Tutorial: How to Make A Baboon Lead You To Water

by John P.

I pulled this one straight out of the extremely interesting but completely useless information repository.

Here we have an African man in the Kalahari desert who is hunting, or on vacation, or whatever! It’s not important!

I know someone is going to tell me, “It’s not a monkey! It’s a baboon! Totally different animal!” …shut your trap!)

Now, at first I was hoping there was going to be some interrogation or Chinese water torture, or something! But I guess he was all out of electricity, truth serum, and Nazis. Still… the giant ant hill was a nice touch.

Dumbest Idea Ever? Massive Water Park in Arizona Desert

WaveYard is the name of a new water based community / playland which, of course, is to be located… in the desert. Yep. Some geniuses were sitting around, possibly enjoying some hashish, when one said something like “Hey dude. I’ve got an idea… Let’s build the biggest water mega-park the world has ever seen! Oh, [...]

Kid Wheelie’s Dune Buggy

January 29, 2008

Ok. The first time I took a look at this I thought it was insane. Who in their right mind would let a kid take a high powered dune buggy and drive it flat out like a maniac? I mean, for God’s sake the guy has to put a couple of massive blocks of foam [...]

Deep in the heart of the California desert lies one of the natural world’s most puzzling mysteries: the moving rocks of Death Valley. These are not ordinary moving rocks that tumble down mountainsides in avalanches, are carried along riverbeds by flowing water, or are tossed aside by animals.
