I don’t care how much you just bench pressed. Shepherd Yusuf Alchagirov, from the southern Russian region of Kabardino-Balkaria, is tougher than you are or will ever be. When Alchagirov was attacked by a brown bear – whether it was hungry or was just playing with Alchagirov is uncertain –…

Now I don’t wanna alarm anyone, but the Loch Ness Monster has apparently somehow mastered flight. And where did she go first? Why, she rightly zoomed off to the center of the Monster Universe, Australia, where the ugliest and most dangerous creatures in the world congregate and occasionally get elected…

If I sound out of breath, it’s because I just got back from retrieving the needle for my Idiotometer, which sprung off the device and flew out the window after I scanned this video. Using the limited information I found, let me paint the picture: A bro-dude and his bro-buddies…

I love this. Not only because it’s an incredible story, but this is some first-rate storytelling by Doug DeMuro. The gist is Ed Bolian –  who is, unsurprisingly, a Lamborghini salesman – not only broke the cross-US driving speed record, he tore it off the wall, jumped up and down…

It’s difficult to not to geek out over the Jet Capsule mini-yacht. It’s just so quintessentially European. Modest and affordable, while being comfortable and attractive. I mean look at it! It looks like a frickin’ Star Trek shuttle craft! Made in Italy, the Jet Capsule measures 23 feet long, 13…

[UPDATE: Sadly, it seems this video was so hilariously embarrassing, even for the Kristi “Wrong Way” Noem, that it has been thoroughly scrubbed from the internet. I can’t find it anywhere. Little help?] Yes, this video is more than a year old, but with US elections coming up next week,…

Oh God. Not this. Not my wine. Anything but that. Hot on the heels of the news that a possible chocolate scarcity could affect the planet as early as 2017, the suicidal news that the world is facing a potential wine shortage is forcing certain travel writers to change their…

One time, I stopped myself one click away from purchasing a suspiciously cheap plane ticket from Athens, Greece to Minneapolis when I realized that the ticket was actually from Athens, Georgia to Minneapolis. Whew! Another time, an obnoxious agent at the Nice, France train station, who was extremely unhappy about…

Now what I want to know is – because we’re obviously dealing with some kind of genius here – how did they get this truck in this spot without (apparently) causing any damage? Frankly, I’m still a bit stunned by this scene, found in a parking ramp in downtown Winnipeg,…

First of all, I already invented time travel back in 1991. You buy a jug of Gordon’s Vodka, a gallon of orange juice, mix it, “prime” yourself with this time travel potion (one cup every 20 minutes is optimal – no ice), strap yourself into something and in the blink…
