That is a great display of a severely stunted survival instinct.

Was that the Anna Karenina of bungee jumping, or the War and Peace of bungee jumping?

It's more of a soon to be Underground Man.

No way I would trust the setup those kids used, but that looks fun as all hell to me and if rigged right it would be just fine.

Elephant tails, dried hedgehogs and chicken blood probably weren't on the top of your packing list the last time you traveled.
But U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized all of that and other animal parts and plants from one suitcase at Washington Dulles International Airport.

CBP spokesman Steve Sapp said Thursday that the items were taken on Dec. 3 from a 59-year-old man who was traveling from Ghana. The passenger said the items were used for spiritual purposes.

Officials did not release the name of the man, who was en route to Maryland, because he has not been charged with a crime.

The suitcase contained two elephant tails, bloody sheets, five chicken feathers, chicken blood, a dried hedgehog, two dried chameleons, grass, seed pods, tree bark chips and a jug filled with soil, herbs and blood, authorities said.

Senator Bernard Sanders, independent of Vermont. He spent more than eight hours on the floor railing against the plan to continue the tax policies of George W. Bush, as well as the estate tax proposal
8 hours? Seriously?
