The Seabreacher
The two-seater craft can submerge 2 ft underwater for around 20 seconds at a time creating the dolphin-like dive effect.
"It's really just for fun. It's a 3-D jet ski. We liken it to a monster truck. In the end we would like to turn it into a recognised sport as you can race and jump. You can do a single or double roll in the Seabreacher which is great fun though the landing is quite rough.
"It is quite complicated to drive though - it's a workout to handle it. I would be wary of selling it on to people because there is the danger that after submerging you could hit a boat or a swimmer.Interesting, and it only costs $78,953.54!!!

Skywalk'n USA
The Glass Bridge Construction of the Skywalk began March of 2004 and is estimated to be completed by 4th quarter of 2006.
Upon completion, the Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon. On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more than 71 million pounds). The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
Sheesh!!! I dont know about that one, I am not afraid of heights.....I think I would make it....but only after freaking out first!!!

Texas Tea Tub
Here in Naftalan, visitors can bathe once a day in the local crude. They and doctors here say it relieves joint pain, cures psoriasis, calms nerves and beautifies skin — never mind that Western experts say it may cause cancer.
Each bath uses about a barrel of crude, which is recycled into a communal tank for future bathers, given the cost of oil these days. Mr. Mirzeyev also uses paper towels to wipe bathers clean, a long, hard process that involves several showers.
The tubs are not scoured between baths and, as might be expected, have perhaps the world’s worst bathtub rings — greasy and greenish brown.
Uhhh, that's nasty!!! Nasty, nasty, nasty.....A 15-day course costs $450, what a deal!

BenQ MusiQ Dog Tag MP3 Player Advertisment
These BenQ MusiQ Dog Tag MP3 players may be quite stylish, but wtf is up with their Chinese site? The splash page features some one gloved Michael Jackson guy standing in front of what looks like the WTC ruins. Yeah? Seemed like a good idea at the time?BenQ must have taken a page from BlackBerry's Pearl Harbor ad campaign where the Japanese were depicted as dropping smartphones into the hands of screaming Cingular users. – Jason Chen
Wow, ...I think that the image is extremely blatant in which emotion it is supposed to invoke ...but it clearly points out that as "sex-sells", "hate-sells" just as much...
