as much as an image of the universe?) is here.

The image is actually a mosaic of the images covering the entire sky as observed by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (Wise). Wies is an unmanned satellite carrying an infrared-sensitive telescope. As with a flat map of the Earth's surface, the right and left edges of this oval shape are the same location in the sky. The bright belt is the Milky Way galaxy.

 

NASA explains:

The Milky Way is shaped like a disc and the solar system is located in that disc about two-thirds of the way out from the centre. So we see the Milky Way as a band running through the sky. As we look toward the centre of the Galaxy we are looking through more of the disc than when we are looking at large angles away from the centre, and you can see a noticeable increase in stars (coloured blue-green) toward the centre of the image … Residuals of the planets Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter are visible in this image as bright red spots off the plane of the galaxy at the 1.00, 2.00 and 7.00 positions, respectively.

The Space Sciences Laboratory at Berkeley has helpfully labeled some of the heavenly bodies visible in the image. Our favorites include Andromeda Galaxy, The Pleiades, Sombrero Galaxy, Heart and Soul Nebula and, of course, the Fornax Cluster. Just look at that up there

London - Greek actress Tonia Sotiropoulou has joined the cast of Skyfall. Although production on the 23rd James Bond film is currently in full swing, the beauty confirmed she would be taking part and will be filming in Turkey.

Writing on her personal Facebook, she said: "Dear friends I officially announce I got a part in J. Bond new film!!! Turkey here I come! Thank u all for you love and support! This is officially the happiest day of my life bitches!!!!(sic)"

According to reports she initially came to the attention of producers when she auditioned for the role of Severine, which eventually went to Berenice Marlohe. She will have a small role as a woman who romances Bond - played by Daniel Craig - early on in the picture, and will shoot the scenes later this month. Skyfall - which is being directed by Sam Mendes - is set for a November release, and alongside Daniel also stars Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench and Naomie Harris.[NEWS24]

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. Apparently a truck carrying a delivery of medical marijuana in California, was hijacked by a group of baton-carrying ninjas. They made off with a bag of cash, as well as some product.

 

Police are looking into a bizarre report of a medical marijuana robbery involving two attackers dressed as ninjas, officials said. Police received the strange report shortly before 10 p.m. Friday from a medical marijuana delivery man who said he had been robbed in the 800 block of South Sunset Avenue, near Cameron Avenue, after making a delivery to a patient West Covina police Lt. Alan Henley said. The delivery man, who was in his 40s, told police that, “As he was going back to his vehicle, he was approached by two subjects in ninja costumes who chased him with batons,” the lieutenant said. “The victim said he was scared and he dropped a bag with some marijuana and money. The suspects took it,” Henley added. It was not clear how much cash or pot was taken, police added. The incident remained under investigation. Police were not aware of any other recent crimes involving suspects dressed as ninjas.

 

 

Lot of people are confused by this story. Like what are ninjas doing in California? I thought they were only in Asia? What is a ninja anyway? A ninja is one who can use everything around him to trick his enemies. He and fast and he is friendly to his environment. A ninja is honest and good. His mind, body and spirit are one. He has self-control. He has discipline. A ninja loves nature, uh, ’cause he is part of nature. A ninja never fights a battle if he cannot win. And a ninja loves rolling a fat fucking blunt from the bag of weed he stole from the marijuana delivery man on South Sunset Avenue. Maybe that will help.

 

PS – Hey marijuana delivery man don’t take it too hard bro. Three lessons you have to learn from this battle. Never attack unless you’re gonna win. Don’t climb a tree that’s full of thorns. And don’t carry a sack of weed and cash through Ninja territory without friends or weapons. It’s common sense really.

Even cooler, they’ve left the camera equipment with residents of the region, who will collect even more photos in the months to come.

After more than 600 tweets, Mike received a provisional 'yes' from porn star Megan Piper - on the condition that he paid for her air fare from Los Angeles to Oakdale, Minnesota.

Two news stories caught my eye this morning. They both make for amusing reading and raise one or two questions. The first is about a domestic worker who allegedly stole R1 million from her employers kist. To begin with who actually keeps a million bucks in a kist and secondly what in hells name is a "kist"? I googled it and according to definitions.net a kist is defined as "a chest of sorts" or a "a stated payment of rent for land". I am gathering we go with the first explanation. The second story is about some guy near Vryburg who was caught speeding on his motorbike at 226km/h and failed to heed a policeman's order to stop. No kidding chances are that at 226km/h he didn't even see the policeman.

Jeb Corliss, a daredevil who nearly died after crashing into Table Mountain, has posted footage of the accident.

 

Corliss broke both his legs when he hit a outcrop of rocks while hurtling down the mountain in Cape Town at a speed of 120mph.

 

Corliss, 35, was being filmed by US network HBO and was performing his second jump from the Cape Town landmark when the accident happened at 10am on Jan 16.

 

A spokesman for Table Mountain, Merle Collins, said Mr Corliss was "lucky to be alive" after he fell more than 200 feet from the 3,500 foot mountain before landing on a sloped side known as Africa Face.

 

"He managed to release his emergency chute and we believe he would have died without it," she said.

He was recovered from close to the base of the mountain by air ambulance and taken to a private hospital in the city where he was admitted to intensive care.

South African Law

 

Two recent court cases have earned the attention of newspaper readers in South Africa :

 

1. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV licence.

 

2. Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder.

The moral of this South African story:

 

If you do not have a TV licence and the inspector comes round, kill him.

You'll save R500.

 

... It's the Right Thing To Do ....
