Oh my goodness gracious me... Am I coming or going? I don't know anymore as there is so much amazing "stuff" out there in the Internet... Have you seen those images from the Bizarre Architecture competition a few years ago? Billed as "The unique dream houses you'd like to own," there are some classic stretches of the imagination here. I'm really hard-pushed to say which is my favourite – but if "push came to shove" I think I would go with the first one – I would LOVE to live in something like this ( Click here to see these images). Thinking about trying a new hairstyle? Contemplating something a little different? Don't worry; I have you covered, check out these 10 Amazing Hairstyles on the WickedReport.com website. What? You haven't heard of or visited the WickedReport.com site before? Oh dear; oh dear; oh dear. Now I feel bad because I know what you are going to be doing for the next hour or so. How about a little something for the ladies – the "Real Iron Men" ? I am of course talking about Extreme Ironing (to what did you think I was referring?) Do you recall my recent blog Words fail me, seriously! showing Jeb Corliss jumping off the top of mountains and zipping around the sky using a wing-suit. Well, several folks commented or emailed me pointing me at another "heart in your mouth" video – this one is of Jean-Yves Blondeau and his 31-wheel Luge Suit . It's terrifying. I daren't think what would happen if he were to hit a bump or a small rock (make sure you check the comments to my original blog to discover a bunch of other video suggestions). And then there was my other blog What's the funniest/goofiest/spoofiest sci-fi video on YouTube? Again, I received a lot of suggestions on what's the funniest, goofiest, spoofiest sci-fi video. For example, we have the classic Darth Vader Being a Jerk and also the Injured Stormtrooper parody. But the best-of-the-best (thus far ... unless you know different) just has to be the Grocery Store Wars . Isn't this an incredible piece of work? There are so many funny lines and clever references... I'm just blown away by this sort of stuff... What? You want more? Well, some time ago my chum David Ashton sent me an email saying: "Max...not sure if this is up your street but have a look... It's a phenomenally simple game where you have to move a small red block around a window, avoiding touching either the sides of the window or four blue blocks which are bouncing around. It's a bit like the old bricks game but with a twist. Apparently the target is to survive more than 18 seconds. It looks deceptively simple, but if you can get above about 3 seconds in your first 10 tries you're doing well." ÿ David is right; this is deceptively simple and yet incredibly tricky (I survived 0.3 seconds on my first attempt). Click here to try this game and see how well you do...
