At approximately 6:30 on bright and sunny morning, adrenaline junkie Jonathan Trappe attached 55 balloons filled with helium to a steel cased office chair and soared to nearly 15,000 feet. It became his dream to break free from his desk and take to the skies after watching the movie UP. He managed to reach a height of some 14,783 feet while sitting in an office chair. He had to obtain an FAA license to fly helium balloons. Mr. Trappe rose in the sky at a rate of 521 feet per minute. Now, after the flight he still sits in the same chair at work. And you thought you had big cojones.

It seems that people will never learn that driving drunk is not that a good idea.
The driver of this truck was drunk and run over a Mercedes with a couple in it. But not only they survived, they only got a few bruises.

These are little copies of real weapons. Looking very good :)
In January, the Day of St. Anthony is traditionally celebrated in Italy. A spectacular show - jumping over the fire on a horse - is arranged in honor of this holiday.
It's really very beautiful, take a look.
Just how does one sister manage to get so tan while the other is so white? Do they run in completely separate social circles? Perhaps Justine doesn’t have a job and can’t afford the dues at the tanning booth. Maybe they are exact opposites and Justine’s sister likes the outdoors while Justine is an indoor girl. Perhaps it is a fake tan and Justine feels it is unethical to wear something fake. In any event it seems to be another mystery in life that may go on forever and will never be answered. Does it really matter? They are both beautiful girls, tan or not.
The ice covers 10 percent of the surface of the Earth and plays a key role in the entire ecosystem of the planet.
It exists on all continents except Australia.

Recently we have posted an entry: Dance for the Prince (6 pics), with colorful dancers, performing for the Prince their traditional Maori battle dance - Haka.
Naturally, photoshoppeurs could not pass by these vivid characters and made the cool photomontage you'll see after the jump.
It is not that surprising nowadays, everything is possible.
Well, long live newlyweds!

If you haven’t seen our previous post about the girl showing off her tongue on each photo, then take a look at it.
This time it’s pretty much the same but with a guy and not a pretty girl..
It’s even more ridiculous!

Only ‘big bills’ from different countries. Some are rather unique!
The Sky Bridge is located in the Langkawi archipelago in Malaysia. It is a cable-stayed bridge that rises 700 meters above sea level and spans over 125 meters in length and 1,8 meters in width. It is supported by only one support column.
The bridge offers an amazing view over the island.
