I saw two guys doing this for a half-time show at a basketball game years ago. Had no idea it was an organized sport... Truly neat stuff! but it looks like a good recipe for hyper-extended joints and torn ligaments.
There was an exercise fad years ago that featured hanging upside down by a pair of boots with hooks on the front. Killer sit-ups. I tried it; didn't suit me at all.
So what determines that these guys are the hottest? How they look in their portraits? How incredibly shallow. ;o)
Calling these guys "hot" is kinda like saying your grandmother is hot; do you have any idea how old these guys would be if they were still alive today? I do. Good old Matt is one of my ancestors. (I take after him in always being fashionably late -- his is the last signature on the Declaration.)
The critter in the video looked smaller than the garden variety badgers that inhabit these parts. But the giant badgers... gotta be another brainchild of Bush. Or at least something that'll be blamed on Bush.
What is the problem with the non-metric system anyway, and why do so many people get their underwear so bundled by it? True, some of the measures are a bit obscure and require a little memorization... It's really not that difficult for moderately intelligent people. Guess the metric system is for those who are not? ;o)
If you follow the bestlifeonline.com link & scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a "Congratulations to all of the amazing fathers who were nominated:" section. One of the names in the list jumped out at me — "JENNIFER NEWMAN". I'd love to hear the story behind that one.
I'm with Adam on this one; brilliant hoax. Anything associated with Coast To Coast AM & Art Bell is for the off-the-charts tin-foil-hat crowd. In other words, it's purified BS.
What I don't get is how elaborate this whole thing is. I can see coming up with a good story, but somebody has done a huge amount of work trying to make the gullible believe it's true. And for what? A guest spot on Art Bell's late-night radio show, or maybe a book deal that'll sell a couple thousand copies?
I just don't get the motivation for some of this crap.
Dang. Thanks for that link, KiM; without that, I was sure it was a Photoshop job. I know a zorse is for real, but that patchwork hide thing she's got going is bizarre.
As for the "remarkable beauty" comment, guess that's an eye of the beholder thing. ;o)
I'm with Simon on this one; the amount of fat required to stop a bullet depends on lots of variables that they really didn't cover very well. Interesting premise, but projectile shape, weight, muzzle velocity and distance to target would all play into the equation.
Pretty safe to say that being shot is bad. Being fat is bad too. Avoid both to live a long life.
The biggest problem with "The Floater" (aside from the name!) is that it keeps the lid closed; if you're using an external monitor with the MacBook Pro, it can operate in dual screen mode. It'd be stupid to keep the lid closed like that.
I've got a PowerBook G4 that I use with an external monitor when at work, and the PB sits on a stand that keeps the two monitors at the same height, and doesn't use any more desk space than "The Floater".
Looks like all of Balmuda's products are over-priced & over-engineered.

I'd file this under Colossally Bad Ideas. How long would it be before someone hooked it up to the wrong kind of exhaust and died from CO2 poisoning?
