Jumping the Great Wall of China

I would have never thought China would let some one jump the Great Wall, but apparently Danny Way did, and quite well. Danny completed the private event jump in 2005 five(5) times in front of a thousand Chinese officials.

One thing of note, Wang Jiaxiong attempted the feat two years ago on a bike and fell to his death. Props to Mr. Way.

Lolcats are awesome

Can you bowl backwards ?

This guy sure can! He sure thought of it, and then perfected bowling backwards. Spin and everything!

I love the reaction of the guy sitting in the chair. You'll know what I mean if you watch the video! Do it now :)

Monkey + Pigeon = Love

This little monkey was abandoned by it's mother but now found new life with the white pigeon.




" They're an odd couple in every sense but a monkey and a pigeon have become inseparable at an animal sanctuary in China.

The 12-week-old macaque - who was abandoned by his mother - was close to death when it was rescued on Neilingding Island, in Goangdong Province.

After being taken to an animal hospital his health began to improve but he seemed spiritless - until he developed a friendship with a white pigeon."

Hedgehog Babies and a Cleaning Brush for a Mom

So cute and sad at the same time! Poor small orphaned hedgehogs think this brush is their mom! It seems the mom got smushed by a truck. doh. Fortunately for the kids, they found the brush which feels like their mom.

I wish I could get one, but they are illegal in CA :(







OH! and you have to watch this cute awesome hedgehog!

Paris Hilton Loses $60 Million Inheritance

HAHA! Finally. Props to grandpa for pulling the plug on her money. $60 Million! I'm sure she has some money from whoever paid her to model and for the amazing show 'The Simple Life.' oh poor Paris :(

"PARTY princess Paris Hilton is $60 million out of pocket after her billionaire grandfather - appalled by her jail term for drink-driving offences - axed her inheritance.

Family patriarch Barron Hilton was already embarrassed by his granddaughter's wild behaviour - notably when her home sex video was leaked on the internet.

But the 79-year-old considered her 23-day sentence last month the last straw.

"He was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris," says Jerry Oppenheimer, who wrote a biography of the clan called House Of Hilton.

"He now doesn't want to leave unearned wealth to his family."

Hilton senior, the only member of the family left with a sizeable stake in the huge hotel chain, has let it be known that he intends to donate to charity the $2.4bn he will gain from this month's sale of the company to private equity firm Blackstone.

The money will go to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the charity set up in the name of the founder of the family business."

Guinness World Record: tallest horse and shortest horse

From the tallest man and shortest man to the zorse, I now show you the tallest and smallest horses! These are official Guinness World Records for these horses.

Some stats:
Radar, Tallest Living Horse, is 6feet 6inches tall. Radar is a Belgian draft horse.
Thumbelina, Smallest Living Horse, is 17.5 inches tall. Thumbelina is a miniature sorrel brown mare.

I want a mini horse! Has anyone see the MTV show 'Rob and Big'? They had an episode where they went to a miniature horse farm and bought one for their house. Yeah, it was pretty sweet.


great picture

wtf?! zorse? hebra? zebra horse hybrid!

What the ...? Identity crisis. Is it a horse or a zebra?! Both! Zorse. I can't believe that's an actual term referenced in the article. By the way, this was an accident and not a science experiment according to article. I'm gonna have to see what other hybrid animals there have been.










From Yahoo/Reuters:
"Zorse 'Eclyse', a zebra-horse hybrid foal is pictured in the Safari park in Holte-Stukenbrock near the western German city of Bielefeld June 27, 2007. One-year-old Eclyse was accidentally produced when her mother a zebra, was taken from her German safari park home to a ranch in Italy for a brief time. Ecylse who was born in Italy, has stripes on her head and rear, while the body and her legs are white."
