“Minimize Me” – A Crazy Swede on a Hamburger Diet
Hi, I’m Johan from Sweden, I’m on a hamburger diet. I’ve lost over a 40 lbs and i’m still shrinking.
I’ve got a story about a man who has been on a strict hamburger diet for 83 days. Johan has lost 60 pounds so far, the goal was 50 pounds in 90 days. It is a big thing in Sweden and he has a blog by the name of Minimize Me (instead of Supersize Me, of course)

How to Cheat At Paintball
Anyone who thinks of paintballing as a rather geeky way of simulating combat, might want to think again. That’s because a mini-arms race may be about to break out after the introduction of the paintball tank.
The Paintball Panzer is armed with a 60cm (24in) gun that can pepper opposition players with 15 paintballs a second. The one-man machine, which costs £9,000 ($18,000), was invented by former RAF engineer Philip Parsons.

Woman Trapped In Car As It Dangles Precariously Over a Bridge
It’s the kind of thing you’ve seen countless times in the movies. But for Brian and Roslyn Fields, it was a real life cliffhanger. Both are alive to tell the tale but it didn’t always appear that would be the outcome after they set off on a holiday in Queensland, Australia.
The couple was towing a trailer near the rural town of Crows Nest, when their car hit a bumpy road and flipped over right at the end of a bridge. The vehicle was left dangling there in a precarious position, with even a small movement the difference between having it fall 60 feet to a creek below or staying in place. Only a hardwood beam that punctured the car held it in place.
It swung there like a pendulum between life and death as Bryan scrambled out of the rig with the help of rescue crews. But his wife was in a far more perilous position. She was unable to get out and was trapped inside the car for what felt like an eternity, as workers gingerly attempted to cut her out of it.
They finally got her free by peeling off the roof and the duo is breathing a huge sigh of relief at their narrow escape. They’ve cut their vacation short to return home and recover, but vow the accident won’t deter them – and they’ll be back on the road again as soon as possible.

How To Pour Iced Tea Whilst Doing A Barrel Roll
Former test pilot Bob Hoover shows how to fly with the engine shut off and how to pour coffee while flying upside down.
Since a barrel roll is a positive G maneuver (properly executed), the story was always believable, but there’s something about seeing it for myself that made me smile. 🙂
Oh, the other high speed, power off, low flying antics in that video are quite entertaining too.
