Links and comments from some drunken crackers in Bloomsburg, PA with the help of weirdos from all over the world.

Attention!! Snowboarding may no longer be considered an "extreme" sport now that "lava sledding" has been revived. They don't sled on molten lava mind you...but somehow skidding across solid rock on a wooden sled at 50 miles per hour is a bit nuts!

Traditionally, he'e holua served both as a sport and as a vehicle for native Hawaiians to honor their gods, especially Pele, the goddess of fire. After reaching the top of a slope, Hawaiians would stand up, lie down, or kneel atop hardwood sleds -- often carved from Kauila or Ohia and measuring 12 feet long by 6 inches wide -- and speed down the man-made courses of hardened lava rocks sprinkled with grass.

But missionaries who brought Christianity to Hawaii saw the sport as "a frivolous waste of time," Stone said, and its practice ended in 1825, when the last he'e holua racing event was documented.


Stone says there's only about a dozen regular riders and he's unaware of any "serious" injuries. I guess this really is a sport for guys like him who don't consider the time that he broke his neck "serious"!!

One of the best office weapons I've ever seen...a laser sighted pencil gun is detailed over at Office Guns.

Nice chart generator based on the "Petarded" episode of "The Family Guy"...amusing for about 8 seconds but nifty anywho!

Sugarcrash is probably the weirdest "breakout" style game I've seen in quite some time. No real way to explain it, you just gotta play it!

Technology marches onward with the potato-powered web server which brings Ireland and Idaho their big chance to capitalize on their natural resources in the Information Age!

If you ever need to deal with any Japanese on a business level, make an effort to check out the videos and information at How to Bow...it is VERY well done. As "gaijin" (non-Japanese) you will not be expected to execute these maneuvers perfectly but knowing even a few rudimentary things will boost their acceptance of you highly.

If nothing else, go there and click the link at the top of the page that says "How to Drink" (it's Flash so I can't hotlink) as I can personally attest that it is VERY true...even when working for a company owned by the Japanese here in America. It was NOTHING for four or five of use to rack up a $400 tab at the one local establishment drinking exotic beers and liquors when entertaining visitors...and then the REAL drinking began!

The first thing that will annoy you about Chaos Theory is that game and all it's instructions are in Japanese which you probably can't read. The second thing that will annoy you is how much time you spend playing it once you figure it out.

It's terribly simple...when you start the game a bunch of blue balls begin flying up the screen where they decelerate and fall back down. Eventually 50 of them will make this trip and you're job is to destroy as many of them as you can with ONE click...but your click creates a large explosion and each blue ball that it touches creates another such explosion and so on...so you're simply trying to create a chain reaction. Heh, heh! Easy to learn and it will consume your tiny brain! My high so far is 128...can you do better?!

Got an SUV that you never take off-road but wanna impress the guys at the office? Then Spray On Mud is just the ticket!

This wouldn't be quite as disturbing if it were a joke...unfortunately this is actually a real product. I'd say "only in America" but the prices on the site are in British pounds...
