These two guys spent 90 hours (!!!) to race across the country from San Fran to New York using Google Streetview. They furiously clicked their mouses a total of 104,000 times, which is about 104,000 more times than they’ve gotten action with the ladies.

OK, on first glance NY governor candidate Jimmy McMillan (from the ‘Rent Is Too Damn High’ party) might seem a bit…different. But once you listen to him present his platform, you’ll forget all about Cuomo, Paladino, and the rest of those jokers. Not only does Jimmy hate those ‘damn high’ rents (they ARE damn high!), he’s also a staunch advocate for eating three full meals a day (‘breakfastlunchanddinner’). No more skipping breakfast, ya heard!?!

The other things I love about Jimmy McMillan:
- He believes in Shoe Marriage, a hotly controversial topic this election cycle
- He follows the #1 rule of Karate experts: Thou Shalt Not Talk About Other People On Stage
- His winning smile!
Someone has FINALLY broken the 2004 world record for building the world’s largest rocking horse. I want to know why it took six long years. There’s absolutely no way I can wait another six years for the next unnecessarily large rocking horse to be built!

By the way, it cost $500,000 to build this thing! What?!?
While filming a National Geographic doc on the migration of elephants in West Africa, cameraman Bob Poole was confronted by Mother Nature having a nervous breakdown. A gigantic sand storm suddenly erupted and plunged the entire area into complete ‘redness’, like the surface of Mars. Bob kept his camera rolling like a maniac true professional, and came back with this stunning footage:

So, everybody…here’s how to give an opossum a pedicure, taught by someone I like to call Outrageous Lady. I was so focused on how wonderfully insane she was, I barely noticed the wild woodland creature she was pampering.

Vincent Falk, aka “Fashion Man”, likes wearing brightly colored neon suits and spinning around in a circles. Around and around and around and around…so much so that he’s become a quasi-celebrity in Chicago and the subject of a new documentary taking the festival circuit by storm. Just who is this distinguished gentlemen? Where does he come from? Where does he get his suits? And most importantly, what’s the deal with all the twirling?
The channel 5 local news team loves him so much that they feature him regularly on their newscasts. Have a look at him in action:
Can’t get enough Vincent? Check out the new documentary “Vincent: A Life in Color” to get your bright-suit-spinning fix. (Warning: You might be surprised how heartwarming this film looks.)

If you’re a carb-counter, instead of slurping your noodles why don’t you just learn how to knit with them? And if you start now you’ll have a luxurious noodle scarf just in time for winter. Delicious and practical.
