Sumo Tube.... looks like an easter egg
WEAR IT! STEER IT! ROLL IT! JUMP IT!
The Sumo Tube is a new, exciting, and challenging freestyle towable that is not connected to the boat. The rider slides into the Sumo suit and holds on to a grab handle on the end of a 60' rope. The rider can roll 360s from left to right, jump the wakes, steer left and right by moving their arms, or just glide across the water's surface. It's a fast and fun bodysurfing thrill ride. The Sumo Tube can also be used in the crashing waves as a body surfing tube. The Sumo tube is one chamber and inflates quickly.

Old Fred's last words
Old Fred's hospital bed is surrounded by well-wishers, but it doesn't look good. Suddenly, he motions frantically to the pastor for something to write on. The pastor lovingly hands him a pen and a piece of paper, and Fred uses his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then dies. The pastor thinks it best not to look at the note right away, so he places it in
his jacket pocket.
At Fred's funeral, as the pastor is finishing his eulogy, he realizes he's wearing the jacket he was wearing when Fred died. "Fred handed me a note just before he died," he says. "I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration in it for us all." Opening the note, he reads aloud, "Help! You're standing on my oxygen tube!"
Tiger Woods' golf miracle
Tiger made a shot recently on the 16th hole of the back 9 at Augusta that teetered on the edge of the hole…. paused…. then miraculously rolled into the cup. How did it happen? How did it go in? Some pretty interesting theories about it.

benedictxvi.com for the new Pope?
Not likely. Looks like Rogers Cadenhead snapped it up already. If the Vatican wants to use the domain name of benedictxvi, the new owner has some “requests”:
Here are some things I would like. Please do not call them demands:
- I. Three days, two nights at the Vatican hotel they built for the conclave.
- II. One of those hats.
- III. Complete absolution, no questions asked, for the third week of March 1987.
- IV. A back-cover blurb from the Pope for the next edition of Movable Type 3 Bible Desktop Edition. But only if he uses the book to create his own weblog.
- V. World peace

Holy crap Batman!
The perfect crapper
American Standard’s new Champion toilet can “swallow” 24 golf balls without choking. It doesn’t have chains & flappers but a tower system for flushing and the waste opening is 40% larger virtually guaranteeing no need for plunging. (They haven’t met my friend Mick yet.) The (w)hole flushing story.

Maggots are good
Four years ago, a small cut on Mitchell's left heel turned into an diabetes-related infection two inches wide and down to the bone... the powerful antibiotic that doctors prescribed for her infection was also wreaking havoc on her bones. Mitchell found a dermatologist willing to perform the [maggot] procedure, and soon had 600 live maggots wriggling inside the wound on her left foot, 400 in her right, where they were sealed in gauze and left for two days. Today, Mitchell walks normally and both wounds are completely healed. She is now a member of the board for the Biotherapeutics Education and Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes the medical use of maggots
