Giant Stingray off China

Posted by admin in August 17th 2008  

At 2pm on August 3rd, what might be the largest stingray ever caught was wrangled in near Sanya Port Wharf  in Hainan, China by  Captain Wu. Weighing in at nearly a ton and a half, and about 8 meters in length, the stingray took almost 3 hours to pull in by fisherman with nets. The meat of the Giant stingray is an Asian delicacy, while rest of the stingray is valued for use in medicinal products. Giant Stingraygiant stingray cool amazing  Link

 As good as the video of the kite-boarder getting clipped by the jet. Still great clip to watch. I’m sure some insane person will try an authentic attempt at this soon. Also check out Glacier Surfing.

Unbelievable Bat-mobile

Posted by admin in August 6th 2008  

Bob Dullham built this amazingly cool replica of the Batman Darknight Tumbler by himself.

darknight tumbler replica-cool   

“Bob Dullam is just like any other gear head. After work, he likes to retire to his garage, tinkering and fabricating, just like any other guy. And, just like the rest of us (at least when we were 13), he wants to drive the Batmobile. Well, Bob, you seem to be doing a good job with that.” So far Bob has invested $50-70k on his labor of cool. He developed it from movie stills and other released prop photos. This ride comes complete with giant wheels and an afterburner. Keep an eye out, because it may be pancaking police cars on the news soon. Currently this ride is not for sale… unless he needs the cash for his next project  ”The Batpod, of course.”   …..Click here to read more

very cool rocket man  

On October 5th 2005, Visa Parviainen and the BirdMan Rocket Team achieved the first ever jet powered, birdman flight over Lahti, Finland.

 Underwater Mail box Bizarre JApan

There is no shortage of bizarre things in Japan. Off the coast of a small town in Wakayama prefecture, you can find an underwater mailbox - and it’s an actual collection point within Susami’s postal system. Each day the contents are collected from the box, presumably by a deep sea diving mailman, which reportedly contains as many as 200 pieces of mail at the busiest times.  Susami is over a hundred kilometres away from Osaka in a not very densely populated but highly mountainous part of Kinki, Japan.  …..Click here to read more
