Robbie Maddison’s 322 ft, world record jump on ESPN
September 7, 2008
Video: YouTube
As a child I was a huge fan of Evel Knievel and his exploits. He was an amazing guy who went for his goals no matter what the risk to life and limb.
Robbie Maddison seems to opitimize the same ideals as Evel Knievel had all those years ago, I have to wonder though how much further Evel would have jumped these days given the improvements in the new bikes.
This is an awesome jump by Robbie and he really sticks the landing as well.

Conspiracy theories? (who knows what really happened).
I’m just going to put this video on and let you all make up your own mind as to what really happened on September 11, 2001.

This must be about the most expensive bath ever, seems this guy lost his job after management found out about his little episode.
Ingesting Magic Mushrooms has Long Lasting Positive Effects…
July 21, 2008
Video: YouTube
No wonder they’re illegal… “spiritual significants and sustained positive changes in behavior”.
But the presenter talks about Timothy Leary allegedly claiming, that Timothy used the phrase, with regards to his own experiences, as a “mushroom induced psychotic trip”… somehow I don’t see Leary expressing his experience as a “mushroom induced psychotic trip”.
As for her “Hippie dippie 60s” jibe… a presenter who can’t get her facts straight and was not even alive in the 60s or 70s, and who’s probably basing her evaluation, on a series of presenters before her, who have gone sooo far from reporting the news, to rather producing the ‘news’ (ala Bill O’reilly’s FOX ‘news’)… that they, like Bill, have absolutely no creditability as far as I, and many others are concerned.
See two can play that game, actually she is just a presenter… she’s not responsible for the script, she probably doesn’t even know any better, but those behind the scenes probably know which side their bread’s buttered, and most likely have little or no conscience, which allows them to willingly, not only sell out themselves, but everyone else for their 30 pieces of silver… it’s amazing what Murdoch can buy for small change eh?

Just a wild guess here… a natural substance (drug which can’t be patented) which helps rid people of their addiction to Heroin, Cocaine and Alcohol, tested and proven 10 years ago. What do you think the likelihood of this being extensively used, bearing in mind the tax on alcohol and the amount of money from the illicit drug trade finding it’s way in to the banks (estimated at about 1/2 trillion a pa) 0?

First images and video have recently been provided of the Phoenix Mars landing. The Phoenix made a successful arrival on Mars Sunday evening, May 25.
The NASA spacecraft Phoenix landed in the Northern Polar Region of Mars and will begin three months examining a site and it’s likelihood of having frozen water.
The above video shows a pan by the spacecraft’s video device looking out across the Martian Polar Plains.

Man barricaded in No mans land

We previously stated in an earlier post that the Island of No Mans Land Fort was for sale for 20 Million Dollars. We have now learnt that this is not the asking price.
The story as related by BBC news is that the Island is up for sale by creditors KPMG, due to the fact that the company who owns the island is in receivership.
The asking price for the island is a mere 4 Million Pounds or approximately 7.85 Million US Dollars.
In an even more amazing twist for the historical island, the previous owner, property developer Harmesh Pooni has recently barricaded himself on the island and refused to allow anyone to land by boat or helicopter.
“In a statement, a KPMG spokeswoman, said: “Mr Pooni has never been the freeholder of No Man’s Land Fort but was a director of Bob’s Leisure Limited a company, which was the registered freeholder of the fort, having purchased it using monies borrowed from Lexi Holdings Plc.”
“Bob’s Leisure Limited went into administration on 26 October 2004 and Mr Pooni was made bankrupt on 23 January 2006.
“Lexi Holdings Plc were left as a creditor of Bob’s Leisure Limited as the loan had not been repaid.
“It is our view that Mr Pooni is trespassing on the fort.”
“Mr Pooni said he came out of bankruptcy in November 2006 and Bob’s Leisure Limited was “reconstituted” in December 2007.
He claims he has a legal right to benefit from the proceeds of the sale of the fort
The battle is now set to move from the high seas to the High Court as it is the subject of possession proceedings, which were transferred there on 5 March.”
