Way to make me feel pretty pathetic about my life – Canadian Rory MacDonald is a professional MMA fighter with a 9-0 record who just got signed by the UFC and is making his debut next Monday at Ultimate Fight Night. And he ain’t even twenty-one years old. Read an interview with him here.

So the new tallest skyscraper in the world just opened up in the United Arab Emirates, and while everybody’s talking about how damned tall it is, nobody’s actually saying what’s inside the damn thing. Well, I got ahold of some documents detailing the Burj’s use plan and they’ll shock you like a Shocker. Read more.

• Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears 3 Ninja pajamas.
• The 3 Ninjas destroyed the periodic table, because the 3 Ninjas only recognize the element of surprise.
• The 3 Ninjas can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
• The 3 Ninjas touch MC Hammer
• The 3 Ninjas can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.
• The 3 Ninjas are the reason Waldo is hiding.
• The 3 Ninjas once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendants are known today as Giraffes.

Their video for “Here It Goes Again” is still one of my favorites. I’m glad that they were able to allow people to embed their videos once again. If you haven’t seen this post by Damian from back in January, they had a dispute with their record label about allowing blogs and such using the videos.

It blows my mind that they were able to set this whole sequence up. Obviously they had it rigged to be fail safe but even still…that would take a whole lot of planning, a whole lot of people and a whole lot of patience. This amazing Rube Goldberg Machine was constructed over several months by Syyn Labs and the band in a 2-story warehouse in Echo Park, CA.

If you haven’t heard of the Gumball 3000, let me explain, it’s pretty much just pure awesomeness. It’ s a bunch of rich guys (and some gals) with an appetite for speed and fun. The entry fee alone is $150,000. The “race” is an annual event with a different 3000 mile route all over the world each year. This coming race, held May 1-7, starts in London and ends in New York. There are stops in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Montreal and Toronto (obviously the cars are transported across the Atlantic).

There is no winner per se and there are no prizes. It’s really just  some people who can live out their fantasies and laugh in our faces while they do it. Each night these guys party it up big time too with a massive shindig. There have been numerous celebrities involved throughout the years including Adrien Brody, David Hasselhoff, Daryl Hannah, Bam Margera, Johnny Knoxville and Tony Hawk.  What would be your ultimate ride be if you had the money?
