Nice one! Was it a sweetly struck shot or was it a trickster like Vijay's.

My old boss got one. Rolled along the ground the whole way and went straight in. He also got a hatrick in cricket too. He was a shocking sportsman but had the luck it seems.

Bounced 2 or 3 times and straight in, I love telling the low handicapers, they are good but most have never done it.

Also had a hatrick playing for my school many years ago.

This is unbelievable. I wonder if they eat people?

I've seen pics before but this vid is incredible. Especially when the baby crabs are on the march.

Red crabs march across Christmas Island

Christmas Island is a busy place at the moment.

The island has been at the centre of angry debates in Federal Parliament and generated more news stories than you could begin to count in the last few weeks.

The 1,156 asylum seekers on the island rival the local population of about 1,200, and extra demountables from the Northern Territory have had to be shipped to the island's detention centre, 2,600 kilometres north-west of Perth.

About 300 extra workers are now living on Christmas Island to help deal with the influx of asylum seekers intercepted trying to reach the Australian mainland.

But some permanent island residents - oblivious to the political rows taking place - are on the move. All 50 million of them.

The red crabs have begun their yearly march from the rainforests of the rugged island to the sea to breed.

LOL @ Arnie! Still a superstar! Read the letters down the left hand side!

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes the Swearminator as he turns down legislation

Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger has come under fire after apparently concealing an obscene message in a letter to a political opponent.

The Californian governor wrote to a local politician from the rival Democrat party explaining why he refused to sign a bill into law.

But the note included a less diplomatic expression - the first letter of each line read downwards spelt out "F*** You".

Schwarzenegger's aides passed it off as a "coincidence". A spokesman said: "My goodness. I suppose when you do so many vetoes, something like this is bound to happen." The letter was sent to San Francisco assembly member Tom Ammiano and posted on the state's website.

Earlier this month, Ammiano heckled the Republican governor as he was speaking at a Democrat event, accusing him of being a liar.

His spokesman said: "Kudos to the governor for creative use of coincidence. You certainly need a sense of humour in politics."

You have to becareful of those atheists! : Dont let the bad cartoon put you off its quite witty!

Here are Ray and Kent again with another Special Investigation, using all the available information to draw reasonable conclusions about what it means to not believe in their specific deity.

Months and months ago I read on Pharyngula a letter sent to the editor of a newspaper that read almost verbatim to Ray and Kent's conversation here. It was stunning that even if it's only the hardest-core fundamentalists, that anyone can presume that they know anything about a person simply by their lack of belief in something that is so devoid of supporting evidence. In fact, in making this one I based the early script around that letter and let it build up from there.
I lost the url, but kind user CousinoMacul sent me the link.

In Russia, an out of control fork-lift driver has given a new meaning to drink driving. Video featured by http://skandalim.ru suggests lost control of his vehicle, and slammed into stock shelves holding thousands of bottles of Cognac and vodka. The chain reaction soon left him very much under the influence of drink. The accident will leave the alcohol retailer with a nasty financial hangover. It's estimated over 150 thousands dollars worth of stock was downed.

"In Russia, an out of control fork-lift driver...."
Since the report is making pun of it.
The forklift driver was T. Keelor-Slamma. The boss was I. M. Pistov. The new forklift driver is R. Sliquor.

Meteor lights up early morning sky, alarms Utahns
November 18th, 2009 @ 10:08pm

SALT LAKE CITY -- A fast-moving meteor lit up the night skies over most of Utah just after midnight Wednesday. Moments later, the phones lit up at KSL as people across the state called to tell us what they saw and ask what it was.

Scientists are calling it a "remarkable midnight fireball." The source of all the excitement was basically a rock, falling from space.

In addition to KSL, witnesses to the meteor quickly began call 911.

"I'm currently driving, but I just saw a giant blue flash in the sky, and it came down into the city," a caller from Ogden said.

A caller in Bountiful told dispatchers, "It flashed from the west, and it lit up the whole freakin' neighborhood."

A Salt Lake City caller said, "Ma'am, I'm not kidding you. I am terrified."

Professor David Kieda is chair of the University of Utah's astronomy department. He said the energy of the meteor coming into Earth's atmosphere was so powerful it has to be measured in Terawatts.

"It's almost like the consumption of the United States all at once. It was a fraction of a second," Kieda said.

When a meteor enters the atmosphere, it gives off a lot of heat and light. Folks at the Clark Planetarium say this rock was big--between the size of a microwave and washer-dryer unit.

These meteors are quite interesting. Nice fireball from this one!

Meteor 'lights up the South African sky'
09:30 AEST Thu Nov 26 2009

A meteor that crashed in South Africa lit up the sky but despite the stunning event being caught on camera, astronomers can't find where it landed.

CCTV footage showed the meteor flying through the sky over Johannesburg on Saturday night with a green flash before appearing to explode in an orange ball of flames.

Claire Flanagan of the Johannesburg Planetarium told The Sun said witnesses were lucky to see the event.

"Everyday we have rocks hitting us but the thing is they mostly happen over the ocean or where nobody is living or at two in the morning or at midday when nobody can see them," she said.

Despite being seen by potentially hundreds of witnesses and being caught on numerous security cameras, scientists are still yet to find where the meteor landed.

Man's penis cut free with grinder

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/991798/mans-penis-cut-free-with-grinder

"A British man got his penis stuck so firmly in a steel pipe it had to be cut free with a metal grinder.

The man, aged in his 40s, waited nervously for 30 minutes as seven firefighters help cut him free from the pipe in Southampton on Tuesday, The Sun newspaper reports.

Earlier attempts to free the man failed because the pipe had restricted his blood flow and left him in a state of arousal, a spokesman for the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

"It was a very delicate operation that required a very steady hand and the crew was worried about things getting too hot during the cutting,” he was quoted as saying.

"It's certainly an unusual call-out and I'm sure the man won't be getting into that situation again."

The man was taken to Southampton General Hospital with bruising and swelling but was otherwise fine.

He did not say how he became stuck in the pipe."

DARWIN'S prostitutes and local ladies have been busy trying to keep pace with the swell of cute, horny US seamen on our shores.

But they must be more than capable because at least one chemist is reporting low condom stocks and a number of Navy blokes asking about Viagra.

USS Peleliu and USS Pearl Harbor have docked at Fort Hill Wharf and unleashed hundreds of young, well-cut and hot-to-trot sailors.
