These two guys from Russia exceeded the speed limit and thought they’d be clever by pretending they’re Swiss tourists so they don’t have to pay the fine. Or so they thought..until the Ukrainian cop answered them back in English LOL

Second Heart Attack Grill Customer Collapses After Bypass Burger!
This Saturday a woman collapsed and was rushed to hospital at LA’s notorious Heart Attack Grill during the middle of consuming a Double Bypass burger. I guess the irony of the situation will not be lost on this particular lady!
The woman, who is in her 40s, became the second customer is just a few months to collapse after ingesting food from the restaurants calorie-loaded menu. It is still not known exactly what caused the woman to collapse, but an unhealthy lifestyle might have something to do with it! The restaurant owner told ABC news that the woman was smoking, drinking cocktails and dancing at the Grill before she took a turn for the worse.
The man who collapsed at the Heart Attack Grill in February, did actually have a heart attack. He had ordered a Triple Bypass Burger! Onlookers at the restaurant initially believed the incident to be a publicity stunt in keeping with the restaurant’s ‘Heart Attack’ theme. They crowded around the man, taking pictures and videos on their mobile phones! Continue Reading

Daredevil Completes Slackline Walk Across China’s Grand Canyon
Every now and then you will find something on YouTube that will make you hold your hands up and exclaim excitedly, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me – that cannot be real’!! Sometimes they aren’t, sometimes what you are watching is just an elaborate publicity stunt or a cleverly engineered prank intended to go viral. Sometimes though, you will find one of those gems, something carried out by someone that is so incredible that you feel compelled to tell your mates about it and post the video all over Facebook, Twitter or whichever social media outlet floats your boat.
I found one such video today and if you haven’t already come across it, the chances are it will make its way into your newsfeed very soon. It is the clip of American daredevil Dean Potter, 40, crossing China’s Enshi Grand Canyon on a slackline. Don’t try this at home kids!
For those of you who don’t know what a slackline is, it is a little like doing a tightrope walk, but as suggested in the name, the rope is slack meaning it is somewhat more challenging and probably a little bit more dangerous! Wow, even going across a canyon on a tightrope sets my danger alarm off ringing loud and clear, but doing it on a slackline, where the rope is prone to bounce and swing just seems like plain old crazy talk to me!
On Sunday, whilst most of us were busy eating roast dinners, watching crap on the television or flicking aimlessly through magazines, Dean Potter completed the 40m walk in approximately two minutes! What makes the stunt that little bit more exciting is the fact that he did it without any safety equipment whatsoever, in his bare feet and all whilst listening to music on his headphones! The canyon that Potter crossed is 1,800 meters high and the rope he was placing his bare feet upon was just two centimeters wide!
This isn’t the first jaw-dropping, totally insane stunt that Dean Potter has pulled in his life either; he is a renowned rock climber, speed climber, free climber, highliner BASE jumper, BASE liner and also partakes in lots of other scary activities that would turn your cup of tea cold just thinking about!
In 2006, Potter climbed the Reticent Wall of El Capitan, the vertical rock formation at the Yosemite National Park in just under 35 hours, totally annihilating the previous record for that climb. El Capitan is a famous location of rock climbing enthusiasts, but the Reticent Wall poses one of its most difficult challenges.

John Terry Stripped Of England Captaincy For The 2nd Time
Chelsea defender John Terry has been stripped of the England Captaincy by the FA over allegations he racially abused QPR’s Anton Ferdinand.
Terry is due to stand trial for this charge in court on July 9th – one week after the European Championship concludes, he has entered a plea of ‘Not Guilty’. Members of the public in the ground reported the abuse, which is why it is in the hands of criminal prosecutors and why it wasn’t dealt with by the FA internally – like the Luis Suarez – Patrice Evra affair.
Terry received a phone call from FA Chairman David Bernstein explaining the decision this afternoon. The last time the captaincy was taken from Terry was in February of 2010, after allegations he had been involved in an affair with England team-mate Wayne Bridge’s girlfriend. Scandalous stories about Terry’s love-life littered the front and back pages of the national news and it was decided it would be in everyone’s best interest to take the captaincy away from him.
Manchester United Defender Rio Ferdinand, who took the captaincy the last time Terry was reprimanded, has tweeted that he would not accept the role this time, if it was offered to him.
Previously the English FA, and Chelsea FC were adopting the position of ‘innocent until proven guilty” and whilst his football club are still holding to that stance, the FA have said that they have made this decision due to the ‘high profile’ nature of the England captaincy and its additional demands and requirements, especially in the run-up to a major tournament.
The FA also explained their decision to leave Terry in place as captain until now, stating that they had expected that the trial would be concluded before the European Championship started, however in the light of the trial date being given in July, they felt they needed to take this action now in the interests of all involved. They said, he would not “captain the England team until the allegations against him are resolved”.
It is understood that England Manager Fabio Capello was not involved in FA’s discussions on the subject – but will responsible for making the decision as to who replaces him.
The FA finished their statement by saying that their decision “in no way infers any suggestion of guilt in relation to the charge made against John Terry,” and that they would not make any further comments on the subject.
Andre Villas-Boas said that John Terry would continue as captain of Chelsea, and implied that he did not agree with the action the FA had taken.
