Horse Boarding?

Thrill-seekers listen up. The latest sport to arrive on the market involves a skateboard, some rope, and a horse. They call it horse-boarding. If you love the thrill of water-skiing and windsurfing but don’t like getting wet, this could be for you. A new sport has arrived and all you need for it is a skateboard, some rope and… a horse. Horse-boarding involves being pulled on a board at up to 35mph. It has become so popular that a training centre has opened and Britain’s first championships are to be held this year. Stunt rider Daniel Fowler-Prime, who has worked on films such as Kingdom Of Heaven and The Da Vinci Code, invented it after messing about on a farm with friends. ‘There’s a raw surge of natural power that you wouldn’t get from any other sport,’ said Mr Fowler-Prime, 31. ‘The acceleration is explosive and a lot of skill is involved.” w/ photo

Dog Allergic To Grass?

Experts believe that the he has a virulent form of hayfever. If that wasn’t enough for the poor pooch, he is also on a vegetarian diet due to an allergy to wheat, lamb and beef. Guiness was abandoned by his owners in 2008 because they could no longer cope with him. He is currently being looked after by staff at the Blue Cross animal center in Worchester.” w/ photo

“It looked to me like there was still space on the sides, underneath, if the picks had been inserted at the correct angle. Of course, you know best; you actually did it. I approve of this project – men trying to outdo each other in the realm of toothpicks in their beards. Next time I grow a beard I think I might put some toothpicks in it too.” — hebneh

Top 10 Most Famous Fires In History

“Many times these fires are man-made results of war, but most of the time nature — combined with poor construction techniques, the extensive use of flammable building materials, and the utter lack of any ability to fight really large blazes — were the culprit. A few of these fires stand out in our memory, however, both for their size and some for having had a major role in shaping historical events. Which fires are these? Without further ado, here is my list of the top ten most destructive, most famous, or most historically significant non-war related infernos in history.” w/ photos
