The Reverse Funnel System Is An Online Business Opportunity That Reveals The Secrets To Making Money Online ! The Perfect Internet Business!
Stuntman, jet pack pilot, and Evel Knievel-wannabe without the Elvis suit Eric Scott has broke a world record by flying 1,500 feet in 21 seconds over the Royal Gorge in Colorado, 1,025 feet over the Arkansas River. Pardon my French, but it has to take some balls to do this jump. Some balls and a hydrogen peroxide-powered jet pack with a carbon fiber design.
The jet pack debuted last year, but this has been the first time that it has been used in such a risky stunt, with no safety measures whatsoever for the pilot. It's based on a military design made by Bell Aerosystems back in the sixties. That model wasn't good because it was too heavy, so the people at Jet Pack International—where Eric works—redesigned it using carbon fiber technology.
The result is a jet pack that weights a lot less and, therefore, has more range although not that much: About 33 seconds vs 20 seconds of the old model. I don't know about you, but making a jump over a gorge like this with just 12 seconds of overhead doesn't seem like a lot of fun to me. [Jetpack International via Denver Post and Sky NEws]

Recycling circuit boards for use as everyday, decorative objects is nothing new —but you have to hand it to a guy who takes the concept this far. Although, I doubt that you would be pulling in a lot of tail rollin' down the street in a circuit board covered beater with Thomas Dolby blaring on the radio.

Bob Clark was the alternate icon of the eighties. While John Hughes brought out a number of red-headed features, the Florida-bred Clark was releasing alterna-classics from
Porky's existed in a time before pie sex and films that made profanity a passing phrase. The cast was a group of unknowns whose names never transcended the film, that is, except for Honeywell -aka- Kim Cattrall, who went on to play a mannequin and a sex fiend. Although the movie was panned for its misogynistic portrayals, the film quickly became a cult classic. Raging profanity and peeping kids, what could be more real? "It's outrageous, because we were outrageous."
In October, a not-at-all "special" edition of the film was released in the US. Now, Playback Magazine reveals that Maple Pictures will be handling a Canadian version -- hopefully one with more features -- to be released on the 21st. The anniversary comes at an interesting time, since Porky's was just partially de-throned from its spot as the highest-grossing Canadian film EVER. Yes, in the last twenty-five years, only one Canadian release has come close -- this year's Bon Cop, Bad Cop, which has gone farther in revenue, but not inflation-adjusted numbers. Now, Howard Stern has picked up the re-make rights to Porky's. Over two decades later, do we still care? Or will we all try to re-capture our youth with a DVD and remake?

This week's Kitchen Nightmares was a repeat, but I missed it the first time around and it has since spurned a lawsuit and lots of diets. Besides, I was off last week and can't stand staring at the walls any longer.
Oh, be a man.
Our Apple OS X Leopard coverage is in high fever. (Here's an Antidote, if you're a Windows fan.) For the rest of you, here's a roundup of all our coverage so far:
— Our Unabridged Apple OS X Leopard Test Notes (24 Hours and Counting...)
—
— First NSFW use of iChat's customizable video backdrops
— Ten Things You Should Know Before You Upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard
— Mac OS X Leopard Liveblog: Impressions From The First Hour
— How Fast is Apple OS X Leopard On Old Macs?
— What was recently announced in Leopard features.
— A complete list of Apple's Leopard Features (on Apple.com)
— And everything else about Leopard.
If that's not enough, we've collected impressions from USA Today, the WSJ and the NYTimes in both summarized and chart form. And for those of you who hate macs, here's how to read Gizmodo without any Apple posts.
Even though he's never quite been able to match the profound national mindfuck he laid down when he went live with Monica Lewinsky a couple minutes before everyone else, Matt Drudge's bizarre story sense and predilections still drive the larger political media narrative. Except for his weird weather obsession. But when he puts a semi-comprehensible political headline in 72-pt. font, people take note. The fact that he's a weirdo Crypto-Liberti-Publican has always been something of a problem for the liberals who used to control the media, but now, finally, they have a candidate craven enough to play Matt's game: Hillary Clinton!
While Drudge still gleefully links to every anti-Hillary story he can find (dirty Chinese money, people!!), he acknowledges that she's hugely entertaining and good for business. So Hill's using former DNC official Tracy Sefl to reach out to Matt and get him to occasionally push stuff that doesn't necessarily make Hillary look like the whore of Babylon. Like when they preempted Obama's Iraq speech with Hill's leaked fundraising numbers! She's rich and inevitable, enjoying giving your cute little war talk, hope boy.
The cutest part of this Times story is how John McCain was planning on "sending an emissary to Miami to build their own relationship with him" but Drudge never answered their emails. And no one wants to talk on the record about him because then he might stop linking to them!
As of right now, Drudge is leading with TERROR and WEATHER TERROR, always two of his favorite subjects, but he did find a way to connect the California wildfires to the Clinton campaign, with the typically charming headline, "As Fires Rage, Rob Reiner Sings For Clinton..." (the fires were "raging" some miles away from Reiner's Malibu home, but don't let that get in the way of a nice Nero image). So, uh, still kinda negative! The story about how all the Republicans were trashing her during their sad "debate" is basically about as neutral as Matt gets. Inconclusive!
Also! We briefly chatted with Ms. Sefl, who didn't cooperate with the Times piece and didn't have much to say to us either, even though we've been drunk with her. She did agree that it would be a good idea to try to figure out the magic Drudge-gaming formula and then maybe sell this formula to our boss Nick Denton for a couple million and retire from blogging or having to read about Matt Drudge ever again. It's a good idea!
