Best Restaurant Ever......Ninja New York!

I found this and thought it was super cool....almost makes me want to come out of restaurant retirement! I love when they jump down from the celing!

Turks&Caicos eh?

Just came across something kinda interesting, something about adding Turks and Caicos to Canada!

Apparently, at various times during the last 100 years various Canadian Politicians have suggested some form of union between Canada and Turks&Caicos. This is because of the large number of Canadian tourists to the islands,it's British colony roots,and historic trade links.

Surprisingly, the government was still looking at the possibility of this union March of last year! One of the earlier problems was how they were going to designate the islands because it wasn't a province. Nova Scotia voted to invite Turks&Caicos to join the province in 2004, should the islands ever become part of Canada.

Inside Ourselves

I saw this exhibit in Las Vegas a few years ago. It's hard to describe the different feelings you get while looking through it. You can easily spend a couple of hours going through it, especially if you stop to read the different information on what each body is displaying. Alot of the bodies are displayed in various active poses. The bodies are all donated by the people themselves with the understanding that the bodies are all anonomous.They use a ploymer preservation process developed in the 1970's. The most interesting thing I found was the blood vessels and the nerve's and such, and I admit the deformaties too. The grossest thing was definately seeing a person's entire skin by itself laying on a table...really discusting and amazing how much skin we have and how thick! I really had the urges to touch them, which is prohibited, but funny enough at the end they have a heart you can touch if you want and I was too grossed out.

By the way Bodies the Exhibition is held in cities all over the world!

Cabbages and Condoms

Cabbages and Condoms is a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. They are also a bar,internet cafe, and massage parlor. So basically, you can have a drink to work up your courage, get it on at the massage parlor, go online and tell everyone about it, then eat some cabbage. This is they sequence I would suggest because eating the cabbage first can lead to some pretty embarrassing situations. A portion of the restaurant's proceeds go to local family planning programs. My favorite thing about this place....it's motto: Our food is guarenteed not to cause pregnancy.

Tennis Anyone?

I don't know how anyone would be able to focus on actually playing tennis up there, but I guess it's still interesting that someone with a great imagination was able to get the support to build it.

This is the world's highest tennis court, located on Burj Al Arab building in Dubai(Arab Sail). The building itself is the second largest hotel at 690 feet high. They use the tennis court as a helicopter landing when not in use, I would recommend wearing orange just in case!

Don't Look Before You Leap!

This is the Stratosphere's newest thing....SKYJUMP!!!

Skyjump is the highest controlled free fall in the world. Before the jump riders are prepped and suited up in jumpsuits, and are also given a safety lesson (hard to remember a word of the safety lesson when your nervous, as Mike and I found out when skydiving for the first time!).

The Rider is connected to a high speed 'decender' (whatever that is) and led to the edge of the platform. Proceed to take a step and plummet through the sky 855 feet, the equivalent of 108 floors....sounds easy enough eh?!
