It’s a Trap!

This is why you’re not actually supposed to play Mouse Trap. You simply build the contraptions and set them off over and over again until you’re bored. Playing the game only results in people getting hurt and me laughing. Just keep watching, it’s funnier the 10th time. YouTube Link

FootyTube

Finally, a website where you can watch quality soccer videos and game recaps. I love the extensive 10-20 minute videos that show all the highlights and the action leading up to the goals, not just the goals themselves. It’s perfect for checking out the games we don’t have access to here in the States. Also, be sure to check out FootyTube 2.0 in beta, which looks a lot better than the current design. My only complaint would be the name. I just can’t stand it when people refer to soccer/football as “footy.”

The Mile High Club

Golf club that is. This 400 yard par 3 is the 19th hole at the Legends Golf and Safari Resort golf course. The tee box, teetering high above at 1410 feet, requires a chopper to access it. Someday perhaps all golf carts will be replaced with helicopters. YouTube Link
