You guys know we don’t normally post cheesecake just for the sake of it, but someone sent me this photo earlier (without a source, unfortunately, so let me know if you have a link) and, I mean, come on. Bow-hunting amazons will always get a free pass.

“Our research, which used the minimum leg-muscle mass T-rex required for movement, suggests that while not incredibly fast, this carnivore was certainly capable of running and would have little difficulty in chasing down footballer David Beckham, for instance,” said Phil Manning, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester, who worked on the study.
Mr. Manning (who [...]

Now it’s time for your daily dose of disgust at the habits of the rich and disconnected: Upper class twats are now spending upwards of $600 a night to participate in “luxury camping” retreats.
The Bondicks, who live in a sprawling home on the edge of a state park outside Boston and hire a personal chef [...]

I don’t think you can embed MyspaceTV videos (which is dumb), so have a link to this send-up of TV’s favorite fake survivalist, Bear Grylls, as he braves the wilds of West Hollywood. It was sort of goofy until he starts getting hungry. Then it just gets horrible. [Vids.myspace.com]

You know that when the gavel falls and they send you up the river, you’ll be a “new fish” dumped into a pool of bloodthirsty piranhas. The first time you walk down the tier to your cell, praying for God to give your trembling knees the energy to keep pushing forward, you’ll hear the hoots [...]

So it’s pretty obvious that Man vs. Wild is almost completely staged at this point, but this video is still worth it if only for the first worthwhile Youtube comment I’ve ever read:
What is not shown in this film is Les Stroud forming the island with his mighty hands. That large crevice in the earth [...]

When I was a kid, I never understood what they meant when they’d say “the bridge washed out.” I mean, I’d played on (and under) those bridges tons of times, and they were sturdy things of concrete and steel. Now it sort of makes sense.
I don’t know what I love more: the awesome spectacle of [...]

I am slightly disappointed by Grant Stoddard’s piece in New York detailing his survival adventure on Ruffle Bar island in Brooklyn’s Jamaica Bay. Turns out a couple of books and a pair of Vans don’t make the best survival gear, especially when a tropical depression comes bearing down. But I remain captivated by the idea [...]
