The world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Dubai tower, is almost complete and as you can see from this high resolution shot the thing is massive. The original plans for the tower call for the aircraft beacon to sit 819 meters in the sky or just barely over half a mile for those of you who are metrically challenged. Hit the link to Gizmodo to check out the all the other high resolution shots done by David Hobcote.

If you can’t even manage to take your license out of your wallet without putting your head through the wall of the police station you don’t stand a chance at passing a breathalyzer. I think the second fall is probably my favorite. The guy probably travels a good 10 to 15 feet before a second run in with a wall stops him.

You know you want a steak right now. No matter what you’re doing, part of you wants to be grilling up a steak, and then eating it in front of the TV. It’s science.

Here’s a quick video that lets you live out your fantasy, in a mere 14 seconds. Delicious!

Batman can keep his kick ass utility belt, I am going with the beer belt. I think this thing is a must have for any grill master during the summer time. It allows you to keep both hands free to work the tongs and with a six beer capacity you don’t risk burning the meat while you head to the fridge for another brew. I’m thinking about getting two of these things and hanging one on each side. That way I can roll out with a full half rack. Sure they might get a little warm but I think if I had 12 beers so handy I wouldn’t have a problem powering through them before they all lost their cool. Besides at $18 they kind of seem like a bargain.

Look at the big brass balls on Chuck. Chuck Aaron, 59, is the only FAA certified stunt helicopter pilot in the country. The guy does shit in a helicopter that no one else will even attempt. Aaron has logged more than 17,000 hours in helicopters and has spent the last three years piloting the Red Bull stunt helicopter. Check out the video for some of Chuck’s signature bad ass moves.

He starts his show with a maneuver that includes a vertical climb with a 360-degree roll going straight up until he runs out of airspeed and then performs a roll as he falls back toward gravity’s grasp.

All you Marty McFly wannabes, strap on your Air McFlys, grab your hoverboard, jump in your big ass Delorean and gun it to 88. If we only had a flux capacitor our childhood dreams would be complete. I guarantee this guy has all the goods.

No internet-photoshop-tomfoolery here that is Jamison Stone standing with the 1,000-pound wild hog that he dropped last year in Alabama. Good Christ, that thing looks like it could eat an 11 year old kid. Of course Jamison hasn’t exactly been able to enjoy his prize kill. Some ass-clown animal rights activist in New York is claiming Jameson should be prosecuted for animal cruelty because it took nine shots to kill the hog. It’s a 1000-pound-fucking-wild-boar how many shots do you think it is going to take to kill it? Sure they might be in Alabama but they at least have enough sense not to give an 11 year old a fucking elephant gun (most of the time).

“You should see some of the emails and hear some of the calls we have received,” Jamison’s father said. “They are explicit. They tell how they are going to kill my son, like cutting his head off.

What kind of a person threatens the life of a kid over an animal? The kind of person that needs to climb down out of their sad little “I heart animals” tower and step back into reality, that’s who.

Tired of using a rod and reel to catch fish? Why not drop out of the sky like a bird of prey and wrestle the bastard? This crazy ass Australian decided he was going to catch himself a fish like the birds. Since he can’t fly he decided to use the next best thing which would be a helicopter. Much like the cable guy getting punched in the nuts this could be fake but that looks like a pretty goddamn real fish.

It’s been almost 20 years since Back to the Future II hit theaters and gave every kid under the age of 18 a boner with the thoughts of a real working hoverboard. Shit, I might be 28 years old but if Mattel dropped a hoverboard tomorrow I would definitely buy one. Seeing as how no toy company has figured out how to make a hoverboard we will have to settle for the movie prop version. The auction states that during the course of filming both styrofoam and wooden hoverboards were used. Apparently the styrofoam boards have deteriorated over time but this wooden board was used in filming and it’s in almost perfect condition.

How much is a non-working but almost perfect hoverboard going to set you back? According to the Ebay auction you are looking at somewhere between $30K - $50K. Sure they strapped this thing to Michael J. Fox’s feet and drug him around with a crane but that is a shit ton of money for a wooden board painted neon pink.

Everyone has run into at least one situation where a phone call is required but you would rather punch yourself in the face than actually talk to the person. Maybe you are in a rush and you need to call that one buddy who can’t have a phone conversation that lasts less than thirty minutes. Maybe you want to leave your boss a message letting him know that you won’t be coming in without actually talking to him. Maybe you need to call the girl that you woke up next to last weekend but you really want to avoid the awkward phone conversation.

For those awkward situations and many more Slydial is here to help. The service couldn’t be more genius. Basically Slydail allows you to go straight to someone’s voicemail without having to sweat through the four or five rings it would normally take. The whole process is pretty simple. From any mobile or landline phone dial 267-SLYDIAL (267-759-3425) and then at the voice prompt enter the phone number that you would like to leave a voicemail for. At that point you will be sent directly to that person’s voicemail.

Of couse nothing in life is free. So when you ring up Slydial you will either have to listen to a short advertisement or cough up $0.15 per call. If you are a professional people dodger Slydial does offer subscription plans.

This morning I boarded a train to Portland for my annual pilgrimage to the Oregon Brewer’s Festival. The last weekend of July has become a sacred holiday for a group of college friends and myself - I’ve requested weddings, BBQs and birthday parties to be scheduled around this holiday.

The weekend usually includes drunken debauchery, barbecuing, whiffle ball, drunken jackassery, crashing a random house party, hanging out in the Pearl, and, of course, drinking beer. The Oregon Brewer’s Festival, or as we call it, “Brewfest,” also takes place during Oregon Craft Beer Month this year…like I give a fuck. Brewfest is wall-to-wall people during prime-time drinking hours and the weather is usually hot as balls, turning the river waterfront of Portland into an open-air dive bar.

This year Brewfest is touting the connection of its 21st anniversary with the 21st Amendment. Nerds. Read their whole press release here. Also, there will be 72 craft beers, representing 18 states. I’ll have a full report next week. If you’ll be at the Brewfest, look for me, I’ll be the one drinking drunk.
