A skatboarder in Germany achieved 50MPH+ on the highway.  The German government is still trying to track down the person who did it to put him in jail but I think they should give him an award instead.

A video of the skateboarder, broadcast on German television networks on Wednesday, showed a helmeted figure wearing a red and white protective suit building up speed by holding onto the back of a motorcycle before letting go and freewheeling.

“We put out an all-points bulletin and have

AirBed & Breakfast Lets you Sleep Over at Someone’s House!

Posted on August 11, 2008 by max

Here’s a great idea for beating hotel rates.  It’s a AirBed and Breakfast, meaning you get to stay at some random person’s home with your airbed.  Of course, you do take a great risk of finding a serial-killer’s home but if you are barely living it up, this might save you some good pocket change.

AirBed and Breakfast will definitely appeal to younger travelers, and conventioneers who can’t find a regular hotel room. In overbooked Denver, where 20,000 people will be descending for the D

Posted on July 23, 2008 by max

The Yankee Stadium security team has recently found sunscreen to be a dangerous lethal weapon.  They are banning all sunscreens from entering the Yankee Stadium.

That’s right folks, make sure to put your sunscreen on your skin before entering the stadium.  If you happen to forget, just be ready for cancer-causing UV rays to enter straight into your pores for 3-4 hours.

Some people have retaliated by suing the city of New York as this new screening process puts most of their dumb citizens (who forget to put sunscreen on beforehand) un

The clue’s in the name because these magical lights are powered by one of the hottest stars in the universe

Posted on May 21, 2008 by max

How much land is 16 acres? You could probably easily fit about 10 small houses in an acre so 16 acres is about the size of 1,600 160 small houses or 64 749.7028 meter squared for those of you in international countries.

Florida Gulf Coast University, a college opened in 1997 with a focus on the environment, was given $8.5 million by politicians to start a big solar farm of 16 acres on its campus.

The school’s focus is environmental sustainability and it has a special center dedicated to that purpose, but Shepard said using renewable e
