The Ghost Riding Phenomenon

09/03/09 - Ridiculous

The mixture of automatic trannies and low cost beaters ruling the road in America has lead to a rise in a new car lover phenomenon: Ghost Riding… Ghost Riding (or Ghost Riding The Whip) is a new trick whereby you put the car in drive, jump out, roll around the hood and climb from the front end to the rear by way of the rooftop. It’s not TOO dangerous since a car in drive generally doesn’t get above about 25 MPH. But, as we will see, plenty can go wrong. Like most stupid things, you have to try it once to understand its appeal. And of course, these days, YouTube is filled with examples of the hobbyists who are taking up the sport and trying to drive it to the next level: professional competition. Let’s have a look at some of the pioneers of this budding new pastime and see if we can spot some of the AMOG amateurs ready to go Pro.” w/ videos

World Snorkeling Championships 2009

09/01/09 - Ridiculous

“Bog snorkeling is a strange sport. Competitors flipper as fast as possible through 120 yards of peat bog. A trench is cut through the bog to clear a path. Competitors wear snorkels and flippers and are not allowed to use conventional swimming strokes. Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales is the center of the bog snorkeling world. The sport of bog snorkelling was invented in Llanwrtyd Wells in 1976. Gordon Green is credited with the idea for a bog snorkeling challenge. The World Championships now attract more than 200 hundred entrants.” w/ photos

Man Uses Live Mortars As Dumbells

08/28/09 - Ridiculous

A man from China decided to keep fit using two old mortars before a friend noticed the devices were still live. Former army officer Xie Long, 87, said: “A colleague told me they were defused and because they were heavy and in the right shape I took two home to use as dumbbells. “Even my two sons used to use them as well for training. I can’t believe we trained with them for 30 years with nothing happening.” The mortars were discovered by chance when a friend from the local police force who also specialized in explosives visited Long at his home in the Hechuan district of Chongqing.” w/ photo

51 Operations To Look Like Queen Nefertiti

08/22/09 - Ridiculous

Her transformation began more than 20 years ago after she decided that in a past life she had lived as Queen Nefertiti. During that time Nileen Namita has spent $200,000 on her face in order to turn herself into a living sculpture of the ancient Egyptian. The mother of three has had 51 cosmetic surgery operations – including eight nose jobs, three chin implants, one eyebrow lift, three facelifts, six mini facelifts, two lip surgeries, five eye surgeries and 20 minor tweaks – in her efforts to recreate herself in the image of the ‘Beauty of the Nile’. Miss Namita, a 49-year-old artist from Brighton, says her quest for perfection isn’t over yet and plans further surgery, describing her face as a ‘work in progress’. She began her transformation in 1987 after deciding that in a past life she had lived as Nefertiti. She said: ‘Throughout my childhood and teen years I had constant vivid dreams of this ancient queen.” w/ photos
