Just because I can, here’s a video of Chuck Aaron, the only FAA-certified helicopter stuntpilot on earth, doing unnatural and frightening things with a helicopter.
That made my afternoon marginally less boring. Hope it did the same for you.
Look at those beaches!
Saturn’s plucky little moon, Titan, is full of- and covered in- surprises. Yesterday, the Cassini-Huygens Probe discovered a giant lake on Titan’s surface, the only other known example of standing liquid in the solar system.
With this discovery, inter-planetary entrepreneurs are no doubt rushing to build Titan’s first all-inclusive resort. And why not? Think of the awesomeness:
So this year, let’s all go to Titan. It’s a bit pricey (the cost of the Cassini-Huygens probe is estimated at $3.26 billion) but think of all the fun we’ll have when we get their. Oily, freezing and oxygenless fun.
The strange saga of the Montauk Monster continues.
The Venom Energy Drink company (I know, I haven’t heard of it either) has offered a lifetime supply of its product for the person(s) who capture a live Montauk Monster.
The upshot: anyone with the time and opportunity to shave a dog can have unlimited access to a crappy energy drink made by Snapple. The system works!
UPDATE: 1 out of 1 experts on Fox News agree: the MM is a raccoon. This makes it only slightly less easy to claim the bounty,
The University of Wolverhampton has published a list of the world’s oldest jokes, and they do not disappoint.
Number three comes from ancient Britain:
“What hangs at a man’s thigh and wants to poke the hole that it’s often poked before? A key.”
Hilarious! It’s funny because it’s true.
Number three is an Egyptian corker:
“How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish.”
Outrageous! Oh, those silly pharohs. They love the ladies.
But the oldest recorded joke is head and shoulders above the rest. From ancient Sumeria:
“Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.”
Oh, MAN. That slays me. It works on so many levels- women, laps, matrimony, flatulence…it’s like they read my mind and new everything I wanted. Thank you, ancient Sumeria, for teaching us to life again. Particularly since modern-day Sumeria – aka Iraq-has a terrible sense of humor.
