I hate heights. I could never do this but I'm always surprised at how many people will do bungee jumping or the Sky Jump free fall from the top of Las Vegas' Stratosphere.

Just when you thought the roller coaster on the top of the Las Vegas hotel, Stratosphere was scary, now you can be dangled repeatedly over the side on their new ride, Insanity! No thanks, I like to keep my heart rate below heart attack levels and I like to keep my undigested food inside my stomach.

I can't tell you anything about this test, just see how you do.

I'm not sure if you want Americans to think that if they go to your country they can have anonymous sex with your women but that's just what this viral ad from Denmark implies. They've since retracted this ad and apologized but still, we're talking about them so I guess it worked?

If you're not familiar with Zappos, they're probably the biggest online seller of shoes and for good reason. They have great customer service and make everything including returns as easy as possible! Now that Amazon owns them, I'm not sure if anything will change, at least for a while.

US Weekly just released a new issue with exclusive pictures of Michael Jackson being burned on the set of a Pepsi commercial. I don't know about you but when it happened, I didn't think it was this severe. Michael's hair was burned right down to his skin probably causing at least 3rd degree burns. Imagine as a young man in the biggest time in your career and not only losing your hair forever but sustaining burns that would be painful for at least a year if not for the rest of your life. If that wouldn't be mentally damaging for a normal civilian, what about the most famous performer of the time? After seeing the pictures, I have a new understanding and incredible sorrow for the late singer's plight.

I'm not sure if this is really Steve Martin's business card but if it is it's pretty funny. (source - Neatorama)

A Rotterdam bus advertisement for a gym that shows off your weight is hilariously awesome but they would need a truck scale for here in the US. (source - TechEBlog)
