The world's fastest cars already exist at 763 mhp and counting! But that doesn't mean that just anyone can buy them! The world's fastest cars are not on the market for anyone, not even millionaires, because there's just no place to drive them anyway!
At those speeds I guess it's no wonder that they all look like rockets or other space-bound wonders.
This thrill-seeking surfer was but a speck on this enormous wall of water as he appeared to set a new world record for the biggest wave ever ridden. Surfing legend Garrett McNamara caught the towering wave - believed to have measured around 100ft - off the coast of Nazare, in Portugal, yesterday. If the claims are verified the U.S. born athlete will have successfully beaten his own record, which was also set at Nazare, when he successfully rode a 78ft high break at the end of 2011.

First Ms. Foster and now Dick Van Dyke get a boost into the lifetime award category. Now that's one really awesome IMDB profile!
The dancer/actor/singer truly did deserve the award, with his amazing history and talents. The 87 year old is best known for his hit 1960's TV show, "The Dick Van Dyke Show." (By the way, isn't his name kind of an oxymoron?!)

It doesn't matter what you do, Dick, it's awesome.

They say that riding a plane is so many times safer than driving your car to work. Well, not according to these recent pics. Looks like not only the boughs in first class had a drink too many this time, if you know what I mean.

The possibility on a reform on immigration is giving immigrants in the US have a new ray of hope.
CNN reports, "Millions of undocumented immigrants would get immediate but provisional status to live and work in America under a compromise plan proposed Monday by a bipartisan group of eight senators. While temporarily removing legal uncertainty for the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants, the senators' outline also called for strengthening border controls, improved monitoring of visitors and cracking down on hiring undocumented workers."
"They would no longer be deported, provided they don't have a criminal record. They would no longer be harassed, they would be allowed to stay here and work," said Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York in describing the immediate impact of the framework if crafted into legislation and enacted.

Photographer Kerry Skarbakka has created some seriously mind blowing self-portraits in which he appears to be falling. Of course, he's not actually puttig himself in life-threatening situations, as he is using safety riggs, but the process is pretty freightening nonetheless.
The images stand as ominous messages and reminders that we are all vulnerable to losing our footing and grasp. Moreover, they convey the primal qualities of the human condition as a precarious balancing act between the struggle against our desire to survive and our fantasy to transcend our humanness."
These iPhone accessories are just getting too weird. I've got to admit, I kind of love the brick phone one, though. ;)
