The figure of eight is commonly used to attach a rope to a climbing harness. Being able to tie a figure of eight knot properly is an essential climbing skill. If the climbing rope is attached incorrectly to the harness, the consequences could be fatal.
Mark Burnett is, financially speaking, perhaps the most successful television producer today. While I had launched America's Most Wanted and COPS a decade earlier, Mark exploded onto network television with Survivor, the glossy and fantastical innovation to reality television. With Survivor now entering its 11th year, I recently interviewed Mark at the Los Angeles public radio station KCRW, where the podcast will be made available. Below, Mark's 10 steps from soldier-to-nanny-to-premiere-Holl...
The idea is to find the biggest hill you can with a massive jump at the end. Then bomb the hill, taking flight and landing in prickle bush. The bike can't have any breaks.
Last weekend we had a fun workshop (not the redstone workshop from yesterday) in which a bunch of people got together and built mountains! Well, small mountains, at least. The workshop was only an hour, after all.
Well, heres whatha do.First, you break out the good old shoping carts.Next, you find a hill, (the bigger the better!)Then you get a blindfold.Place the blindfold on your face, covering your eyes.Spin around at least 50 times.Then you try to RUN up the hill as fast as you can.Once you've made it to the top, jump into the shoping cart, (with blindfold still on) and have a friend push you down the hill backwords!Sounds Fun!
Back in 1962, a Zambian teacher vowed that his country would beat America as the first country to put a man on the moon, and then they would go on to Mars. Unfortunately, his dream never came to fruition. The Zambians worked hard though. His "astronauts" rolled down hills in barrels to get used to traveling through space. They practiced walking on their hands, as their leader - Edward Makuka Nkoloso - assured them that was the only way to get around on the moon. "My spacemen are ready, but we...

Nintendo is set to unveil its Wii-replacing Project Café and Konami will showcase its upcoming lineup, including new Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid games.

My friend started a minecraft world yesterday (The World in the Air, Seed -1784338777788894343) As anyone would do, he punched trees, then made a little "house" to wait out the night. As any minecrafter WOULDN'T do, he went outside. In the dark. At night. Luckily he wasn't full of holes by the time he went back inside his "house".
Calling all curious minds—scientists, anthropologists, relentless tourists: Saturday, April 9th, is International Obscura Day, the day to "explore hidden treasures in your hometown," or so says Atlas Obscura, a website dedicated to public curiosities and esoterica.

Think you're more green by going artificial? Think again. The New York Times reports that the most definitive study shows you would have to use your artificial tree for 20 years before it has less impact on the environment than a real tree.

Beginners don't realize that they don't need to clobber every groundhog that shows up. The best strategy is to isolate the first one someplace out of the way and just leave him there indefinitely. Only one can be on your property at a time.

Lawsuits among tech giants is a tale as old as time (or at least as old as the tech world). But one lawsuit between two tech giants appears to be heating up; Apple's lawsuit against Qualcomm is being met with a countersuit.
(We did not know about these, either...until we discovered these videos.) The fixed gear bike, also called a fixie, was designed for track racing in the velodrome. Working bike messengers brought them to the NYC, Tokyo, SF, London streets on account the cycles gave them far more control to maneuver the urban jungle. The Chinese acrobat peddling a bike with 18 contortionists wrapped around him, must have a fixie.
Okay so everyone remembers the classic video game donkey kong right? Well we basically do something along the lines of that. Have a larger person dressed up or painted to look like a gorilla standing at the top of a hill or path that is on a hill, and then have someone else running up the hill while the person dressed as a gorilla throws giant barrels down at them. As the barrels get to the person they have to try and jump over them while running up the hill.
You have a giant hill thats covered in rocks and a standard rolling office chair and you duct tape a jackass to the chair give them a helmet and push them down the hill. at the bottom of the hill is a ramp that leads into a foam pit.

Build a road of pilates down a hill, and snowboard, sled or run down it to see who gets to the bottom first. You are allowed to throw pilates at each other.
Have each jackass design their own 'Racecar' to race down a steep hill with. Let each homemade car have their own things to help them win. Weapons darts thumb tacks fireworks smoke bombs, etc. Play dirty and see who the winner is. The first one down gets a dollar, and the last one down has to attempt to french kiss Rick Kossick or Lance Bangs. Or another punishment for losing.
The Equipment The Jackass Crew climb inside a bunch of different human-size hamster balls, just like the Aussies use in zorbing.

Welcome to Minecraft World! Check out our advanced tutorials and come play on our free server. This past weekend, our Weekly Workshop focused on building a suffocation trap. But today, we're going to be covering a different type of redstone trap in Minecraft—one with a 100% success rate (perfect for PvP servers).
the point of this is to see who can get to the top the fastest or who ever lasts the longest well 3 people will be blind folded doesn't matter who and they will be at the bottom of a hill and then they will be blind folded and they roll wooden barrels down and see who wins or what happens.
Take one of the guys, tie him in the center of a really big metal hula hoop by his hands and feet, give him a helmet cam, then kick him in the balls and roll him down a big hill.
A first hands look at the first chapter of the game. "When the wife of best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his serach turns up pages from a thriller he doesn't remember writing. A dark presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls-"

Beware the Canning Mission! The Zynga Community Forum is full of complaints about the new Canning Mission. Here is an outline:
There really are depths of dumbth up with which I will not put, so I won’t be spending nine coins to build a Detective Agency in FrontierVille.Historically, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency was started 1850 but came into its own working for Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War (1861 to 1865, for foreigners and the home-schooled) catching Confederate spies and running their own networks in the South. The US didn’t have a national police force until the Bureau Of Investigation started up...

Tol Barad sounds pretty exotic, but really, what doesn't in World of WarCraft: Cataclysm? If you're a WoW: Cataclysm player and haven't heard of the Tol Barad zone yet, then what in the hell have you been doing? Letting a bot play your game? Maybe the WoW Glider? Tsk, tsk.
Strap wheels onto a bath, sit in it and ride down a hill. You could get more baths and have race
Similar to earlier submission I did with catapults, but this time there would be two or three catapults. Each of the guys would be put into one of those giant plastic hamster balls and then shot from the catapult at each other so they would hopefully hit in mid-air. Then roll them down a hill into thorn bushes so it pops.
you get a down a big ass hill with a tub with wells that can go on a ramp in to a tunnle wich will shoot out into someone pool :]
