Serbian Chefs Cook Kangaroo, Boar, Camel, and Ostrich Testicles as Part of Festival

Daaamn! I thought eating goat testicles was weird! The annual World Testicle Cooking Championship (yes, apparently that exists), held in Serbia, featured chefs cooking a range of animal testicles being prized as delicacies.

French Spiderman Arrested After Climbing 57 Stories

If Spiderman was real, he'd be proud of this. Alain Robert, aka the French "Spiderman", has crawled his way up structures in cities from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, to New York, using just his bare hands and a bag of chalk dust. His last attempt in Sydney where he climbed 57 stories ended in a total buzzkill for the poor guy.

 Police arrested the man and "will be prosecuting him to the full extent of the law."

 I honestly think they should be more lenient with the guy, I mean you don't find people who can do that everyday. However, I also think a system should be made where special permission can be granted to him at special times. Businesses would love this too. ;)

Why You Should Get a Mustang 2011 Today!

 Oh man!! If you're a Mustang fan, wait till you see this one! The 2011 Mustang is probably the sexiest beast out there, with one of the models featuring a 3.7l model that can produce up to 305 horsepower. Another advantage of the brand new Mustang is that, with 30 mpg, it offers 25% better fuel economy than the previous year's model! Great news for those who complain about the Mustang's fuel economy.

The V6 model mentioned is also both quicker AND more fuel efficient than the base Camaro (which I also fancy, by the way).


The new 2011 Models include:




V6: $22,145
V6 Premium: $25,845
V6 Convertible:  $27,145
GT: $29,645
V6 Premium Convertable: $30,845
GT Premium: $32,845
GT Convertible:  $34,645
GT Premium Convertible: $37,845
Shelby GT: $48,645
Shelby GT Convertible:  $53,645
 For the original list from Ford (with specs):  http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/models/

This new V6 model is great news, especially since you get the same Mustang look for cheaper and you save more fuel! I mean to me, I honestly don't need a 5l raging beast to drive down Shk. Zayed Rd. (can you imagine the fines!), 3.7l V6 is perfectly fine for me, as long as I get a Mustang.
