Saudi Land Cruiser Falls Down Hole In The Desert
This happened in Saudi a few days ago.
In areas where there is fresh water under ground the locals dig wells And support the sides with concrete and stones to keep the sand from Falling back in to the well. Some of these are up to 100 meters deep. This particular one was 60 meters deep and 4 meters wide, located Outside the small town of Riyadh in the center of Saudi.
The guys went out in the desert for a bit of 4X4 fun on a Thursday when one of them drove in to the well and dropped 60 meters to the bottom with his V8 Cruiser. Rescue workers retrieved the car and the driver had a mild concussion from hitting his head against the wind screen. Hard to believe he is alive.

Great White Shark's Savage Attack Next to Boat in Australia
Hey, Look at that monster attacking something near our boat.
Let's try to touch it!
Massive great white shark launches frenzied attack next to fishing boat Australian authorities have assured swimmers and surfers at Bondi Beach that lifeguards routinely patrol for sharks after footage surfaced recently, showing a massive great white savagely attacking a smaller blue shark attached to a line alongside a fishing boat (footage begins at the 30-second mark).
The incident near Sydney occurred several months ago but the footage wasn't posted until this month, and it has stirred emotions about the possibility of such enormous predators lurking so close to shore off Australia's busiest beach.
"We share the water with the sharks and there's no getting away from that," a spokesman for the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries told the Herald Sun. "We run regular patrols along the beach and out further through the bay to make sure our swimmers are protected from any threat."
Henry Minter, one of the fishermen who was aboard the boat, said the encounter took place only 200 meters, or about the shake of a tail, beyond the shore. He estimated the shark's length to be at least 18 feet.
"We were fishing off the coast of Bondi Beach and were on board a 32-foot powerboat," he said, via email. "Shortly after catching a small blue shark we tied a rope off to it's tail and the large great white appeared obviously attracted by the frenzy of the blue shark. "We were amazed as the shark bit the whole blue shark in half and proceeded to play tug of war with us with the remaining tail half. Never seen anything this big so close to Sydney and has been a real shock to the Sydney fishing and surfing community."
Experts who viewed the video could not verify it was, in fact, Bondi, but there is little reason to doubt the location, since white sharks are known to frequent that part of the Australian coast. What's incredible is the power and fierce determination of the predator as it tries to devour the blue shark, which was tied tail-first to a thick rope.
What seems incredibly risky are the actions of the fishermen, who traded turns trying to touch the larger shark's snout. Category: Pets & Animals Tags: Savage shark attack on video Fishermen and surfers are stunned to learn how close the 18-foot was shore.

Occupy Golf Movement
WE NEED TO BE HEARD!!!
I am a member of golf's lower 99%. I am an indifferent golfer, and there's no way I could ever make it to the professional level. I will never put in the practice time to be the best. I will never have the shots, skills, or mental toughness to "make it" in the sport. I just never felt like working all that hard at it.
However, I am a part of the golfing community and, as such, feel I should be paid by the top 1% of golfers for what I do. It isn't fair that those players who have worked harder, have studied the game, have better equipment and are more skilled and dedicated should make all that BIG money.
Where's my share? I'm a Victim!
The top 1% should pay for my club memberships and green fees and lessons, buy me new clubs, balls, clothes and shoes, and pay me some of their winnings. They can afford it. They are "The Rich." The whole system should be changed to accommodate people like me. I think we should get together and occupy a golf course and demand that those who are better at what they do, pay for us who generally suck. Whining should get us something – maybe we'll make the cover of Time Magazine...and garnish some public sympathy.
Heck, during this election year we may even get a law or two passed by legislators who want our votes.
PS Don't mention this to tennis players. We thought of it first!

Two Quarters or a Dollar Bill?
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer,
'This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.'
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, 'Which do you want, son?'
The boy takes the quarters and leaves the dollar.
'What did I tell you?' said the barber. 'That kid never learns!'
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store and says,
'Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?'
The boy licked his cone and replied,
'Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!'

Grizzly in a Toyota
There are no scratches on the outside of this car, but the vehicle is totaled.
A man in Waterton, came out to find the inside of his 18 month old Toyota Sequoia trashed.
A grizzly bear had somehow got a door open (easy considering the way the handles are) and
once inside got trapped when the door shut behind him. Probably by the wind.
The Toyota was a platinum edition, all the door panels were ripped off, the headliner torn to
pieces, all headrests, the leather seats, the dash shredded. The steering column was twisted
sideways. Two of the six airbags went off, the other four the bear ripped to pieces.
You can imagine a trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag in an enclosed space! He must
have figured he was in for the fight of his life ...and by the looks of this car, he won the fight.
When the bear ripped off the door panels he also clawed all the wiring harnesses out.
Toyota figures every wire he pulled or clawed at resulted in alarm bells, voices or sparks.
The head mechanic at Calgary Toyota doubted if they had the expertise to put this vehicle back
together, even if they had enough parts to do it.
And, to add insult to injury, the bear took a big
dump in the back of the SUV ....and then broke out the rear window.
Fish and wildlife officers have inspected the damage and figure it was a 3 year old Griz.
From blood left behind they are doing DNA.
The vehicle has been written off by the insurance company. The cost new was over $70,000, and
they stopped counting repair costs at $60,000+.
Bad Blonde Joke
Two blonds were sipping their Starbucks when a truck went past loaded up with rolls of sod.
"I'm going to do that when I win the lottery," announced Blond #1.
"Do what?", asked Blond #2.
"Send my lawn out to be mowed."
