Ok, I’ve seen a lot of stupid crap, but this one might just take the cake.

Suppose you find yourself living in a desert, and you happen across a perfectly good bombed out car with no engine, or doors, or hood… and you want to get it home! What do you do? Simple! Load it on a camel’s back and make it carry the junker up to the top of the hill where you have your hovel!

I’m just speechless. Seriously though, doesn’t it look like the camel is about to go down?

I don’t care if you’re a card carrying member of PETA, this is funny…

By the way, couldn’t they have let the camel lay down before they tied his leg up? Geesh… give the poor guy a break!

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, and we’ll do it in the desert!”

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 in the seat just so the kid can sit there!

But then again, when you watch what this kid can do with that dune buggy I suppose it might not be that crazy after all. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t hop in and do this.

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.

These rocks, some as heavy as 700 pounds, are inexplicably transported across a virtually flat desert plain, leaving erratic trails in the hard mud behind them, some hundreds of yards long.

They move by some mysterious force, and in the nine decades since we have known about them, no one has ever seen them move.
