Collecting money for charity with each climb; “Spiderman” (as he is known) has scaled some of the tallest buildings in the world (like the twin towers in Kuala Lumpar). Don’t look down.

June 27, 2008of your prank
June 26, 2008As pranksters go, there a few notables. A Frenchman by the name of Rémi Gaillard is one such kidder. His antics around town are caught on film and are worthy of inspired laughter. Be it scoring goals in unlikely places, training hard for the title bout or sneaking onto the pitch for a Montpellier Herault rugby union game; Mr. Gaillard has moxy. The French are funny.
of your difficult
June 2, 2008Selling cars is quite the task these days and making a car worthy of today’s dollar is a difficult task, indeed. The new line of advertising for the Honda Accord aims to point out that “difficult is worth doing” by showcasing some heart-stopping aerial acrobatics. If Honda made planes, would people jump out of them?
of your docking
May 13, 2008The Rules of Speed Docking are rather straight forward: a) remove a laptop and its power supply from a carrying case, b) connect the power along with an external monitor and keyboard, and c) power on the laptop in the least amount of time. The goal is complete when the laptop is ready to accept input. Mind your heads under those desks, folks.
of your race
April 14, 2008Since 2003, Red Bull has held a race so fast and exhilarating, that it reinforces the fact that NASCAR is nothing but 4 hours of left turns. The Red Bull Air Race World Series is an international series of air races whereby skilled airmen pilot through a challenging obstacle course. The successful participates get points relative to place with the top point earner taking the series. Adrenaline included.
of your duo
February 24, 2008If you find yourself in the last leg of your triathlon, pounding the pavement with labored breathing, and need a bit of inspiration to finish out; consider the actions of one man willing to literally go the extra mile for his son. 65-year-old Dick Hoyt ferries, pulls and pushes his 45-year-old, wheel-chair bound son across finish lines–the nation over–an exhausting number of times per year. “Can” is forever championed here.

February 3, 2008Every year, on a particular Sunday, teams pit their skill and abilities against each other in one of the nation’s most demanding, televised events. Who will come out on top? Who will make the most memorable impact? You have but to watch and see. Oh, and there’s a football game that airs around all these promo spots too.
of your flip
January 19, 2008For the past 13 weeks, Coudal Partners’ Layer Tennis has absolutely ruined productivity levels in the advertising/design community. For good reason, of course. Since Week 4 (Hamid vs. Glass), a brave employee has donned the referee garb, stood before the camera and flipped a coin to determine who goes first. Thankfully, the good folks at CP have them all tidily collected on one page for your amusement. Heads or Tails?
of your reunion
December 16, 2007They were your favorite sparring partners for only a quarter dollar entry fee. Go all the way to the championship and be the one true fighter in a sea of mixed disciplines. But where are they now? Guile, Chun Li, Ken? In this original series by CollegeHumor.com; we’re treated to the gang coming back together to have one last tournament.
