Kelly Bensimon in a Bikini

It's been getting way too heavy around here, so thank God someone finally put a bikini on. Unfortunately none of you know who Kelly Bensimon is because she's on The Real Housewives of New York which exactly five people watch yet somehow you're dating one of them. On that note, to extract any sexiness out of this post, you're going to want to focus on the just-barely exposed areola and not the over-tanned wildebeest it's attached to. Trust me on this one.

Snake Bite

A street performer used a snake in his act on a road near Islamabad, Pakistan, Wednesday. Snake charming is the practice of apparently hypnotising a snake by simply playing an instrument. A typical performance may also include handling the snakes or performing other seemingly dangerous acts, as well as other street performance staples, like juggling and sleight of hand. The practice is most common in India, though other Asian nations such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia are also home to performers, as are the North African countries of Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia.

Simply Stunning: Vanessa Correa

Hispanic hottie Vanessa Correa is looking amazing in this smokin’ hot shoot from 2008. I know nothing about her other than her name and what I see. Damn she’s hot. Now it’s picture time – 28 of them in all, each one hotter than the next. Did I mention this chick is hot?

Troops Storm Marjah, Afghanistan

Thousands of British, U.S. and Canadian troops swept into Taliban areas to the north of Marjah.

San Juan Tour Jeep Restoration Project

I've been hunting for a "San Juan Scenic Tour " Jeep for quite some time now. In the Fall of 2004 I was given a lead on this truck by fellow Willys enthusiast Don Scott. At first it didn't catch my interest because of the obvious Monster Truck stance. I was looking for an original vehicle to restore, though the kid in me thought that it would be a cool addition to my collection! Well, on our trip to Ouray in October of 2004 I thought we'd take the southern route there and take a peek at it for a possible picture of the week shot. Needless to say, the rest is history! Follow the links below for more information on this strange vehicle.

This Is What Kevin Costner Should Have Had In Waterworld

If the world really does get flooded like in Waterworld, energy supplies will be scarcer than ever. So we'll need this craft, the world's largest solar-powered boat, with 5,382 square feet of solar panels. The ship, measuring 102 feet long and almost 50 feet wide, took 13 months to build in the German city of Kiel. It'll have its formal launching in April, and skipper Raphael Domjan hopes to sail it around the world in 2011.

Brimstone Quadracycle

The Brimstone Quadracycle is a heady mix of hot rod styling, quad bike layout and V8 power. Each bike is built to order and designed to fit the buyer perfectly due to custom seat, handle bar and foot peg locations. The Brimstone Quadracyle is built using a range of lightweight and high-tech materials usually reserved for top-end supercars and the aerospace industry. Carbon fiber, Kevlar, aluminium, titanium and magnesium are all used - or available as an option - throughout the vehicle. Powering the Brimstone Quadracycle is an aluminium Dart 427 - 455 cubic inch (7.0 - 7.4 litre) small block V8 producing anywhere from 300 to 750 horsepower depending on the buyers level of insanity. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and an aluminium 8.8 Ford IRS differential. The 0-60 mph run takes just 2.8 seconds.

The Bloody Truth: How to Interpret Blood Spatters

Some people can’t stand the sight of blood. Rod Englert is not one of those people. A detective with 45 years of investigative experience, Englert analyzes the Jackson Pollock-like spatters of hemoglobin and plasma at crime scenes. His new book, Blood Secrets, touts his biggest cases, and it’s also a handy manual for wannabe Dexters (minus the serial killing, we hope). Here’s a look at what those stains are trying to tell you.
