VIRAL VIDEOS OF THE DAY - NAKED POLE VAULTING AND TENNIS RACKET CONTORTIONISM!!
As the economic crisis hits people from all walks of life, a French pole vaulting champion has done the obvious thing to highlight his quest for a new sponsorship deal - he ran naked through the streets of Paris, holding his pole aloft, and posted the video on the internet. Romain Mesnil, who won a silver medal at the 2007 Athletics World Championships in Osaka, used to be sponsored by Nike - but says his contract expired last year and was not renewed.In the video, Mesnil runs with his pole around well-known Parisian tourist spots like Montmartre and the Pont des Arts across the River Seine. Somewhat disappointingly, a black censor bar has been added to cover up his rude bits. (This makes it hard to verify that he was, in fact, truly naked. 'It was probably for budgetary and strategic reasons. It's the crisis,' he wrote on his website.
LET'S JUST HOPE HIS NAKED POLE VAULTING DOESN'T GO AS WRONG AS THESE..
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS FOR TWISTING & TURNING...THIS GUY SHOULD THINK ABOUT A CAREER AS A CONTORTIONIST!

RHIANNAS CONTROVERSIAL GUN TATTOOS
Given her recent domestic assault, one might think Rihanna would be the last person who'd want to glamourise violence. But the 21-year-old made the unusual decision to have a handgun tattooed on her body this week. The singer, who has often been seen wearing a miniature gun pendant necklace, had the weapon etched across her ribcage.
She visited Los Angeles based tattoo artist BangBang, who initially drew two guns on either side of the tops of her arms. But the singer decided against having the weapons inked on in such a prominent position because of her contract with make-up brand Cover Girl. BangBang wrote on his website: 'I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]… She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much… and they pay the bills!' He continued: 'Ended up doing it on her ribs.' Rihanna already has many other tattoos, including a collection of stars plunging down her back, a music note on her ankle and a Pisces sign behind her right ear. She also has a star inside her left ear, a Sanskrit prayer going down the hip, the word Shhh... down her index finger, and a tribal pattern on her right hand.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PHONE RINGS?
Twenty-two college students from California have managed to recreate a famous feat that their predecessors achieved 50 years ago - they crammed into a phonebox. Teams from St. Mary's College of California competed to fit as many bodies as possible into a phone booth on Wednesday, a half-century after Life magazine published a now-famous photograph of 22 St. Mary's students in a phonebox. Phonebox-stuffing was a popular college activity in the 1950s. St. Mary's students matched the number in the 1959 image, though they failed to break the campus record of 24 set in 1984. College officials say a South African team set the world record of 25 in 1958.

Havoc was caused last week in San Diego when a drug dealer who was being chased by a cop car on the high way decided to get rid of all the evidence of his drug business by throwing it out the window.

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - FR. NEIL "AM-I-OFF-MY-GAME" HORAN
WELL IS HE OFF HIS GAME? YOU BE THE JUDGE...
Cornelius "Neil" Horan, sometimes referred to as The Grand Prix Priest or The Dancing Priest (born April 22, 1947), is a defrocked Irish Roman Catholic clergyman who is noted for disrupting sporting events by means of publicity stunts. He interfered with the running of the 2003 British Grand Prix and the 2004 Summer Olympics men's marathon in order to promote his religious belief that the end of the World is near. He continues to demonstrate in public and in summer 2006 Horan was seen dancing about waving placards in London...
LUNATIC ON THE TRACK AT SILVERSTONE...WHO COULD IT BE???
AND AT THE OLYMPICS...
A NATIONAL DISGRACE????
Horan became more interested in prophecy, and published an electronic book entitled A Glorious New World Very Soon to Come, that predicted the end of the world, and an electronic booklet along similar lines entitled A Glorious New World. Other works include Christ Will Soon Take Power From All Governments. According to Horan, in the Second Coming of Christ, Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem and there will be two classes of people, immortal saints, who will rule a world government for a millennium from the religious city, and mortal citizens who will become "adopted Jews" and live for 900 years.
He was ordered by his superiors in the Church to have psychiatric treatment, in Killarney and in Harley Street. He was later sacked for using his sermons to "advance his sensationalist views"; he would later describe himself as a "Roman Catholic priest on sabbatical".

SCHOOL PROJECT THATS OUT OF THIS WORLD...LITERALLY!
Spanish teenagers armed with only a €70 camera and latex balloon have managed to take stunning pictures of space from 20-miles above Earth.
Proving that you don't need Google's billions or the some major weather centre's resources, the four Spanish students managed to send a camera-operated weather balloon into the stratosphere. Taking atmospheric readings and photographs 20 miles above the ground, the Meteotek team of IES La Bisbal school in Catalonia completed their incredible experiment at the end of February this year. Building the electronic sensor components from scratch, Gerard Marull Paretas, Sergi Saballs Vila, Marta Gasull Morcillo and Jaume Puigmiquel Casamort managed to send their heavy duty €50 latex balloon to the edge of space and take readings of its ascent. Created by the four students under the guidance of teacher Jordi Fanals Oriol, the budding scientists, all aged 18-19, followed the progress of their balloon using high tech sensors communicating with Google Earth. Team leader Gerard Marull, 18, said: "We were overwhelmed at our results, especially the photographs, to send our handmade craft to the edge of space is incredible." Completing their landmark experiment on February, the Meteotek team had to account for a wide variety of variables and rely on a lot of luck. "The balloon we chose was inflated with helium to just over two metres and weighed just 1500 grams," said Gerard. "It was able to carry the sensor equipment and digital Nikon camera which weighed 1.5kg. "However, when we launched at 9.10am on that morning the critical point for the experiment was to see if the balloon would make it past 10,000m, or 30,000ft, which is the altitude that commercial airliners fly at." Due to the changing atmospheric pressures, the helium weather balloon carrying the meteorological equipment was expected to inflate to a maximum of nine and a half metres as it travelled upwards at 270 metres-per-minute. "We took readings as the balloon rose and mapped its progress using Google Earth and the onboard radio receiver," said Gerard. "At over 100,000ft the balloon lost its inflation and the equipment was returned to the earth. "We travelled 10km to find the sensors and photographic card, which was still emitting its signal, even though it had been exposed to the most extreme conditions."

OH MI GOD CHECK OUT THIS SPEWING GIANT
An undersea volcano has erupted off the coast of Tonga shooting clouds of smoke, steam and ash thousands of feet into the sky above the South Pacific ocean. Spectacular columns spewed out of the sea about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the southwest coast off the main island of Tongatapu - an area where up to 36 undersea volcanoes are clustered, said Tonga's geological service head, Keleti Mafi. "It's a very significant eruption, on quite a large scale," he said. There was no sign the offshore eruption posed any danger to residents, he said, with trade winds blowing gas and steam away from the island. It was likely the underwater eruption was taking place to the west of the low-lying twin volcanic islands of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai, within sight of Nuku'alofa. Large amounts of pumice thrown up by the erupting volcano would likely clog beaches on the southern coast of nearby Fiji islands within a short time, he said. Tonga, a 170-island archipelago about halfway between Australia and Tahiti, is part of the Pacific "ring of fire" - an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones stretching from Chile in South America through Alaska and down through Vanuatu to Tonga.

WIN TICKETS TO SPECIAL GATE CINEMA MALLOW SCREENING NEXT MONDAY ON SHOW TODAY THURSDAY AND TOMORROW FRIDAY...
"The Boat That Rocked" is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock -- a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation

WOOPS...P.45 TIME!
Sandyford Co. Dublin - around 11am - 10th March 2009
Guy from the valeting company (Des Cullen’s) was bringing this dream car back after a little drive around Sandyford.
Showing off to mates or passers-by - he revved the car hard - it hit 4000 rpm and shot him across the road head first into the 307.
Good News … nobody was seriously injured.
Bad News … Des Cullen’s man wasn’t supposed to take any car out of the valeting premises … so it’s not insured.
Worse News … It was up on ‘Carzone’ to be sold at 110k … could be still there if you want to check the link!!!!

RIOT AT AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL AUDITIONS
Pandemonium erupted outside of an "America's Next Top Model" casting call at CW Studios in midtown Saturday when an overheating car triggered a stampede of catwalk-craving cuties. Screaming as they ran for their lives, hundreds of hotties in heels toppled over barricades along W. 55th St. after several people in the crowd started yelling, "There's a bomb!"
FULL STORY HERE
Three people were arrested and six others hurt after bedlam broke out in an audition queue for TV show "America's Next Top Model". Police said they didn't know what prompted the chaos, involving hundreds of people outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing, according to news reports. "It was pretty scary," Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting in line overnight, hoping for a shot at stardom on the reality show. Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn't properly organised.

MEN IN TIGHTS? SAY IT AIN'T SO...
For years, wearing the clothes of the opposite sex was a one-way street. Girls could wear trousers and shirts but boys couldn't wear dresses, blouses and stockings – not without a lot of funny looks, anyway. But those days are over, according to male pantyhose supremo Harisnya, who goes by one name only. Mantyhose – what else? – follow hot on the heels of other popular fashion accessories such as guyliner, manbags and manzieres (bras for big boys). 'I like to wear pantyhose – just like many other men – because I like the soft material, the support it gives to my legs and body, and because I find it very practical,' added London-based Harisnya. 'Male pantyhose can be worn for health, sports and fashion. So we aim to show that pantyhose could be a regular clothing item for men.' Not since the days when fictional merry of men pranced around Sherwood Forest, stealing from the rich, have tights been so popular among red-blooded males, according to Harisnya. His website, e-MANcipate.net, is packed with tips with one discussion topic named: 'Is pink pantyhose too femmy for men?' (ANSWER BY THE WAY IS YES) Harisnya said: 'We estimate one in five men has worn some kind of pantyhose in his life and would try it again under right circumstances.' So men – you know who you are – wear your tights with pride.
MAN HAS ILLICIT AFFAIR WITH LIONESS
OH NO WE'VE BEEN RUMBLED DARLING...(WELL THAT'S WHAT THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR FACES LOOKS LIKE, NO?)
A good way of cooling off from the intense heat of South Africa is to take a dip in a river - but how about having a lioness as your bathing buddy? Most people would swim off pretty fast but for Kevin Richardson it's just another day at The Kingdom Of The White Lion reserve with big cat Meg.
The zoologist said: "Meg takes no coaxing to get her to swim. She gets like an excited dog going for a ride in a car. "People are always amazed that she doesn't rip me to pieces. Every now and again I get a claw going into me, but it's unintentional and just reconfirms to me how gentle she tries to be."

CHECK OUT THESE TYRES!!!
These tyres are allegedly made in South Carolina , USA . SEE THROUGH TYRES. CAN YOU FECKIN' BELIEVE IT! Radical new tyre design by Michelin. The next generation of tyres. Supposedly they had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.
Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part of the tyre from the outside tread 'wrap!' The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion....
These tyres are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these.
Just think of the impact on existing technology:
A. no more air valves...
B. no more air compressors at gas stations...
C. no more repair kits...
D. no more flats...
These are, at least so we are told, actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - CRAZY DANCING TRUCK DRIVER
The driver - who apparently works all over Europe and the UK - handed the recording to a TV station and You Tube after filming his antics for friends. As he cranks up the volume on a folk song, the trucker starts thrashing around the cab, waving both hands with barely a glance at the road ahead. Then he unfastens his seat belt so he can gyrate around the driver's seat, before moving over to the passenger footwell to dance away from the control pedals and steering wheel. At one point, he even steers with his feet, showing off for the camera as he drives terrifying close to other trucks and cars. He says: "I was just bored, this wasn't anything special. We all do this - we sing, while we're driving." Copies of the tape are now being viewed by traffic poilce officers throughout Europe as they try to track down the driver. He claims the performance was shot by his brother as they drove from Holland to Belgium. Others believe the dance might have been recorded in France. Romanian police want to interview the trucker after he appeared on a local You've Been Framed-style television show. "He doesn't seem to be driving in Romania so what we can do is limited but we certainly want to talk to him," said a senior officer.
DISPUTE BETWEEN NEIGHBOURS - TRUE STORY!
A town councillor in Wales, Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the mountains, until a new neighbour purchased the land below his house and built a new home. The new home was 18 inches higher than the planning dept had approved, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the local authority to make sure they enforced the roof line height. The new neighbour had to drop the roof height, at great expense. Recently, Mark Easton called the planning dept, and informed them that his new neighbour had installed some vents on the side of his new property. Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the planning dept to investigate.
When they went to Mark's home to see what the vents looked like, this is what they found...
The Local Authority said the vents can stay since there is no planning law referring to shutter design!

THE WORLD'S UGLIEST CATS
This is Ugly, the aptly named cat who might just be the ugliest in the world. But can the ugliest cat compete with the ugliest dogs?
For example, there's Elwood, a two-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix who was crowned the world's ugliest dog in 2007 - much to the delight of his owner. 'The breeder was going to put him down him because she thought he was too ugly to sell. Now Elwood's all over the internet and people love him and adore him,' said Karen Quigley, Elwood's owner.
Or there's Gus, a hairless Chinese crested dog and another former winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest, who sadly succumbed to cancer after a long battle last November.
And proudly representing our neighbours in Britain, we have Hubble, branded Britain's ugliest dog, who was abandoned in a wood but rescued and cared for by the Leeds Dogs Trust.
Or what about this freaky speciman (sorry speci-dog) unknown, unnamed and possibly even unloved (ahh actually we hope not). Ugly mystery dog we salute you!
