Project Grizzly

Now easily available online, in its entirety.

In this feature-length documentary, Troy James Hurtubise goes face to face with Canada's most deadly land mammal, the grizzly bear. Troy is the creator of what he hopes is a grizzly-proof suit, and he repeatedly tests his armour – and courage – in stunts that are both hair-raising and hilarious. Directed by Peter Lynch, the film has become a cult classic in the United States and is rumoured to be a favourite of director Quentin Tarantino.

Ig Nobel Prize Winning Research

In our day we used to be told to drink a glass of water backwards. But research now suggests that, for intractable hiccups, a simple finger up the bottom can work wonders. As it can for so many things.

It is not made clear whether or not the treatment should be administered unannounced for greatest effect.

Perimeter: Soviet Doomsday Machine

Valery Yarynich glances nervously over his shoulder. Clad in a brown leather jacket, the 72-year-old former Soviet colonel is hunkered in the back of the dimly lit Iron Gate restaurant in Washington, DC. It's March 2009—the Berlin Wall came down two decades ago—but the lean and fit Yarynich is as jumpy as an informant dodging the KGB. He begins to whisper, quietly but firmly.

A Doogie of Child Prodigies

Every year a new child prodigy seems to pop up and battle both puberty and the challenge of earning multiple degrees before they can see an R-rated movie at the theater. We’ve highlighted the latest crop of young geniuses who are real-life, present day Doogie Howsers (minus the IBM computer diary).

I Ain't Fightin' In No Memphis

UFC is all set to debut in Memphis with a card following "The Ultimate Fighter 10" on December 12. Why Memphis? Well, it's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's hometown and he was expected to take on fellow TUF 10 coach Rashad Evans in a much-anticipated fight.

But according to MMABay, a British MMA site with close ties to Jackson's camp, that won't be happening.

"Tonight we have two types of cocaine; normal for 100 Bolivianos a gram, and strong cocaine for 150 [Bolivianos] a gram." The waiter has just finished taking our drink order of two rum-and-Cokes here in La Paz, Bolivia, and as everybody in this bar knows, he is now offering the main course. The bottled water is on the house.

The Great American Bubble Machine

This is a long but incredibly interesting (and appalling!) article that exposes the too-big-to-fail Goldman-Sachs banking firm as the architect and chief profiteer of every major economic bubble of the past century. It shows their hands in everything from the internet boom in the late 90s to the housing and commodities meltdowns of last year.

I know the comments for this post are going to be crazy. Please try to maintain some manner of decorum.

A heartwarming coming-of-age film about the trials and tribulations of high school, friendship, the girl of your dreams, and the zombie fucktoy you keep in an abandoned mental hospital. (It’s basically like Weird Science if Kelly LeBrock had been a corpse).
