Weird
Do you wish that your wilderness experience could include a sauna? Is making your own to much work? Behold the solution!
A company in Russia has developed new 4x4 with a mobile sauna attached to the back. Sauna lovers say that there is nothing in the world like jumping right from the hot sauna into the cool waters of a forest lake in some place hundred miles away from civilization...
This is really what the camping industry has been missing all along.

Chopstick Canoe Builder is also a Secret Kayak Builder
By: David H. Johnston
Sharp eyed Susan (another friend of the site) quickly observed that there seemed to be a kayak poking around the corner of the photo above. Oh course we put our crackpot forensic team to work examining the photo under an electron microscope only to discover that there are (how many?) 4 wood strip kayaks sitting on the racks behind him.
For those who don't know what is going on, this photo came from a posting earlier today about canoe builder, Shuhei Ogawara who recently unveiled a canoe he built out of used wooden chopsticks.
Former city employee, Shuhei Ogawara built a 4-meter (13-ft) long canoe out of 7,382 chopsticks. It took him over two years collecting the used chopsticks from his work cafeteria and three months of gluing.
To waterproof the boat, he coated the entire thing with polyester resin coat. The weight is around 30 kilograms (66 lbs), which is a bit heavier than an ordinary cedar canoe.
Special thanks to friend of the site, Andrew Green for the lead.

I found this online this morning but it was
posted on Yahoo News a couple of days ago so I can't chalk it up as an April
fools joke.It seems that the great Mr. T helped bring a young boy (who has been unconscious since the mid 80's) out of his coma.
Family members had toys (including a Mr. T doll) around the boys bed and doctors noticed that his muscles twitched each time Mr. T's name was said out loud.
"Somebody told the doctors I was in town, so they called me down there. I closed the curtains and prayed. Then, as I was walking down the hall, the kid suddenly came out of the coma and hollered out."
As a huge fan of the A-Team when I was a kid, I always new he would be put to good use though I never could figure out how Mr. T didn't have neck pain all the time with all the solid gold around his neck.
I still have VERY fond memories of him at the first WrestleMania fighting alongside another great, The Hulkster...
Now that is a reunion I would like to see again!

Interested in getting attached by a croc but having a difficult time closing the deal? Get yourself drunk, visit your local watering hole at night and go swimming.
According to the latest research by Queensland crocodile expert Dr. Mark Read, most of the attacks were a combination of alcohol, swimming and the dark.
"People are getting cocky and thinking they know what they are doing, which is bad. It is a case of the number of people who continue to swim in known crocodile habitat; in 80 per cent of the attacks people were swimming or wading in these areas.
"About 40 per cent of these attacks were late afternoon or evening when predators like crocodiles are most active and most dangerous.
"The other outstanding factor was 40 per cent of people attacked were acting under the influence of alcohol."
