The World’s Craziest Ski-Jumps

Looking for some thrills this winter? Ever considered ski-jumping? Before you do, you’d better take a look at our ski-jumping guide. Then you can decide for yourself whether you really want to take part or would rather watch the professionals show you how it’s done.

Lake Placid ski-jump, USA

Lake Placid in New York hosted the Winter Olympics in 1980. Its ski-jump looks more than a little out-of-place set against a backdrop of pine forests and mountains and the view from the top affords the jumper a panoramic appreciation of the surrounding countryside – though we reckon the view would be the last thing on your mind once you’re up that high a preparing to jump.

Make That Phone Ring

A date is really the stuff that dreams are made of. Really, it's where couples connect and realize that they want nothing more in life than to spend it with them. After the magical date, a woman hopes that he will call as soon as he possibly can. This is really where the tension starts to run high, and the woman finds herself staring at her phone incessantly, praying for it to ring. It's be long debated on how to get the man to call the woman back, and since it's obviously a matter of the first impression, there will need to be careful attention to how they may come off.

10 Most Wanted Video Games of 2010

Officially bigger than the drugs and prostitution industries combined, yet held in lower regard than either by society at large, what will 2010 hold for the video games industry?

I haven’t got an answer to that. I just thought it was a nice intro. What I do have, however, is the top 10 most wanted video games of next year (in order of most wantedness)…

10. Alan Wake
Format: Xbox 360
Release date: Late March
Alan Wake puts players in control of a writer with a penchant for suit jacket/hoodie combos and torches (that’s flashlights for the US readers out there) who finds himself embroiled in a supernatural mystery that follows the plot of a novel that he cannot remember writing.

Incredible clifftop communities around the world

Incredible clifftop communities around the world

Those a with a fear of heights take note: peering over the edge of this historic Spanish bridge may leave you feeling weak at the knees. The clifftop town of Ronda lies in the Spanish province of Malaga and is divided by a 100-meter deep canyon known as 'El Tajo', separating the old town from the new. As a result, many of the buildings sit perilously on the edge of the abyss.

The precarious looking township of Bonifacio on the island of Corsica has developed over the years into a small marina for expensive yachts, but those with vertigo should steer clear… Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea at 230 ft high, this quaint town has over the years been molded into the white limestone cliffs, guaranteeing anyone visiting a room with a (steep) ocean view.

Elephant is rescued from the claws of death

A distressed call came through to Kenyan Wildlife Services. It was apparent that Mountain Bull, one of the oldest elephants on the preserve, had to die. He had lived for decades near Mount Kenya, but had absconded from his reserve home along with a posse of other male tuskers to pillage the crops in nearby village. The villagers were justifiably outraged because the elephants ate up their very livelihoods. Over the last two years, this had become a regular occurrence and the impoverished locals wanted the culprits tracked down and killed. Now it appeared as though Mountain Bull was going to be killed. The only thing that could have saved him would be a plea from researcher Douglas-Hamilton and his colleagues.

12 Creative Passport Covers

If you're anything like me, your passport is the one item guaranteed to be dog-eared no matter how new or old. Thankfully, there are people who design covers specifically to combat such wear and tear whilst also adding some style to the little book that deserves some pampering considering how important it is. Some are beautifully designed, some extremely durable, some quite hilarious.

Oh S@*t - Duck and Cover

From the designer that brought you Slip n Slide, another passport case which owes its design to the illustrated safety instructions handed out before take-off. Says the designer: 'Our homage to the asinine assumption that one might actually survive a water landing. Seat cushion as a flotation device? Yeah Ok'.

10 Radio Controlled Christmas Gift Ideas

Clip Source: www.zoombits.co.uk

When I was a child – admittedly that’s not just a couple of years ago – remotely controlled toys were very much an expensive luxury, and most Christmases, kids I knew were forced to begrudgingly settle for models which were controlled via a fun-sapping wire between transmitter and vehicle – a design feature which embarrassingly limited the radius of your ‘drive’ to a distance of a few feet, unless that is you were shameless and desperate enough to run after it as it moved. These days it’s very much a different landscape, and due to advances in technology and the lowering of prices, radio controlled toys are far more readily available – and not just cars anymore. Oh no. These days, all tastes are catered for.

eBooks Vs. Books: A publishing smackdown

There's a fight brewing this Christmas between the good old traditional book and the flashy newcomer: the eReader. The humble, low-tech book has been the heavyweight champ of the publishing arena for millennia, but technological advances have seen eReaders gain considerable ground over recent years, and products such as the Amazon Kindle, the Sony Reader and their ever-growing legion of competitors are poised to feature on many a must-have gadget list come the festive season.

Woman Gets Shocked In The Shower By An Unusual Audience

Showers are a surprisingly good source of comedy. In college dorms, you can always find a funny shower sign posted on the door, and after college you can find girls beating up guys in the shower. But this latest bit of shower comedy we found might be our favorite. The funny commercial posted above features an unsuspecting woman taking a shower…only to find out that she has some unusual company. And that company likes to cheer on her every move including a chant of “Loo-fah! Loo-fah! Loo-fah!” that’s our new favorite cheer.

Incredible lakes around the world

Incredible lakes around the world

Lakes have been the source of fascination for geologists, historians and general mankind for thousands of years. Coming in every shape, size, age, colour and depth you can imagine, they are natural wonders to behold and often the source of fear at what lurks beneath. With that in mind, we have scaled the globe and selected some of the most dramatic, breathtaking and potentially dangerous lakes you're ever likely to discover…

Mono Lake, California

The near-surreal environment of Mono Lake near the California-Nevada border has inspired artists and photographers for years. Its trademark 'tufa' towers (rock formations) give it a Dali-esque otherworldliness and it has even been described by Mark Twain as "the loneliest place on earth". Despite this, life prospers in the waters - providing a home for as many as 6 trillion brine shrimp - an important food source for migrating birds.

Do You Spend Too Much Time Online?

Do You Spend Too Much Time Online?

The Internet has made almost everything easier. It’s made it easier to play, easier to learn, and WAY easier to jack off. Unfortunately, it has also made it easier to do absolutely nothing with your time. Here are some common symptoms of someone who spends too much time online:

Bathroom Surfing

You value your precious Web surfing time so much that you can’t lose one precious second. You find yourself thankful for laptops, netbooks, and mobile phones with Web browsers that allow you to multitask shitting and surfing at the same time. Consequently, you also find yourself taking longer than normal dumps just so you can finish checking your updated RSS feeds. But please wash your hands. There’s enough crap on the Internet already.

Mountain Dew Clothes

You feel so strongly about your beverage choice that you just have to let the people know.
