A Halo Jump is when you take nothing but a rucksack and fly to the middle of no where and then survive for a few days. We slept in a cave for three nights and walked the most dangerous pathway in Europe. Liam and his three buddies did it and made this video.

Language might be NSFW in a couple of places.

Never joke with a desperate person

February 1, 2012

There’s this guy sitting at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour. Then this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says: “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a man crying.”

“No, it’s not that. This is the worst day of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I’m late to my office. My boss, outraged, fires me. When I
leave the building, to go to my car, I find out it was stolen. The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there but the cab had already driven away. I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar.

And when I’m thinking about putting an end to my life , you show up and drink my poison .”

Building a footpath around a mountain

February 1, 2012

Thousands of meters up the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China, a team of workers, operating with hardly any safety measures, are building a footpath.

The workers are building a plank road on the side of the mountain that, once it is finished, will stretch for 3km (9843 ft) and be China’s longest sightseeing footpath.
