Moral: Don't Cheat, For Many Reasons


Well alrighty then, I'll make this into a quaint little multiple choice option for you in case you happen to find yourself wondering what is going on here:

A.The man appearing to be hanging from the balcony is actually a private in the military doing some in-the-field pull-ups for the aggressive drill master with the gun. The lady is the nurse just looking on.
B.An innocent man was just trying to borrow some pants from his neighbor who said “no” and flipped out.
C.The woman is worried about this man who is about to fall off the balcony and the only thing the other man had to try to help give him something to grab hold of was a gun.
D.The man with the large gun is about to annihilate the other guy after he caught his wife cheating on him with this schmuck. The schmuck is pretty much screwed either way because he can either fall and break some bones or stay and probably get shot.

By the off chance that you really didn’t know the answer, it is option “D”. Bad move guy, seriously bad move – I’d say you probably deserve what’s about to happen. And just a side note, anybody else wonder what the person taking this picture was thinking…?!

Iverson Strikes Again


The clock is ticking down to the last minute and the Hawks are up by one. Can Allen the superhero save the day? Let's see: In comes Iverson for a fantastic dunk, no wait, it's his infamous crotch shot. Unfortunately, no points were awarded for this. The look on the face says it all, there is just no way you can spin this to make it a pleasant experience.

Evolution of the Toilet: Go on the Go


In fact, I do find myself sometimes wondering if I could make using the bathroom more convenient or efficient while I'm on a road trip. Herein lies the magnificent answer: the toilet-mobile.

Just picture with me the glorious possibilities of this reality. First, let's pretend this idea morphed into a production ready, four-seater (because who wouldn't want it...). Next, let's pretend you are on a long trip in the car (aka your toilet-mobile)and you think, dadgumit, if my kids have to stop one more time to use the bathroom, I am gonna lose it...but wait...I don't...have to stop...brilliant! One can lose precious travel time with silly bathroom stops, and over your lifetime that could mean literally weeks added to your lifespan. Ahhh, yes, the entrepreneurial spirit of America strikes gold again!

Nature Calls, and Seems Upset

Today I give you this...there are simply just not enough words to describe this video. It is astounding on way too many levels, so enjoy it and remember to think twice before harming that little twig in your yard, it has feelings, too, apparently.

The REAL Spiderman


Let’s get a couple things straight about this picture before I dive into the usual sarcastic ranting. First, have a close look and you will see that this man is not attached in any way to the building; just some good ole fashioned free climbing. Second, notice how high he is compared to the skyline. That’s because Alain Robert only climbs the highest buildings in the city.

In his lifetime, which will no doubt fall a bit below the average life span, Alain has climbed over 70 skyscrapers and monuments…WITH ONLY HIS BARE HANDS!! That’s right, no ropes or safety equipment whatsoever! Some notable mentions include the Sears Tower, Petronas Twin Towers and, to a group of 100,000 spectators, the National Bank of Adu Dhabi. Some people are missing various inhibitory mechanisms in their brain…others are just missing their brain entirely. Next time you are criticized for doing something “dangerous” or “crazy”, just remind your critic what “crazy” truly is.

Breakthrough Riding Mower Technology


Despite decades of dedicated research and development by many prestigious companies such as John Deere and Toro, it was two young backwoods developers who inaugurated the best new riding mower technology to date. Think about all of the great benefits displayed by these scholars: you can far exceed speeds of a normal riding lawnmower; you have a buddy with you at all times so as to avoid the dreaded “lonely mow”; if you get tired of cutting the grass you can just ride off to do some 4 wheelin’. There are many more clear advantages to this new machine but I’ll let you use your imagination.

Just remember, next time you think you don’t have something – like a riding mower – turn that frown upside down because you can always consult the rednecks of the world to come up with something genius.

The Public Sink (must be 18 or older)


Once again, China amazes us with its best creative minds as depicted here in this rather brash sink design. I can just picture it now, walking around the corner to wash your hands after using the bathroom to meet your naked, half-bodied female…sink. Yes, in fact, this is an actual PUBLIC sink which brings to mind a few questions:

1. Was this actually commissioned by the public?
2. Was it approved prior to its inaugural hand washing experience?
3. Do they have smaller, dare I say, “kid-friendly” versions?
4. I wonder if the engineers were male or female…okay, yeah, they had to be male.

So hats off to you, oh mighty and slightly perverted plumbing engineer – may you continue to shock the public with your outside of the box thinking.

The New High Roller


So you’re asking yourself, what is the newest and most advanced mode of transportation and how to I get my hands on it? Look no further than the cutting edge technology manifested in this remarkable Indian transportation specimen. It is well equipped with a powerful engine (that has been removed and replaced by an under-fed farm animal), a lovely baby blue passenger compartment (that is technically a double-decker due to the cozy driver’s compartment underneath) as well as the fuel efficiency and stability afforded by having only two wheels instead of the over rated four wheel setup.

Looking to impress your friends with your next ride? I can only image that this fine (vehicle?) will cost well into the hundreds of thousands but official numbers are not out as of yet. My best guess is that the personal cheerful chauffeur will cost extra.

Jesus Wins Every Time


I was afraid of a day like this coming, where Jesus would morph into a modern day sports star. I must say, when I came across this supurb trophy, I did let a grin slide across my face. I mean, look at this, Jesus is portrayed as a non-athletically dressed bearded man dominating some young children (with immaculate mullets, might I add) in a game of hoops!? Whats that? Oh yeah, I think I see the 2011 church baskeball trophy changing up a bit, gaining some real zing! It would certianly heighten the competition – what kid wouldn’t want to go back to playing church ball to claim one of these coveted beauties to rest on the shelf.

I do hope this is an actual production trophy, because this could be the next million dollar idea. I will surely post a link to where you can purcahse this if I find it.

Questionable Runway


This brilliantly situated runway is located on the island of St. Barthelemy in the French West Indies. The reported clearance from the street to incoming planes is supposed to be 20 feet, but not every pilot can get it right every time. However, believe it or not, there have only been 2 reported fatal accidents at this airstrip (yes, it does make one wonder how many non-reported incidents have occurred here). You should take heart though, because thankfully only pilots with special licenses can land on this charming runway. Oh, and it is the shortest runway in the world, too, so if you can land on it, you better have some good braking skills – or a nearby floatation device.

Chongqing "Sunshine" Toilet


No ladies and gents, your eyes are not deceiving you, this is an actual and legitimate creation of mankind that has sparked much controversy in the enchanting town of Chongqing. Needless to say, the engineering is of this creation is quite bold. Appropriately named the Sunshine Toilet, this open air facility at Yang Ren Street in Chongqing is aimed at making you feel perfectly comfortable while relieving yourself...if you are very abnormal.

Additionally, one can get a bird's eye view of the roofless toilet from a nearby hill, which has apparently angered residents saying it "doesn't protect my privacy." Well, here's a newsflash, look at the dad-gum thing! It doesn't quite instill a warm cozy aura of privacy!

A last note on this lovely creation is that some stalls even have a painting of a woman peeping at the person using it!

Saluki



The Saluki (Arabic: سلوقي) is perhaps the oldest known breed of domesticated dog. A study published in the May 21, 2004, issue of Science confirms the Saluki's antiquity through DNA analysis identifying it as one of the earliest breeds to diverge from wolves.[1] Like elsewhere in the Fertile Crescent region, Saluki-like animals appear on the ancient ceramics from Susa and Sialk of 3500 B.C.E. in Iran, as well as on Egyptian tombs of 2100 B.C.E.[2] The breed had been occasionally imported to England before 1840, however there was no serious interest until the Hon. Florence Amherst imported a breeding pair of Salukis from Lower Egypt in 1895 and began working to popularize the breed. The Kennel Club recognized Salukis in 1923.

Widely admired for its beauty, speed and endurance, the Saluki is a sighthound and historically traveled throughout the Middle East with nomadic desert tribes over an area stretching from the Sahara to the Caspian Sea. As a result, different Saluki subtypes, varying mostly in colour and coat, can be found across this widely scattered area.
