The Most Dangerous Race on Earth - Neatorama

The World BASE Race is not a race to the top, but to the bottom: 2,500 feet down a cliff! BASE jumpers from all over the world come to Rauma, Norway, to don wingsuits and compete, or just to watch. Unlike other BASE jumping competitions, this one is based on speed, with the winner being the one fastest to reach the bottom of the course in one piece. Read more about the race and see plenty of photographs at Environmental Graffiti. Link

Um, no? There was no malware warning when I went there. Environmental graffiti is a legitimate, well-known website. Sounds like you have a virus and are falsely associating it with this site.

The music is a Russian pop song called "Popcorn" ... We did a crazy dance to it in my college folk dance class in the early 1990s (the most fun way to get a PE credit, I assure you). Any other Carleton College folk alumni out there? Does the Popcorn dance still go on?

It's so appropriate that Statler and Waldorf became trolls in these videos.

Can't wait for Jason Segal's Muppet movie
